By enabling the Benchmark option in Compiz I can see that ticking "enable sync to vblank" under General in Compiz will keep the Frames to 30 per second. Unticked, it is about 60. However, choosing the equivalent option in the OpenGL tab of Nvidia X settings doesn't seem to have any effect. Which option(s) should I enable?</p>

<p>I thought you could do it with <code>padsp</code>, but this code doesn't run:</p>
<pre><code>import ossaudiodev
f = ossaudiodev.open("w")
fmt, channels, rate = dsp.setparameters(fmt, channels, rate)
</code></pre>
<p>(running it via <code>padsp python script.py</code>)</p>
<p>The error I get is <code>No such file or directory: '/dev/dsp'</code>.</p>

The original question is below, but I'm now more interested in why it worked after the Install but not the Live CD. Is this a bug I should file?</p>
<hr>
<p>I'm running the Ubuntu Maverick Live CD to make sure all the hardware on my laptop works before installing. The one problem I have is with HDMI Audio Out. </p>
<p>After I plug in the HDMI cable (or boot with it plugged in), I go to System > Preferences > Sound</p>
<p>Under the "Hardware" tab, I can select "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output", but then the only entry under the "Output" tab is "Dummy Output." I don't hear any sound out of the TV speakers, and if I press "Test Speakers," the Sound dialog crashes. </p>
<p>here's the output of <code>aplay -l</code></p>

33593 | 1 | 33630 | 2011-04-05T05:57:59.183 | 5 | 5682 | <p>I'll start my saying that although I've used Ubuntu for a number of years I've rarely taken the time to explore Linux under the hood. I've been content to rely on GUI tools for most of my needs, only resorting to a terminal when a suitable GUI tool could not be found.</p>
<p>A few weeks back I did a default install of the Zentyal (ebox) distro and set up an email server for a school. Unfortunately, the default file system configuration allocated only three partitions:</p>
<ul>
<li>/ - 6GB</li>
<li>swap - 4GB</li>
<li>/home - 96GB</li>
</ul>
<p>After being in operation for only a few weeks the root parition has filled and has taken the server to its knees. So I need to find a way to either resize or free up space in the root partition.</p>
<p>I've been able to figure out that the space hog is <code>/var</code>, the file system was setup using lvm and that both <code>/</code> and <code>/home</code> are in the same volume group. I've attempted booting from a live cd so I could shrink <code>/home</code> and enlarge <code>/</code>. I'm more comfortable with GUI tools so I used system-config-lvm. The odd thing is that from the live cd it showed the <code>/home</code> partition (or volume or whatever its called) as <em>not having a file system at all</em>. When I log in normally I can see that it is in fact using ext4.</p>
<p>This server is running as a vmware guest so I made a snapshot and went ahead and tried to resize. Everything appeared to resize without error however, after rebooting I was informed that <code>/home</code> could no longer be mounted. The only account that needs the <code>/home</code> folder is the server administrator (me) but apparently Zentyal must use it for something because I couldn't access Zentyal's web interface and the server wasn't receiving any emails.</p>
<p>So I reverted to the snapshot I had taken and here I sit. No closer to solving this problem than I was before.</p>
<p>Any help would be appreciated.</p>

Anyway the normal steps there are after booting from the live cd (This are going to be several command lines not gui bases):</p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Do NOT mount any of the LVM (Obvious reasons. you are going to resize it so do not mounted yet.)</li>\n<li>Do a fsck to the partition you want to change. Just in case.</li>\n<li>First do <code>e2fsck -f PARTITION</code></li>\n<li>Since we want to remove space from /home and give it to root we do:<br>\n4.1. Do <code>resize2fs PARTITION SIZE</code> or <code>resize2fs -f PARTITION SIZE</code> to the HOME partition before you use <a href=\"http://linux.die.net/man/8/lvreduce\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">lvreduce</a> on it. Remember that you <strong>MUST</strong> have enough space free for the final size after the resize is made. Do a <strong>resize2fs -p</strong> on the new home partition size just to make sure it has the correct block size.<br>\n4.2 Use <a href=\"http://linux.die.net/man/8/lvextend\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">lvextend</a> on the ROOT partition and then do <code>resize2fs PARTITION SIZE</code> or <code>resize2fs -f PARTITION SIZE</code> on it. And do again a <strong>resize2fs -p</strong> on it to make sure it has the correct block size.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>NOTE - After doing lvreduce or lvextend to each partition you need to do <code>e2fsck -fn</code> to force a check on the partition for consistency (It will read-only the partition and check if even if it is clean) </p>\n\n<p>An example for the lvm tools: </p>\n\n<p><code>lvreduce -L -35G \"Home Partition\"</code> - Home Partition will have 35GB less.<br>\n<code>lvextend -L +35G \"Root Partition\"</code> - Root Partition will have 35GB more.</p>\n\n<p>Hope this helps in figuring out how to do it and with the snapshots am guessing you will.</p>\n\n<p>UPDATE - After doing a curious search found another user from Red Hat, similar problem: <a href=\"https://serverfault.com/questions/13666/how-can-i-resize-a-lvm-partition-in-red-hat-without-lose-of-data\">https://serverfault.com/questions/13666/how-can-i-resize-a-lvm-partition-in-red-hat-without-lose-of-data</a></p>\n\n<p>UPDATE2 - Added what psusi says in the comments since THAT is the correct way and i need to drink coffee before reading/writing something.</p>\n\n<p>UPDATE3 - Thank <strong>psusi</strong> below for the several corrections.</p>\n\n<p>NOTE - This is for partitions made with ext2/3/4 and am guessing blocks that are not 1K/2K since i read somewhere that it did not work for them (Not tested since i have 512 Bytes)</p>\n",

However, they fall back to XUL notifications when communicating with a notification system which doesn't support actions (ie, notify-osd). This is because the types of notifications provided by Firefox and Thunderbird show information that is only really useful if the actual notification allows the user to interact with it (eg, \"download finished\" should provide a way for the user to access the downloaded file. A \"new mail\" notification should provide a way to access the new mail, and be persistent).</p>\n\n<p>Making Thunderbird and Firefox use libnotify when the notification system doesn't support actions would provide a very sub-optimal experience if we made no other UI changes.</p>\n\n<p>There is already ongoing work to integrate Thunderbird in to the messaging menu. Part of this will involve having new-mail alerts via notify-osd. Persistence will be provided by the messaging menu.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to this, I will at some point start work on integrating download notifications in Firefox with notify-osd and the Unity launcher (with the launcher being able to show a progressbar, and use quicklists as a way to access finished downloads).

<p>In windows everything works fine, but in Ubuntu every time I turn to network and make some actions (e.g., it's happening while I'm writing this message) this button goes crazy. It starts blinking. If I just read the page-it doesn’t blink. There are no pop-up messages like “Wi-Fi connected/Wi-Fi disconnected/Wi-Fi conn…”. But network connection blinks in the company of the button.</p>
<p>If I try xev, the event tester doesn’t show anything-it seems I don't push it. If I try to make a new action in keyboard shortcut settings- it doesn't see I push this button in a hope to change it's assignment. Despite of this the button works. Sometimes, when it's not blinking I can push it and it changes it's colour- so, somehow it works. How can I configure this button or the whole panel? Or what driver I must install manually?</p>

If your system allows you to enable or disable hardware in a pre-boot environment, try turning off hardware you aren't using. If it happens on every restart before you do anything, you could try uninstalling things, but at this point you'll want to be running syscall profiling tools to track down specific applications that seem to be causing this overload.</p>\n\n<p>It is to be hoped that your specific system will stop expressing this behaviour with a future kernel upgrade (and many of the most common causes of this have been solved).</p>\n",

33641 | 1 | 33673 | 2011-04-05T14:07:08.993 | 7 | 21483 | <p>When I start up my development environment, there are a variety of processes I need to run in the background. It is a pain to start them all individually so I want to write a script that starts each one. I can do this just fine but the problem comes when I need to restart them (something I will need to do regularly).</p>
<p>What is the easiest way to capture the process upon starting it and saving that information so that when I run the script again, it will check to see if that information has been saved and then close down those processes before restarting them.</p>
<p>I also want the script to be flexible enough such that if I shutdown the process manually, it will a) not throw an error if it can't find the process and b) not accidentally shut down some other process that has since then shared whatever identifying information I have stored.</p>
<h2>Update</h2>
<p>More specifically, I want to at least do the following at the moment:</p>
<p>1) Type a short command like "start-dev"</p>
<p>2) Execute the following (Note that I want the second and third commands to run in the background and am using & to do so but not the final command as I want to see the output from passenger as it runs):</p>
<ol>
<li>Change to my working directory</li>
<li>Start faye as a background process</li>
<li>Start watchr as a background process</li>
<li>Start passenger</li>
</ol>
<p>So far I have got this</p>
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
cd ~/path/to/my/working-directory
rackup faye.ru -s thin -E production &
watch refresh.watchr &
passenger start
</code></pre>
<p>This works fine but the problem comes when I need to restart all these processes. I first have to track down all their process ids and then kill them before running start-dev again. Therefore I would like to:</p>
<p>4) Type a short command like "restart-dev" which tracks down the processes I have previously run in the background and then kill them before running "start-dev" again. It needs to be able to not throw an error if I have shut down any of these manually and not accidentally shutdown an incorrect process. </p>

If I am typing in any sort of input (for example the terminal or a text field in Firefox or a text editor), I can type a few letters and then the entire OS will freeze for about half a second and I will lose focus. I can then (if I'm quick) click back into the input and continuing typing before it freezes again.</p>
<p>This will continue until I try and do something like close Firefox, kill/start a process from the terminal or save my work from a text editor. At that point the entire system locks up and I have to force the virtual machine to close.</p>
<p>I only experience this if Ubuntu has been running for some time with a minimum of roughly 1 hour. I am running Ubuntu as a guest on Virtual box (version 4.0.4) from inside a Windows 7 host. Windows itself does not freeze or become inoperable at all during this time.</p>
<p>The only thing I can do is to restart Ubuntu and get as much work done before it decides to freeze again. Very frustrating.</p>
<p>What steps can I take to solve or further troubleshoot this problem?</p>
<h2>Update</h2>
<p>Following <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/33649/guest-has-mini-freezes-on-virtual-box/33671#33671">Takkat's instructions</a>, I was already doing the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Had VT-x/AMD-V enabled</li>
<li>Latest version of virtual box</li>
<li>Guest additions installed</li>
<li>Disabled 3D acceleration</li>
<li>Enabled nested paging</li>
<li>RAM set to under half of total system RAM (3GB out of 8GB)</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, I did the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Disabled screensaver in Ubuntu</li>
<li>Reduced cores from 2 to 1</li>
<li>Increased Video memory</li>
</ul>
<p>This seems to have completely fixed the problem. Thanks!</p>

<p>my question is, is there a command line program that could automatically graph the output of this (preferably live)? so you could write</p>
<pre><code>ffmpeg -i inputfile.avi -lotsofoptions -outputfile.avi > graphprogramorsomething
</code></pre>
<p>and it would produce a nice chart showing how the fps and things varied throughout the whole process.</p>
<p>Not really a mission critical request but would make the wait much nicer...</p>

<p>For anyone who stumbles on this question looking for help - if a printer is automatically shared via Homegroup, <strong>that does not mean it is shared over the workgroup. To share over a workgroup requires you to have a valid set of credentials on the <em>Windows</em> machine.</strong></p>
<p>Anyhoo, I know Homegroup and Workgroup work via different protocols. My question is, is there a shim to make Ubuntu talk to a Homegroup, or are we stuck networking with Windows like it's 2004?</p>

<p>I plugged a joystick in to play Spiral Knights, also installed joystick and jcalibrate. Everything is working good, except by default the joystick moves the mouse around and the button activate mouse keys.</p>
<p>Now normally this would be good behavior if I'm on a Myth-box or something, unfortunately when I play Spiral Knights with joystick input I see my mouse cursor moving in the back ground and when I hit a button it thinks I'm pressing right-click so it minimizes everything. Also it creates folders and probably deletes stuff.</p>
<p>So, basically how the heck do I stop it from acting as a mouse?</p>

</blockquote>
<p>I have just moved from my old webcam to a Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000 (or so). Yes, I know it's an old webcam. I just replaced an older one, a QuickCam Chat. With the old one, I used camorama with a very specific incantation to make the gods of V4L happy. </p>
<p>With the old QuickCam, I had two main uses. The first was that it was a rear-view mirror that I had set in a window in the corner of my monitor, so the motion would tell me if people come up behind me. The second is to take a picture every 20 minutes or so, so I can keep track of my beard growth, etc. Both of these were very easy to set, once you 1) found the magical incantation to appease the V4L gods and 2) set the color correction so you didn't look quite so blue.</p>
<p>I now have the Pro working. It talks to VLC. It talks to Cheese. It talks to the GMail Chat website. What it does not do, that I can tell, is work with camorama.</p>
<p>I don't mind this. Honestly, software that's been abandoned for 4 years in the state it is, that's well worth escaping. But I can't just keep Cheese open because it can't be set to take pictures. And I can't just set a crontab with <code>streamer -c /dev/video0 -b 16 -o outfile.jpeg</code> because then I lose my rearview mirror.</p>
<p>Do I have to look into rolling my own webcam software here? Forking Cheese to get my scheduled picture-taking? Or is there a webcam program that does what I want that I just don't know about yet?</p>

33716 | 1 | null | 2011-04-05T22:07:05.477 | 4 | 1208 | <p>I have the following vexing problem I've been trying to solve for weeks now, to no avail so far.</p>
<p>*<em>WARNING overly long question---in short: *</em> what I need, in essence, is a system-wide way to exactly define what fonts will be used to display a given unicode codepoint. Ideally, this decision would be made by referring to unicode code blocks, with a way to give fallbacks for missing codepoints and, super-plus, to define overrides for single codepoints.</p>
<p>I have found no solution so far, and many descriptions on the net seem to be outdated for ubuntu 10.04.</p>
<p>Helpful answers do include explanations or pointers to how the current ubuntu font rendering is intended to work, and what you can possibly configure at all.</p>
<p>*<em>long explanation: *</em></p>
<p>I work a lot with unicode characters from the so-called 'astral planes', that is, with codepoints beyond unicode's original 16 bits. Now there are many situations---browser address bar, terminal, text editors---where fonts can not be configured the way you would do, say, in a word processor or an html/css file, where you can explicitly define the font for each character to be displayed.</p>
<p>Instead, in each such application, precisely what image will appear is a result of fonts installed on the system, application-wide settings, possibly font system configuration, and, it would seem, your good or bad luck.</p>
<p>For the purpose of working with chinese/japanese/korean (cjk) characters I have installed Sun-ExtA. Ttf, Sun-ExtB. Ttf, and BabelStoneHan. Ttf, alongside with quite a number of other fonts, including the default ubuntu offering. Also, I have (under wine) <a href="http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelMap.html" rel="nofollow">BabelMap</a> and do all of my editing in <a href="http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit" rel="nofollow">Komodo Edit 6.1</a>.</p>
<p>Komodo is configured to use DejaVu Sans Mono, which I find sufficiently pleasant to work with. By way of system-wide glyph substitution (i believe), I am getting a lot of correct images for cjk codepoints. However, I am not entirely sure those images do indeed originate from the the fonts mentioned above. You see, the cjk blocks contain well over 70000 codepoints, some with subtle differences, some with negligible variants, and some being outright copies. It's a surprisingly hairy subject. Basically you can only successfully work in this field if you can be absolutely sure what a given codepoint is intended to look like, and the most faithful renderings I have found are contained in the fonts mentioned above.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, ubuntu seems to mess up quite a few codepoints. Take, for example, </p>
<pre><code>u-cjk/5f50 彐
u-cjk-rad1/2f39 ⼹
u-cjk-rad2/2e95 ⺕
</code></pre>
<p>In all applications---including firefox without the proper css, and komodo---these three codepoints look exactly identical on my machine. However, if you look the characters up in a source like <a href="http://www.longwiki.net/%E5%BD%90" rel="nofollow">http://www.longwiki.net/%E5%BD%90</a> (<a href="http://www.longwiki.net/%E5%BD%90" rel="nofollow">彐</a>, <a href="http://www.longwiki.net/%E2%BC%B9" rel="nofollow">⼹</a>, <a href="http://www.longwiki.net/%E2%BA%95" rel="nofollow">⺕</a>), which, in my experience, has very well selected gifs for the characters in question, there are subtle differences between these three codepoints.</p>
<p>I am not so happy that unicode chose to define so many virtually-identical codepoints, but then cjk encoding has been known to be quite a hard problem for decades. Now I do have fonts (here it's Sun-ExtA. Ttf) installed that render these three codepoints with the intended looks, but my feeling is that these fonts never get a chance to render because ubuntu or whoever at some point intervenes, declaring that all these codepoints should be conflated to a single one. Or maybe it's some font that ubuntu considers the correct font for these codepoints that does the conflation. Let me show you why it is highly unlikely that this is the correct and desired behavior: from the list above you can see the codepoints reside in three different unicode blocks, namely</p>
<pre><code>CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPHS
KANGXI RADICALS
CJK RADICALS SUPPLEMENT
</code></pre>
<p>Respectively. The unicode consortium has developed a pretty strange viewpoint on the so-called 'radicals', which means they treat them as 'symbols' (for symbols of sections in dictionaries), not as 'characters' (which you use to write texts), which I believe is plain bollocks. This policy drives unicode to include a character like 馬 'horse' more than one time, as</p>
<pre><code>u-cjk/99ac 馬
u-cjk-rad1/2fba ⾺
</code></pre>
<p>Which to me is plain and simple a case of unwarranted codepoint duplication, and it's a stated policy of unicode that these points show the same but are to be treated differently. Now while there are known and admitted cases of inadvertant character/glyph duplication (where some comittee got drowned in the myriads of codepoints and admitted a character more than once---other codesets suffer from that problem, too), this is highly unlikely in this case. The two radicals blocks are but a few hundred codepoints long, and the supplemental one was added only after the introduction of the primary 'kangxi' radicals block (even the naming is whacky), for <strong>the sole purpose of differentiating glyphs</strong>. Therefore, given the assumption that it is highly unlikely such a doublet was introduced by error (any first-year student of chinese could check those short lists for correctness---that's what you spend a lot of time with when learning chinese, sorting out and remembering all those near-lookalikes), we must conclude that a difference in appearance at least between two of the codepoints was fully intended by unicode, and, therefore, my computer is wrong in trying to convince me they should look the same.</p>
<p>Another glitch I have noticed is that some intermittent codepoints are definitely displayed using another font than most others; as an example, the three codepoints in the first group below are rendered by some sans-serif font (possibly from the Ume Gothic or Wen Quan Yi series), while the second is rendered in song style: </p>
<pre><code>u-cjk/534b 卋
u-cjk/5359 卙
u-cjk/535b 卛
u-cjk/534c 卌
u-cjk/534f 协
u-cjk/535a 博
</code></pre>
<p>This behavior can be observed both in gedit and komodo edit, so I can be pretty sure it happensx on the os level, not within the application. </p>
<p>Observe that the codepoints in question are immediately neighboring ones, so my guess is that the default song-style font has a few missing codepoints, and ubuntu believes a sans-serif font to contain the best alternatives for those points---and gets it wrong, since, after all, the installed Sun-ExtA.ttf does have a complete coverage of song-style glyphs for this block of unicode (that said, I have never seen a glyph substitution system that really works).</p>
<p>Above, I mentioned BabelMap, which is quite an useful tool for doing character encoding work. One of the outstanding aspects of BabelMap is that the glyph table can be configured in a very manageable way to use specific fonts for each unicode block. I'd actually like to have even more fine-grained control for a few border cases, but this is as good as it seems to get in this age. </p>

<p>I can't figure out how to update Google Chrome dev channel I installed a while ago.</p>

<li>I can't do it via the "About Google Chrome" like in Windows.</li>

<li>Ubuntu Software Centre under Get Software/Google/google-chrome-unstable/More Info says "Version: 12.0.725-r80304" which would be the latest, but running Crhome, the "About Google Chrome" dialog tells me it is "11.0.686.1 dev"</li>

<p>What am I doing wrong? By the way is "unstable" a synonym for "dev" in Google Chrome. Ubuntu Software Centre only lists "beta", "stable", and "unstable" but not "dev".</p>

<p><strong>UPDATE</strong> ... I've just checked more carefully... It actually <em>did</em> changed the font, from 8-14 (it only offers 8 14 and 16).. The width of each char did not change; they only got taller (ie. fewer lines on the screen) ...<br>
I'm getting <strong>160</strong> characters across the screen (on a 17"CRT). That makes it impossible for me... So it seems like it may be a screen resolution issue, and not a font issue (unless I can choose a larger font size somehow) </p>

I have downloaded the Windows drivers and updated Ubuntu to 10.10 by manually connecting the computer to the router. I also installed ndiswrapper-gtk. I get a Windows Wireless Drivers in my Administration menu, and I was able to get it to read the Windows 7 .inf file. The .inf for XP does not work. It adds it and the driver appears in the list with "Hardware: present". I set up the wireless connection information (ESSID and WPA2-Personal key).</p>
<p>Problem:
I don't see the network manager icon in the top right of the screen. I managed to manually start it manually using <code>sudo services network-manager restart</code> but it shows no connections in the menu, saying that there's nothing to manage.
In my /etc/network/interfaces file I have an entry for the loopback and the standard two-liner for eth0 with dhcp.
From memory, something like:</p>
<pre><code>iface eth0
auto eth0 dhcp
</code></pre>
<p>I had read somewhere that 10.10 would have standard support for my wireless adapter (TL-WN7200ND) but that seems not to be the case. However, I don't ever remember having the network-manager icon in the top-right and it does not auto-start at the moment. This was originally an Ubuntu 9.10 install that I've upgraded over time. I also used to use pppoeconf to connect to the net, which might affect the /etc/network/interfaces file?</p>

Whatever I configure, the printer just prints about 60% of the page width. As if the page were very small, leaving large empty spaces. I have tried printing from Firefox, Chrome, and OpenOffice. I have tried setting the "Paper Size" to different settings. I have taken out all margins. I have used "Adjust to fit on page" and printed on "100%" (and 150% and 50%⁾. I have installed the printer under Ubuntu 10.10 using this tutorial: <a href="http://all-about-ubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/12/epson-lx-300-printer-driver.html" rel="nofollow">http://all-about-ubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/12/epson-lx-300-printer-driver.html</a>, and I have tried using this driver: <a href="http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Epson/Epson-Dot_Matrix" rel="nofollow">http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Epson/Epson-Dot_Matrix</a>. I have also tried by just using Ubuntu default setting.</p>
<p>All of this has given no results. I can not get this printer to print on the full width of the page. </p>
<p>Anybody any idea?</p>

Becos the data transfer rate over a USB 2.0 is limited, you see. So, in that context, a liveCD version has several advantages over a full install on a USB.</p>\n\n<p>Firstly, a liveCD stores its data in compressed loop files, typically using squashfs. And becos the data is compressed, it can be transferred off the USB more quickly. Whereas with a full install, the data is uncompressed.</p>\n\n<p>Secondly, benchmarks for data transfer off a USB show that large files transfer much faster than a lot of small files. With the LiveCD format, the data is stored in one or more large cloop files, which is ideal. But with the full install version, there are many smaller files. And that can result in a slower data transfer rate.</p>\n\n<p>Thirdly, a liveCD linux uses a union filesystem like AUFS. It is a virtual file system, sometimes known as a stackable filesystem. It is designed such that write cycles to the USB are minimized, certainly much less that for the full install version on a USB. This helps becos a) data writes to a USB take x2 longer than reads, and b) excessive writing to your usb will wear it out sooner.</p>\n",

33818 | 1 | 34042 | 2011-04-06T17:45:37.933 | 3 | 3836 | <p>My laptop Lenovo T400 lost its wireless connection and couldn't detect the available wireless networks, immediately after I moved my laptop from one desk to another. I am not sure if moving it physically is the reason, but occasionally it is followed by losing wireless connection and detection.</p>
<p>I tried the following ways that I know to restart the wireless network card but couldn't make it work:</p>
<pre><code># 1st way
$ sudo ifdown wlan0
ifdown: interface wlan0 not configured
$ sudo ifup wlan0
Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0.
# 2nd way
$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
# 3rd way
$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
* Reconfiguring network interfaces... [ OK ]
</code></pre>
<p>I was wondering </p>
<ol>
<li>what the above three ways mean and
how they differ from each other?</li>
<li>Am I using them wrongly in order to
restart my wireless network card and
make it work?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks and regards!</p>
<p>P.S. I have both Gnome network manager and WICD installed on my Ubuntu 10.10. But I have exited WICD, and it does not help.</p>
<hr>
<p><strong>Update:</strong>
I followed the link <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/internet/C/troubleshooting-wireless.html" rel="nofollow">https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/internet/C/troubleshooting-wireless.html</a>. The following command</p>
<pre><code>$sudo lshw -C network
</code></pre>
<p>says my wlan0 is "Disabled", although it can find the wireless device wlan0 and gives information about it, such as the product name, vendor, phisal id, bus info, and clock frequency etc, which might suggests the wireless card is in place. </p>
<p>In such case, the link asks me to "Check that the device is on”: </p>
<blockquote>
<p>Many wireless network devices can be
turned on or off. Check to see if
there is a hardware switch, some
devices can be switched off from
Windows and may need to be turned back
on from Windows.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>As I did not switch from Windows, I was wondering how I now check if there is a hardware switch? How can I turn my wireless network device on? Thanks!</p>

</blockquote>
<p>I am currently using Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop , the model of my wireless chip is broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY . </p>
<p>I tried to activate the driver for the chip by going to <code>System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers</code> and activated Broadcom STA wireless driver.
But the laptop can't detect any wireless signal still.</p>
<p>Do I have to do any additional work to make the chip work ? Or how can I test if there is physical damage to the chip itself?</p>
