  2. Internal card reader doesn't work

    in Hardware

    Posted · Edited by Arvin Juan

    It actually doesn't work. Here are the contents of my /etc/modprobe.preload:

    yenta_socket
tifm_7xx1
mmc_core
mmc_block
sdhci

     

    The device can be detected but when I try to insert a card, it doesn't get recognized, there's no pop-up window.

  4. Internal card reader doesn't work

    in Hardware

    Posted

    I have an internal card reader on my laptop with the model specified above. When I open harddrake it is able to detect the device but when I try to insert a card nothing happens. I also tried to browse to /media but it can't find the device there.

     

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

  6. Installing Java plugin on Firefox 2.0.0.3

    in Tips and Tricks

    Posted · Edited by Arvin Juan

    I am using Mandriva 2007.1 Spring with pre-installed Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.3. Unfortunately, firefox doesn't have the java plugin (or any other plugins) pre-installed. So here's how to do it:

    1) Download the Java Installer from the sun website and copy it to /usr/java (You might need to create the directory if it is missing).

    2) Perform the following

    # chmod a+x jre-6u1-linux-i586-rpm.bin

    3) Next

    # ./jre-6u1-linux-i586-rpm.bin

    4) Next go to the mozilla plugin directory

    # cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

    5) Run the following

    # ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_01/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

    6) Now go to the firefox plugin directory

    # cd /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.3/plugins/

    6) Run the same command as in step 5

    # ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_01/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

    7) Open your firefox browser, or restart the browser if it is already opened.

    8) Then go to Edit > Preferences. Under Content category > Select Enable Java.

    9) To make sure that the plugin is installed, type about:plugins in your browser and press Enter. You should see something like below:

    application/x-java-vm Java Yes

    application/x-java-applet Java Yes

    application/x-java-applet;version=1.1 Java Yes

    application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.1 Java Yes

    application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.2 Java Yes

    application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.3 Java Yes

    application/x-java-applet;version=1.2 Java Yes

    application/x-java-applet;version=1.2.1 Java Yes

    application/x-java-applet;version=1.2.2 Java Yes

    application/x-java-applet;version=1.3 Java Yes

    application/x-java-applet;version=1.3.1 Java Yes

    application/x-java-applet;version=1.4 Java Yes

    application/x-java-applet;version=1.4.1 Java Yes

    application/x-java-applet;version=1.4.2 Java Yes

    application/x-java-applet;version=1.5 Java Yes

    application/x-java-applet;version=1.6 Java Yes

    application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_01 Java Yes

     

    10) You can also go to Verify Java Installation in the sun website to check if the plugin is already installed.

  7. mozilla + java-1.5.0 = not working for me [solved]

    in Command Line, Kernel and Programming

    Posted · Edited by Arvin Juan

    I am trying to install the java runtime environment from the sun website to my Firefox 2.0.0.3. I followed the instructions from http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#rpm.

     

    But when I opened my firefox browser and browse to http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp, the page displays but the applet doesn't load.

     

    Any help on this?

     

    Finally, I was able to install the plugin to my Firefox browser. Here are the steps I did:

    1) Execute the steps in http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#rpm.

    2) For the instruction in http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#enable, make a link of the java directory to firefox and mozilla by executing the commands below:

    cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/										  <-- (mozilla directory)
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_01/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so		<-- (jre version is 1.6.0_01)
cd /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.3/plugins/									<-- (firefox directory)
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_01/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

    3) Go to Edit > Preferences. Under Content category > Select Enable Java.

  15. How I Got Wireless Working with ndiswrapper

    in Tips and Tricks

    Posted

    Your wireless card has a native Linux driver for it, as you have already been told in this post here. :)

     

    All you need to do is use the easyurpmi link in that post to set up urpmi, and be sure to add the plf-free and plf-non-free repos. Then in a terminal as root do

    urpmi dkms-ipw3945

    or use the gui Software Installer and select dkms-ipw3945, it will install the other dependencies automatically. Then use the gui to set up you network connection.

     

    I got my wireless device working after your comment. Thanks to all those who helped.

    I just installed Mandriva 2007.1 Spring and tried installing ndiswrapper to make my wireless device work. But when I tried to run modprobe I encountered the following error:

    FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/kernel/3rdparty/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko.gz): Invalid argument

    FATAL: Error running install command for ndiswrapper

     

    I am trying to install ndiswrapper for Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (w39n51.sys and w39n51.inf)

     

    I would appreciate any help.
