Linux Live CDs

Posts Tagged ‘driver’

hello, i am trying to run the linux distribution Kubuntu on my inspiron 1520 laptop. When i run Kubuntu from a live cd, after a short period of time, it recognizes a proprietary wireless driver that needs to be installed before i can connect to the internet (duh). Problem. when i install kubuntu via a hard disk partition, it will not recognize the driver, even if i use the start menu to search for proprietary drivers. this has me stumped. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ps. the driver is a Broadcom b43 wireless driver.

Alright, I need to reinstall Windows XP sp2 I’ve got a os recovery disk from dell, when I try to install it everything goes fine until a few minutes after the restart. Then It tell me to insert the disk containing “Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio Installation” I’m pretty sure It should be on the os recovery disk so when I put it back in It tells me to locate the driver “hdaudbus.sys”, but my keyboard and mouse go dead. What should I do, It’s my only computer and now I’m running it on a a linux ubuntu live CD and I need Windows back up. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

On my computer, and my brother’s computer, our CD Drives do not read Memorex CD-R’s, which I bought a lot of, so how could I fix this? Is my driver outdated? Can I download an update?

I was going to use this CD, (700 MegaBytes) as a Live CD, or Boot Up CD, for Linux Ubuntu, so it is pretty important I fix this.

Also, I have a USB Keyboard, when I re-boot into safe mode, I cannot use it to choose new settings, how could I fix this?

i am currently running linux ubuntu 7.10. i just installed it with a live cd. i have a lg cd driver. i am trying to burn a couple of iso to some blank cd’s but they wont show up and when i put a identical disk in with music or files the computer understands it. can somebody tell me what is causing this and how to fix the problem?

I’m planning on switching from Ubuntu 7.04 to Linux Mint 4.0 and I’ve tried out the mint live cd and everything else is running fine. The restricted drivers manager has the atheros driver for my D-Link DWL-G510 rev. B card enabled just like in ubuntu but it says the device isn’t enabled, also in the network manager only the wired connection for my nic card appears. I need to be able to enable my wireless card before I install Mint.
