Realtek 8111e Vs. Precise
Posted by: MR ZenWiz in Ubuntu-Users on March 4th, 2013
I picked up a new motherboard last Friday, an MSI 970A-G46, that has the noted LAN controller on board, and when I first brought it up it ran flawlessly. Saturday morning I replaced one of my DVD writers and my secondary hard disk, and the LAN died. I thought it was the hardware, since it was working before the power cycle, but I got an exchange yesterday afternoon and it has the same problem.
I found this writeup on the problem, http://www.twm-kd.com/linux/realtek-rtl81688111e-and-ubuntu-linux/, so I figured that would be it, but….
1. The write-up says the problem is fixed in Precise, which is what I run.
2. The link to the Realtek site where the driver should be downloadable, http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown
Virtualising A Physical Machine
Posted by: Karl Auer in Ubuntu-Users on March 1st, 2013
I have a physical server that I am trying to virtualise. I’ve googled my little eyeballs out, and have managed to get this far:
- gparted to squeeze the server partition down to about 10GB
- gparted to move the partition to the front of the disk
- dd to take an image of the first 11GB of the disk
- sfdisk to clean up the partition table
- kpartx to set up a loopback device for the partition
- mounted the partition on loopback and fixed up fstab
- checked the mounted partition, everything looks good
At this point, the disk image is pretty much perfect 
BUT – it locks on booting in VirtualBox, the instant grub tries to boot the disk. The various boot stanzas in grub’s menu.lst mention UUIDs that are still correct, all the kernels are still there in the image, the architecture is still correct (i386, not ARM or anything) – in short, everything is still where it should be, because this is after all an image of the original disk.
What else is there that could cause such an immediate, complete failure?
Any hints welcomed, especially from someone who has actually tried – or even succeeded! – in virtualising a physical machine.
Regards, K.
Run Personalized Service On Machine Startup
Posted by: Adam Tong in Ubuntu-Users on March 1st, 2013
Hi,
I created a daemon, and configured it to be run as a service (named
“myservice”).
Now I want to launch this new service when the machine starts up.
I tried the following:
sudo update-rc.d myservice defaults
and
sudo update-rc.d myservice defaults 98 02
But it did not work.
Can you help?
Thanks

Ndiswrapper
Posted by: Thufir in Ubuntu-Users on February 28th, 2013
I don’t have internet access at the moment. I’ve glanced over https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper and see that the general idea is to install ndiswrapper and then the binary from, for instance, the install cd for the wifi adapter?
I can download the .deb package from:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/i386/ndiswrapper-utils-1.9/download
is that correct?
thanks,

Issue Booting System After Kernel Update
Posted by: Wes James in Ubuntu-Users on February 28th, 2013
I think it was a kernel update that has caused this, but I can’t get it fixed.
I’ve tried:
sudo grub-update
and
sudo grub-install –recheck /dev/sda
and
sudo grub-install –force /dev/sda
and
sudo apt-get install –reinstall grub2
and the system still boots to the grub menu, but it just sits there. I can manually select a kernel and boot.
Any ideas on how to fix this.
Thanks,
Wes

Ubuntu 12.10 Installation Problems
Posted by: lazer100 in Ubuntu-Users on February 28th, 2013
I have tried to install Ubuntu 12.10, the 32 bit Desktop,
and the DVD doesnt function.
I get total chaos on the screen, with the text “Ubuntu”
just about discernible.
then later I get a static image of chaos, then a blank screen, then static image of chaos etc,
no opportunity is given to say supply boot options,
looks like both 12.10 and 12.04.2 dont function on this PC,
Ubuntu 8.10 functions on this same machine,
I think this hasnt been betatested properly
Ubuntu 12.04.2 Long Term Maintenance Installation Problems
Posted by: lazer100 in Ubuntu-Users on February 27th, 2013
I tried installing the Ubuntu 12.04.2 long term maintenance version
(32 bit desktop) from the links at ubuntu.com
the CD malfunctioned.
so I made another one, this also malfunctioned.
I downloaded the iso again in case the download was corrupted, but this second download was identical to the original download.
so unless there is something wrong with the CD drive, this CD doesnt function.
there was no intro screen, and the screen kept glitching continually, I waited quite a while without any coherent screen,
is there any way to know if the resulting CD is not corrupted?
meanwhile I’ll try to install the main Ubuntu 12.10 version,
