Built-in firewall? There's no firewall enabled by default in Ubuntu, IMO.

Hello people

Sorry in advance if someone has already answered this, but I haven't find any
Its about Broadcomm wireless on Ubuntu, but please read through fully, since its not about firmware or anything like installing the driver. Different matter.

OK so here's my problem. I have a laptop, Acer Aspire 3623 which has a bcm43xx wifi module. I installed Ubuntu 7.04 on it. After installing I used synaptic package manager to get "bcm43xx-fwcutter". Once that was done, its gave me an option to fetch and install firmware automatically, and so I went along. It fetched the firmware from the net, auto installed it, and then I could see the wireless networks on my system.

Now this is whats giving me headache. I can see the networks, but can't connect to any. The only network I can connect to is my home network (with WPA) but any other network, it will just try to connect, and then nothing. Even the once without any security. Even the light on the wireless button will go off.

So can anyone tell me what am I missing here. I believe my wireless module is working since it was flawless on openSuSE 10.2. And one more thing, the nm-applet asks me for a password everytime I boot up Ubuntu, when it detects my WPA wireless network. Isn't there a way to automate this so it doesn't asks for a password everytime. Sorry for all this, I'm still a noob in linux world

I've installed ubuntu and using whole hdd as its main partition. After installed, how to check how many free space my disc still have? I tried right-click Filesystem-Properties but the capacity showed unknown.

Simply right-clicking Filesystem and choosing properties will not give the result. What you need to do is double-click the Filesystem, and once you're in there, then you right-click within that window and choose properties. Hope that answers your question

thanks! now i can see my freespace..

erm, is there any partition manager inside ubuntu? i saw 1 during booting live cd but after installed ubuntu, no more..

btw, have anyone tried VMWare before?

gparted is the partition manager software that you are searching for.

I have USB Wireless Dongle Aztech WL230USB and in my kuBuntu 7.04 no drivers for it. I google for this but could not find any answers. Hopefully can get solution here, guys?

if possible, dont use automatix. Use the synaptic packet manager.

Install the package ntfs-config. running the ntfs-config program will help you mount and read/write ntfs partitions automagically using ntfs-3g.



Why would you want to use gcc3 when there is version 4 or later?

Because some older programs wont compile when you use the latest version of gcc.

Cheers

currently i'm using ubuntu feisty on VMWare..

but i got problem for my 2nd virtual hdd. It doesnt mount automatically when boot. Already flag 'boot' and 'lba' for that hdd... what should i do? hdd format in fat32.

You add user passwd into samba edi did u? & the user already exist? $smbpasswd -a user

BTW how bout public sharing?(without username passwd) is it ok?

there's no option to set pass or not.. am i getting wrong samba? i only got option to choose either SMB or NFS...
