Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn released

[MkII]

Anyone know if the new wireless setup is still problematic - I put it on my PC which always just works with the onboard wireless, with the beta of 7.04 I can't get it to work at all

[indiegirl]

I've had problems with wireless too. It detects my onboard wireless (which is an old b style). However, although it detects and uses my 3com pcmcia card - it then proceeds to 'drop' the card every time it boots up, and happily forgets that I've disabled the onboard wireless!

try installing the Ndisgtk package

I completed a seamlessly uneventful upgrade on my laptop (P3 450mhz xubuntu) this morning. no issues, wireless is fine. theres even an 'update distribution' button for edgy>feisty.

vmware broke on my kbuntu upgrade. It's just the kernel modules though so I can work it out. A job for Monday.

[CyberNerd]

from memory you need to do

  sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

then re-run vmware-config.pl

[Geoff]

Yes I know. The compilation of the modules fails when I run vmware-config.pl. I've also tried apt-getting 'vmware-server-kernel-modules' and insmoding them manually without success.

Try this

 

Worked for me

 

Step 1 (Installing the modules from repository)

$ sudo apt-get install vmware-server-kernel-modules

 

Step 2 (Installing VMware Server)

$ tar -xzf VMware-server-1.0.1-29996.tar.gz

$ cd vmware-server-distrib/

$ ./vmware-install.pl

 

Step 3 (Make VMware Server Daemon work with Feisty modules)

$ sudo sed -i -e "s/\/sbin\/insmod -s -f \"\/lib\/modules\/\`uname -r\`\/misc\/\$1.o\"/modprobe -s -f \$1/" /etc/init.d/vmware

 

Step 4 (Make the configure script ignore the configure of a new module)

$ sudo sed -i -e "s/sub configure_module {/sub configure_module {\n return 'yes';/" /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl

 

Step 5 (Reconfigure)

$ sudo vmware-config.pl

 

Step 6(Restarting the application)

$ sudo /etc/init.d/vmware restart

try installing the Ndisgtk package

 

Mmm, I appear to be up and running despite the ndis installation not going smoothly. However, and I don't know if anyone else suffers with this; my wireless connection randomly drops, but reconnects almost immediately.

 

Otherwise, things are running smooth, fine and all happy

[Geoff]

Thanks for that linescanner, vmware is working here now.

No Probs.

Hmm I dont think anything satanic related would go down well at my Catholic High School

[CyberNerd]

The Christian Edition may be a better bet

[ChrisH]

The Christian Edition may be a better bet

 

Yeah maybe

[MkII]

I notice the atanic [E]dition is on the latest version and the [C]hristian [E]dition is still only on Edgy. There's a joke there somewhere

 

Ah right, SE is just a theme. "We recommend you install this over Ubuntu Christian Edition" lol

[MkII]

..and we mustn't leave out UbuntuME - no not Millenium Edition - Muslim Edition!
