The sensors-detect output ends with a message that no sensors were found. It didn't find an accessible temperature sensor in your laptop. This is rather common in laptops where fanspeed is usually handled automatically. Did you already try updating your BIOS? No I have not done that yet but will lo...

I have partial success with the fan problem. I had installed i8kutils program but did not under stand how to use it. After doing more research I found that i have to load the proper kernel module. I am able to start the fan but it only runs at one speed. I still have some more reading to do but I am...

Bump!

I have tried to turn on the cooling fan for my laptop with no succes. Here is the output of sensors detect. kevin@mayabox ~ $ sudo sensors-detect [sudo] password for kevin: # sensors-detect revision 5984 (2011-07-10 21:22:53 +0200) # System: Dell Computer Corporation Latitude D800 (laptop) # Board: ...

Currently running LMDE which is very nice but it does not play nice with my intel pro wireless 2200bg wifi card and dell latitude d800 laptop. S o I thought I would give Maya cinnamin 32 bit. I was not able to start it. All I could get to was a blue screen and a mouse pointer. I then downloaded the ...

I give up! It has been a week and no more help. I am going install go try xubuntu because I know that will work with my wireless dongle. I was able to to get it to work with the live cd after installing ndiswrapper. Linux mint has some great distros but If I cannot get online it does me no good. I w...

bump again

"Bump"

Okay, I started over from scratch. I removed the drivers and network connection that I made. I then installed the drivers again and received this error. Now I am stumped. I do not remember seeing that error when I installed the drivers the first time.

Booted cold dongle unplugged, logged in, plugged in dongle, and ran the commands you asked for. Here are the out puts form those commands. kevin@lmdexbox ~ $ dmesg | tail -n 30 [ 15.769217] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).

Yes that is from a cold boot with the dongle plugged in. Here is a screen shot after a cold boot dongle plugged in. Ran mintwifi again and it does not show up. i opened win wireless drivers and it says it is present.

I know the dongle is fine it works with LM10.

I have installed linux mint xfce 201104 32-bit. So far I cannot get my wireless usb dongle to work. It is a netgear WPN11. I have installed the drivers with the windows wireless drivers and setup the network connection. I think it is something simple that i am missing. Thanks for any help, kelean.

Anybody can help me recompile the kernel from an unconfigured kernel?? EDIT (12/4/2010): Well this is a great forum - post a problem, no response and you'll find the solution yourself. Kernel configuration here refers to my grub set-up - no problem there Might be a good idea to start a new post wit...

I have found out that I can boot from a usb stick. I cannot believe how much faster mint runs off a usb drive that a cd. I have used UNetbootin to install mint debian on my usb. Next step is to install it as soon as I decide what distro to remove Since you Dell can boot from USB stick, you may now ...

wayne128 my bios is set up to boot from usb. I had tried it a long time ago and I could never figure out how to make it work. After doing some research I had read that some dell's had a bug that would not allow booting from a usb. So after my last post I have been doing more research and found I mig...

My computer is a few years old as I bought it used. I have a dell opti-plex 280 P4 3.0 GHz. The burner is in another used dell. I do not have another burner to check. I have not had any problems burning ISO files. As for installing from a usb. Do I have to boot from the usb then install or is there ...

I have tried to install mint 10 four times now all without success. I have burned two different cd's from different download sites. The md5sum was correct. I burned them using k3b at the slowest speed. I did the check cd after booting the cd one failed the other passed. I can run the livecd without ...

Thank you very much. It fixed the problem. I know it was not serious but damned annoying.

Thanks again, Kelean.
