[SOLVED] iwl3945: no wifi connexion even after copy
Hi,
[SOLVED]: yeah .. ..digging a bit deeper into this forums thread relevant to wifi connection, i got a look into my pdiagxxxx.tar.gz files (see attachments below) comparing the dmesg.txt files:
- the pdiagxxxx_before.tar.gz's dmesg.txt reports that the iwl3945 module was well installed ...then not an ounce of problem !
- at the contrary, the pdiagxxxx_after.tar.gz's dmesg.txt reports iwl3945 module to have problems...
WHAT I DID: i then suspected that my session could have been somewhat corrupted; and then got a try on a fresh wheezy-3.5.2.11 install ...and bingo ! : wlan0 working + wifi could connect OK.
ORIGINAL POST hereafter
here on Dell620 latitude:
- wifi runs OOTB using raring-3.9.9.2
but
- wifi connexion reported as impossible on wheezy-3.5.2.11
I browse across this thread and found several relevant posts: as also a fix: copy the relevant module (i.e. iwl3945.ko) from
/lib/modules/3.5.2-dpup/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/
to
/lib/modules/firmware/iwlegacy/
and ... no success !
here are the pdiagxxxx.tar.gz
«_before» copy to /lib/modules/firmware/iwlegacy/;
and
«_after» copy to /lib/modules/firmware/iwlegacy/;
maybe i have done something wrong ..?
thanks for any advice
Cheers, Charlie

[SOLVED]Re: faded or washed-out police characters
Solved by building the right Nvidia driver ...:charlie6 wrote:Hi,
having Wheezy-3.5.2.11 running like a charm ...
On a PC with an oldNvidia chip + nouveau driver (see report-video comment), ichip
just got somewhat «faded» or «washed-out» police characters inside text-entry dialog boxes and inside Geany...blablibla
- here my Nvidia card is GeForce2 MX200 with integrated GPU
- I found at www.nvidia.com this Legacy GeForce2 driver:
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.23-pkg1.run
and
- applied forum member shinobar's latest getnvidia-1.0.pet (...! just care having enough memory (i.e.>300MB) left in personal save file ...) and bingo: driver installed and pet and sfs file generated
-if someone needs it, i might upload the pet somewhere...just ask
Thanks shino !

Hello don570 and charlie6,
As you have said, the nv driver does not appear to be included in Dpup Wheezy. Normally the xorg drivers are in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers although in some Pups the nv driver is placed in /usr/lib/x/drivers-alternate to avoid a clash (?). The modesetting driver is in that location in Wheezy.
I downloaded the nv driver source and it compiles without any problems if anyone wants to include it. I think it can be placed in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers with all the others. The xorgwizard seems to handle everything OK. The only nvidia card I have here is the GeForce FX5200 which in fact gives missing graphics with the nouveau driver.
This is perhaps one reason why it might be nice to have a more recent kernel in Dpup Wheezy at some point in the future.
Anyway, with my nvidia card the modesetting driver works OK. With nouveau you have to use the noaccel=1 boot parameter. The vesa driver and the nv driver then also both work although you have to reboot to activate them and the nv gives a slight sideways displacement but you can adjust the monitor easily to compensate.
In most cases the best thing to do is install the nvidia driver and really the nv driver is surplus to requirements, but it is easy to add it if you feel you really need to.

Hi OscarTalks,
many thanks for your suggestion !
assuming the driver you have built is for FX5200, it could be the 325.15 one which drives only 6XXX and FX5xxx Nvidia card types.
MX cards need another driver according to Nvidia support lists.
Maybe others could be interested.
Cheers, Charlie

Use this option to boot:GeForce FX5200 which in fact gives missing graphics with the nouveau driver.
Code: Select all
nouveau.noaccel=1
I got a FX5200 and it works also in my Precise Derivative.title Wheezy 3.5.2.1 (RAM)
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /Wheezy3521/initrd.gz
kernel /Wheezy3521/vmlinuz psubdir=Wheezy3521 pmedia=atahd pfix=ram,fsck nouveau.noaccel=1
initrd /Wheezy3521/initrd.gz

Hi,
subject: my post on previous page.
there wasn't any problem with wheezy-3.5.2.11 ... just my whezzysave file perhaps somewhat corrupted.
Lot of apologizes ...
Cheers

Here running wheezy-3.5.2.11 with a GeForce MX200 Nvidia card + nouveau module loaded; and booting from an USBflash key, editing the syslinux.cfg file asRSH wrote:...nouveau.noaccel=1
did the trick !syslinux.cfg content wrote:default vmlinuz initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=usbflash pfix=fsck nouveau.noaccel=1

VLC in Wheezy?
Is there a way to get VLC in Wheezy?
I cannot seem to find it: not in the package manager, and I cannot find a right .pet

You also need:
http://smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_packages ... -4.8.2.sfs
They also work for Precise.
And thanks so much to Pemasu for providing them.

VLC does not work
@Bruno
Sorry, I forgot to say you have to install a dependency first.
If you try to run from terminal you get this:
VLC should work immediately after installing libc6_2.15-ubuntu10_i386.pet ↓.
You don't have to run it from terminal, you can even set it as default, see Menu > Setup > Default Application Chooser.
Sorry, I forgot to say you have to install a dependency first.
If you try to run from terminal you get this:
Code: Select all
# vlc
vlc: /lib/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /usr/lib/libvlccore.so.5)
#
