http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello I am a newbie to linux. This kid I work with has Ubuntu installed and his sound card drivers were working and then he did a system update and now his card isn't working..it works about 50/50 of the time. He dual boots with windows 7 and it works on windows seven. I feel like it is a conflicting driver somewhere is there a terminal command I can enter to see if it is trying to ue two drivers. I know I used a command when my wifi wasnt working and it showed that I had two drivers installed. I just can't remember what it was. Any information would be greatly appreciated Thank you!

I have a Linksys Wireless G PCI adapter with drivers for Windows downloaded. I have tried this method: cd /home/username/Desktop/filename/Drivers (With the correct information, of course)

I then received an error saying No such file or directory when the drivers are on the desktop. I have partitioned the hard drive, so I have xp and Ubuntu 12.04.

I am very new to Ubuntu and PC building. I just built my first PC as well, it is around the ASUS P8Z68-VLX mobo. In the tutorials I have seen they talk about installing drivers for the chipset, sound, video card, etc.; it seems though that drivers are already installed on Ubuntu and each of the sites for my mobo and video card only work with Windows.

I'm new to Linux and just installed Ubuntu last night as a dual boot with Windows 7. When I first installed it using USB the WiFi worked. Then I figured out how to use the Software Updater and updated it, downloading about 200 MB of updates.

Then the WiFi stopped working. For the record, I've seen numerous threads about this same topic and have tried basically everything they have said to try.

Hi Guys,

I am running the latest version Ubuntu and I have installed a new sound card. Its a Creative X-Fi Xtreme Audio. After the install I rebooted and everything worked perfectly.

I have a new HP Envy dv6-7315tx laptop. I installed Ubuntu 12.10 (64 bit), which went smoothly after switching the BIOS to legacy mode, and has completely replaced Windows. However, there are no proprietary drivers listed in jockey at all, and the WiFi/bluetooth card doesn't work.

Hello, I just installed ubuntu 9.10 last night, and I am trying to get sound to work, but it isn't working :(.

When I install the recommended drivers, even the latest from their ppa, on reboot, xwindows won't start, it just boots to a console login.

If I purge nvidia and reboot, it works with the builtin ubuntu drivers, even 3D, but system reports the experience as 'standard' using driver Gallium 0.4 on NV92 .

I would like to get nvidia drivers working to see if it performs better.

I'm new with Linux. I was hoping someone could help me out. I've been trying to get my wifi to work. I'm using an RTL8187 card. The card doesn't work with Ubuntu 12.10, BT4, BT3, or Fedora 13. However it works with Windows just fine, with no driver installation necessary. In Linux, it can pick up the wireless networks in the area.
