Bring Ubuntu To LIFE!...please
 

Hello All,

Recently I was forced to upgrade to a new motherboard. OK, that came
with a disk for installing the XP drivers. XP does all that it usually does.


Ubuntu was installed from within Windows, but that disk didn't "do"
anything for it. It works fine, but it doesn't see the network and can't
get online. We're running 10.04.4, and if the solution is to use the
disk for recovery, at what point should the disk engage - when the boot
choice is made in GRUB?


Thanks-in-advance,
Mischa

Not sure what you mean. Are you trying to boot off the CD? In which
case it should never get to the grub boot options as it should boot
directly from the CD without accessing the hard disc at all. Check in
the BIOS to make sure that you have boot from CD as the first option
(or at least above boot from hard disc).

Sorry for the misunderstanding...

The boot process is fine. In GRUB I have the choice for either OS.

The question is, in order for Ubuntu to work, ie. get online, it "needs
to know" - just like Windows did - that there is new hardware.


Should I just use the Recovery/Rescue option in GRUB to do this, or
something else?

It should work it out for itself generally, unless you have unusual
hardware. Are you running a proper dual boot system or running wubi?
Are you trying to connect by wire or wifi?

Hello,

This sounds like a software-related issue. You might try upgrading to a newer release, and see if that works. It might sound strange now, but sometimes simply upgrading to a newer release works. It may also be that drivers are not installed for your modem. You might try either upgrading to a newer Ubuntu release, maybe newer Ubuntu releases either support your modem or automatically install them, or you could try manually searching for drivers online, and installing them that way. Either way you do it, you will still need to upgrade Ubuntu after support is dropped for 10.04.

Ahh, but I was trying to hold-out until at least 5/13 ;-)

Currently downloading 12.04LTS on another machine so I can burn the .iso
to disk.

It does not "need to know" like Windows, it can automatically figure it
out. In Linux, with a few exceptions for proprietary drivers, supported
hardware works. If it is supported by your kernel, the kernel should
detect and use it.


What version of kernel are you running? If it really is 10.04 and kernel
2.6.32, you should know that the kernel was released in December 2009.
I'm assuming your new motherboard is probably far newer than December
2009, therefore you might need to look at using an updated kernel or
Ubuntu release to have the drivers for your new hardware.

Why wubi?? You're installing Linux to a foreign/hostile filesystem and
most likely virus protection will consider it a virus. Very few people
use it. If you upgrade Windows you'll blow it all up to bits and most
likely lose everything you created with Linux. There must be a user list
for wubi out there somewhere. I doubt you will find many answers here.
If you had problems related to installing Linux on it's own partition,
did you turn off "Boot Protection" in your bios?? Your bios could see
grub's attempts to write to the boot sector as a "virus" and stop it
dead in it's tracks. Ric
