Satellite M40-129: PCMCIA Card doesn't work with Linux

I have D-Link DWL-G650 with Atheros Chipset which is good supported under linux (madwifi). But if I boot Linux the card is not found. I tested the card with an Fujitsu Siemens Notebook and it worked out of the box!
Any idea why it doesn't work with my M40-129 ?

Hi
Like you know Toshiba doesnt support the Linux and there are no Toshiba drivers for the Linux OS but I was able to find this useful Toshiba page about the notebook configuration with Linux:

You should check the OS machine compatibility and the other areas.
Im sure you will find many useful tips.
Good luck

Satellite M40-307: Accessibility utility doesn't work with limited user account

Hello everybody,
I have got a Satellite M40-307 (PSM44E), and I have got a problem with the "accessibility" utility, that displays an icon in the Windows XP notification bar, to let the user know whether the "Fn" key is active or not.
That this utility would not work for the administrator would not worry me a lot, as the administrator is supposed to know what he does. But the limited user does not have access to it, this more bothering.
In an administrator session, this utility works pretty fine. But in a limited user session, if I try to launch it by [runas /user:admin "C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\Windows Utilities\TACSPROP.exe"],
I am answered that the file TCMSVR.DLL cannot be found. If I launch it normally, a message tells me that this utility requires I am connected as an administrator.
So, what can I do to use this utility normally, i.e. in a limited user session*?

Hello Markus,
Did you read ?
I executed TACSPROP with the admin rights, and it does not run.
So, to follow you, I had a look, on TACSPROP.EXE and TACSPROP.DLL, the users had "read/execute" and "read" rights. I provided "full rights", and it solved nothing.
Obviously another program must be launched before, that is by default launched only by the administrator, and I am searching what program it is.
Thank you.

Seems RTL8192EE wireless card doesn't work with Linux 3.19

Hi all, I just fresh installed ArchLinux on my new Thinkpad T450s. The installation has been smooth enough. I can use wifi-menu on ArchISO image (which is based on kernel 3.18.6) to get my wifi connected. Everything works great. But when I reboot into the new hard disk installation, the WiFi connection always fails.
I have tried to connect manually via wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd. It didn't show any error information like driver issue or so. The problem I can see is the link is really slow: too slow to get authenticated by router. At a small chance I can connect to the WiFi but then failed to get dhcpcd work. And at a really really small chance I can get an IP from the router but the ping latency to gateway is about seconds, so I cannot visit any service via this network.
This issue happens to Linux 3.19. I have tested on 3.19.2 in core and 3.19.3 in testing.
Is there any of you have the same issue, and is there a solution for this currently?
EDIT: typo

For those using kernel 4.0, the problem is partially gone. The wireless connection doesn't randomly drops and you can always connect correctly but you can get really slow speed, and sometimes all packages are lost.
Installing this new version of the driver solves the problem:
sudo git clone http://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
cd ./rtlwifi_new
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -v rtl8192ee
Yes, rtlwifi_new works for me. I do hope this can be merged into mainline some day.

Ethernet card doesn't work with new arch install?

Hi guys,
so this is kinda my first post, not that I'm new to arch i just never had an issue i couldn't figure out on my own... But i love arch i have been using it for about a year now and have had no serious problems except for this. I have had arch running on an older dell vostro 200 desktop before i reinstalled with a vary similar issue except that the fix i came up with doesn't work anymore. I will tell you about the first issue first because i ALMOST posted on here about it originally but i figured out a way to make it work even though it was a hassle.
After cold/rebooting my computer the network card doesn't work at all. lspci reported that the kernel module e1000e was the correct one (i have verified this) and that the kernel has loaded it, i verified that with dmesg but still it wouldn't work. After much much anguish and hairpulling, I realized that it had to have something to do with the module so i tried forcing it to reload with rmmod e1000e and modprobe e1000e and it still wouldn't work until i physically unpluged the ethernet cord and pluged it back in until the light on the NIC turned on. After that everything works as normal i could even unplug and plug it back in with no problems. So eventually i wrote a script that did this for me (except for the uplugging and plugging part) and i used that when i cold/rebooted.
But now i have the exact same issue after reinstalling arch to the T except for the fact that the (crazy) fix i came up with doesn't work now. I used my "fix" after booting from the arch cd and it worked just like it always has. And now after rebooting into my fresh system the fix doesn't work anymore. So now i'm back where i was to begin with but i have no idea what to try next. I didn't do anything particularly different during installation except i added a udev rule for the e1000e module just to see if somehow that would fix the problem... it didnt and i have since deleted that (to see if it was the problem). The only other thing that is different is the root and home are now btrfs partitions instead of ext4.
I have booted several other live cds and dvds (diferent distros) including arch derivatives such as manjaro and they all worked just fine, using the same kernel module (e1000e). I'm not sure what that could mean but i know that it means there is a fix for this some way or another. I am going to hook up a wifi adapter and connect that computer to the internet to put some more information up if it's needed (asked for) but for now lspci -vnn | grep -i -A 10 net reports

Satellite 2410-413: USB2 PCMCIA card doesn't work

Good morning. It is my first time on a forum, and my English is poor.
I have tried to install a PCMCIA card with 4 USB-2 ports (hw & sw) on my Satellite 2410-413 in order to use a DTV dongle (hw & sw).
It will not work: The ports seem to be declared all right in the computer but in effect, a simple 64 MB USB-2 memory key [a Sony "micro-vault" key), will not work, and neither will the Winfast DTV dongle.
Paradoxically, both the mem key will work on any of the three USB-1 ports, and the DV dongle will light up on any USB-1 port. The PCMCIA card with 4 USB-2 ports is new. I cannot locate the origin of the problem.
Would any one help me with this question?
Thank you in aadvance for your reply. Here is (maybe ?)
Another way of formulating the question: how are USB ports managed by the system?

> Hello Rasta

Many thanks to you Mike30.
I have a couple of ideas now:
- supplying the USB2 card with additional power (ie other power than computer), (but how?)
- uninstalling and further, re-installing the USB2 "Truewin" PCMCIA card bus, and after that trying the "leadtek-brand" DTV sw.
Cheers,
Philippe

MacPro eSata Port/Card doesn't work with new Hard Disk

I just bought 4 x 3TB Hard Disc http://tinyurl.com/d2rglvn (specs of disc)
Which I put in Macally Enclosures to work on my Barracuda internal Hard Drive externally http://tinyurl.com/clg8yjo
I already have like 5 x 1,5 TB that works perfectly well with eSata connections (with exact same enclosures)
**My problem is that my 4 new Hard Discs works really fine with my Mac Pro but only with the USB connections but won't work with the eSata Connection. I tried it on a MacBook Pro with an ATA to eSata adaptor and it works perfectly fine (So my discs are not the problem) **
I am working on a Mac Pro (bought in 2007) - Mac OSX 10,6,8 and this is (I think) the card where I put the eSata :
PCI Card :
pci1095,3132:
Type:    Other Mass Storage Controller
Driver Installed:    Yes
MSI:    No
Bus:    PCI
Slot:    Slot-2
Vendor ID:    0x1095
Device ID:    0x3132
Subsystem Vendor ID:    0x1095
Subsystem ID:    0x3132
Revision ID:    0x0001
Link Width:    x1
Link Speed:    2.5 GT/s
I am kind of new using Mac and its support so what want to know is :
Do I need to update my PCI Card ? If yes how can I do that ?
If not, what can I do to make my disc work ?
My disks are eSata III (6GB/s) is it compatible with my Mac Pro ?
Thank you Very Much for your time

Difference between the disk that works in eSata and those that doesnt is this....
Works : ** 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"
Doesn't Work : **3TB, SATA III (6Gb/s), 3.5", 7200RPM, 64MB
it is probably the problem but i don't know what to do to fix it !

Globe SIM card doesn't work with my iPad

I really desire to use my iPad as my alternate Text messaging gadget but the problem is my Globe micro-SIM doesn't work on it. The name and Signal strength of my Telco, however, do appear on the upper left corner of my iPad. I cannot send text messages from my iPad using my Local service provider (Globe Telecoms Philippines). Any suggested solution to my problem, please...

The micro-SIM on an iPad is used only for internet data connection (web browsing, email, etc.), not SMS or voice.
Depending on what facilities are available to the people with whom you wish to communicate, you might be able to use one of the many internet-based forms of messaging. (For example, iMessage within the Apple ecosystem, AIM, Jabber, or GoogleTalk.)

Satellite A300D-11v - WLan card doesn't work under Win XP

Ive problem. Im looking everywhere and i dont know whats happened.
I have installed XP and Ive problem with WLAN. Before Ive used Vista and was ok :)
I took driver for RTL8187b from
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=1&PFid=1&Level=6& Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#R TL8187B
and tried from official Toshiba website.
In device manager everything is ok, but I cant connect.
This doesnt work:
"The WLan card is from Atheros and not from Realtek! The LAN card is Realtek but not WLan card!
The Atheros driver can be found here:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
Can somebody write me step after step how this fix.
Please help me and sorry for my English :)

>Also can try reinstalling the drivers than appear in this web site, here appear the Atheros Drivers than your notebook need.
Your notebook doesnt support Atheros card but Realtek WLan card.
>In device manager everything is ok, but I cant connect.
As you said the WLan card was recognized properly but you cannot connect.
Why?
Im not sure why but you should firstly check if your WLan router uses the same WLan standard (802.11 A B or G) like the WLan card.
Check the settings!
Then check if the right WLan encryption has been chosen, check if the Mac address was not enabled, check if firewall doesnt affect the WLan connectivity.

Satellite Pro 4600 Wireless card does not work with WIN2K ?

I have a Satellite Pro 4600 with UK dealer installed PA3070U-1MPC wireless card running with Windows 2000
The wireless client manager finds the network of my wireless router and reports the signal is excellent and I see all green bars swhowing.
However I can't mske a connection, in 'connections' the wireless one says 'network cable is disconnected'
the router works ok with other laptops in my house.
I have latest version of Win2K also have downloaded and installed latest versions of client manager and WLAN card driver for win2k from toshiba website.
The 'toshiba support in Turkey' told me 'I need a different driver for Win2K for my wireless card cause the win2K driver on the toshiba website is not for 'this' wireless card'. I have waited for this for 3 weeks now and have been unable to reach the elusive UK Level 3 support who supposedly have this driver. I have seen on the internet the same wireless card is has been sold as a 'made by toshiba' accessory and it says it is compatible with Wim2K
What do I do next please ? Does this run at all with Win2K , is there 'another driver' and so on ?
Thanks

hello
please be more scpecific - what do you mean by 'disconnect the LAN' - I have nothing conneced there anyway ? do you mean 'disable' the LAN even though there is nothing plugged in ? can you please post the exact sequence of this so I can try ir too.
In the meantime my laptop has been to Toshiba for them to sort out at their highest level UK support base. I was hoping my troubles would be over - but no, read below what happened. They are basically saying my win2k is not in order but I had just installed and updated it so right now I haven't a clue what to do next.
START QUOTE of Toshiba Support response:
Sat Pro 4600
Serial No: 31474181G
Windows 2000 SP4 (customers build not recovery CD)
BIOS V1.80 not current therefore updated to V2.60
The notebooks wireless card is functional and has the correct driver installed, it also has the correct and latest version of the Wireless Client Manager. The wireless function appears to see the router but will not connect and obtain an IP address. Irrespective of the settings applied within Internet Explorer or the Wireless client manager you cannot obtain a connection. The customer did not have any Toshiba utilities installed such as, Power Saver, Common Modules, Chipset drivers, network device switch, I therefore installed these missing components and updated the BIOS to the most current revision. However despite this the unit will still not connect to the wireless.
I therefore removed the customers HDD and replaced his HDD with a Toshiba loan HDD with a fresh build that I had created. When using the machine with this build the wireless connected without issue and I was able to browse the internet etc. I placed the customers HDD into our machine and the problem with the wireless was replicated on our machine here, therefore the problem is not with the wireless card or any hardware aspect of the machine, the problem lies with the customer's build of Win 2000. I examined for anything obvious but could not find anything, therefore I'm sending this machine back to customer with the advice that his build needs addressing or he needs to reload Win 2000 his machine.
As you can see from the above comments, the machine performs as per specification with loan HDD and fresh build of Win 2000 installed, the problem is only present with you HDD and build in the machine. In addition to this I have replaced the missing screws on the base of the machine ensuring the machine is structure is maintained.
5 x B16 Screws
1 x B6 Screw

Satellite C70D-A-11T - Sound doesn't work with HDMI

Hello,
I have buy a Satellite C70D-A-11T and pass it on Windows 7 64 bits Home Premium.
I install all the drivers and I haven't any problems.
When I want to connect it to my TV for first time, I discover there is no sound on the TV.
I try to go on the speaker (near the clock of windows), right click, sound, first tab (I think it is "Playback" in english... I have a french Windows) and my device (TV) doesn't appear.
I come back on Toshiba Support website to download the last driver "HDMI Audio driver" for my laptop, I connect the cable, and it appear in the sound properties. I select it as my default device and the sound come right from my TV.
Great !
But when I restart my laptop (with or without the HDMI cable), the TV disappear from the list in the sound properties, the only one solution to recover the sound is to reinstall the HDMI Audio Driver.
If I start the driver installation with the "advanced" option, I have the list of drivers to install and I see all drivers are already installed, but the HDMI Audio Driver will be upgraded... I install it and it work until the next restart.
Could you explain me why the version of the driver don't stay on the system, and how to make it work without reinstall it everyday ?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Stephane

Anybody here ? :(

Logitech wireless mouse doesn't work with Linux 3.10

When I rebooted after updating to the 3.10 kernel my mouse stopped working. The cursor is displayed but it doesn't move. I downgraded back to 3.9.9-1 and it works fine again. As far as I could see it was detecting it in the dmesg output, so I'm not sure of the cause (maybe just a regression in the driver). I've never had any problems with this mouse before.
The mouse is a Logitech M515 connected wirelessly with a Logitech Unifying receiver.
This is the dmesg line (on 3.9.9):

Mine works fine with Logitech Anywhere MX, never noticed any problems. Is this still an issue?
According to the bug report, Logitech Anywhere MX should be broken I guess. If you need any info dumped to figure out why it's working for some, tell me what you need.

( I have a keyboard attached to the same unifying receiver. Paired them up using a windows laptop. Maybe that's the difference? I guess pairing hardware to the receiver using logitech software could theoretically mess with... uhm... magical internal mapping stuff that I have no idea how it works? Ok, I'll stop guessing making things up now , good luck with the bug :3 )

PCI SCSI Doesn't work with GF4 4400

I swapped my old Herc GF2 out for the new MSI GF4 TI4400 card and found out that my PCI SCSI card doesn't work with it in. Swapped back in the GF2 and it works fine, and also works in a diff PC.
Flashed BIOS of my Abit KG7-RAID, no change...
?!

someone suggested this may have to do with a BIOS limitation about how much ROM space can be used for initialization routines such as video BIOS, mobo BIOS, and any other I/O cards such as the SCSI... Apparently most SCSI cards use 64K or so of memory at init and shrink back to like 16K or so....
Going to play with moving the cards around to change the order of initialization and we'll see if any change occurs...

Satellite M40-129 and Win7 Drivers

Hi,
I just installed Win7 on my Toshiba Satellite M40-129. This was a really tough one... Windows refused to finish installation until I deleted pcmcia.sys in the windows system folder.
Now I have the problem that neither my pcmcia cardbus is working nor my SD-card reader. As soon as I ask Win7 to update PCMCIA driver, the computer doesnt start anymore till I again delete pcmcia.sys.
Now my question: I can live with having a not working pcmcia slot, but are there any drivers available for windows 7 and the SD-Cardbus?
Thanks a lot.
Technohead

Hello,
I have windows 7 in my satellite m40-285 (PEntiun M 1.86GHz, 2GB RAM, Ati X300) and it runs smoothly.
The problem with pcmcia.sys is the same with vista you can find in google how to rename it.
The most difficoult was to make the graphic card work well with AERO, I had to install the diver for a Dell and update throw windows.
Good luck!
I don't think the M40 series are too old if you have enough memory and a good CPU and GPU

DELETING APPS
Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle. You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.
You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.
If there is No 'X' on any apps you have Downloaded... then check in Restrictions... Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps = Off / On
If the app is in iTunes, then you delete the app in iTunes (Select the App and Press Delete on your Keyboard). If you then sync with your iDevice, the app will also be deleted from your iDevice.
