Can't get dlink dwa-125 usb wireless dongle to work

Hi, I'm installing arch on my parents PC.  I want them to try linux out but I've got a couple problems. 
1)  Firstly I can't get our dlink dwa-125 dongle to work.  I checked aur out and saw that there was a package for a kernel driver, but it wouldn't install.  So I got stuck there, I wasn't able to figure out how to compile the module myself.  I tried downloading the source code from ralink  http://eng.ralinktech.com.tw/support.php?s=2 .  The version I require is for the rt3070. 
2) I can't get the webcam to work in skype, it's a quickcam pro 5000.  The camera works fine in luvcview and cheese, when I click on test in skype the camera led turns on but no picture, when I double click to get fullscreen it's just grey. I followed the guide here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Webcam_Setup  and I tried
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
before starting skype but it didn't help.
Hope someone can help me get these two things running then my parents won't have a reason to keep starting windows.

1) you need to blacklist the rt3070 drivers. maybe this helps: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1289917
good luck

  • My mac has10.5.8 and should be compatible with new HP officejet pro 8600.  I can't get it to install for wireless, nor to work with USB cable.  Have tried downloading HP install directly from HP and it still doesn't work.

    I just bought a new HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 printer.  I have been unable to download the installation for wireless connection even though have had the assistance of Costco tech, HP tech and some advice from Apple.  Because the system is MacOs 10.5.8 the error says it is incompatible, even though the product lists compatiblilty with 10.5, 10.6.   I was advised 1 option might be to obtain Snow Leopard for installation, however am somewhat reluctant as the bo states 10.5 should work and Snow Leopard is 10.6, which is also listed as compatible.  I am unable to get the printer to work even with USB cable.  Too much time spent on this and I hate to start over with another printer because I'm afraid I might have the same trouble.  Is Snow Leopard something I should get anyway?  Help!

    Snow Leopard has more compatible Java.

    CPU:Celeron 500
    Storage:Hitachi 4g CF
    I have a Sagem XG-703A USB Wireless Dongle plug on
    But I don't know what to do next...
    what I've done:
    1.uninstall ndiswrapper
    2.download firmware http://jbnote.free.fr/prism54usb/data/f … .5.8.0.arm ,and rename it as "isl3887usb_bare" ,copy it into /lib/firmware
    3.add "ndiswrapper" into mod_blacklist and "p54usb" into modules
    4.reboot
    but it doesn't work still

    Well thats a reallt weird problem...
    From what I understood you need ndiswrapper to run the wireless card. Is it posible to do it natively. Its been a while since I've used ndiswrapper but it seems the kernel is already recognising the wireless card. Uninstall ndiswrapper and see if the system does load it manually. Otherwise I would recomend you post this on the ndiswrapper forums.

  • My Finder is going crazy.  Keep getting a message saying it quit unexpectedly and asking if I want to restore windows, but I can't get it to stop.  buttons don't work.

    My Finder is going crazy.  Keep getting a message saying it quit unexpectedly and asking if I want to restore windows, but I can't get it to stop.  buttons don't work.

    Something else you can try.
    In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop. 
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Terminal.
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    You will need to do that after any updates.

  • I always have trouble with my mailbox. It is always asking for my passwords but everything has been verified. How can I get it to stop doing it and start working????

    I always have trouble with my mailbox. It is always asking for my passwords but everything has been verified. How can I get it to stop doing it and start working????

    There is only one thing that happens -- the Server does not respond.
    Your mac concludes that you must have entered the wrong password. That may happen once, but then other issues become more likely, and it keeps asking for a new password.
    Sometimes the Server is down for maintenance. Sometimes something is configured wrong. Some services do this on purpose to get you to use WebMail (pick up your Mail with your Browser) so they can show you some ads.

  • Have had my iPad 2 for 3 months. All of a sudden I can't get on line either with WiFi, which is working with my computer, or via the 3G celluar. What's wrong? How do I fix it?

    I have had my iPad2 for 3 months. All of a sudden I can't get on line with either my WiFi, which works with my Mac, or 3G celluar. A locked icon appears in the upper right corner of my screen near the battery indicator? Apple support tells me to go "Settings" and click "Reset Network." Cannot find a "Reset Network" button. What can I do to get on line?

    Thank you, Sir. You are a genius. I'm now on line and appreciate your help very much. The "reset" button was at the bottom, out of my sight, until I scrolled down as you suggested.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 AirPlay Mirroring is compatible with Mid 2011 and newer MacBooks Air, and OS X Mountain Lion.
    As you have Mac OS X Snow Leopard, you haven't got a compatible MacBook Air, so you can't use AirPlay Mirroring. However, you can use a third-party app as AirParrot to mirror the MacBook onto your Apple TV > http://www.airparrot.com

  • Can't get some LCDS ES Test Drive samples to work in Tomcat

    I can't get many of the Sample Test Drive examples included
    with Livecycle Data Services ES 2.5.1 to work properly with Tomcat
    (both version 5.5.25 and 6.0.14). I've tried both on Windows XP SP2
    and Mac OSX (10.4), but I get the same errors on both platforms. I
    can however get the Sample Test Drive from LCDS to work fine with
    the JRun server on Windows (included with the Windows version of
    LCDS). I've setup the JRun server in a similar fashion as Tomcat
    (see my steps below) and everything works fine. I haven't been as
    successful with Tomcat. Can anyone point out where I'm going wrong
    with my Tomcat setup?
    I am using Java 1.5.0.
    Here are the error messages I get when trying out the LCDS
    Test Drive examples on Tomcat:
    Sample 1 - Accessing data using an HTTP service (after
    pressing the "Get Data" button):

    Samples 2, 6 and 7 work fine.
    Here are the steps I took to setup Tomcat. I've tried this on
    both MacOSX and WinXP:
    1. Download and extract Tomcat from tomcat.apache.org (I've
    tried both version 5.5.25 and 6.0.14)
    2. Install Livecycle Data Services ES 2.5.1 and copy
    flex.war, flex-admin.war and samples.war to [tomcat-root]/webapps/
    3. Prepare tomcat for Livecycle Data Services by following
    the instructions here:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/lcds_installation.html
    3a. Add Java Open Transaction Manager (JOTM) from
    http://jotm.objectweb.org/.
    Copy the JAR files from [jotm-root]/lib to
    [tomcat-root]/common/lib/.
    3b. Create a context file for your web application and
    register JOTM using the Transaction element, e.g. for the samples
    WAR create a [tomcat-root]/conf/Catalina/localhost/samples.xml file
    and add the following lines:
    <Context docBase="${catalina.home}/webapps/samples"
    privileged="true"
    antiResourceLocking="false" antiJARLocking="false">
    <Transaction
    factory="org.objectweb.jotm.UserTransactionFactory"
    jotm.timeout="60"/>
    </Context>
    3c. Increase the maximum memory to at least 512MB. For
    Tomcat, this is achieved by specifying the maximum heap size for
    the JVM in the JAVA_OPTS variable in [tomcat-root]/bin/catalina.sh:
    -Xmx512m
    4. Run the tomcat server ([tomcat-root]/bin/startup.sh for
    Mac OS or [tomcat-root]\bin\startup.bat for WinXP) which extracts
    the 3 .war files into their respective directories in
    [tomcat-root]/webapps/
    5. Goto the Samples Test Drive in your web browser at
    http://localhost:8080/samples/testdrive/

    Thanks Leif,
    Yes, set it to the location jndi path.
    A piece of info is that the 903 oc4j release notes states that global conn pooling doesn't
    work. Infering that the j2ee/home/config/data-sources.xml data sources aren't pooled or ??
    I just tested so called local connection pooling, where I edited the data-sources.xml that
    gets packaged in the ear, to include the min/max params and re-ran my test.
    Still, the AM creates a new conn, it's to a new socket, and closes the conn when done. Causing
    each conn to not be pooled, rather opened then closed to the DB box. As verified with lsof and
    netstat, checking the ephemeral port # on the DB box side, always changes, meaning it's a
    new socket and not an old pooled conn socket.
    ???? What the heck??
    Surely if the AM conn check out / return code works properly, OC4J's pooling JDBC driver would
    pool and not close the socket??
    Has anywone gotten JDBC Datasource connections in BC4J to actually be pooled under OC4J??
    Since I couldn't get this to work in my early 902 oc4j testing, and now can't get it to work
    still under 903 OC4J, either it's my config or BC4J AM's code or OC4J?
    Any thoughts on how to figure out what's not configed correctly or has a bug?
    Thanks, curt

    I can get to both sites in OSX using the wireless card but not in XP. I can also get to both sites using the network card. I think its probably a driver issue but would like somone to try it also. Thanks.

    Hey, pizzapie22!
    In my experience with NoScript, sometimes even if you allow the main site to load JS, some blocked scripts from different domains prevent content from loading.
    Does your NoScript icon have a smaller "No" symbol in its lower-right corner? If it does you may have to allow additional scripts.
    Does this help?
