[SOLVED] not sure where i'm going wrong with broadcom-wl drivers...
so I have this really old laptop (hp dv2310 I think is the exact number) that I thought would be cool to throw arch on.
Which of course, it is.
the problem of course is the awful freakin' driver the broadcom wireless card needs. Let me preface by saying I'm somewhat new to linux
ok, so, I found this post http://zeroincrement.wordpress.com/2009 … -linux-os/ and followed the directions to the end. it seemed like a good solution considering that was the driver that https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless said I needed.
But after I insmod wl.ko and blacklisted b43 and ssb (as per a notice I found after I makepkg) my wlan0 dissapeared from iwconfig..
/FACEPALM
Does anyone have experience with this card? please help me out. this whole thing is really getting me down lol. honestly I don't know where to go from here. I was already waaay over my head as it was lol, but it's a laptop...I can't be tethered down to a desk...i'd rather use my desktop.

Sorry, I was not clear. You have version 14 which is greater than 13, so you should be good to go.
Now, just:
change to a working directory of your choice. Then:
wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/b43-firmware/b43-firmware.tar.gz
tar -xvf b43-firmware.tar.gz
cd b43-firmware
makepkg
sudo pacman -U b43-firmware-4.178.10.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Here is how it looks on my system. Of course, you will answer 'y' to the install question instead of my 'n'

We don't know. You didn't tell us what those settings are. However, if you contact your email provider, Blueyonder, they should be able to help you. Check their website where they may even have information on how to configure Mail for their site.

I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?
To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step. -
JSP default error page - not sure where this goes
So I am not sure where the jsp section of the forums is but Ill post here ....
Any ways I dont like the look and feel of the current default error page when you throw an error on a jsp so i created my own cutom error page and set that as isErrorPage="true" then in the header.jsp I placed errorPage="error.jsp."
It doesnt work.
I have a jsp, a servlet and the error page. the jsp sends information to the servlet which sends the result back. if that servlet throws an error then it should be displayed on the error.jsp page where I told it to...How ever - it just goes to the default error page.
How do I fix this.
Sorry if this doesn't belong here not sure where else to put it. and in theory - it is java.user8974754 wrote:
Yes its shown in the jSP. so how do I make the servlet be like "oh...thats the error page I want to display the error on"I'm pretty sure you can't, since it's a JSP mechanism, not a Servlet mechanism.
And even if it was possible, it's not something that could be recommended.
A normal way would be to catch the exceptions in your servlet and handle them there (log the exception and redirect to an error page). -
I am trying to print redplum coupons and I can't, help. I have updated java, adobe flash, and made sure my printer was set on default. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have contacted redplum and no one will help.
No Apple response??? Redplum/Valassis will not help either. I searched, using the cups error message and though it is Unbuntu, same error so maybe useful...only problem: details would not display unless I join Unbuntu forum. What a pain to do anything with my Mac or find any help. I honestly regret buying this buggy OS.
Anyway, here is what I found, FYI:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=483415
As the old saying goes: when in doubt, consult the manual. The problem appears to be that I added the printer using the KDE Add Printer Wizard. It was automatically given a "socket" URI instead of an "lpd" one. When I:
- altered the printer settings at http://localhost:631 (the CUPS admin page) as instructed in the manual for the printer, and
- copied the PPD file into a second place on the hard drive (as instructed on ubunutuforums, see the link above)
..everything started working.
It's still slower than windows, but I can live with that
Probably a simple fix. Change the socket I.P. to match the printer I.P. like this:
socket://192.168.1.86:9100. The thing I'm concerned with using socket:// is that AFAIK the printer I.P. must not change. In my case I'm able to assign a static I.P. address to the printer but it's something to consider.
I found that the only thing I needed to do was change socket to lpd (and remove :9100 off the end as well). See Solving Ubuntu printer broken pipe problem (DocuPrint C525A) . BTW thanks for steering me in the right direction - very grateful.
Solving Ubuntu printer “broken pipe” problem (DocuPrint C525A)
Posted on November 25, 2008
Are you having a problem with your printer under the latest versions of Ubuntu (perhaps it worked under an older version)? Are you able to print short documents, but not longer, or more graphics-intensive, documents? (e.g. the unfortunate people at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=625493). Do they sit there as Processing for ages and then switch to Held? If you have the same problem I had the solution I tried may work for you too. Firstly, check your cups error log:
sudo gedit /var/log/cups/error_log
If you see anything like the following, the solution may be simple:
[Job 201] Unable to write print data: Broken pipe
PID 13359 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/socket) stopped with status 1!
System > Administration > Printing and right click on your printer, selecting Properties. Settings > Device URI
If you see something like socket://your_printer_ip_address:9100 just change socket to lpd and remove the :9100 off the end. Then click on apply.
Apparently lpd is a more modern protocol which works with most printers whereas socket is more raw (and potentially faster but riskier in a network situation). Somewhere along the line, the default Ubuntu/Gnome setup for networked printers shifted from lpd to socket. Some primitive printers will have benefited whereas a larger number of more modern printers will have suffered.
Please correct me if I am wrong (which is highly possible) but the underlying problem could be that socket may make the printer wait a long time for a large file to be processed ready for printing. Some printers, such as the Fuji Xerox DocuPrint C525A, may drop the socket if things take too long to start coming through.
Changing timeout settings might work but lpd is better than socket so it is the preferred solution in any case.
If this works for you, please leave a comment to let others know (ideally with a description of the printer and Ubuntu version). Printer may be relevant if it doesn’t support the direct stream protocol properly. NB I may take a while to let your comment through because of the volume of spam. Sorry about that.
Finally, thanks to sphilli8 for the steer in the right direction at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6245626.

Making a simple calc applet. Where am I going wrong?
Hi everyone. I'm taking a introductory java class over the summer and so far I've been doing pretty good in it. I've been able to knock out and figure out how to do most of the assignments on my own. But this latest problem is driving me up a wall. I think I might be making it more difficult then it is. I'm supposed to a take a simple calculation program, and then convert it into an applet with new button functionality and text fields. In the applet, there will be two text fields(input and result) and two buttons(Update and Reset). In the first field you put in an operator and a number. Then from there you hit the Update button and the new value is put in the second field.
For example. The program is defaulted to "0". So you put "+ 9" in the first field, then Hit Update. "9" will now appear in the second field. Go back to the first field and put in "- 3", hit update again and now the second field will go to "6." You can keep doing this all you want. Then when you want to start all over again you hit reset. Its sort of a weird program.
Here's the original calc program:
import java.util.Scanner;
Simple line-oriented calculator program. The class
can also be used to create other calculator programs.
public class Calculator
private double result;
private double precision = 0.0001; // Numbers this close to zero are
// treated as if equal to zero.
public static void main(String[] args)
Calculator clerk = new Calculator( );
try
System.out.println("Calculator is on.");
System.out.print("Format of each line: ");
System.out.println("operator space number");
System.out.println("For example: + 3");
System.out.println("To end, enter the letter e.");
clerk.doCalculation();
catch(UnknownOpException e)
clerk.handleUnknownOpException(e);
catch(DivideByZeroException e)
clerk.handleDivideByZeroException(e);
System.out.println("The final result is " +
clerk.getResult( ));
System.out.println("Calculator program ending.");
public Calculator( )
result = 0;
public void reset( )
result = 0;
public void setResult(double newResult)
result = newResult;
public double getResult( )
return result;
The heart of a calculator. This does not give
instructions. Input errors throw exceptions.
public void doCalculation( ) throws DivideByZeroException,

Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
boolean done = false;
result = 0;
System.out.println("result = " + result);
while (!done)

if ((nextOp == 'e') || (nextOp == 'E'))
done = true;
else
double nextNumber = keyboard.nextDouble( );
result = evaluate(nextOp, result, nextNumber);
System.out.println("result " + nextOp + " " +
nextNumber + " = " + result);
System.out.println("updated result = " + result);

}I'm not getting any compiling errors or anything and it launches, but it doesn't work at all. I'm sure it has something to do with the calc program and the applet actionevent. I just don't know where to go from there. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? Or even make sense of what I've posted. I know its a lot. I've been looking at this thing for a day now and its killing me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.This is a mistake

PLEASE HELP! I AM STUCK..NOT SURE WHAT I AM DOING WRONG! ARGHHHHHH!
Hello,
I am a beginner, only recently started Java a couple of weeks ago. For an assignment at uni, I need to create a simple program which allows the user to enter a row number, 5 7, or 9, and depending on the number of row they select, display the letter H and U. (hope that makes sense).
We need to use several different types of techniques, selection, interaction, loops and methods. I have used all four techniques, but would like to improve the use of the techniques available. One way for me to do this is using a method, i.e. void print_h(), to let the reader know that this piece of code prints the letter h. I've put this method in, above my switch method, but for some reason displays a blank screen. Is this because I have closed the main method? or because I have written the method in correctly?
I would really reallty appreciate any help...I need to hand this in this week..been working on it a few days now, and I really don't know where I am going wrong.
import javax.swing.*;
public class cw
public static void main (String args [])
String t_row;
int row;
t_row=JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter row number (5, 7 or 9)");
row=Integer.parseInt(t_row);
}//i need to close the main method as if I don't I get illegal start of expression error
void print_h(int row) //i think the error is here, it needs to take the user input from the main method and use it here
switch (row)
case 5:
for (int i=0; i<2; i++)
print_x(2);
print_line(3);
for (int i=0;i<2;i++)
print_x(2);
break;
case 7:
for(int i=0; i<3;i++)
print_x(3);
print_line(4);
for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
print_x(3);
break;
case 9:
for(int i=0; i<4;i++)
print_x(4);
print_line(5);
for (int i=0;i<4;i++)
print_x(4);
break;
default: JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "Invalid Value, Please try again");
break;
void print_u(int row)
System.out.println(" ");
switch (row)
case 5:
for (int i=0; i<4; i++)
print_x(2);
print_line(3);
break;
case 7:
for(int i=0; i<6;i++)
print_x(3);
print_line(4);
break;
case 9:
for(int i=0; i<8;i++)
print_x(4);
print_line(5);
break;
default: JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "Invalid Value, Please try again");
break;
public static void print_x(int no_spaces)
System.out.print("x");
for (int i=0; i<no_spaces; i++)
System.out.print(" ");
System.out.println("x");
public static void print_line(int l)
for(int i=0; i<l; i++)
System.out.print("x");
System.out.println("x");
Here is my codeMany thanks for that..but I am not quite sure what you
mean...apologies..i am really new at this...this is
what I think you mean...
public static void main (String args [])
String t_row;
int row;
t_row=JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter
row number (5, 7 or 9)");
row=Integer.parseInt(t_row);
print_h();//call print method here?
this doesn't work still...? any ideas?Do this :
t_row=JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter row number (5, 7 or 9)");
row=Integer.parseInt(t_row);
print_h();//call print method here? YES but with an argument as demonstrated below
print_h(row); Hope this clarifies things for you... -
Sometimes my iphone 5S produces low sound even on full volume level. Then i do restart it. But i am not sure where exactly the problem is? Need help.
Hi saiyed adil,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It appears that your iPhone 5s sometimes produces low sound, but a restart corrects it.
It can take some time to isolate and resolve intermittent issues like this one, and I'd recommend going through the steps in this guide the next time it occurs:
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
All the best,

My husband and I have 3G smartphones and we can get on them on ours, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Also, my other daughter has the same phone and has no trouble getting on these sites either. Any information to help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Well, did you activate this new phone?

I have an iPhone 4 and a 4th gen iPod linked to the same email address and apple ID. I am trying to change the email address on the iPod so a family member can use it but when I do it says it doesn't recognize the email address. Where am I going wrong ? I just want them to be able to iMessage and email without having to use my email address.
The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

I cancelled a payment through PayPal. How do I update the payment for that charge? I looked at my payment information and it has my credit card information. I'm not sure where to update the payment that was associated with my PayPal account? I am not sure what that paid for? I am trying to process updates on my IPhone & IPad for apps. I have already downloaded.
Hi Xellana, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I'm looking for information and pricing on possibly upgrading the processor from the PowerPC to Intel.
While anything is possible if you had enough money... NOPE, you can't change the CPUs to Intel, nor can you get any faster PPC upgrades for it. It'd be far cheaper to buy a new IntelMac than to replace everything inside the G5, and I mean just about everything, then figure out how to machine the case & such to mount Intel Logic Board, Graphic Card & such.
Sorry. -
I am not sure where to put this but I would like individual tones for all my email accounts
Wonderful suggestion.

External hard drive, sharing, itunes? Not sure where to post this?
sorry guys but i'm not sure where this belongs, but anyway. I just bought my macbook and purchased a Western Digital harddrive ( external ) anyway I have like 80gigs of pics and music and want to get it from my iPod back onto the computer. Not a problem............My problem is that I can't put it directly onto the external drive I first need to put it on the macbook then transfer it to the externak hardrive. When I do this is winds up on my mac HD and also on my external hardrive. I only want it in one place. Ok, my ultimate goal right now is to buy an iMac which I'm doing this weekend. Got rid of my PC's ( Go Apple !) LOL. I want to put all my music ,videos,pics, movies on the external hardrive and be able to share it with both my Macbook and my imac. I simply want to be able to access my everything from both pc's but get it all from the EHD. Right now it's all on my macbook and I want to free up the space, plus learn how to do it for the future. Sorry to ramble. So far I've posted a few times and someone always comes through. Everyone here is awesome, it's like another planet compared to the PC world.
thanks

macbook Mac OS X (10.4.9) HP DesktopPut your iTunes folder on the eternal hard drive, and make a alias to it from your home directory on the MacBook (Cmd-L). Do the same when you get the iMac.
I didn't quite get how the two computers are sharing the hard drive, or maybe you'll put the hard drive on the iMac and share the library. There's a lot of ways to make this work. You made a good decision. -

I am contemplating replacing my old Ipod with a 8gb touch which supposedly holds up to 1760 songs. In my ITunes library the average size of a 12 song album is 300mb which means I can get 27 albums x 12 songs is 324 songs. Where am I going wrong here?
There is about 6.9 GBs of free space on an 8 GB Touch for data storage. That translates to roughly 23 of your average albums.
Holds up to 1760 songs is based on the size of an average track which is about 3 to 4 MBs, whereas your albums have tracks averaging more like 25 MBs per track. I sort of doubt your average album holds what would be about 5 hours.
