Nice, I will definately be watching this project closely.
This will definately help bring WZGULIB to prizm, at least make it easier.
Hmm, i wonder how hard it would be to port WZGUILIB to LuaFX...

He has tried to connect via command prompt, since he used dhclient
It's very unusual to see wired networking fail to work on Linux. Maybe you're missing some firmware for that card model, or the driver for that particular, outdated version of Ubuntu has a problem ?
Unless you're into the Unity interface (in which case you should use Ubuntu 12.04, as it's somewhat less immature and less buggy in 12.04 than in 11.10), you may want to use Mint: it's very close to Ubuntu, but the Cinnamon desktop environment offers a desktop which feels like, well, a desktop.
Yes, I am using the unity interface. I have Ubuntu 11.10. However, it looks like my computer may be the problem. I am looking at this right now: http://www.math.ucla.edu/~jimc/documents/optiplex-745.htmlI wasnt sure if he had done so since he had run modprobe
Yeah, I am doing everything from terminal because I uninstalled network manager. EDIT: I am downloading Ubuntu 12.04 to see if it fixes the problem. It seems that 12.04 has been run on Optiplex 745s before. EDIT: If all else fails, I can put arch on it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HCL/Desktops/DellEDIT: I booted the Ubuntu 12.04 LiveCD and it still cannot connect to the internet. I did "modprobe tg3" and it didn't seem to do anything. What should I do?

Looking around I saw somebody had the same problem and saw they needed to run
modprobe bnx2maybe try that if not I found a driver selection page here http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/downloaddrivers.php looking at them the each have a linux driver
Yeah, mine uses the tg3 driver. So I would do modprobe tg3
and then what?

modprobe just loads the module so the computer can use it. It does not run it(I believe)
What you might want to do is try to get an updated version of the driver's .deb installer from a comp with internet and install it with dpkg
As I said, Windows is able to cnnect to the internet. Unfortunately, I cannot find the linux tg3 driver on the internet in .deb format. Maybe it comes with Ubuntu? How can i check to see if i have it installed? And then, how do I make Ubuntu use it?

I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my Dell Optiplex 745 today. I could not connect to the internet with the LiveCD, but I installed it anyway. It still doesn't work. This is the first time linux has been installed on this computer. Windows XP connects with no problem.
I have a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller.
I have tried removing Network Manager and using dhclient but it doesn't work either.
I also tried
modprobe tg3and then
dhclient eth0The last command runs forever. I dont know if thats good or bad. when i do
ping google.com or try to open a page with firefox, i get a connection error.

I don't know, maybe i am not running tg3 correctly?
When i run modprobe tg3, it does not run forever. It just finishes with no output. Like this:
# modprobe tg3
# _ dhclient loops forever though. Is that OK?

Hmmm... why does it say "nspire/prizm" when there are no prizm projects?
This is the place for you to vote for your favourite of the 6 Nspire/Prizm (although we didn't actually receive any Prizm entries) category entries, which are:
It's said in the first post !  No Prizm entry.. 
That doesn't explain why it is called nspire/prizm. It only explains what i already said, that there are no prizm entries.
Mmh ok, I think that's just in order to keep the original name of the categorize, who was given before we know the actual entries..
Oh ok.

Ah, I see. I was thinking in like an EPUB type format...
Someone should make an EPUB reader for calcs...

« on: July 06, 2012, 10:58:18 am »
How does one read ebooks on a calc anyway?
With a text reader. Most of the time you can get the ebook in plain text format

I have a device for reading, otherwise I might try reading on my Nspire.
I dont have a device, thats why i use my prizm
