Error with Speedtouch install - Ubuntu

[KitCh]

I know that there are loads of topics on here and I HAVE searched the forums for help, but nothing seems to. I have a script which i'm using to install my Speedtouch 330 Silver USB modem. The script run perfectly, I entered my VPI/VCI number and my username and password to connect to my ISP. However, when it goes to configure the driver, it gives me an error on line 271 i believe. Any ideas as to what this error is pointing too? Oh and i'm using Ubuntu 5.04.

The files that I'm using can be found at http://speedtouchconf.sourceforge.net/

Thanks, KitCh

Fixed the problem. When I was checking through the error file I noticed that the error was with the file 'configure'. So investigating this I realised that I hadn't made the file executable. Once I did this, the file run perfectly and I'm now online with linux! w00 w00

Congrats!

Devices designed for use in Windows can be difficult at times. Glad yours went fairly smoothly (once you got the chmod +x thing out of the way) ;)

Question for you: How would I upgrade Firefox to 1.5 ?

[markwolfe Veteran]

I have never used Ubuntu, but I think that when you do an update, it should be included. The only exception would be if it hasn't been updated in the Ubuntu repositories yet. Not sure if there are extra repos that might contain Firefox 1.5

If desperate, you can download and install from the Mozilla site, but this would be outside of your package manager, and therefore not available to be updated automatically.

Have you tried updating your entire system yet?

[KitCh]

Yeh, I've updated and i'm now currently @ 28% of upgrading the distro and I managed to work that out with a little help from the intraweb. Linux is alot easier when you have the net, everything you want to know/need to know you can find on the net! Oh and for the record, I might be in this section alot in the next few days/weeks so be prepared :p

Yeh gnome is really slow, thats why i'm upgrading my distro to Breezy. I also got the drivers and that too work after, read the above posts! Thanks anyways though :D

[tOta]

Im also fixing things, one by one.

Dont forget to check the guide and the forums ;)

So how are you fixing gnome? I was wondering any speed tweaks?

Maybe we should change the WM to PWM or something like that...

[KitCh]

Well I only installed Hoary yesterday so i'm not too sure what you mean by "Maybe we should change the WM to PWM or something like that..."

Well i'm not 'fixing' anything at the moment i'm just upgrading to Ubuntu Breezy and once this is complete i'll start with the tweaking and that. :yes:

[ViperSnake]

Tweaking and that? If you want to tweak; choose a faster desktop!

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xfce4

Or.....

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fluxbox

Well, in Linux, the GUI is independent of the OS. You can run all the same apps in Gnome (Ubuntu's default) that you can in KDE, IceWM, PWM, e17, Fluxbox, etc.

So, if you aren't quite happy with the performance or features of oen WM, you can just change.

Just downloading xfce...
