For those asking, 'What's the best version of Linux'

I like to say RHEL because its commercial...that means you get support, updates and people are serious about it.

no problem. if you need me to clarify anything ask away

Wow! Guess what I'm using to write this! Ubuntu! It worked! Thank you both so much

One (new >.<) problem I am having is that when I turn it on it goes straight to the shell, no login screen, no graphics what-so-ever... To get the graphics to load I have to press esc before anything loads and select 'Recovery Mode' then it takes about 15 minutes but eventually works... Any ideas as to where I might have gone wrong or how I can think fix it?

While I'm on the subject of my Linux problem, , For the first few minutes that Ubuntu is running the buffer is messed up or something, as it repeats the key I pressed like ten times, unless I type really slowly... Again any help with this would be very welcome .

im not sure what ubuntu uses to log in. i know debian uses gdm so im guessing ubuntu does as well if so then im guessing something is wrong with that. as for your seccond problem im not sure im quite understanding. could you clarify please?

what he's saying is that when he types, if he doesn't type at an extremely slow rate then when he presses the 'a' key, ubuntu outputs: aaaaaaaaaa, or if he typed the word 'cat' he may get ccccccccccaaaaaaaaaatttttttttt

that would be quite annoying, but i have NO clue why it would be doing that. nor have i ever encountered that. lol


when was the last time you did a system / gnome | kde | xorg update?

Lol it was very annoying indeed, but both those problem don't matter anymore as I reinstalled Ubuntu and everything is fine now . Works everytime .

well thats good. lol


i still dont really like ubuntu...

one question are you using a multimedia keyboard. if so it could have had a glitch and gotten the wrong driver and had it output a huge number of letters. just a thought

thats true i didnt think of that. for some reason my wireless usb keyboard constantly is sending some type of input and it only really affects the console.

Nah the computer with the problem is a crappy old Toshiba laptop. It's probably just out-dated or something >.<.

i see. well thanks Enjoi_Panda_Man im gonna start working on the problem in a little bit

forgot to mention that the files you have to modify to load ndiswrapper on boot and have your wlan0 be primary might be different or in a different location. not entirely sure but i think this might be the case.

I have a project on simulating performance of the EDCF protocol used in 802.11e norme.
After implementing this norme and running an exemple there are some errors like type mac inconnu.
After that i have ommited all instructions concerning base station BS in my script, the error is segmentation error.
Without this step i can not progress please help me

i would help you but i have no idea as to what the hell you're talking about. you should make a new post for this so more people can see your problem.

You need to take the YTRSA and integrate it with the KGDF. The YTRSA will allow your to set your MAC which can then communicate with your base station.

If this sounds like a bunch of BS, it's because it is. Go create a NEW post asking your question properly, but before you do you need to gather pertinent information like what language your script is in, what platform it runs on, what you're using for a base station and how you're connecting to your network device. It might also help to post it in the correct forum {my guess is that this has nothing - or very little - to do with Linux}
