Chimnya, what have you got there?

Code: Select all

lspci -nn | grep Network > ~/1wifi.txt
lspci -nn | grep Multimedia > ~/1audio.txt

One @ a time now, then copy and paste their contents from your "user's" folder.

the wifi.txt file shows following text
"06:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01)"
and audio.txt file shows nothing.
i also tried video.txt but it also shows nothing

[Semme]

Dump lspci on its own, then weed out the audio.

Sorry, FD uses..

Code: Select all

lspci -nn | grep Audio

Don't know how to copy'n paste?

Code: Select all

lspci -nn | grep Audio > ~/2audio.txt

">" is a simple redirector.. Taking standard output and "piping" it.. In this example >> to file.

Hi chimnya,

I am quite new to Linux so I may be wrong.
But while waiting for Semme...
Take a look at http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=97276]
And post if you have missing firmware.

Thanks.

my dmseg code output gives following
[ 8.905417] bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for brcm/BCM43142A0-0a5c-21d7.hcd failed with error -2

Because I've been short on time these days....

Look here for sound >> http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/di ... sound.html

Using these numbers >> [8086:160c].. This site should tell you something about your card.

Here's your wifi >> https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/use ... ]=bcm43142

Does the wizard "see" your device?

Include whether you've perused Jedi's page..

Chimnya, I came across a thread that sounds like it would work. I checked FD-700 and the required modules appear in place. What I need to know from you is which are loading during a typical boot and how you're running FD from USB.

For the modules ([L]smod), run these consecutively then attach the created gzip file with your reply.

Code: Select all

lsmod > ~/modules.txt
gzip ~/modules.txt

For how FD's booting.. Is it a Grub menu you see when FD boots?

If you open ROX <your file manager> and tap the green up arrow till you're in / or "system root," is there a "boot" folder?

Are you able to boot FD "live" as in, "Yes, I have burned a bootable image of FD"?

For how FD's booting.. Is it a Grub menu you see when FD boots?

i always run fd 701 from bootable usb(which i have created from Fatdog64-701.iso file in unetbootin). when desktop appears i remove my usb. when i want to switch to windows8, i simply reboot the laptop. i first see a blue screen and then fd loads......
p.s. just now i am not using save file mode in fd701, but i have used it and if my problems were solved i will definitely use save file


If you open ROX <your file manager> and tap the green up arrow till you're in / or "system root," is there a "boot" folder?

no there is no boot folder when i press green up arrow till i am in system root
