In days gone by, I used to be a Technical manager at an OEM. We supplied not only Computers and computer equipment, but also TVs. A TV came back from a client under warranty, and I had one of my repair technicians open it. However, before opening it, it had that roach faeces smell, so we all gathered around the TV with bug-spray in hand. The technician opened the lid slightly and they (roaches) started scattering and we started spraying. We immediately closed the TV, wrapped it in plastic and I had to tell the customer that warranty was void. As per our warranty statement. The customer was a furniture store, so I had to call the end-user. However, the end-user exploded with: “Are you saying my house is dirty!!?? | In days gone by, I used to be a Technical manager at an OEM.

- | A: I have a suspicion that your card is somehow off, as the D-link cards do support Linux. You need to open a terminal with CTRL+ALT+T , then type: rfkill list all - Then, under the wireless adapter, look to see if ‘soft blocked’ or ‘hard blocked’ says ‘yes’. If this is the case, you need to turn the card on. The other option is that the WiFi card is not seated properly in the slot. Turn off the PC, remove the WiFi card and insert it into another slot. (Slots can also become damaged, though very rarely) | + | |

Bien que je n'aime pas les PPA, vous pourriez disposer là des mêmes fonctionnalités avec des mises à jour. Vous pourriez même construire les logiciels que vous cherchez et même avec une version plus récente que celle chez « rpm-fusion ». Les paquets sur lesquels vous avez utilisé alien ne reçoivent ni mises à jour, ni correctifs, et leur fonctionnement n'est pas garanti. | ||

A: The problem is an update, but not on Ubuntu side. It is a Windows 7 update that broke it. Currently (at the time of writing) there is no fix as even a restore to December 2018 does not fix it. Some have reported success with creating another account on the Windows 7 PCs, and creating new share,s and some with uninstalling the updates and using password shares. Keep your eye on Reddit for a fix. You can also try enabling the administrator account on windows 7, give it a password, and connect to your shares with the administrator account. Rolling back to December 2018 and Admin account worked for me with printers scanning to shares. Some have reported success by using IP addresses instead of names. | A: The problem is an update, but not on Ubuntu side. It is a Windows 7 update that broke it.
