I'm using a minimal GNOME installation (with packages like xorg, gdm, gnome-core, fast-user-switch-applet, wifi-radar, and network-manager-gnome added in) because this laptop has only a 500 MHz processor and 256 MB of RAM.

My personal wireless card (a Linksys WUSB54GC) works right out of the box in Ubuntu.

However, I haven't been able to get either of the group's wireless cards to work with this laptop and Ubuntu. One is a WPC54GS v1.1, and the other is a WPC54G version 3.1. I need to get at least one of these two wireless cards working and preferably both. (I get the feeling that once I get one working, I won't have much difficulty getting the other to work as well.)

I used ndisgtk (System -> Windows Wireless Drivers) with the Lsbcmnds.inf file (from the zip file containing the drivers for the WPC54G v3.1 that I downloaded from the Linksys web site and then extracted into part of my user directory), but that didn't work. The ndis messages that show up in /var/log/syslog are:

I tried to do the same thing for the WPC54GS v1.1, but I couldn't find the unzip the zip file I downloaded from the Linksys web site.

For some weeks I got a new computer because the old one crashed.
I am using Gramps and since I had made backups or a copy from everything that was important to me I thought there was no problem at all.

As I installed GRAMPS I discovered they had a new database format.

If I want to import the database (GRDB) I get an error something like cannot open /tmp/tmpSly6VR. It seems Gramps makes a copy from the grdb file with this name (or something like this) in /tmp but than it cannot work with this file.

I tried to import as root and as user with the same result.

Did somebody have the same problem and is there a solution ?

Any hint is welcome.

I've done a lot of research, but I'm having trouble understanding the process in detail.

What I've learned so far is this, please correct any assumptions I've made.

After a computer does a POST, the BIOS's instruction code (stored as firmware on the computer's motherboard) is executed. The BIOS transfers execution of the boot process to the computer's bootloader, which is found in the master boot record, or the MBR. To do this, the BIOS checks it settings to determine boot order, and will then check the boot device for the MBR. If it is a hard drive, the BIOS checks for partitions. If only one exists, the MBR is found at the beginning of the drive, or sector 0, and is 512 bytes. If multiple partitions exist, the MBR is found in the partition marked active. The MBR will then transfer execution to the kernel, which on a Linux systems executes init as its first process.

Do I understand the process properly? I get a little confused on the master boot record and the volume boot record. What are the differences? My understanding is that the volume boot record exists on each partition's first 512 bytes, but when it is utilized? Is the active partition's first 512 bytes the MBR?

Please help!

I am running postfix and dovecot on Ubuntu 9.04 and I have pop set-up and working but what I want is to enable authentication on the smtp server because at the moment anyone can connect and send e-mails from it I want to use the same user-names and passwords as are used for the pop3 access and once the smtp is secure I will want to forward any emails not for my local net work 192.168.0.x through my ISP smtp server which needs none encrypted (I have no control over that) user-name and password.

this server is just on my home network not any company so encryption is not absolute necessary.
