maybe that 'something else' is needed? probably not as just pciutils should work..

in the mean time im gonna go search around (google.com, google.com/linux, here @ lq.org) for keywords like 'lspci' 'no output' or something similar.. i recommend doing the same until someone else can shed some light on us.

if after searching for awhile you dont find any results that worked, i suggest making a specific thread for your lspci issue in the 'software' forum.

I think the something else was (along the lines of):

linux-wlan-something(sorry!) and under 'description' said 'utilities for wireless prism cards'.

try removing the pciutils package from Synaptic and reinstalling. use 'su -' then the 'lspci' command again to see if it works (or displays any output).

ill be watching the other thread you make as id like to know the reason.

sorry i keep posting stuff (because you have to reboot each time), or do you? maybe your network connection isnt working in ubuntu? we should have fixed that first!

what is the output of 'ls -l /usr/bin/lspci'? what id be focusing on is the filesize and permissions of the file. also try and run 'lspci --version' to see if it prints what version your running. does 'man lspci' display the man page of lspci?

when you make your other thread try and give the others background information so they dont suggest things youve already tried, ie post: the 'ls -l /usr/bin/lspci' output, 'lspci --version' output, and 'uname -a' output.

heehee yeah I do. But no need to apologise! It's just great to have some advice.
I can't get online in Ubuntu no, as I can't detect the modem (it's usb - I've heard it's a bit tricky to set up but I'm sure I'll muddle my way through the instructions on the Ubuntu site once I get to that stage. I've had a good look at what to do and downloaded the firmware etc).

Okay your other questions:


The reinstallation didn't change anything. I get the same output from su - /usr/etcetc, which is (I think I didn't post this before):

unknown id: /usr/bin/lspci


The output of ls -l /usr/bin/lspci:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23688 2006-01-30 10:10 /usr/bin/lspci


And the version:

2.1.11


The man page comes up ok fine, yes.

Ok don't worry, I'll stick it all in there for them to wade through

sorry, you were supposed to 'su -' [enter], type root password [enter], '/usr/bin/lspci' [enter]. but this probably wont work un ubuntu, because there is no 'root' user by default, i believe.

since it is installed and the man page is being displayed, same with the installed version.. then try other options, ie 'lspci -n', 'lspci -vv', 'lspci -x', 'lspci -b'.

also look around in /proc/bus/pci and post any information you find in the files it has.

can you tell us or point us to the documentation for your motherboard?

The 'installed version' column conatined info for all but the third from last.
When I looked at pciutils' properties I saw /bin/lspci there. Umm... just mentioning it incase it's relevant. I really have a clue don't I?!
