setting up a network adapter on ubuntu - networking

Hi I am new to the networking domain.
I have recently bought a WLAN 11n USB adapter by a company named GMYLE.
I had difficulties setting up the same on my ubuntu environment.
The driver cd provided has instructions for installing it on ubuntu but I am finding the installation using command line really confusing.
I tried the GUI method myself.
I went to System->Administration->network tools but the device is not being listed out there?
Is there any specific reason for this?
Please help.
Is there an easier way (GUI method) which could help me in setting up the network adapter on my machine?
Any help would be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks.

While this is off-topic, here's something to help you:
The chipset the device uses is probably RTL8192cu. You can download the drivere here.
You can read about how to install it here and here.

Failed to connect to 192.168.99.100 port 8888: Timed out

I've been getting this Error which has made me unable to use some certain commands on my computer like pip,easy_install,even commit on github and gitbucket and this started when I tried using docker but it gave me issues. Please what can I do to fix this problem?
I had to reinstall windows on my computer to resolve this problem. I think windows could really be a pain in the neck for developers especially those using GNU languages

How to update arduino wifi shield firmware?

I am having trouble following the procedure on the Arduino website to update the wifi shield firmware. Here's the link.
The outlined procedure is hard for me to follow, including what files to download from Github and where to store them on my computer.
I then am unsure of exactly what to enter in the command prompt.
Also, the error I was getting in the command prompt is when Opening Port- Fail could not open USB device
This would make me think that I need drivers or something, but nowhere I searched has said this.
I have done lots of searching and I can't find any good tutorials on how to upgrade the wifi shield firmware on a windows computer.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!

I finally figured out how to upgrade the firmware and I documented the process. However, I am unsure of how to post the process that I saved as a pdf and Word document.
1)Make sure that you're connected directly to the shield alone. Do not mount it on anything.
2)Make sure the right driver is installed for the shield. For windows, the driver comes with "Flip". You can find them inside the installed directory.

Testing openstack services on devstack

I have successfully installed devstack on my machine and I get the horizon dashboard. Now, I don't know what to do with it?? I am suppsed to test the OpenStack Services. I wonder if I should install swift (The same question for Nova and Glance) or it is already done? If I have to install it, could anyone help me with a good tutorial. Fianlly, Could I install it through the dashboard?
Thanks.
Seems like repeat of this question https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/9707/testing-devstack/

Setting Pydev to use with Openstack

I am currently looking into OpenStack and want to know about the development environment that I could use for debugging different issues that arise when I run it on my VM. By development environment I am referring to the IDE that can help me understand the functioning and call flow of OpenStack. I have Pydev installed with Eclipse on my machine but I don't know how to run all the Openstack dameons (nova-api,nova-compute,nova-network, glance-api etc.) together in Pydev.
Any help would be much appreciated.
(P.S: I am trying to avoid pdb for now, as Pydev would allow me to see the code and my location in it more conveniently...)
I'm not familiar with OpenStack, but if you could use pdb, you could definitely use the PyDev remote debugger the same way: http://pydev.org/manual_adv_remote_debugger.html
Looks like this question got asked on the OpenStack dev mailing list too on the thread [OpenStack] Development/Debugging where there are some answers.

Get BlackBerry simulator to print to command line/console

I would like to have the BlackBerry simulator print to console so that I can debug with out an IDE. I do all my development from Linux with bb-ant-tools and have the emulator running on windows (on a separate computer). I don't have eclipse or the jde on windows, just the emulator.
--edit 02/28/10
After much searching it appears I need to connect to the simulator to jdb and to do that I need to find the default JDWP port or how to change it with out the JDE's JDWP application. I am looking at possibly port 8000, I hope it isn't randomly assigned.
--edit 03/02/10
Correction, the JDWP application is required as it is what you connect the jdb to by jdb -connect com.sun.jdi.SocketAttach:hostname=host,port=8000 but output is placed in output tab of JDWP making it very unlikely that it can print to a console and be done without the JDE. I would very much like to be proven wrong though.
A couple of things, not sure they will be very helpful.
jdb IS a command line tool, so you should be able to get console out that way.
For Linux, you can use the Barry tools that give you the jdwp as bjdwp command, then you should be able to use jdb
Also, you can get the Simulator to work on Linux by using Wine. I am able to run both the Barry tools and the Simulator on my mac.
I hate writting up such a short not detailed enough answer, but hopefully this will help someone else who will have time to provide more details.
PS: Sorry about no http:// but it seems that I am such a newbie I can't put more than one link on my answer.
