Valtam, Looking at the txt file would it matter that it is "guest" she is using in the virtual box? I mean is there a user name for that?

Just a thought.

No, 3.16 kernel and vb don't play well together in this instance. 3.15 works just fine with vb.

Remove the 3.16 kernel with:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get remove linux-headers-linuxlite-3.16.0 linux-image-linuxlite-3.16.0
Reboot then try the 3.15 with:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-linuxlite-3.15.0 linux-image-linuxlite-3.15.0

I attached it here (Sorry, i should have post it yesterday, but i didn't have much time).

P.s: meanwhile, i discovered my internet key's correct model name is "Olivetti Olicard 300" (i'll change it in the title).

Can you please paste the contents of: /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-guest/4.3.10/build/make.log in your next post. Thank you.

Unfortunately this is what happen trying to install a new kernel :

Code: [Select]

Setting up linux-headers-linuxlite-3.16.0 (0010) ...
Examining /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d.
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms 3.16.0-linuxlite /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-linuxlite
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.16.0-linuxlite (i686)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-guest/4.3.10/build/make.log for more information.


[Jerry]

Only thing I can think of is to try a newer kernel:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-linuxlite-3.16.0 linux-image-linuxlite-3.16.0 -y

Hi eveyone, i've recently bought a mobile broadband adapter, the model is "olivetti 21.1"
First i tried to setup the adapter using the native network manager, i added a new connection and i choosed "mobile broadband" as type.
In the next dialog window,(note that i'm not able to choose the device i want to use to create a connection), i go to the next steps then i complete every step till the end of setup but my usb adapter doesn' connect. (The light on the usb is green which means the sim and the signal are ok).


As second try, i've googled for something similar to my problem and someone seemed to fix the issue unistalling modemmanager, (so did i) and using sakis 3g, but i can't connect even with it, as after settin up modem and choosing the interface #2 the program prints out "modem respondend ERROR while checking for PIN"






When i plug in the usb adapter the OS doesn't mount it and apparently it's not possible to do it, so i'm thinking the problem is linked to this. Here i post my lsusb output:

Can anyone help me? I've just discovered linux lite and i love it, i don't want to use another OS just to make this usb adapter work.
