Debian Configuration :: Unable To Connect To Channels 12 And 13 Even After Changing WiFi Regional Settings
Sep 18, 2015
I have a Dell 1505E with Debian 3.16.7 which is unable to connect to channels 12 and 13 even after changing wifi regional settings to different countries (using iw reg set).12 and 13 are legal to use in the UK. What should I do?
I did a netinstall earlier today (latest version, amd64) on my Dell XPS laptop and ended up with a minimal installation because I couldn't connect to the internet. Now I'm trying to get online without a desktop environment.
I have an Intel Centrino 1030, so I downloaded and installed the firmware [URL].... with a usb, then rebooted. My searches have turned up a lot of instructions involving a utility called iwconfig and wpasuppliant, but these are apparently not installed. I don't really know much about it, but my /etc/network/interfaces file looks rather empty:
Code: Select all# The loopback interface  auto lo  iface lo inet loopback
Shouldn't there be something like wlan0 there? The network card does show up with lspci
I bought a USB wireless adapter for my desktop. I finally got it to partially work using firmware-ralink as described [URL]sing network manager it will pick up my wireless network. However it will not connect to it.
The output of iwconfig is wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"familyfarm" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:1C:DF:B6:EA:B9
I just freshly installed Jessie on my Dell Inspiron 5110, I configured the network on the installer and had no problem. I can browse the web, get updates and install software.
But I can't find new networks. It just show "No Networks".
lspci -vnn Code: Select all09:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1030 [Rainbow Peak] [8086:008a] (rev 34) Â Â Subsystem: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1030 BGN [8086:5325] Â Â Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 55 Â Â Memory at f7e00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
I am currently using Debian Lenny and am having problems with my pptp vpn client. I can use the following software for as long as I like without my pptp vpn connection dropping out: (1) iceweasel (2) icedove (3) gtk-gnutella
If a use a bittorrent client, however, my pptp vpn connection drops out within a few minutes. I have tried these bittorrent clients: transmission, deluge, tixati. Enabling or disabling the firewall makes no difference.I have searched pptpclient.sourceforge.net and Debian User Forums but have not been able to find any suggestions on settings to change in a bittorrent client.
I've been having a problem with Bluetooth on Debian 8 Jessie i just can't connect to any bluetooth device, i have only tested my smartphone and my bluetooth headphones, i am using blueman manager.After attempting to connect to my bluetooth headphones/smartphone it just disconnects and says "Connection Failed: No such file or directory",i don't know if i have to create a config file or something, the error message doesn't say anything but the error previously mentioned.
Recently upgraded my PC and my WiFi Hotspot connection is refusing to connect. Running a dmesg returns this
Code: Select all[66529.184299] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready [66530.762594] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
And the IPv6 configuration in the Hotspot is Ignore
I am using Empathy IM client to access to gadu gadu and to message with my friends. The strange thing that is happening is that I keep on being connected and then disconnected and then connected again even if I am continuously connected to my internet connection (no problem when surfing or using skype for example)It also seems to come only from me because when my girlfriend is using the same gadu gadu on her windows laptop simultaneously, she doesn´t get disconnected (whether when she is at home and using the same connection as I am or when she is outside, meaning that it doesn´t seem to come from the whole gadu gadu network)maybe it has something to do with the ports that gadu gadu is using but it is strange that sometimes it is working for a period of time and then not and then again.
I have a Dell E6500 laptop (1280x800 screen), which I frequently dock.The dock as two Dell 1908FP 20" monitors connected by DVI. I can move between the laptop display and the twins by manually changing display configuration in NVIDIA X Server settings, but this is a pain requiring about 15 clicks each time.
I have tried using the "Save to X Configuration File" option in the Nvidia server settings, but this seems to screw everything up. I need to dynamically change between the setups... anyone have advice on getting that done?Can the xorg.conf file be configured to do it?My xorg.conf looks like this:
we're running an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS network on our company, authenticating against an Openldap/heimdal-kerberos server.Previously, the clients were authenticating against a Windows 2003 Domain without any problems.After modifying the krb.conf, ldap.conf, nsswitch.conf and nscd.conf files to authenticate the machines against the openldap/heimdal setup, we started experiencing strange problems.
One issue is, for example, the polkit-agent-gnome not starting. This component integrates policykit into gnome. It looks like the agent is unable to start due to some kind of delay with DBUS. Starting the agent manually keeps giving errors until about 70 seconds after login, when the agent can be started without problems. During the delay it is also impossible, for instance, to open the "shut down" menu on the top right of gnome. You can click on the menu, but nothing appears.Trying to start the polkit-agent manually gives these errors (I'll be attaching detailed errors when at work!):
Code:
DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken
GLIB ERROR ** default - Not enough memory to set up DBusConnection for use with GLib It really looks like DBus or something related to it is starting "too late" but I can't seem to find the reason. I'm pretty sure this has to do with some timings or whatever in the krb/ldap config files...
I am not sure where to post that so I'll just try here.My main question is: How can I prevent the system from changing my cpufreq settings? I'd like to keep the CPU load as low as possible so these settings are probably the best.However when I run some applications that require a higher CPU load the system changes the governor to performance and the rang to 0.8 - 2.4 GHz.And that's my problem. I neither know what application exactly is responsible for changing my cpufreq settings nor do I know how to turn that off.Or is it supposed to be that way?
if there is a simple wifi scanner for Linux. I need only basic information such as access points in the neighbourhood, signal strength and their broadcasting channels. I want to know the broadcasting channels in order to set my modem in such a way to avoid interference.
I have a Dell 500 laptop and it doesnt have WiFi and earlier when I used Windows, I bought a Belkin Enchanced Wireless USB Adapter to enable to connect to my home WiFi station and it worked perfectly.And then I instaled Ubuntu and when tried to instal Belkin I saw that it is Windows only!how to make it work on Ubuntu, cause I really like it but I can't "live" without WiFi.
I have a compaq presario. I cannot connect my wifi. The indicator won't light up and I just get an error message sayin network is down on interface pppo. There seems to be some abswers out ther, but they are more advanced than I am.
recently installed ubuntu 9.10 on my HP pavalion DV4 laptop all the things are working fine except wireless connection. I am unable to connect to the wifi network.
I should be able to access xfinitywifi hotspots. /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. I don't want to use NetworkManager for this connection.> iw dev wlan0 scan
is everytime i reboot , my keyboard is reset to USA. im in canada & it pisses me off each time i need to change it also.all my options on EMESENE is the same issue always RESET.it's like if nothing keeps the changes once rebooted.
I've installed RPMforge and Smart Package Manager.
I had to create my own Centos 5.5 channels to sync yum repos and smart channels.
Here's the Centos 5.5 channel file for Smart:
Just shut Smart PM down, copy this file into /etc/smart/channels, and restart smart.
Smart should then detect the new channels (repos) for Centos 5.5
Update your channels in Smart, and you should then have yum repos and smart channels both in sync, looking at the same set of packages.
Copy this to CentOS-Base.channel, and add it to the /etc/smart/channels directory.
# CentOS-Base.repo # # The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the # update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
have setup proftpd via gadmin, all is well and is activated.This is where im being stupid - what setting do i use in my ftp prog (filezilla)??
host: ive put my ip address (77.xx.xxx.xx) user name and password
However, i have a number of computers on my network, obviously when i try to ftp into my server how does it know which one to connect to? or is this not required.i need to get this working within the next few hours, or ill be in do-dos.
I have a Dell Mini 10v with a fresh install of latest Ubuntu Netbook Edition. I have enabled proprietary drivers in order to get the WiFi card to work and managed to connect at home, starbucks etc. Good stuff.
For some reason I can detect but not connect to the WiFi at work - I get prompted for the pword and after entering it the WiFi indicater will pulse for a while only to return to the pword prompt. yes, I have the right pword and can connect my iPhone and other laptops. I am really puzzled by this and really need to get on the WiFi at work - wired connection works.
my colleague has the same dell model with windows 7 installed and is able to connect fine - I really don't want that @@@@ installed just to get WiFi. I know password entry error is the obvious solution but I connect new windows devices to it routinely and had other people try too.
After removing a hard drive I (thought I)wasn't using, GRUB failed to load(turns out stage1 was on that drive) and it refused to install to a new drive(even after I kexec'd into the system - which was fun, considering the LiveCD used a different name for the hard drive). I finally threw in the towel and installed GRUB2, which worked after removing a second, incorrect root=. However, I can't find out how to switch the font from the fugly default to something that doesn't try to gauge my eyes out with a rusty spoon.
I'm having problems when trying to view my web site from inside my firewall and router. The web server works fine and will resolve from IP address on the local network and port forwarding works for external connections. The problem stems from when I orignally setup the server; I left the domain name field blank when going through the installation process.
I've had a look at the man pages and had a search on Google but cannot find an answer that works. I've changed a few things in '/etc/hosts' and '/etc/networks' but when I make changes they have no effect on the problem. My web site is on a no-ip domain which is [URL]..
i'm using redhat enterprise version, i'm facinh problem in wifi. i able to browse internet via ethernet but unable 2 connect via wifi and how to install applications.
I am using Squeeze and all appears OK at first... I have a DHCP lease, PING to router works, apache servering fine in and outside the network, Epiphany seems to connects to default debian.org only, BUT I cannot connect to any other websites and apt will not connect to any servers. I installed once, tried to fix problem, gave up and reinstalled and still have the same problem.
I unistalled Network Manager thinking that was the problem, but still the same issue. Is there a default firewall blocking certain connections or am I missing something I'm supposed to know about? I installed some non-free firmware in the beginning of install and all worked... and I connected fine when downloading packages during install.
My pc is aser aspire 5735z. I have acer nplify 802.11b/g draft-n wlan but i can use wifi on debian what i have to do ? Do i need driver or firmware? how can i solve this problem ?
I know there are many threads regarding this topic.I probably read most of them. At installation time I told Debian to use German keyboard layout (since I am from Germany). Now I want to switch it to American keyboard layout. In X this was no problem. But in the tty consoles I cant get it changed. It does not matter to me if it is system wide or user wide because I am the only user. (system wide would be a little bit more preferrable because it would affect the super user too, I think).I tried dpkg-reconfigure console-data and selecting my desired layout. This changes the Layout to American until reboot
I decided to finally change the grub 1.98 splash image today and found a few tutorials on how to do so. They all pretty much said the same thing. Resize an image to 640 x 480, save it as a .tga, stick it in /boot/grub/images/desktop-base. I did so and opened /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme and changed WALLPAPER="/usr/share/images/desktop-base/moreblue-orbit-grub.{png,tga}" to WALLPAPER="/usr/share/images/desktop-base/56871.{png,tga}". After that I ran update-grub. When it told me the image it found, it said it found desktop-grub. I don't know what I did wrong but it's not finding my image. Like an idiot I forgot to back up the original file but the only thing I changed was that WALLPAPER line, like I said. I had copied that version of the file and pasted it in another document before messing around with different parts of the file to see if I could get it to work. Everything ended in failure so I copied the back up in the other document and simply pasted it over the one I had been tinkering with. However, when I try to update grub I get a syntax error which I didn't before with the exact file I have now. The error reads:
/etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme: 65: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "}")
Here's my grub file.
#!/bin/sh -e . /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib # this allows desktop-base to override our settings f=/usr/share/desktop-base/grub_background.sh
[Code]....
I'm completely lost at this point, both on how to actually change the splash image and why I'm getting a syntax error.
