Debian Installation :: No Internet Or Sound From The Latest Installation?
Jun 11, 2011
Installed the latest stable of version of debian off of the website (amd64) (DVD version)
When I installed no network card was detected so I just proceeded to install without the internet access.When it booted up I didn't have sound either.So... is there any way to get my internet and sound to work?I have an ASUS P5G41T Motherboard with Atheros Eithernet and Realtek HD sound.
The Debian site says latest netinst images have i686 available. I only see i386, so does debian offer the i686 option during net install? Perhaps I won't see a difference between i386 and i686. 1.00 Ghz Pentium M on IBM thinkpad X40 with intel integrated graphics card
I tried to install the latest version of Debian from a Live USB on my new laptop (UEFI). Everything goes well during installation (EFI partition, grub-efi, etc), but after restart, my computer does not boot into HDD.
How to debug the problem or fix the boot loader. What is the problem in standard installation? and how can I fix the boot loader?
After the latest update of testing, Debian started to reboot at at startup, after just few messages shown (that's all after GRUB choice is made). If I pick up older kernel it boots OK. What should I look for to determine the cause? (I.e. what log etc.).
I have an Asus A52J, my problem is that automute is not working well when I put on my headphones. There's solution for that in latest alsa source but I prefer to install it from repositories, I don't want to get my system dirty with make installs. Is there a way to get alsa packages version 1.0.24 as a package? It is safe and clean to install them from alsa page sources?
It seems as though every time that I want to grab a multi-arch, netinstall ISO from the site (not very often) I have an insane amount of trouble navigating the site and finding what I want. I mean there's no freaking "downloads" section that is split into testing and stable with links to the mirrors and such. I want to grab a multi-arch netinstall of both Lenny 5.0.5 and the latest, frozen Squeeze. I cannot find either. In other words, I'd have to burn six CDs instead of two. Not happening. Can somebody point me to the images that I am seeking?
Using online Debian guide, installed latest nvidia-current, glx etc which seems to be 195.xx Machine boots to GUI but monitor setting menu doesnt respond nor is there an nvidia specific one. xorg.conf shows 'nvidia' driver but I suspect I am still on 'nouveau' since the synapatic package manager doesn't show an nvidia xserver-xorg-video choice.
Second question, any trailheads for using wheezy based drivers (i.e. nvidia's latest 270.xx) with squeeze?
The latest in experimental is 1.1... the stable by upstream is 1.2 and the latest unstable is 1.3. So is there a repository where I can get the latest unstable automatically?
I recently installed Debian using the net install file through USB on my Lenovo z510 laptop. It did not recognize my internet so I continued my installation without it and ended up with a bare bones command prompt version of Debian. So to uninstall it I just deleted the partition and took up the space with Windows 10. So now when I boot into the boot list(uefi) I still see Debian listed, and when I boot into it I see grub-rescue command prompt. Now I downloaded the live Debian ISO and used pendrivelinux to put it on. When I look in my boot list the USB does not appear and USB booting is on + Secure boot is off. What should I do to fix this mess? In the end I want Debian dual-booted with windows 10 with Debian being with the GNOME 3.x desktop environment.
New installation of Squeeze. No Internet. I have googled and browsed but all the responses seem highly complex, involving editing files. But elsewhere it says "In effect, the goal of NetworkManager is to make networking Just Work."
What should I do next?
I don't really understand these commands, but they always seem to be asked for code...
Trying to install Debian 5050i-386 ISO Image. Part way through I get the following error message: The network autoconfiguration was successful. However, no default route was set: the system does not know how to communicate with hosts on the Internet. This will make it impossible to continue with the installation unless you have the first official Debian CD-ROM, a 'Netinst' CD-ROM, or packages available on the local network. Of course I discontinued the install. How does one set a default rout?
I'm able to use apt-get and do updates.I cannot go to any webpages except debian.org.The same thing happened when I first installed linux mint debian 2010 on this same machine.Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6105/VT6106S [Rhine-III]Lenny was installed on this machine and I was able to go to any website.Do you think this will be fixed when Squeeze is officially released?
I have internet connection - you need to open a browser & in the login screen enter your user name & password to get connected. The connection is via a ethernet cable. I have the netinstall cd for debian testing. How to connect to internet & get debian testing installed.
Fresh install without a desktop environment, I only selected "standard software utilities" from the software selection step of the installation process, nothing else is installed thereafter.
I cannot follow these instructions [URL] .... because "auto" and "iface" commands not found.
iptables isn't installed, but I want to install nftables since it's what iproute2 is to net-tools.
And it doesn't even have NetworkManager either and so far I found out ifconfig (net-tools) has been dropped in favor of iproute2, although that is just what Wikipedia says.
[URL] ....
"apt-cache search iproute2" revealed there is only iproute.
I just checked, net-tools is also installed, but ifconfig command not found?
During the installation of Debian ( debian-8.2.0-amd64-CD-1.iso ) I couldn't connect to any mirror probably because the internet wasn't configured.
Thus, after the basic installation I wasn't able to install any packages ( trying to install sudo as root prompted me to insert the media disc - the USB drive I used wasn't detected going in an infinite loop ). Judging by the fact that I don't have a window manager installed.
I manage to install debian on my flex 10 (lenovo), but now internet is not working, i can see the network, but even being able to connect to them i can't access the net...
I've been looking through the Debian wiki, searching past topics in the forum, and generally googling, but all to no avail. I'm unable to connect to the internet through any wireless connections, nor through an ethernet cable. I installed the latest weekly image of Debian squeeze. After installation, I found myself on the command line. I installed gnome with
apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment I also tried installing gnome-applets, gnome-netstatus-applet, and gnome-nettool, but I guess they were already installed. When I open System > Administration > Network in Gnome, there's no connections tab in the Network Settings application.
Here's what I think is the relevant portion of lspci -v
07:00.0 Ethernet Controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 137a Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ23 Memory at c2000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2

I'm one of those people migrating from Ubuntu and in Ubuntu I had to add a 'rfkill -unblock all' command to my rc.local file for this laptop. Not sure if that's relevant, but thought more info couldn't hurt.
I just installed debian, durning the installation i opted not to connect to the internet since the large network cable was in the closet and i did not feel like standing up. Now i have finished installing and plugged the network cable in, expecting it to "just work", this is not the case. What needs to happen before the wired network connection starts working? also, the lspci output, appearantly it won't find any network adapter. I suspect this is the fault of my lazyness.
I'm trying to do a net install with the latest release of debian - but my ethernet card is not recognized/the drivers are not available because I have a card that requires a linux kernel version of 2.6.35. This is obviously a problem because I can't download any additional packages, and I can't update the version because I'm not able to connect to the internet. I have installed it, but it's only text (which I assume is because I could not install the graphical interface, correct me if I'm blaringly wrong here). So what can I do to install debian on my laptop and be able to use my Intel Centrino Advanced-N 620 network card?
I'm currently running F11 x86 and want to update to F13 x64, so a new drive and fresh install and copy all the config & data from old drive. and Prey, a lot....I'll be installing F13 x64 later this weekend, But F14 will be out in a few months then F15 and so on.I've tried the upgrade option (x86 to x86 in the past) on the install dvd but it doesn't work and I wind up with a broken install and have to do a fresh install after saving most of the import data and config files, but I usually missing something and get hosed. Part of the problem could be using Nvidia drivers for video and several applications installed from several different repos.I've never been able to safely uninstall the Nvidia driver and still have a working system, let alone upgrade to a newer version and still get a visible desktop.
I was thinking that couldn't I just edit a yum file and point it to a new repository and have it upgrade the machine with out all the fuss?I followed a procedure once or twice on how to do a inplace upgrade, but that didn't work either. I'd like to keep the machine running the latest bits, but with all the pain and suffering I need a simpler method to do it. Is there a procedure or process I can run or follow to keep Fedora in sync with the latest release with out having to continuously swap disks, reinstall and copy critical data files?
From what I can see it looks like I need to install Samba before I can share files between my Ubuntu 9.10 and Win7. I went to samba.org and they report the latest version of Samba as 3.4.6. When I searched for Samba in the Ubuntu software center, they report the Samba version as Version: 1.2.63-0ubuntu4 (system-config-samba).
Version 1.2.63 seems really old. Am I missing something? How can I install the latest version of Samba?
I downloaded the latest release, burned a disk and successfully booted. When it comes time to choose a partition I don't have the option of replacing the old release. I can install in parallel leaving both but can't use the whole disk. Interestingly enough I CAN replace the windows installation. Of course I already have Grub installed but I don't see how this would affect installing. I read the article here [URL] and it seems I may have missed a step. However it's implied I will lose the current Grub installation. Is that the case?
I have 2.47 installed and I want to upgrade to the newest version 2.67 yet when I try to upgrade, I am being told that I have the latest version. Is 2.47 the latest version in debian?
Twice now I have received update notices informing me of header upgrades which I installed, both required a restart of the system. Usually when this happens there is an additional item in the grub menu. The last two times this has happened I didn't get an additional menu item. What is the latest stable version? I am currently running:
2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 20 14:21:58 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I did try a "sudo update-grub2" and the menu didn't change.
