I have bought an Intel NUC pc with Debian with debian-7.9.0-amd64-netinst installed. After using for a short while I have noticed that it makes my broadband stop. Once I unplug it the broadband is OK again. I have tried everything but can't find a solution.
View 14 RepliesI backed up all my data and installed F15. The installation went fine. I did everything like I normally do. This is not my first rodeo so I am pretty sure I didn't do anything. When it goes to GRUB all it shows is Fedora and "Other". No memcheck, Fedora recovery, nothing. When I went to Other expecting to boot into Windows it said BOOTMGR not found. Normally I deal with Ubuntu though. The partition was not formatted. Everything is their. There is a file on the C drive called BOOTMGR. So how do I get back to being able to booting Windows? I am pretty good with Linux and I know my way around the terminal so you don't have to take it easy on me.

However, my web browser, IM etc only work in root account.In user, knetworkmanager does show that my Huawei E160G is working fine, connected but I still can't surf the net & chat.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have internet access using mobile broadband and i also have a wireless network for home usage without internet access.
When my wireless network is connected every application in ubuntu (Meerkat) tries to use it for inernet access (as neededobviously). As soon as i disconnect from the wireless network (and assuming the mobile broadband is on) everything has access to the internet again using the mobile brodband.
How do i tell ubuntu that i don't want it to use my wireless network for internet access?
is there any tool (terminal command preferably) which can show the frequency and the type of the connected mobile broadband network. I mean HSDPA/GPRS etc and 900/2100MHz. At my country there are 2 frequencies used for UMTS, 900MHz for rural areas and 2100MHz for urban and I need to know what type is the connection and what is the used atm frequency. I am using wvdial for connecting to the internet.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI just reinstalled debian on my computer, I've had it working for a long time, only difference is I used to have Cable Internet and now I use DSL. Anywho, I reinstalled debian from the kde CD on the debian website, it auto-configured my network out of the box. My network is connected to the computer, pinging google works perfectly, and ifconfig shows that eth0 is working correctly without any errors. However on both Konqueror and Iceweasel, every time I try to connect to a website, it tells me the server cannot be found. Basically it acts like I don't have internet. Using the terminal works though, I have installed KDE-FULL from the terminal and wicd, so I know I do have internet. I don't know what it could be, like I said, I installed from the cd and this happened. Maybe there's a bug on the KDE debian cd

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a computer with grub installed, and nothing else. I'd like to install Debian on it without having to burn a CD. (and I don't have any flash disks.) It has a nice ethernet card, and I have another computer right next to it with an ethernet card. I also have an ethernet cable. However, I don't have any router free which I can mess with for these purposes. As I've looked up, apparently modern Ethernet cards don't need crossover cables, normal cables will work for this type of connection.
I've tried several different "tutorials" on how to set up a netboot server, but
None of them are complete. All of them assume that you understand how DHCP works, and that you can do things like set up a dnsmasq server. I don't understand the DHCP protocol, with submasks and whatnot (I know that it is the protocol for assigning computer network addresses, and that's it), and I don't think I should have to in order to simply connect two computers. All of the tutorials give you incomplete configuration files, and ask you to fill in things which I don't understand, and for me it doesn't make sense to customize these settings, as I just want to connect them and I really don't care what ip address the TFTP server has or whatnot. All of these assume that you are going through a router. I am not. When I try googling for ways to directly connect two linux computers with an ethernet cable, I can't even find instructions, just more references to "you need crossover cables".
So basically, I have two computers directly connected by ethernet cables. Tell me what packages I need to install, what the contents of my configuration files should look like, and what, if any, commands I need to run in order that when I turn on my second computer, and select network boot, it will start up a minimal debian system.
EDIT: Hmmm, it looks like I actually have a linux kernel installed too, but no root filesystem (so no other programs besides busybox).
I've just configured midi to work on OpenSuse 11.2, using the configuration instructions here.
When I play a midi file, all other sound on the system is knocked out and is unusable until I reboot. No idea how to start trouble shooting.
I love using wheezy but i keep having to take my computer downstairs to hook it up to router through ethernet, i need it to connect through wifi and stay connected.
heres my problem, if i use live image and connect to network its fine but during installation process it gets to the network configuration, it will keep disconnecting at dhcp and if i try and continue it gives me the error packages broken due to it not staying connected.
MY WIFI CARD IS A TP-LINK WDN 4800
if i try and just do a net install then it doesnt show my wifi network.
it uses in both cases ar93xx atheros driver for installing, i just need to know how i can try and keep a stable connection over wifi so it can install over wifi so i dont have to keep taking pc downstairs to install it.
i done something that stopped me being able to login into wheezy i was left at black screen with blinking command line, i have reverted to mint debian until i can get a stable connection over wifi to install wheezy again.
Loaded Debian Jessie (x64) and when adding printers, can see my printer which attached ok to my RaspberryPi and can print thru it, but can not attach to my Jessie box. If it adds, it can't see it or reports printer is busy, tried every config I could find on the web. Previous versions of Debian I loaded the canon print driver separately and loaded the cnij(?) filter. Do I still have to do that? Is there a trick to getting a network canon to work?

A message appears:

Then the installation just "stalls" and never moves past this point.
I am trying to figure out why, i need to restart/reboot ubuntu in order to reconnect wirelessly after being in power save mode. It works fine before the power-save mode and fine after the restart. Is it an IP issue?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to set up a headless server. I installed squeeze, and everything seemed to be working fine, until I unplugged my keyboard. The next time I restarted, grub immediately dropped to the rescue prompt instead of automatically booting the first choice, like it should have. As soon I plug a keyboard in and reboot, everything works correctly.
Edit: I just reinstalled, and I'm getting new and exciting errors. Now, grub seems to work fine, but when I don't have a keyboard connected, the booting of the OS immediately fails. As soon as grub tries to boot the OS, it gives 5 consecutive "error: no such partition" messages followed by "Failed to boot both default and fallback entries."
Also, I have my root partition installed on a usb drive, and the keyboard is also usb. My other harddrives are three internal sata drives (/dev/sd[abc]). My usb usually mounts as /dev/sdd, but during the install it mounted as /dev/sde, since my usb installer was mounted at /dev/sdd. I've checked the /etc/fstab, and that seems to be mounting it based on the UUID, so I think that should be okay. I've noticed that in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg it lists my root as (hd4) everywhere though, when maybe it should be hd3?
Here is my grub.cfg.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an Asus K50IJ laptop and everything works great, but now I'm moving house and need to switch to a mobile broadband dongle. From what I can tell the major providers here in the UK don't support Linux, so I'm hoping someone can help me with the question of mobile broadband on debian and what does and doesn't work by default. I'm happy to get my hands dirty and keep learning about linux and debian, but I'm definitely still a beginner in both. I couldn't find what I needed searching the man pages, wiki or forum, but point in me in the right direction if you think I've missed something useful. Ideally I'd like to use Virgin Mobile so I've asked them for specs on the dongle they supply and I'll post that info when I get it. Any help would really be appreciated as I rely on the internet pretty heavily.

(Then the internet doesn't work until tethering is reset.) Is there any way i can stop debian from doing this? The silly thing the internet works perfectly until it shifts it like this.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a fresh install of squeeze without a desktop environment. I then installed a basic gnome environment so I can choose my own apps ('apt-get install gdm3' pulls in enough for that). I then had to install some packages to get mobile broadband working:It all works fine until I disconnect it via Gnome network manager. I cannot reconnect using Gnome network manager because it doesn't show in the menu, but it does show while I'm connected. If I pull the dongle out and plug it in again, it reconnects without issue.I think I may be missing some packages, but I don't know what. I tried usb-modeswitch, but no change

i recently changed my broadband provider and since then i havent been able to connect to the internet. I have configured all the settings on my laptop,(ive got puppy linux 4 on it). All the settings say i have a valid connection to the wireless connection and that its recognised the new provider but when i try to access the internet i get the page that says UNABLE TO CONNECT TO SERVER and it also says that i need to check my network connections etc etc. Ive done all that and it appears that i have everything in the right place. SO WHY wont it connect.

1) does squeezy allows out of the box work for huwai dongle/ mobile broadband? (i never was able to configure mobile broadband in lenny thus i couldn't have kept lenny in my pc for more than 3 hours)
2) if i install squeezy (which status is 'testing' at the time being), do i need to reinstall squeezy once it becomes 'stable'?
3) any major difference between squeezy/debian and ubuntu?
I've just installed Debian 7.6.0 with KDE onto my laptop and now I want to connect to the internet with my Mobile Broadband dongle. When it's plugged in, I follow the icon in the taskbar to the Network Connections window.
Then I try to add a MBB instance with the pop-up assistant. After I've answered all the questions another pop-up tells me:-
"Insufficient privileges"
What's going wrong here and how do I get Debian to work the dongle (which works on my Desktop Debian 7.5.0 that uses Gnome)?
