Fedora Hardware :: F13 Wireless Not Responding To Fixes
Sep 9, 2010
I have an HP mini 1116nr, with the BCM4312 wireless card. I do not have any wireless or wired connection on this mini.I have looked at dozens of posts and different forums, sites, ect and most methods are the same and have not worked for me.The mini comes with a wireless switch to turn on the wireless on the front, I have tried to turn it on at almost every point in my troubleshooting with no change.I have copied and installed the following software pacs via a removable usb hd to my home file in a folder named linux and these are the results I have gotten. I have worked on this for about 10hrs today and several more hours across the week, if anyone can help me I would appreciate a line by line step by step instruction to get through this because it seems I am making an error in the steps in the forum for installing without internet connection.

I am running Fedora 14 with KDE on my IBM T60p Thinkpad laptop. The wireless network adapter is Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG. The wireless network uses WPA2 with AES encryption.
Until yesterday my wireless worked fine. I originally installed wlassistant and it enabled my Network Manager to work with WPA2. My XP on the same machine still works on wireless without any issues, so both the adapter hardware and the router are eliminated as sources of the problem.
Yesterday I booted up my Linux and noticed there were 20+ security updates and I installed them all. It asked me to logoff and log back in. I did, and since then my wireless is dead as a doorknob. When the wireless adapter initializes it prompts me for the WPA2 password, however the password is visible in the password field. I click to accept it but it cant connect. Network manager just sits there waiting for authentication and nothing happens. The wpa_supplicant service is disabled, however I honestly cant remember if it was enabled before, considering that I use wlassistant. If I enable it, still nothing happens.
Anyway, thinking that the security updates possibly broke wlassistant, I uninstalled it and installed the latest version. The old version was 12, the new one is 13. It makes no difference though.I always use my laptop on wireless, therefore I am dead in the water.
Its really frustrating how something always breaks on this OS. It resembles a leaky boat that always has at least one hole. By the time I plug it another one appears, so I spend 90% of my Linux time fixing problems and have the remaining 10% for work and play. Windows and Mac work out of the box and apparently thats what 99% of users want, hence the 1% market share
Anyway, sorry about this, however losing my network connectivity from installing security updates really ticked me off. Its pretty unacceptable. Anyone has any ideas which recent fixes may be to blame? I am sure it didnt only happen to me.

I have a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 3000 v2 and Microsoft Explorer Mouse Model 1362. The biggest issue I have right now is with the keyboard. The keyboard will start cutting out and not responding to keys. As soon as the cpu load drops then all is well. I have a PS2 keyboard that I keep plugged in just in case the load stays high and I need to type something. The mouse and the keyboard have seperate usb dongles, and when the keyboard is having issues the mouse is still working great. This tells me that either the USB radio for the keyboard gets turned off, or that something on my machine is weird. I have seen the EXACT same behaviour on 32bit and 64bit linux distros.
CPU: AMD X3 720 oc'ed to 3.22GHZ
MOBO: Biostar
RAM: 8GB
Video: HIS ATI 4890 (using FGLRX)
HD: Samsung 1TB 7200RPM drive
OS: Ubuntu 10.10 (tested also with Fedora 14, OpenSUSE 11.3)
Note: it happens with very little load and high load. Of course high load it happens all the time.

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 in an HP 6735s and can�t get wireless to work, it seems that the wireless button is not working cause it is in orange color ( disabled ) and when I press it it doesn�t change into blue ( enabled ) . There is a version of windows on other partition and wireless works and the button enables/disables
I tried the bios option of "load default values" that should enable the button by default but it does not work...
Bellow copied some info.
dmesg | grep Broadcom
[ 6.267557] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4312 WLAN found (core revision 15)

System: hp pavilion dv7 running ubuntu 10.04
Today my laptop battery died and after i plugged it in and restarted it said that networking was not enabled. hitting the networking key didn't re-enable it. i right clicked the wireless icon in the tray and clicked "enable networking" and it enabled it but no networks showed up as available and the networking status light on my keyboard stayed red. I've restarted the computer several times to no avail. anyone know what i need to do?

For some reason my button to turn the wireless on or off turned itself off. It's orange when off and blue when on. I tried rebooting but that didn't work. I need to turn it back on to get my wireless working again.

I recently ran out of space with my free 2 GB U1 account. So I upgraded to a 20 GB pack.This was shortly after upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10, during which I changed the name of my computer from 'Rain' to 'El-Mustango'. Don't ask.Anyway, in the process of upgrading U1 to 20 GB, I noticed the machine I had connected on the website was still called Rain. So without really thinking, I removed it.Now I can't get U1 to sync. If it tries at all, it tells me that I've got no free space. And when I say "it tells me", I mean "someone should fix the bug where it pops up a notification for every single file it tries to sync".I've gone through every fix I can find online. My issue is the u1sdtool -s shows:Quote:
State: AUTH_FAILED
connection: With User With Network
description: auth failed

I recently installed OpenSUSE 11.2 and everything works fine except wi-fi card, of course. The problem is that after installation the system recognized the card (is was listed in network devices in Yast) but I was unable to enable it through network-manager applet. Though the device could make scanning through terminal (found article in docs but didn't fully understand wpa_gui). Then i was stupid enough to delete the device from Yast list to try to reinstall it. So the problem is that i simply can't do this cause i see no way to re-detect. That is the goal is to at least turn back to post-install system state and try to enable wifi card again.

Do you guys remember the inability for lucid to boot with some intel graphics cards?

Anyway I used a workaround to get it working on my Toshiba Portege laptop. However from it stemmed slower graphics, no splash, et cetera. That didn't worry me too much. However, I am now at the stage where I am getting arrays of different issues (that don't necessarily relate) and I would like to just have a nice clean install. I have been upgrading since 8.something and I long for freshness. My files are allready off.
Has anyone patched the kernel or anything? I'm purely a newbish end user and have not been following launchpad or anything. I did the workaround the week of the release. any fixes floating around? If not, I'll go back to 9.10.

It's two days now I'm in deep troubles after my last "yum update". The system boots as usual, the graphical login pops up the normal way but no input is handled by either the internal keyboard (the system is a laptop), the mouse pad, the external USB mouse and keyboard.
The hardware itself seems to be working as I can pop up the BIOS menus and even edit the GRUB booting line. But, after GRUB there's no possible input. I've tried to boot the system with the Fedora 11 DVD, rescue menu and then chroot. This in order to run a "yum update" in the hope that the problem was in some broken update. No chance: there's no update.
My questions are:
1. Is there a way to boot Fedora withou any graphical interface from GRUB (or anything else to skip the KDE)?
2. Is there a way to have the (cabled) network activated at boot *before* the graphical login?
3. What the he** is happening to my otherwise pefectly working laptop?

is there any simple way how to upgrade 0.22+fixes (under Mythbuntu 9.10) to 0.23+fixes? For example any debian package (which I didn't found) to download and simply unpack and install? I'm afraid that if I modify this MythTV, Open Source DVR for 0.23 and use it on 9.10 with 0.22 I'll have problems with directories and so on...

I am really confused/frustrated/exhausted, now. I bought a HVR-1250 for a PVR and music/media HTPC that I just built, and installed Mythtv last night. The backend continues to report it as "failed to open" in the capture card section. Having read through all of the recent information I could find (mostly forums), I've tried card=3, 7, 12, 18, 19, 20, and 21 options in the new cx23885.conf file, and the card's still not recognized in Mythtv. dmesg shows me the same info from most recent screen captures (other forums, too), and lspci still reports it as a 1250 rev. 04. (Before I made the new conf file, the card was listed with device code 0070:2259.
I'm new to all things linux, and I have no idea where else to look, or what else to do. I'd prefer to not use Win Media Player, as I've heard it has more playback issues (skips, jerks, etc.) with recorded high-def OTA programs. If I'm wrong, I have no problem with switching OSes, as I just want to be able to record high-def TV and watch it when the baby is asleep. Is there something I'm forgetting, or am I just screwed, for some reason I don't understand?

I am trying to restore my desktop to how it was, what I assume is default. Some background. I am not new to computers but not an advanced user by any means. While very comfortable in Windows, with Linux I feel like I am trying to learn a foreign language by reading a translation dictionary. Most times things go right but when things go wrong I have no idea why. I am running Xubuntu on an ASUS 701. I installed it based on these directions:[URL]
By the way under Sytem Monitor I am told I am running Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) Kernel Linux 2.6.32-27-generic GNOME 2.30.2. I'm not sure what all that means or if it is relevant. I have been thrilled 70% of the time. Twice I have had to do a complete reinstall because so far that is the only way I have found to fix it when things go bad. I am hoping that this time I can avoid that. This morning I installed Wine from WineHQ and followed the directions on this page: [URL] That didn't work so well for me. Somehow it took up 2GB of disk space, scrambled my desktop and Thunderbird no longer worked. I reinstalled Thunderbird but that resulted in losing my inbox I uninstalled Wine but can't figgure out how to free up 1 GB of installed applications, I'll ask about that in a sepatate thread. I have searched and tried all kinds of tips and tricks on fixng the desktop. Deleting /.cache. Deleting /.config. Nothing. My final attempt was following the intructions here: [URL] Still not fixed. I tried all of the steps. Previously I had a tab labled "Apllications" in the upper left hand corner. Next to it was "Places" Then a button for Firefox. The Shutdown door button was in the upper right hand corner. My battery status, network status and clock were to the left of the door.

I downloaded quicktime from the apple website because I am trying to get Itunes for fedora (If anyone knows another program that is functional with the IPOD please, let me know), I installed it with WINE, but the program is not responding well with my box. The program doesn't open, instead it black-out my computer screen and when I move the mouse over things, they then start to appear. Anyways...I tried uninstalling all of the files and folders that include the names "quicktime and qt"...then I tried re-installing QuickTime. Now I receive a reply that states "There is already a newer version of QuickTime installed on your computer." When I try
Code:
[pgar23@python ~]$ locate quicktime
/usr/lib/libquicktime
/usr/lib/libquicktime.so.0
/usr/lib/libquicktime.so.0.0.0
/usr/share/doc/libquicktime-1.1.1
[pgar23@python ~]$
But when I search through the filesystem, those files/folders are not present... How can I completely remove this atrocious program?

I'm trying to install vsFTP server in Fedora 10. When the authentication window comes up since I'm not signed in as root, it either comes up blank, or refuses to take the root password. When I try to close it, I get a "Authentication not responding" message and a bug report which I don't understand. It being lengthly, here is the first part.

I'm getting this error message after I login saying "Could not update ICEauthority file home/jon/.ICEauthority" Loading then takes longer than usual and the audio indicator doesn't work. I'm running ubuntu on my laptop so the Volume button doesn't work.I've tried changing the ownership of the files as mentioned in one thread(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=949750)I've also tried deleting the file (kept a back up) and then restarting, but that failed as well.(http://computers-linux.blogspot.com/...read-file.html)Another reason I wanted to start a new thread is because I noticed, that there wasn't any post with people getting this error in newer versions of Ubuntu.

Fedora 13 stops responding during an open session. I am not able to open a terminal or any application, although the mouse still works. I able to get to the shutdown menu, although the system will not shutdown. The only option I have is to do a hard rebootfter a reboot, I am able to log on again and the system performs normal for a few minutes. After a few minutes the system freezes again except for the mouse

Got a gigabyte ga-ma78g-ds3h mobo with an amd athlon dual core 5050e processor that occasionally causes this warning at post. Removed and replaced the processor but still occurs, possibly slightly less frequently so it might just be a bent pin and this will be tried again. However i am curious as to whether others have seen the warning in case it is software although i am assuming it must be hardware. I guess it could be a bios bug, the bios was updated about a year ago. Log files and system monitor confirm the missing cpu.

I'm running:
Fedora 15 Beta
Gnome (not 3)
Cyborg RAT 5 mouse
Well I just installed Fedora today on my desktop, and it went all smoothly. Mostly. And when I installed a bunch of updates and restarted my computer, my mouse would be able to say ope up Pidgin or FireFox, and then not be able to click on anything else. I could still move the cursor around, and use the keyboard, I just couldn't click on anything. it's pretty hard to troubleshoot when I can't click on anything!

Upon logging into kde 4.4 the left mouse button (3 button usb mouse) becomes unresponsive on certain windows. For instance the toolbar may still respond to left-click while other windows on the desktop do not register it. However more and more windows/panels become unresponsive rather quickly. The same happens for right-click sometimes but far less often. Some functionality can be recovered by re-plugging the mouse.
Logging out and logging back in solves the problem until the next reboot. I have tried different users and wiping the .kde and .kde4 folders. The problem persists. I can stil work by relogging every time I turn on my computer but it does waste a lot of time so if there are any ideas I'd apreciate it. KDE 4.4 release 3 (There seems to be no updates in YAST available)

So I've been reading around a bit, and have found a few fixes for this Resolving Hosts problem, but none of them have fixed mine yet. Basically what happens is all browsers fail to load pages, pinging local network works, but pinging default gateway doesn't. Cannot ping external websites and cannot reach update or upgrade servers for ubuntu. All networking works as normal on all other PCs in house, as well as the windows 7 boot I have on my ubuntu PC.
What I've tried:Disabled IPv6 completely by preventing the module from booting up Manually setting network settings instead of using the router's DHCP server Changing DNS servers from ISP to Google public DNS to OpenDNS Buying a new ethernet card And a few other things I can't remember off the top of my head, none of which worked. From memory, all this just started happening out of the blue. I recently changed from Windows to Ubuntu, and was enjoying the switch but all of a sudden I couldn't get on the internet on Ubuntu.
Now, I'm not sure why, but I decided to ping myself. Not my LAN ip, but our router's WAN ip. It worked, albeit took a little while to return a response the first packet, but each subsequent packet after that was a normal speed (~0.5ms). The strange thing about this was that I found that for a few seconds after pinging myself, I could access the internet. After a few seconds though, it returns to it's resolving hosts self again, which another self-ping would fix.
Consequently, in order to browse, I have an open terminal constantly pinging myself which appears to be working. Not ideal, and certainly not something I would like to keep doing for long, but it works for now. I really like Ubuntu, but if I can't get this net thing fixed, I can't finish moving over from Windows!

Currently have a problem with my LTSP server when using a gigabit switch with a megabit thin client.I am using K12LTSP with Fedora 9.The thin clients get most of the way through booting up then I get error messages saying:nfs: server 172.31.6.1 not responding, still trying.I don't get this problem if I use a 100 meg switch though.I have found several forum posts on the internet which all seem to point to the following webpage with a solution:However, when I make the recommended changes It doesnt make a difference.Below is an example of the default file located at /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg with its default settings:

I'm using KDE. I installed codecs for playing songs today, and tried to play a song using amarok. It didn't work, rather flooded my tool bar and the system hanged and I rebooted. It was fine before, but after I rebooted, a new problem raised.
Every time I close any window, something changes, and the windows lose their title bars (minimizing, maximizing, closing option), and neither it can be closed from the tool bar (bottom) panel, nor can be moved. The Kickoff Application launcher is also not working. Every time i close a window, I got to log out and re log in. I tried to change in the System Settings>Appearance but nothing works, and even when I close that window, the same happens.
