I have problem with my wifi hardware. After upgrading kernel from 2.6.35.13-88.fc14.i686 to 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.i686, my wifi is deactivated.
I'm using fedora 14 in my netbook HP Mini 210 (wifi broadcom).
I'm running Ultimate Edition 2.4 on an Acer Aspire 3500 lappy, yesterday I allowed my system to upgrade the kernel (from 9.10 kernel 2.6.31-17 to 2.6.31-18 generic) as per usual but when it rebooted I had no WiFi. The network manager didn't even have a wireless section, only wired, and I couldn't setup a wireless network either. If I reboot into the earlier 2.6.31-17 kernel everything is OK.
Another problem is that even tho I have no screensaver enabled and no power saving options enabled, (ie screen never disabled) after a short time of no use the screen goes blank. If within a few minutes I touch the pad or hit a key the screen returns but if it's been an hour or so nothing I do will wake it up,even tho there is still disk activity etc, and the only way to recover is with a hard reset, hold power key to reboot.
I got notebook HP Pavilion 15-p171nr. Have installed Debian Wheezy. There was some problems, for example with screen brightness (backlight) and it was solved here: [URL] .....
The problem was solved with upgrading kernel 3.2.0 to 3.16.0 from backports... but... with these steps i lost my wi-fi wl module...
It was downloaded somewhere, compiled and worked well until kernel upgrade... For the current moment i can not compile it.
My hardware:
Code: Select all08:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)
Within last steps official wiki recommends (my device is in the supported list): [URL] .... but I got problems with compilation... here they are:
I have installed correct linux-headers:
Code: Select allroot@hpnote:/home/yaroslav/Загрузки# apt-get install -t wheezy-backports linux-headers-amd64
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
linux-headers-amd64 is already the newest version.

Then I am trying to reconfigure already installed broadcom-sta-dkms package and here is what I got:
Code: Select allroot@hpnote:/home/yaroslav/Загрузки# dpkg-reconfigure broadcom-sta-dkms
------------------------------
Deleting module version: 5.100.82.112
completely from the DKMS tree.

My Intel Corporation WiFi Link 1000 Series wireless card stopped working yesterday after I did an update via Update Manager.After the upgrade, wireless is disabled and the option to enable it in Network Manager is grayed out. I thought that it might be the new kernel, but changing back to the old kernel I still have the problem.

View 8 Replies View Relatedi've got an IBM thinkpad 1858. fedora 11 & 12 (KDE spin) were always running without any major problems. today, i upgraded the system from f12 to f14 using preupgrade (and a wired internet connection). the upgrade process went smoothly.
but now i don't have a wifi connection anymore - there is no icon shown in the system tray and the led does not blink. the network configuration tool shows eth1 to be inactive and the button to activate it is grey.
lspci -v shows:

After i updated to the kernel version 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.x86_64 my wireless stopped working!
My network card is a Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 02)
The interface is not listet anymore under ifconfig, under the network icon i see only wired networks.
If i boot using the old kernel (2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64) everything is fine.
when i run lshw -C network i can see that the driver is not loaded correctly

Last night I installed F12 x86_64 from a liveUSB in my laptop with Atheros wireless. During the install process and after the first boot I was able to surf the web connected to the wireless network (signal was good and all). After I updated the whole system, however, the wireless network is no longer available (Network Manager does not even show the Wireless interface or the network list).
Obviously a laptop without wireless is mostly worthless. What am I supposed to do to get my (perfectly working*) wireless network back?
[Code]...
I just install F13 yesterday, before that I use F12 and it works well with no problem. The biggest and only problem I have with F13 is wifi network. If I turn on wifi switch before OS start, WIFI LED lights and wireless works. Then I try to turn off switch and turn on again, but the LED doesnt light any more, so wireless is also silent. The bad thing is there are many notifications of kernel crash.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWifi network operated perfectly with f13. Upgrading f13 to f14 did not show any problems except for networking. It seems that the wlan0-link is not ready. Consequently no network information about adresses can be obtained. Tried with network tools to activate wlan0. No reaction Tried to deactivate Networkmanager and bring network up with
service NetworkManager stop
ifconfig -a
Then
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhclient wlan0
No reaction on network. The NetworkManager icon disappears which is understandable.
From yesterday on, I am not able to connect my Laptop to my WiFi Router automatically when logging in to gnome desktop.
The following is the message found in /var/log/messages.
Its Lenny 5.0.4 and I can see my wifi LED ON till the gdm login page. After the login, while loading my desktop, the LED goes OFF and I have to restart the network-manager for enabling the wifi again. Why is this happening? Do I have to change the configuration settings in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ to fix this. I really don't know what change needs to be done there and where.
The same day when this problem started while logging in I got an error message from nautilus. The screen-shot is attached with this mail. Does this error have anything to do with the network issue?
I've recently installed Xubuntu Lucid Beta2 on my new laptop. But I'm unable to turn the bell back on. The 'pcspkr'-module is removed from the blacklist and is loaded. However, 'alsamixer' doesn't show me any volume-options for the beep. However, 'echo -e "a"' still doesn't make a sound. I've installed the 'beep'-package, and it works, thus I am assuming that the hardware-bell itself does WORK fine. It's just deactivated/muted somewhere, and I can't find the option to turn it back on.

After seeing that Starcraft 2 had a Gold rating with Wine I decided to try it out on my 64bit F13 system. Unfortunately I seem to get the ACESS_VIOLATION error due to kernel issues (see http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManage...estingId=55485. This issue has apparently been fixed in 2.6.35 so I'd like to upgrade my kernel.Is it a good idea to install the kernel and nvidia drivers from the F14 repositories on a F13 system? Are there any pitfalls that I should be aware of?

I have tried reinstalling the NV display driver via "additional drivers" in the live CD, but they do not appear to be being retained on the HD version of Ubuntu. When I go back into the live cd the driver is not installed.
How can I switch the proprietary driver back on in the hard disk when I am running the live disk.
Is there a repair system program?
If not is there a way of forcing an upgrade on an upgraded system so that missing files are reinstalled?
If that does not work what should I do next to get the GDM to load?
I have a HP ProLiant DL580 G2 running a freah install of Fedora 9. After doing all updates and re-booting the sys monitor only shows 3.7gb of memory with actual 8gb installed.
Not sure what is going on. Current kernel version is: 2.6.27.9-73 fc9 .i686
I was under the impression that F9 was a PAE kernel. But doesn't look like it to me?
Do I need to upgrade to Fedora 10? Or install a PAE kernel?
If a new kernel, what do I do? I'm new to Fedora 9 and big iron servers.
I am running fedora 12, x64. How can I upgrade fed12 as such? (apart from compiling the kernel myself)
View 3 Replies View Relatedafter upgrading to kernel 2.6.34.6 I have two issues which I don't know how to solve. First and more important is an issue with boot process. The boot is ok until it is supposed to switch to gnome desktop. Then suddenly the graphics become a weird line pattern with no discernible features. Only a rectangle which moves upon moving the mouse. This can be resolved by switching to a console, logging in there and killing the gnome-session. (with kill -9) Then, instantly the desktop appears as usual, the background is loaded, the panels come up and all seems well.
I have no clue what causes this. I thought there's a display driver problem but since I can actually get back to the normal graphics state I'm confused. Also glxinfo says:
Code:
[Me@Plato ~]$ glxinfo | grep render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (RV620 95C4) 20090101 TCL DRI2
Secondly the nm-applet doesn't work until restartet. Normally I expect to see an authorization request window, prompting for my passwd to start wireless networking, and the little icon in the panel. Both don't show up until I kill the nm-applet process and restart it. After I do this everything is back to normal and working as expected.
I assume if problem one is solved, two won't be a problem anymore because I expect the password dialog hidden somewhere in the background when the graphics is all garbled..
Edit: Failed to mention thath my graphics card is ATI3470 as shown in the signature...
I upgraded my F13 kernel from 2.6.33 to 2.6.34. But, the newer kernel isn't booting. It starts the booting process and then goes idle. how shall I troubleshoot?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just updated my kernel on Fedora 13. The bug update thing popped up, I clicked install, it asked me to restart, I did this, now the loading bar on boot gets to the end then stops and goes no further. A google search showed people using older versions of Fedora have had some issues similar because of their nVidia graphics card, which I also have, however I can't find a solution. There is no terminal to play with, no error message, so I have very little to go on. I have a java project for uni on there I need to rescue so any help would be very welcome.
Extra update, while starting up I pressed esacpe and was giving the option of an interactive start up which pretty much confirmed it was a problem with the nVidia card, told me that the driver wasn't installed with warning writern (is this a word?) next to it orange writing which didn't seem to positive. It seems that spamming escape earlier in the boot lets me play with grub. Using the old kernel to boot doesn't seem to help. So ready for those solutions now.....
My RHEL 6 computer at work cannot have access to the internet. Is there any way I can upgrade my kernel without internet access? I do ofcourse of another PC with internet access and a USB flash drive.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am relatively new to the Linux System (8 months). I am having issues after upgrading the Scientific Linux 6 kernel from its current 2.6.x version to the latest version that SL6 has available. The issue is that once I install the upgrade and reboot, the internet becomes extremely laggy when scrolling on web pages, so much so that you get a ripple like effect as your scrolling. Which doesn't occur in the current kernel i am using.
Current Kernel is: 2.6.32-71.18.2.el6
New Kernel RPM update is: 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6
I wish I could figure out the problem but I am having trouble identifying what exactly the current kernel has that the new one doesn't that would cause the internet lag. I have read other topics with similar kernel update problems, but none have expressed an internet problem & only an internet problem from a kernel update.
Yum 'pre-upgrade' added new kernel to menu.lst, but I don't boot from that GRUB; I boot from GRUB on another partition. The new kernel is ready to install, but the GRUB that I boot with ain't linking' to the pre-loaded kernel.
Code:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.

I cant boot into Fedora 10 using the latest kernel. It just hangs after grub, I can still boot into an older kernel. The problem is its a fresh install that I ran a full update on straight away, and now I cant install videoaudio drivers because the kernel-header packages (and others) are installed for the latest kernel. Is there any boot parameters I can try to add when booting that might help?
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe -162 kernel upgrade just released failed to boot in my x86-64 system. Additionally, both previous kernels failed in (probably) the same way. The progress icon proceeded all the way to its 'f' image, and then hung. I touched escape key, and found several disturbing messages among a dozen or so lines --
mdadm: No arrays found in config file or automatically. A dynamic linking error occurred: /lib64/multipath/libcheckdirectio.so: no such file or directory awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: cannot open file `/etc/inittab` for reading (Invalid Argument). Init: rcS post-stop process (807) terminated with status 2s. I got into rescue mode with my install disk, then looked for libcheckdirectio.so in /mnt/sysimage/lib64 but it was not there. Also, locate -d /mnt/sysimage/mlocate/mlocate.db/libcheckdirectio.so found nothing.
Ran chroot and executed the fakd diagnostic (which I had not seen before) and rebooted. Same problem - although now the screen is telling me SELinux is requiring a targeted policy relabel. My dual-boot-to-vista system has been erratic (requiring fsck several times, and confounding the Vista partition to require file checks), primarily since a large install of Eclipse and multiple plug-ins AFAICR.
I've just gotten another kernel upgrade, and need to copy it to a bootloader on another Linux sytem, so Fedora will boot, using legacy grub. The problem is that when I check /boot/grub/grub.conf, I get title Fedora (2.6.34.7-66.fc13.i686) root (hd0,2)

It's all Greek to me, but evidently it means something to grub, as that's what is in the Fedora kernel(s) that work. I can't find where this "bunch of stuff" is for the new kernel, so I can paste it into the grub file on the other system. The other system is Linux Mint9, and I've made Mint work using (legacy) grub, and deleted grub2 so that it's no longer Mint's bootloader.
I had a FC13 box which I ran a yum update which obviously does updates to the packages installed. My issue is that its tried to upgrade the kernel to FC14 and that has toasted by install. now when the box boots up I get this on the screen.

there are a few more lines like te last one. I've tried a rescue disk but no good. is my box toasted for good? I've used a live cd and can still the data on the box, is there any way to resue this situation? or is it run live cd backup the data and do fresh install?
