Fedora Installation :: F13 Live CD Terminal Pings But Firefox Will Not Connect
Aug 2, 2010
Due to my problem getting F13 installed on my main desktop PC I thought I'd give the live CD a go in an old laptop:
Toshiba Satellite 1400-103, 512 MB RAM
This time I at least got to the desktop, however firefox will not connect to any website (and I've tried dozens)
However if i open up a terminal I can ping the websites that were not connecting, e.g.
Code:
So it does not appear to be a DNS problem (and other win boxes on my router connect fine)
Is it even worth proceeding with the F13 install at this stage?

I have just installed a testing net install of squeeze on my laptop and I'm having a few problems with my wired connection.
When i try to ping google.co.uk there is a large delay between each result even through the actual ping takes ~30ms. It takes about 5 seconds or more between each ping.
If i use ping -n it works fine. Does anyone know why this is happening?

I am running Debian Lenny and just upgraded via "apt-get upgrade" yesterday and all appears to be fine, except I noticed that when I ping something from a terminal window, it only displays successful pings and does not show the failed ones. When the pings fail, I have to "Ctrl-C" to see the results and cannot see them in real-time. It's not a huge problem, but I'd still like to be able to see immediate results even when pings fail.
Example is below:
(Username and host name changed to protect the innocent; or due to being overly paranoid, whichever).

Heard good things about Lubuntu 11.04 so I downloaded the .iso and burnt a CD to have a peek. When I boot up on the CD and choose "Try Lubuntu" the splash screen shows up then it jumps to command line. I tried startx, but it didn't work.

When I fire up my F10, I get connected to the Internet through wireless automatically. I jus wanted to experience how the CLI- Command Line Interface world is and to test the text based internet apps like elinks,lynx etc.. So I changed the runlevel to 3 in my /etc/inittab file. Now when I fire it up, it gives me the terminal.
The problem is I am unable to connect to internet. How should i connect to the Wireless Access Points.. n also here internet is under a http proxy ...so how to configure the connection.
I have tried a lot, like
Code:
I have used this part of script many times in runlevel 5 i.e X mode under gnome for spoofing my wireless adaptor's mac id by adding a line before starting the NetworkManager service.
Code:
I have also tried something like
Code:
But this one shows nothing(no output just stays blank) I dont get why it doesnt work under runlevel 3..

I just started to run Fedora/Linux on my laptop... I was using XP and using putty to connect to Linux servers at work. I am assuming I can use the terminal editor supplied with Fedora to connect to remote linux server? Can I uses the terminal to connect to remote linux server? How do accomplish this?

after installing Fedora 15, Firefox is said unable to access internet.The firewall is set up with the wizard button and I unchecked the "stay offline" box.The computer is in dual boot with Win7, where Firefox is working,thus it's not a connection issue.So does anyone know if there is something to set up in order to make Firefox work in Fedora?

I have a freshly installed dual boot Win 7 and F15. Windows 7 gets on the internet no problem, so does this RHEL/FF machine, iphone too, but F15/Firefox no joy. it's showing me connected to my network just fine. I'm pretty sure it worked at some point because I did my software updates and I have a saved bookmark, though I don't remember exactly.

At first, I was trying to update Yum and it gave several messages saying it can't connect to the website.
This problem has happened in Fedora 12 for a week now.
I can use the Internet in Windows but not Linux? All the settings are correct: It just won't connect to the Internet.

I'm new to fedora, and pretty new to Linux. I recently installed fedora and had to troubleshoot most problems with the drivers myself, before installing the system I searched for all the drivers in my computer so I could do it easily. After getting everything working in proper conditions, IE, wireless, and sound worked wonderfully, I was able to hear, and connect to aMSN and my wireless network. I didn't notice any problems until I actually started firefox to browse the web.
It couldn't connect to a host, or resolve it. It wouldn't work when it was wired, and wouldn't work wireless. I reinstalled it to see if it would work without me messing with anything and just connecting through ethernet, and still it didn't work, same problem. I wouldn't ask if I could find a site that had the same problem but I've been searching for about 2 hours. I'd like to use Fedora asap, and get rid of Ubuntu.

Trying to open Firefox, and find that I cannot. It crashes. So, have opened Seamonkey, and am writing this from there. F11 updated to the latest on an ThinkPad R51. If I try my terminal, it opens provided I quickly open an empty tab before the home page loads. As soon as I try to connect to a page, or even preferences, Firefox crashes.

In all but one place my HP Pavilion laptop running Fedora 14 will work flawlessly to use the Internet for e-mail, ftp, http, etc. In one network there is a wireless router - Cisco/Linksys E3000 - that allows every computer to use the Internet normally for wireless or for wired connections, every computer but mine. If I use Google's Chrome I can access the Internet. I can ping any web site too, but the moment I try to access anything with Firefox 3.6.17 there is a long delay and the standard error page appears. Weather or not I use a wired connection is apparently irrelevant.The Windows 7 computers in the same network are free of this curious problem. Strangely I have noted a problem like this, possibly the same problem, with another network at a coffee shop and they both share the misfortune of using AT&T, which is proud to not support Linux ... for customers of course (it's good enough for themselves I'm sure)

Cannot connect to internet via Firefox or Midori on my Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop with a Netgear wireless card. However, I can update via yum, I can ping google from the CLI, I can ssh to my desktop, I can point a browser to find my router which /etc/resolv.conf points to, but can't get a browser to resolve hostname. I'm posting from a different machine (desktop), here is my /etc/resolv.conf:

I use Fedora 14 and Firefox as my web browser. I use Astrill VPN service. I have the following persistent problem: I start my computer. Astrill is not set to start on boot. I start Firefox. Firefox can not connect to anything, it says 'proxy server refusing connections'. I go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Network>Settings I click the radio button 'no proxy'. The problem remains. I am completely unable to connect to the net. Even on reboot, I cannot connect. On reboot, Firefox is set to use a proxy, although it was not on shutdown. Some init script is setting this. My normal connection is often faster than through Astrill, so I only really need to use it when I want to get at a website that is blocked by the govt here in China.
where Firefox is being told to use a proxy, and how to reset it to not use a proxy, assuming Astrill is not active. There must be something left in a .conf file somewhere which is overriding the settings in Edit>Preferences. Because, if I set it now to 'no proxy', I cannot connect to the net.

I use Ubuntu 10.04.1. When i write to terminal "sudo firefox" it opens the firefox with the default users config settings. But when i write "sudo nautilus" it open the nautilus with new config settings. This means there is a problem on my system ? (when i open the firefox with "gksudo", it is using as new user (root user's) config files but nautilus is opening with the root user's files also with "sudo").

Running VirtualBox 3.2.6 under some host OS (should be irrelevant which one, right?), I created a machine, intending to install Fedora 13 on it. Got the Fedora 13 Live CD iso image, and an 8.6 GB virtual hard drive, completely blank. I set the machine to boot off the Live CD image. The Live CD boots nicely and I get to its desktop. I open "Install to Hard Drive"...and nothing happens. No error message, zip, nada. Inspection of the system shows a series of odd file systems, but I have no clue what they are for and whether they're usable or not.
The sticky [URL] mentions that the blank virtual hard disk should be partitioned and formatted beforehand...So I did, using the Live CD's Disk Utility (Applications: System Tools: Disk Utility). Although the sticky states the small /boot partition should be ext2 or ext3, the Live CD installer proposes to reformat it as ext4. Shouldn't we have formatted it as ext4 right away, then? Also, the installer set the /boot partition's size to 524 MB, not 200 MB as recommended by the sticky.
OBSERVATION: This was not easy because VirtualBox sets the display to 800x600 at most, and the Disk Utility spills beyond those confines WITHOUT PROVIDING SLIDERS. It was sheer luck that the required buttons (create partition, format partition) were barely reachable (at the bottom edge of the screen). This is a serious problem, because increasing the VirtualBox display size can only be done *after* installation (see for instance[URL] - since this guest addition requires rebooting the guest OS, it probably won't stick to the Live CD).
Once those two partitions are prepared and the virtual machine rebooted, "Install to Hard Drive" works as expected.
OBSERVATION: It is absolutely inexcusable that the Live CD installer (Anaconda?) does not propose to do this partitioning and formatting for the user. It is even more inexcusable that it should fail without giving any feedback whatsoever to the user.
Aside: VirtualBox's guest additions does not work correctly (for 3.2.6 anyway). The Devices: Install Guest Additions menu merely mounts a CD image VBOXADDITIONS_3.2.6_63112) without any feedback (expected feedback because the menu ends with an ellipsis). The CD, once opened, has an Open Autorun Prompt button...which fails to do anything. Manually running autorun.sh also fails. I had to manually invoke VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run from a terminal to get anywhere. Even then I was unable to go higher than 1024x768.

I downloaded the .ISO for Fedora Core 14 Live, with the intention of installing it to my HDD.
I burn the .ISO with no reported problems.
I boot to the installation CD and can get to the point where it asks me to Login (a timer is also going down for Automated Login).
Once I click "Login", nothing else ever happens.
I can hear the disc spinning in the drive and it's trying to load something, but it never does.
I thought that maybe my older (2003) laptop might just be slow, so I allowed it to do whatever it seemed to be doing overnight while I slept.
Well, I woke up this morning and it was still doing the same exact thing with no results.

Oh, and I intend to dual-boot. I have already made a partition using Norton Partition Magic. It's NTFS filesystem for now, but I figured the Fedora Installation would give me an option to use that partition anyway - NTFS or not (meaning, it would wipe the NTFS file system and use whatever it is that Fedora Core uses). Am I mistaken in assuming this?

i am wanting to use Firefox to connect to my smb shares. However, i keep getting this error message: Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (smb) isn't associated with any program. My client configuration is as follows: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.8pre) Gecko/20100106 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Shiretoko/3.5.8preI tried the instructions below to try and fix the problem with no success: Quote: From [URL]
Linux with Firefox In order to connect to a network share directly from you browser under Linux, you must configure Firefox to handle URL's starting with "smb://". This is done by typing "about:config" in the address line and hitting return. After that you must right-click the list of settings and choose "New -> Boolean" as shown below.
As name you must type: "network.protocol-handler.external.smb" with a value of "true". After that you must do the same thing over again, but this time choose "New -> String", type the name: "network.protocol-handler.app.smb" with a value of the path to the application you wish to use for browsing network shares. If you use KDE, this will typically be "/usr/bin/konqueror".

I'm unable to get the "Uncomplicated Firewall" (UFW) to deny incoming pings. I've set it to deny incoming. Yet when I ping it, it responds.I'm using Debian 8.2 jessie KDE fresh/clean install with all updates.Below is the terminal output from a simple test (I've added an extra line feed between the commands for clarity):On a Debian 8.2 computer -- I install UFW, enable it, check its status (deny incoming), and get the Ethernet address:
Code: Select allroot@Computer:/home/user# apt-get install ufw
.... (long output -- no errors or warnings)
root@Computer:/home/user# ufw enable
Firewall is active and enabled on system startup
[code]...
The Debian computer with UFW active is responding to the pings, when it should be ignoring them.Rebooting the Debian computer doesn't fix the problem.This setup is very simple. I'm using all UFW defaults.This is a new Debian 8.2 install (clean) with all updates.

I have an asus router running tomato firmware. Through the webGUI I have set up an openVPN server as per the tomato guides. I am using the network manager plug-in in ubuntu 10.04 to connect as a client to the tomato openVPN. All of my certificates seem to be set up and working correctly.
I am able to successfully connect to the openVPN server using the ubuntu client but after that I get nothing. On the client side I am unable to ping the router, any ip addresses inside my private network, the virtual network ip, and web browsing (client) no longer works.
Also, when connected I am unable to ping the client from the private network.
Before connecting
Code:

Using live CD to check out Fedora10 on WindowsVista, IntelPentiumDual E2180, NTFS. Used Power2Go (default program) to burn ISO to CD. Shouldn't be the problem as I used it to download Fedora6 and those work fine. Downloaded and burned twice in case problem was faulty CD. Boot hangs up after initial screen indicates VMlinuz and image are loading, and graphic progress bar runs through. I get blank screen with blinking cursor, I can enter text all I want to. but no response to any commands. When I exit, shut down screen displays messages that look like I was totally running a linux system.
P.S. Found solution in other forum, press esc during progress bar load, now boot hangs up after loading cups.Going to check out boot edit options on wiki.

I've been trying to install Fedora 11 all afternoon and have given up. The machine that I am installing on was running Fedora 10 with no problems whatsoever. I tried to install using the regular i386 DVD and it went partially through the install and crashed. I then cleared the hard drive and left two partitions on it (two ext3's). Still no go. Then I reformatted the hard drive, cleared the MBR and turned the machine into a DOS machine. Fedora 11 still wouldn't install.
The Live CD won't run. It errors out with a nouveau error. I saw the sticky concerning that issue. I still maintain that a system which supports nVidia in version 10 should support it in version 11 especially when it's on the list of supported devices (it's a GeForce 3.) I realize that a product can't support hardware indefinitely, but the device I have is on the list, so it should support it.As I type this message, Fedora 10 is installing without a problem. Fortunately, I was smart enough to backup my entire hard drive before starting this fiasco, so I'll be fine when I restore. No harm, no foul I guess.Very disappointing from a distro that I really, really love and want to maintain. I would have thought that the systems people would have put a better effort into the installation program.

The problem is as follows: I recently had a power outage whilst my computer was running windows. When I tried to restart the computer I received UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT on the classic blue screen of disobedience. To resolve this I've booted a live ubuntu disc (10.04 LTS), of course when I created an ext4 partition and then tried to install linux I received "error while copying files" around the 65% point of the install which has ultimately told me to create another cd, which since without a working OS I can't do.
With the above filaure in mind I looking into fsck, fsck.ntfs and testdisk both fsck couldn't access the partition and fsck.ntfs suggested I run chkdsk (which I thought fsck was the linux equivalent of).So I figure the next logical step is to try and install linux from the terminal of the cd-based instance of linux I'm running just now from a freshly downloaded iso.

I am having (seemingly) random trouble with my wired network ever since I installed Lucid. I have no problem getting an ip address from dhcp. However, randomly the computer will boot and although I have an ip address I do not receive any responses for pings on the network nor can I browse the web. If I sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart a few times (or reboot) it will start working. However, restarting the networking services (as mentioned above) again will cause me to no longer receive responses for pings or browse the web.
Furthermore, I have never been able to successfully ping if I manually set an ip address. I have un-installed network manager and I am using /etc/network/interfaces to configure the network. Using Lucid Lynx 64bit on a Dell Precision. I have pasted below the output of a few working commands. When I switch between static ip and dhcp I am commenting/uncommenting the lines shown in /etc/network/interfaces.

I need to check the output of a name resolution, but I configured the firewall of the destination to avoid answering to pings.
Is there any other way to get a name's IP without using ping? (I mean something like $resolv name.com)

I've been trying to use MySQL in Ubuntu but I've been having some connection issues and in trying to troubleshoot that, I observed this strange behavior with pings in Ubuntu Desktops inside our network.
- All Ubuntu Servers we have (10.10 and 8.04) behave as expected
- All Windows machines behave as expected
- All 5 Ubuntu Desktops we have, (10.10 and 9.10) exhibit the following unexpected behavior:
If they have a local ip addresses and are connected within the internal network, either to a switch or directly to a router, pings take much longer to be sent. It's not a higher lag, it's the time between each ping that increases. I have to wait for around 5 seconds for each ping, but the time in the ping reply is less than 100ms, also they're all in order so I assume it's the system delaying the sending of each ping.
If I plug a USB 3G modem directly then it works as expected again (~1 sec between each ping sent). Is this an intended feature, that depends on the network environment, or is this something I should look into more closely?
