The "ADD" button is greyed out in NetworkManager (KDE). I need to try and setup a tunnel to a Cisco Router.

Just installed Centos 5 and I'm wanting to learn. However I also need this machine to VPN to work. When I go to Network Connections and click on the VPN tab the button to "Add" a connection its greyed out.I've googled and tried a few things in terminal with openvpn, pptpd client, poptop, but now I'm more confused than ever. I think the problem is most of the pages I hit are how to create a SERVER on the Centos 5 box, I just want to be able to vpn into work, so I'm assuming a client?My question is
1. Is there a gui interface for a quick VPN connection?
2. If not, what is a help doc with just the connecting side of the puzzle?
I have a 2nd computer with Windows on it that was preset up on VPN for me.
I'm trying to burn the .ido of Mepis 11 to a DVD. I have a 4.7Gb DVD-R in the drive. Usually, I would just navigate to the .iso and select it, and K3b would do the rest. Now, when I do that, K3b does check the md5sum, and it's correct, but then it just sits there with the Start button greyed out.

ifconfig only shows eth0, lo and pan0 interfaces, and got nothing from iwconfig...

lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
pan0 no wireless extensions.
Even tried to blacklist b43 after installing broadcom-wl driver, but no luck. Broadcom-wl works fine with Fedora 10 on my laptop, is it possibly because of the new ext4 file system? Should I try ndiswrapper or install Fedora 10 again and do a preupgrade? I also use fedora at work.
I have had a search around, any cannot find any thing I can make sense of as to how I go about getting the above card to work with Fedora 11. Just done a fresh install (need Linux for some development) but have no wifi. My chipset is this Broadcom BCM4310. There seems to be a whole load of options, and I don't know which works and which don't:
kmod-wl
broadcom-wl
ndiswrapper
I can sit with an Ethernet cable to install/update as necessary, but really could do with wireless.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.2 running Gnome. I have notice the last couple of times I have started my desktop that the Shut Down button is greyed out, the button does not respond when the mouse goes over it nor to being clicked. When this happens I remove the non-functioning button and add it again fresh and the following restart it happens all over again. I added this button manually to a panel by right-clicking on it and selecting "Shut Down" in the first menu that appears.

But if I am using an xterm and issue the exact same command, a window named "LPR GUI" pops up. The problem with the gui window is that the "OK" button is greyed out and nothing I do seems to allow me to print.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm familiar with linux (Debian/Ubuntu), but new to CentOS. I recently installed CentOS 5.2 on a new server for my radio station. I can log in and do everything fine, save connect to any network. I only have a Broadcom wired nic. I know the wire and ethernet jack work fine, so that lead me to the server's settings. I'm not sure if I missed something somewhere, or a similar post (I'm sorry for double-posting if this has been done before).
There is a static IP address set, and that's done correctly.

So I have a intel wifi link 5100 , the drivers should work BUT iwconfig doesn't show my card ..
However doing a ' sudo lshw -C network ' command , it DOES show my wireless card is recognised but not enabled and here is where the problems start ..
I have a touch button on my laptop to enable/dissable it And when I touch it in Ubuntu it doesn't light up like in W7
How can I enable it :s? I really want to use ubuntu !
I accidentally downloaded a torrent of the ALTERNATIVE ubuntu 10 installer. install went fine except for the part where i had to do the networking part, think i did something wrong there (as in skipped it). past ubuntu installs worked perfect using regular installer. googleing led me to use "lshw", and the command lshw says that the network is disabled (shows correct network controller tho).
View 3 Replies View RelatedYesterday I switched from CentOS to Ubuntu, and wanted to install TeamSpeak3 which runs on ports 9987 UDP and 10011 TCP. The TeamSpeak3 worked fine on CentOS before this.
It appears to be running and netstat -an reports:

I believe the only firewall for Ubuntu is "UFW", am I correct? If so, "ufw status" reports:
Code:
Status: inactive
I do have other things running on UDP (Counter Strike Source servers) and people can connect just fine.
When I telnet localhost 10011 I get a response from the TeamSpeak3 server:
Code:

Welcome to the TeamSpeak 3 ServerQuery interface, type "help" for a list of commands and "help <command>" for information on a specific command. However, telnetting from outside just gets no answer, this is what leads me to believe it is a firewall in the way.
I just installed a fresh Ubuntu over a Vista install on a Compaq 6720s with Wubi.But the wireless doesn't work in Ubuntu. In Vista everything is still fine.I tried two tips from the help program in Ubuntu, but to no avail. I also tried reseting and restarting. Tried the manual swith on the laptop.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI decided to do a fresh install of 10.04LTS on a Dell Latitude D600 Laptopne wordDisaster I have no wireless or WIRED internet connection. After viewing another post I've provided the output of "sudo lshw -C network" command below (I've blocked out my MAC address on purpose). It appears that the lan card is not even being recognized. The card is enabled in bios (I've checked twice). I don't get it, the wireless worked fine before I did a fresh install of 10.04LTS. I can't use wireless because I have the b43 driver firmware issue that I can't resolve unless I get my wired connection working.

After a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 (from 10.04) and spending several hours trying to figure out why the ad-hoc connection between my two computers (Fedora14 <-> Ubuntu 11.04) no longer worked - it had worked fine for almost 2 years with 10.04 - I've finally concluded it was a DHCP problem. This realisation (which was slow in coming!) dawned on me when I reversed my setup and configured the Fedora box as the DHCP server and everything was suddenly working perfectly! A quick internet search threw up an installation file called "isc-dhcp-server" which other Ubuntu 11.04 - related forums are also complaining about. My problem is that this file, although available in the repository, is not even installed!!!
It seems unlikely that the developers forgot to include DHCP support, so I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
I dont ve any sound in my F12 fresh install. i ve updated it but i didnt check if the sound was workin earlier. My laptop is compaq presario Cq60.
I disabled pulse audio from startup and create the client.conf file in .pulse folder with the following code:

I recently bought an F12 DVD (from a UK supplier) which I took to be a "full distribution". But looking back on the web site it was not described as such. After booting I selected the Replace Existing Linux System option and it listed the installation of 204 packages - much smaller than the 933 packages when I installed F9.
The kernel is now FEDORA (2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE)
My problem is that I am now faced with a very intimidating terminal. I am sure the installation did not offer a graphical interface. I have tried to get Gnome running by following the Installation Guide :-
1) 7.4.2 Booting into a Graphical Environment
I type in -gedit /etc/inittab
and I get back --bash: gedit: command not found
2) 15.3 Switching to a Graphical Login
I type -yum group install "GNOME Desktop Environment"
Response -Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again.
3) Again under 15.3 - bullet point 3)
Type -/etc/inittab
Response --bash: /etc/inittab: permission denied
I have now run out of ideas. I'm sure it is not supposed to be difficult but I don't understand the implications of the command line responses. I really don't want to be condemned to a win dependency.
I have a problem with fresh installation of Fedora 14. I've installed it from LiveCD, everything worked fine, but after installing security updates, Fedora stoped working. I mean, not immediately, but right after rebooting. Firstly, I got 1 more option to choose in Grub (which system).
This was also in Ubuntu, so I choosed the first option,- Fedora stopped booting right before the end. Also the second option didn't boot, and now I have to use this ugly Vista
I don't know what to do, reinstalling whole system won't be a problem, but what if it repeats?
It's Fedora 14 using GNOME with i686 architecture.
I recently installed SuSE 11.1 (64 bit) on my system
AMD Phenom II 940 3.0 Ghz;Biostar TA790GX 128M Motherboard with ATI Radeon HD 3300 Graphics card built in;
4 Gb (2*2 sticks) DDR2 800 MHz RAM
The installation went smoothly, But on first restart and login (and subsequent ones too!) I get a light purple screen with a skyblue box at top left corner, with xconsole written on it. when I Left click anywhere on the screen, I get a popdown with a number of options, of which only XTerm (bash shell) and exit (logout) options work. Now I know the HD 3300 graphics card drivers are not built into the SuSE 11.1 distribution, and I have already downloaded them (Linux ones)from ATI website. I login as Superuser, and type init 3 to go to a very basic screen,login as user, change to superuser again and then run the following file i downloaded from ATI:
sh ati-driver-installer-9-4-x86.x86_64.run
The result/output at the command prompt:
Created directory fglrx-install.ubanI5
Verifying archive Integrity... All good.

.....(lot of dots)...
ati-driver-installer-9-4-x86.x86_64.run: line 295: ./ati-installer.sh: Permission denied Removing temporary directory: fglrx_install.ubanI5
Once again, i tried everything in superuser login.
Also I tried making changes via sax2 command, it doesnt seem to work. A window opens where I see that my graphics card has been detected but thats about it. nothing else in that option, everything is greyed out (nothing to be selected)

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10, coming from 10.04 and the wired network connection sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. Right now I manually removed current network from System-->Preferences--> network connections, define a new one, and reboot. This usually fixes, although I've had to do this two times in the past.

I have no "enable wireless" option from network manager. I successfully installed the 8172 driver, however upon enabling it causes a system freeze, and I'm forced to use the reset button.
