I'm getting sick of typing modprobe b43 every time I restart the machine. In the network manager, I've check the box to have wlan0 start on boot up, but it doesn't. How does one either add wlan0 to startup (a different way???) or have modprobe b43 run on startup?
View 1 RepliesSuddenly, for no reason apparent to me, on initial logon I don' t have an eth0 connection. I click on the Network Manager icon in the tray, and connect that way. But it would be nice if it connected automagically. How do I fix network to connect on 1st logon?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to send out ip address every time a machine is booted. So I have a script getting ip address through ifconfig command, parse the result (I do this with python since I'm not familiar with shell) and send out an email. I tried run it after login, and it worked. But it doesn't work if I don't login, but just call it from rc.local.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to mount a remote drive on bootup. I'm using FC14 and remote machine is FreeBSD. I've written a shell script to mount it. The script contains only one line:
Code:
mount 192.168.1.33:/home/user7 /media/mc33
I've to run this script from superuser mode to mount the file system(it works). So to mount it at bootup, I added the shell script to my PATH (/home/me/bin) and added it to Menu->System->Preferences->Startup Applications. Well this doesn't work because the root privileges are not present. I tried fixing it by giving root privileges to my shell script
Code:
#chmod +s mount-mc33
but it made no difference.
After booting, the sda5 and sda8 mounts work fine, but the Windows shares haven't been mounted. If I enter the command: mount -a everything works fine. I don't know if this a timing issue, or something to do with the new systemd stuff, but it has happened in previous Fedora releases from time to time.

The nmb service *is* enabled at all of the relevant run levels and does start if I issue the command "service nmb start" as root after I log in. This particular box's networking is 802.11n via a usb port and is under the control of the network manager. I have another fedora 12 box with an internal intel 5100 802.11n card and it does not have this problem.

I have edited my /etc/fstab file in order to have it automatically mount a windows network share at startup.
The problem is, that it isn't really working during startup. After I log in, in order to make it mount I have to open the terminal and enter "mount -a".
The following is my fstab file:

I suspect this has something to do with my laptop not having made a network connection when the entries are mounted, but I'm not sure. How would I go about finding out about any errors?
This is my startup routine:
I log on and Network Manager shows no wireless adapter.
I go to System > Administration > Network:
There are two entries in the Devices tab: Wireless and Ethernet
As soon as I double click the Wireless device and the configuration pops up, the device starts working (no changes to the settings are made)
I have the following set to ON:
- Controlled by Network Manager
- Activate device when computer starts
- Allow all users to enable and disable this device

I have multiple ssh tunnels that I need to run on startup. Does anyone know a working way to do that? I have tried creating a script and putting it in all sorts of directories (/etc/init.d/, /etc/, /etc/network/if-up.d/). I have also tried appending the commands to /etc/rc.local but nothing works. The script is actually executed in all these places because I tried putting a simple mv command in there and that was executed but these ssh tunnels won't be constructed. My script looks something like this:
#! /bin/sh
xterm -e ssh ....... &
xterm -e ssh ....... &
xterm -e ssh ....... &
I also have another program that I would like to run along with the ssh tunnels. The program needs to be run as root, but that won't work either.
I'm currently using Ndiswrapper for my wireless usb card that uses the RTL8187B Chipset on Ubuntu 8.04. To get myself to connect I have to run "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" everytime. Is there a way I can connect automatically?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIm having a hard time trying to change my raid configuration. Here is my situation:
A have two HDs that I configured in instalation time to work as raid squid proxy-cache. they are both 40GB. 40+40=80GB. So, I want to change it to two of 160GB. 160+160=320GB.
I have:
sdc1=40GB
sdd1=40GB
im adding / want:
sda1=160GB
sdb1=160GB
I want to remove the two 40GB and use only the two 160GB for my proxy. The thing is that when I remove the two 40GB, the system crashes at startup telling me that the raid cant be done then file system check fales too. Im wondering if there is a file a have to edit to change to point it to /dev/sda1 intead of /dev/sdc1 for example, so my system would start up looking for sda1(160GB) and sdb1(160GB) intead of sdc1(40GB) and sdd1(40GB).
I've got my wireless card working fine, the only thing is that I have to enter the following EVERY time I log in:

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am having difficulties to mount my NAS (zyxel nsa210) on startup. After some online research, i stumbled upon the "solution".I was advised to write an entry into the fstab-file and that's what i did.And this actually worked like a charm and i was then able to find NAS in "Places". (Not on my desktop since i disabled it). BUT this works not after booting up...meaning there is nothing like NAS in "Places" and i have to mount it manually by using the "sudo mount -a"-command...there is nothing automatic about this solution...So now my question for everyone capable of answering me: "Where did i go wrong? i have installed smbfs and the folder where the NAS should be mounted in actually exists, so the usual suspects should be ruled out i guess
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have been having some problems with my wireless connection. I am having to start my computer 2 times in order for my wireless connection to work. The first time I start up, even after I enable wireless it wont connect. If I reboot immediately and enable wireless it will then connect. I would like to be able to fix this problem since it has become really annoying to me to have to boot my computer 2 times every time I turn it on. BTW Network manager shows auto-connect, however it also shows i month ago as to the last time the connections were used.
View 2 Replies View RelatedRunning Lucid 10.04 in place of XP on my old Packard Bell Imedia has been good apart from the random freeze-ups that often prevent booting or stall the shutdown process. Today I think I solved it!? It appears that my wireless PCI adapter (ZyXel G-302 v3) was causing the problem. Ubuntu had installed a default driver which seemed to work OK; but I thought I'd try installing the Windows XP driver from my original ZyXel install disk as an experiment. I used ndiswrapper, got the XP driver installed and my freeze-ups have gone (touch wood).
