I have installed Fedora 13 and updated it. I simply cant use ssh to connect to this Fedora, not even locally. I have enabled port22 in firewall settings and nothing. Tried to disable firewall completely and nothing. I have disabled SELinux (not sure if it has something to do with this, but... ) and nothing. Entered "ALL: ALL" in /etc/hosts.allow and still nothing. Dont know what to do anymore.
Here is what happens when I try to ssh to this machine, even from it:
[flibio@surf ~]$ ssh localhost
warning: Need basic cursor movement capability, using vt100
flibio's password:
Authentication successful.
Disconnected; connection lost (Connection closed.).
Connection to localhost closed.
[flibio@surf ~]$
Looking into Services > sshd and it says "This service is dead."
So I tried:
[root@surf etc]# service sshd restart
Stopping sshd: [FAILED]
Starting sshd: : OpenSSH_5.4p1 on
: FATAL: Creating listener failed: port 22 probably already in use! .....
And still I get disconnected whenever I try to ssh to this machine from anywhere. Services says that sshd is allways dead, even restarting it but I can only restart it by doing a pkill sshd before.
I have recently installed fedora 14 and configured vpn to access my work network. I need to access some windows machines which although I can ping I cannot remote desktop into. When I go to Applications>Internet> Remote Desktop Viewer and put in the machine name (either just the machine name or the FQDN including the domain name) I get an error "Connection to <machinename> was closed".
Since I have started to use Ubuntu 9.10, I have had multiple wireless connection troubles. First of all, it says the signal is 2 bars, when in fact my router is right next to me as of right now. Second of all, when I try to connect to it, it asks for my password 3 times, then says disconnected. I'm on a hardwire right now, it's across my keyboard, and I'm in a tangled mess.
I have an Asus laptop with a BCM4318 wifi chipset. result of lspsci command about wifi cards:
Code: 00:09.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) For some reason, I often get disconnected. Once it's disconnected, I cannot connect anymore and I need to reboot my laptop in order to get the connection back! I didn't have this problem when I was on Ubuntu 8.04. I checked in /var/log/syslog and I found this when the network is disconnected:
So it's run every 5 minutes, and it works well, when it sees host is down, it restart the connection, BUT as the log shows below, about a half an hour after using the connection (for example the ssh through the internet or the vpn clients disconnected) , br0 (probably) goes down or something and the script needs always restarting the connection...
The log: Fri Jan 21 14:45:01 CET 2011 Network is ready! ..... Fri Jan 21 15:55:41 CET 2011 Network seems down, rechecking... Fri Jan 21 15:56:21 CET 2011 Network is down, restarting interface br0! Fri Jan 21 15:56:48 CET 2011 Network is ready after interface br0 restart! .....
Then if I use again, its ready... Is it possible, that if system don't use the connection after getting the DHCP lease, it close the connection automaticly? Anyway it works ok, but I don't want to owerwrite my router's flash in every 5 seconds with te new lease, my script probably defeat it soon if I don't do anything.
I am new ubuntu user . I installed - ubuntu desktop v9.10 32bit. I have BSNL (Indian Telephone service) broadband connection. In Windows 7, BSNL broadband connection is working fine.
Now in ububtu I try to establish ADSL connection using following command: "sudo pppoeconf". It open a console based wizard and I'm able to create the connection. But this connection is sustain hardly 4~3 minute, after that it is disconnected. So, Again i have go through the same process again and again.
OS: Maverick Ethernet driver: tested with sky2 an sk98lin This has been driving me crazy for the last few months: if I unplug ethernet cable while my laptop is on reconnecting it sometimes does not bring the connection back.
And once ethernet is gone nothing that I try seems to consistently bring it back. Rebooting, disabling/enabling the driver, disabling/enabling NIC in BIOS, changing driver from sky2 to sk98lin, deleting connection from Network Manager, resetting the router - nothing helps. It seems to come back randomly a few weeks later. Once I used live Ubuntu on a USB stick and ethernet came back not only on a live distro but then when I rebooted also on my main OS. But when I tried that trick next time ethernet was missing in the live distro as well.
Also once I was able to revive ethernet but compiling sk98lin driver, blacklisting sky2 and rebooting. Of course next time doing the same routine did not help. The thing is - ethernet works fine with either sky2 or sk98lin and I can unplug the cable and plug it back in most of the time without any issues. But then every so often - bang and I'm stuck with only wireless until ethernet suddenly starts working again.
This is not the common problem that's on the stickied thread. I'm able to connect to my wireless network perfectly. I switch between Windows to game and Linux for desktop, coding, and hosting, so I can tell it has something to do with ubuntu 10.10. When I'm connected to my wireless network, at random times, my internet begins to slowdown, then I get disconnected from the internet, but the taskbar says I'm connected. This problem only happens in ubuntu and not Windows for some strange reason.
The applications that are usually open do not cause it, because it still does it even though I have little applications open (Google Chrome, gedit). When I'm on Teamspeak 3, I notice my ping rises to the 1000s randomly, and I get disconnected. Once again that only happens on Ubuntu.
i try to connect to a specific ip address with ssh i have installed the ssh server and client. i also try it by connecting with localhost without any problem. But i keep taking this message if to try to connect to the ip address. i checked my hosts.allow and hosts.deny files and all are commented in there (i think tha this should not be the problem).
Several of our servers that do not have direct exposure to the Internet have the following entry appearing in their respective /var/log/secure files.Are these messages harmless? If so, is there any way or reason to suppress their appearing in the log files?
my netbook shares it's wireless connection to my desktop. i've done this through the gui (edit connections > eth0 > ipv4 settings > shared to others) and it has worked for the last i don't know how many months.recently it had become a bit touchy with regards to how it was set up. it didn't work unless the netbook was already booted and wired in at the time of booting the desktop.now however it's gotten even worse and all i get when i connect them together is
This computer is using a Linksys WMP54G network adapter, and running Linux Ubuntu 8.10 with all of the latest updates. It was working fine for a couple months, then one day the internet quit working on it. I've tried playing with all of the settings, and can't get it to connect to the network. The windows computers in the house work fine. I also hooked my Linksys WUSB54GS USB network adapter and that worked right away. When I put the WMP54G back in, it will detect the networks but it won't connect. It gives the message, "the network connection has been disconnected", right away. Can someone please help with this. I work doing tech support for a small ISP and am excellent troubleshooting Windows but Linux is another story.
I've fully updated F11 running on my laptop. I've BCM4312 in my machine. The issue is that the wireless connection gets disconnected so often that it's irritating my like hell.
I performed a F13 to F14 upgrade today and it went very well. The only problem I'm having is that I can longer Telnet to the machine.The client side returns a "connection closed by foreign host" message or "connection to host lost", depending on the client.The /var/log/messages file contains "FATAL: bad tty" following every telnet attempt.I receive the same error even when trying to telnet to localhost on the local machine.
I can ssh to my Fedora 12 without any problem, but every time I sftp to it, it says "Connection closed" and then just kick me out. Is there any configuration I missed here?
I found the issue is that in .bashrc I have following line: bind '"C-a": "cd .. "' As soon as I comment it out, sftp start working. But I cannot explain it.
I have recently set up two machines with F14 and on both, I am completely unable to make remote login via SSH work. openssh-server is installed and seems to work well:
I have already worked for hours on the problem now, using Google and trying numerous things, and still could not find any solution. On my other machine, which still uses F13, remote login works just fine. Is there any change in the default behaviour of the sshd I am not aware of? I would really appreciate your assistance!
Wifi getting disconnected very frequently in Fedora 10. I am facing issues in my Toshiba satellite laptop, after a fresh install of fedora - 10. After the install, The wi fi connection is dropping off very often, and even on keeping wpa_supplicant and wifiroamd in "active" state, the connectivity needs to be established manually.
I have been trying for weeks to solve this one and have researched everywhere I know to look. Nothing has helped. I am trying to ssh to my other machine (machine1=galla, machine2=cachin). Both run Maverick Meerkat 10.10. I get the following error when trying to ssh to galla:ssh: connect to host galla port 22: Connection refused
uname -a outputs:Linux galla 2.6.35-27-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 22 20:25:46 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/LinuxAlso, sshd does not stay running. I can start it, but a ps tells me it is never running. I imagine herein lies the problem. But why won't it stay running?I am not running any firewall on galla (iptables -L told me that).P.S. I can sucessfully ssh out of galla to cachin. And, even if I just try to ssh localhost on galla, same thing happens.
I just upgraded from FC 13 to FC 14. I run an ssh server on a port in the 3000s (call it 3xxx, to protect the innocent). When I try to start sshd with the "Port 3xxx" option in sshd_conf, I get the following error in /var/log/secure
sshd[5104]: error: Bind to port 3xxx on 0.0.0.0 failed: Permission denied. sshd[5104]: error: Bind to port 3xxx on : : failed: Permission denied.
I did not use to have this problem in FC 13. how I can give sshd the necessary permissions now?
cisco vpn client 4.8.5 I have no problem to connect it, but got disconnected every minute after I opened a terminal and ssh to company's server. Not sure what's causing the problem. There's no problem to connect to windows.
i am using broadcom wireless (4312) on my laptop with FC15 and configured it using [URL]. initially it ran great without any problem (for a week). but from yesterday, every 15 minutes or so, my wifi started getting disconnected, showing the wireless login screen . I can reconnect only by rebooting or restarting network manager service.
Recently, I had the courage of installing Fedora 11 on my laptop while risking of trashing my Windows XP. Fortunately, the installation went fine and windows and fedora seems to be working together. But I needed to reinstall Fedora because I didn't do the partitioning right. After that the problem arises. I couldn't connect to the wlan. The first installation it was working fine. Now I can't. I select the network, enter the password and then it just says "Disconnected" or something like that then nothing else happens. So I had to reinstall it again thinking I did something wrong on the installation. But still it wasn't working. But it seems to be working when I boot from the live cd. I must have messed up my network configuration.
How to enable wifi? I downloaded and installed Debian 6.00 and as I couldn't get online with my Tenda USB Wireless Adapter. I downloaded Debian 6.00 again, this time the CD Net Install version with Firmware included. However, the added firmware version of Debian does not find my wireless either. My wireless adopter is shown as Bus 001 Device 003: ID 148f:3072 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT3072 Wireless Adapter. There is a Network Icon in the Panel which when clicked shows "Create New Wireless Network". I have put in my ISP related network and my password and rebooted, but all I get is the message on my desktop:
"The Network Connection has been disconnected."
That isn't very polite, is it? Who has disconnected it and why remains a mystery to everyone except the culprit(s). I think I must have missed a basic step in the Wifi Enabling process. I checked the Use Permissions and everything is fine there, as User I have permissions to use modems and do networking and so forth. Also I should like to try "modprobe" but I see the package isn't in Synaptic Package Manager.
I'm using Xubuntu and i have set up my DSL connection manually. I get disconnected from the Internet within 2-3 minutes. I have to again select eth0 from the network icon in the taskbar. it connects well but gets disconnected again and again. I don't face such problem when i use Win XP. Any idea what might have gone wrong ?
I am facing problem while connection to host (Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 5)) via putty.
when ever i try to connect host machine via putty/ssh, connection is established succussfully but just after few minutes it disconnectes . same is the problem if i connect using VNC. I did't made any configuration changes in recent past, earlier every thing was fine.
I'm a frequent user of the shared connection feature of SSH. Usually i have two or three connections open at the same time through the connection sharing feature, but sometimes when i try to start another i get the message "Shared connection to <server< closed". All the connection that are established through the connection sharing feature are still active and not closed, but when i try to create a new one i get that message.. i've even got that message when i have only had two connections through the shared connection feature.
I've tried to search google but it doesnt seem like anyone else has had the same kind of problem, does someone know why i sometimes get this error ?
Our area was hit by a power surge and I cannot get the internet connection to work? What can I do. I'm using an AT&T modem which is connected to a netgear router.
The wireless connection gets disconnected and when I try to reconnect it, it is not possible, the wireless icon keeps blinking and last for ever and never gets connected again, the only solution is to restart the computer. do I need to do a specific task to stop this error? operating system ubuntu 10.10, I have a hp pavilion dv600, i recently had some issues with the wireless driver, now I have it and it works fine but now the problem is that the wireless connection gets diconnected and when trying to reconect it, well it is not possible. please advise.
