Fedora Networking :: Manage WiFi On LXDE With Xmonad?
Apr 6, 2011
I got myself into some trouble this afternoon when I thought I would give xmonad a try on my HP mini 210 that runs f14 lxde spin. so, after installing xmonad and dmenu and playig around a bit I found out that my wifi doesn't work. I tried ifup but I get the 'usage: .." response which I have read means that the programm can't find a configuration file for the device (and I am pretty sure that some programm was managing these files for me up until now).
I have tried to run system-config-network, which defaults to the tui version for some reason, I guess at this point that the normal gui is based on the gnome backend or something? Anyway, the terminal version just outputs a bunch of info about the devices that exist on the system (eth1 the broadcom wifi device is also listed) and then exits.
Anyway, in the normal lxde desktop you could use the gnome network manager, I guess this is not the case when running xmonad. So how do I do this? Links to documentation are welcomed. EDIT: some info about how I get to xmonad, the machine uses the standard LXDM login and from there I just select the xnomad window manger before logging in. I mean I am not trying to use it on top of anything else (eg. xmonad/gnome or xmonad/lxde etc.)
im using fedora 10 with gnome on a laptop, i want to increase power to my wifi adapter as im only getting 40% connection strength to the nearest wifi AP (about 20 feet) in windows under power management there is a slider with best performance against battery life, is there a similar setup in fedora 10? ps, if explained fairly well, i dont mind shell scripting (bash) and compiling.
I installed lxde, but my wireless internet doesn't work. I can switch back to gnome and it works perfectly. I tried wicd and manually connecting with the command line. Both fail while trying to get an ip.
Xmonad noob here: I would like to set the mod key to win + alt instead of just alt or win. I've googled extensively, but can't find anything that's straight forward.
How can I make iptables allow my windows client to see my PC / smb shares? When I turn off the fedora firewall it just works fine, but how can I manage smb in a more secure way via iptables to work? Code: iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 -j ACCEPT But where do I get the correct address from? Will this example allow only 192.168.0.0 (is this a valid IP at all, usable by any PC? ) or anyone in the network (aka 192.168.0.*) to access my share?
I'm using Fedora 14 with gnome as my GUI.As you know , there's gui tool which manages network adapter , either wireless or wired.After every login into fedora , I should click on network manager icon on taskbar and choose System eth0 to establish and enable eth0. I want it to be done automatically.
Previously , I used opensuse 11.4.It has a tool in yast which allows you to choose how to configure your network adapters , traditional or knetworkmanager mode.I can't find this like tool in gnome on fedora.
how I can configure network adapters to start or not during startup?
is there an Xwindows client to connect to my FC14 server to manage it? Like not Xindows on the server but on a windows machine. Are there other, better ways to manage it?
My wifi does not work in the actual debian testing jessie lxde amd64 with wicd version (fresh install). What I've done:
0. Fresh testing jessie install (offline and ignored the question for adding iwlwifi)
1. Adding following sources: deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
2. apt-get update
3. apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi
4. modprobe -r iwlwifi ; modprobe iwlwifi
So searching the web just brings up the wheezy way solution (backport new kernel and iwlwifi).
But in this case, actual jessie testing kernel is already installed by default and so the actual 43 firmware-iwlwifi
Some information: Code: Select all# dpkg -l |grep -i iwlwifi ii firmware-iwlwifi 0.43 all Binary firmware for Intel Wireless cards
I'm trying to run xmonad, but the hot key alt+****+enter is not giving me the terminal.Is it because I haven't installed xterm?Right now I can't do anything on my machine because I cannot access terminal.I always boot to SLiM, and from there enter xmonad.By the way I'm running arch, I would post on the arch forums but I can't sign up since I need the terminal to run a verification code type thing
recently added xmonad and seems pretty fun! was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to add keybindings that don't start with the modmask key..reason needed is that i want to have the win key to be the modmask and then need shift+alt to switch between two languages. So far I've "hacked" it by writing a script that switches between the two languages whenever it runs, and I've bound that to modmask + shift however this causes problems whenever I press modmask + shift for other shortcuts...
Also, how do you make keybindings work for different languages.. effectively what I need is identify each key as a key rather than as a character.
I am using SQUID 2.6 on cent os. Squid as a proxy server is working fine. I want to manage my bandwidth according to my office staff.Like for top management users may allocate 1 MB and rest of the users as 256 kb.Kindly guide me that how can I do it ?
i'd like to know how many rule can manage iptable. I'm asking that because i'd to drop all traffric from my localnet to porn site. I've a database of porn site witch contain about 900 000 domains. I know there are solutions like squidguard. But for my linux box i'd to use iptable to prevent users access to porn site and other blacklist site.
ok so the router works in windows and i know the config details of it.i can see other wifi access points in the area but not my one. i have tried joining it as a "hidden network" to no avail.is there any reason why fedora would not detect my own wifi when it detects substantially weaker signals instead??
I'm running Xmonad and just recently it has stopped responding. None of my shortcuts are working at all. So I deleted my ~/.xmonad/xmoand.hs file, and still no luck. So I decided to log in as root and Xmonad works perfectly. Anyone know why Xmonad isn't working under my normal user? Is there a button i accidently pressed turning off the mod key?I was just browsing the web, then after I closed my browser nothing has been working, even after reboot.
I have been having some trouble using the Esperanto locale in Xmonad for sometime. I used this locale mainly in the terminal, because obviously Xmonad is a tiling WM and doesnt need a specific locale itself. I found that Esperanto locale prevents Xmonad from starting, but that if the LANG locale is exported after Xmonad is already started, it will turn my xterminal into an Esperanto terminal. Thus opening mutt mail will show Esperanto-Mutt, and for instance "command not found" becomes "komando ne trovita". I enjoy seeing this.
So the trick then is running "export LANG="eo.utf8"" just after xmonad loads before any other programs are run. I tried various things, and now wonder is it possible to just have the terminal itself running it its own locale? I could run this manually in every terminal, but wonder about automating it. I use the Xfce4-Terminal.
I tried .bash_profile, .xinitrc, .bashrc, and I tried adding the export to a bash script set to run by xmonad after it starts up. None of these cause the desired effect. I also notice it is temporary. If I open a terminal and do the export, that terminal is Esperantized. If I open a new terminal it is back to english.
Another thing I noticed is that after xmonad starts, if I manually add the export to .bashrc, all the terminals are in Esperanto. So I am thinking of making a script that does a find and replace of the .bashrc to add the export. Its tricky, some kind of sed-grep action. Another idea would be to put the .bashrc in a weird location so it isnt found on startup. Then make a command to symlink to it in the user folder after Xmonad starts. The main Slackware system would be English locale in order to prevent Xmonad from barfing on startup.
Lately I have been trying to get my laptop up and running online on uni campusnet but the problem starts with the network programs beeing not compatible with linux. I send an mail to IT support at uni and he told me to just create VPN connection with given gateway and add username and pw after request but I dont seem to work. An VPN connection has been made and tried out but it just sais failed to connect,
I set up some a kind of home network via wireless router, one computer is dedicated for a rtorrent client.Now I want to handle this rtorrent remotely from my desktop (not only via console or screen on a rtorrent host). I want do the following things: a) start b) close and most important load new torrents on demand from my desktop.
My laptop has an internal wireless device and a button to turn it on/off, but since it has bad reception I use an external USB wireless adapter.The problem is that if I turn the internal wireless device off using the button, it also turns the USB wireless adapter off.Is there anyway to use the killswitch (the button) only for the internal wireless device?This only started to happen in Ubuntu 10.04.
I have 2 connections, wlan and wired, and I'd want to have a few websites (in my browser) to connect through the wireless connection while other go through the wired rj45 connection. s it possible? (without unplugging the rj45 cable...)
I have only had a few weeks worth of experience with linux, so I'm probably considered a newbie at this but I felt like giving it a shot. I just configured my new Toshiba Satellite A505-S6969 to jaunty. Most of the transition is going well but I'm stuck with a few issues, one of which is getting my wifi to work. Right now I'm working off of an ethernet cable.spci returns

the only error message I can find comes from "dmesg|tail"all it shows is "no IPv6 router"any body know what is going on here or where where to look for more clues the next time I get around public wifi Oh the windoze washers and apple polishers don't seem to have any problems at all
Is it possible to manage the LED of the box (desktop) ? (I'd like to light off the main led when suspend rather than it wink at - I've looking for a LED entry in /proc bit find nothing)

I have an old PowerBook G4 that I would like to use as a 'dummy' computer for learning wireless penetration (WEP/WPA attacks) more effectively. I had been using a wireless router, but I gave it away I can use Mac OS X to share an ethernet connection over wifi, but this is _very_ un-configurable. You get two options only, WEP and a key-length. So, I would like to install someway to make this wireless connection more configurable.
I have a dual monitor setup with Kubuntu (lucid lynx). I followed xmonad guide for disabling greedy view behavior. Here is my xmonad.hs. Am I doing something wrong ?
Code: import XMonad import System.Exit import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W import qualified Data.Map as M import XMonad.Util.Run
Its been like this since fedora 12, in fedora 11 its no problem, i hope it will be fixed in fedora 13 and i am waiting..., and after fedora 13 released the problem is still the same...
I use Intel 3945ABG. wifi connect with no problem and after few seconds its disconnected, and re-asking my saved password (which is stupid since i save the password so fedora won't ask me that stupid question again).
I can use Ubuntu with my onboard wireless in my IBM Lenovo Laptop but it doesn't work here and in other linux distro's I have tried I need to do a lot of code manipulation with the help of experts on the forums telling me what to do. I want to install Fedora 14 and maybe even try other Distro's as they come out without needing to be a Linux expert. So I want to go down to Best Buy a couple miles down the road and buy a USB WIFI Wireless thing.
