General :: Cannot Access The Internet On Newly Installed Fedora
Sep 8, 2010
I have just installed fedora 13 onto my old PC. Everything is great apart from the fact that i cannot access the internet. My isp is TalkTalk, they do not support linux, and have suggested that i contact the Geek squad who might be able to help me for the princely sum of �30. i think that all that i need is the ip address for my Isp or something equally simple and my problem will be solved. failure to resolve this issue means that i might have to go back to windows.
The machinery that i have is an emachines 3210, 2.70 GHz, a Dlink wireless router, i am using a cat 5 cable plugged directly into the back of the pc, i am using fedora 13. ps my son is using windows and is connected to the internet still via WiFi.

I had created 4 partitions of my 320 gb harddrive.
First 40 gb was reserved for xp , next 4 gb was swap partition , next 20 gb was linux main partition, and after it there is free space. I first installed linux on 3rd partition. I later installed win xp on the first partition. My laptop directly boots in xp . I don't see Debian listed even after pressing F8.
How do I re-access debian linux ?

have installed RHEL 5 recently and want to use internet on it. However it doesn't activate my connection when I try activating it through System>Administration>Network>Devices Tab.
My network adapter is "Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC", and processor is Intel Core 2 Duo. I read in a thread somewhere to edit a file named resolv.conf to include DNS server address, but don't know how to go about it exactly. I asked my ISP and he gave me two DNS Ip addresses

I have just installed OPENSUSE 11.3 (32 bit) on a pc. I am brand new to OPENSUSE. I have connected a network cable from a router that previously connected a Windows XP machine to a home wired network/internet connection. The computer shows network connectivity, but when I launch Firefox it cannot find the OPENSUSE URL or any other such as my ISP. Do I need to install or activate some LINUX application to make the OPENSUSE system see the network /internet connection? I can't seem to find any application in the basic OPENSUSE installation that addresses this. Is there some kind of firewall that needs to be dealt with?

I installed fedora 12 very recently after which I installed a few files. I don't know where these files get installed. Is there a default location for newly installed files?
If there is one, is it possible to change the location?

I finally got the driver to be installed and to be associated with the network adapter. Now the issue is the wireless network adapter won't connect to my wireless network. I am new to Linux, and am trying to get my Fedora 14 to work online, without needing to constantly be wired in (what's the point of having a laptop if you have to be stationary). Anyways my network has WPA2 personal security with a TKIP + AES encryption (I switched it from solely AES because I thought that might have been the issue).I've heard a lot of good things about Linux, but so far its been frustrating trying to get this wireless connection working. I am currently taking a course on Linux, and I am using the opportunity to learn about and maybe switch over to a Linux OS which I have heard so much good stuff about in my previous courses.

For every program I've installed, I can see an icon in the applications menu. But, I'd like to be able to find the actual icon so I can use it on panels and such in gnome.
Is there a standard place where icons from the applications menu are found?

Just installed Linux (Ubuntu 10.10-net book-i386) on an acer 5310 laptop, everything is working great except for the internet. Google home page takes over a minute to load on Firefox, the actual search results takes only a second but then it takes 2 or 3 minutes to load any site i click on. I have broadband, only 1mb, but it worked perfect on the previous OS, also using Firefox.

I have a linux box (fedora) with two ethernet cards eth1 and eth2. On eth1 I successfully configured a PPPOE internet connection. Such that from the server I can browse the internet. On eth2 I wired it to a wireless router essentially to provide the wireless cloud. On eth2 I also configured dhcp, such that the Linux box is both PPPOE and DHCP server.However my clients on the LAN cannot access the Internet.
On passing the routing command I get
Destination Gateway Iface
196.44.x.y 0.0.0.0 ppp0
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 eth2 (my subnet)
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 ppp0.
The router (functioning as a wireless access point mainly) has a fixed IP address of 192.168.1.2 and eth2 has IP address 192.168.1.1. The dhcp file running on Linux has been set with option router (Gateway) 192.168.1.1. I cannot figure out how to correctly set the routing table such that my clients on wireless can access the internet cloud. I googled and googled but no solid solution. Any suggestions?

I've not been able to find a solution on the forums, so thought I'd post. My DELL PC came with Vista installed and I then added Ubuntu. This seemed to work fine although I didn't really use Ubuntu too much. Then last week I decide to replace Ubuntu with Fedora 12. I selected the replace existing Linux option during the install process.
After installation, Grub displayed 2 options: Fedora and Other. Fedora was fine, other didn't boot. After readinf around I added another option for vista, but this results in the following error:
Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format
fdisk -l returns:
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

I have recently switched entirely to Ubuntu. I love Ubuntu and everything I need works fine, except the whole thing keeps crashing on a regular basis - screen goes black or white in a blink and totally hangs, requiring a hard reboot. How to starting trying to figure out what's happening? - I don't think it's hardware, as this laptop has worked fine with windows for a few years now. What sort of scans or checks can I do to investigate?

I'm playing with my hard drive partitions and trying out different O/S versions so I want Grub2 to be aware of them on its boot menu. Currently I'm using the maintainer's version of Grub2 that came with karmic. Do I have to do a re-install of Grub2 or is there a makefile I can use? Specific commands that I would need be nice.

I am a beginner Ubuntu 9.10 user. I downloaded and installed the latest version of the sun VirtualBox. My problem is I cannot find where it is installed and that's why I could not run it. Generally, when I install a program the shortcut appears in the menu "Applications->ClassOfInstalledFile". But Virtual Box did not appear. How to find the icon, or simply how to run this application and have a shortcut of it on the "Applications" menu?

I had a dual boot system (Ubuntu 10.04 and XP) and had a problem with my XP and had to reinstall it. Unfortunately I forgot to backup the boot file. After the re-installation of XP, I can't load Ubuntu 10.04 anymore, so I booted up Ubuntu 10.10 using USB, during the install, it didn't give an option to do a repair, so I did an install along with other OS. After the install, the GRUB showed now 3 OS:
Ubuntu 10.10
Win XP
Ubuntu 10.04
How can I remove the newly installed Ubuntu 10.10 without damaging the other OS? I'd like to keep the 10.04 because it's all customized and have several apps already installed.

I just installed ubuntu 11.04 on my PC from CD.I selected the option for it to run as dual boot with my windows xp (SP1 - don't laugh). I changed the boot priority order in BIOS to hard drive.The problem is the boot menu where i select the OS doesn't appear and I go directly into winXP. I have rebooted ubuntu from the disc and checked that all the ubuntu files are there and the drives are partitioned as set. So where is the boot menu?I notice the grub.cfg file refers to windows xp do need to change something here?

I have installed gcc-3.3 & g++-3.3 in ubuntu 9.04. Now I want to change the default compiler as gcc-3.3/g++-3.3. After creating links to newly installed gcc/g++, gcc works fine but g++ doesn't work.
When I give "$which gcc" or "$gcc --version" it works fine, but when I give "$which g++" it gives nothing and also "$g++ --version" it gives an error "the program 'g++' can be found in the following packages: * g++..." When I installed gcc I gave the command "$configure --perfix=/opt/gcc33 --program-suffix=33 --enable-languages=c,c++" . When I give "$which g++33" and "$g++33 --version", work fine.
I tried following:
$export CXX=g++33
$sudo ln -s g++-3.3 g++
Nothing happens. I am very new in Linux and I need to install ns2.1a9b in gcc-3.3.

I've just installed ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop, and when I'm on vim, I can use arrow key normally in command mode, but in editing mode, if I use them, it print a letter, capital case + new line and doesn't move the cursor.
In putty I would try to play with the different type of keyboard settings (ESC[~, Linux, Xterm R6, VT400 etc...), but here, I don't know what to do.
At the installation time, I choose French/French keyboard.
