I have problem with network manager ( I want static address, manual dns and so on) I used to do it in /etc/network/interfaces with the new network-manager I am lost, I prefer, at least for the moment, to continue with the classic network, how and where to disable the networkmanger.
I would like to disable auto loading of network manager/wpa supplicant in my FC13 system. I am not interested in just stopping the service (/etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop) from user lever. Is there any kernel configuration which can serve the purpose. If there is a way to stop notifying user level about new network interface, please let me know.
Adapter: Ralink RT3090 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi Basically, whenever I disable it, I can't get it to turn back on. If I hit Enable, it says device is not ready. What can I do to make it work ?
I have a minor problem with Knetwork-manager. When I boot up, it won't connect to my wireless router automatically. I have to right-click the taskbar icon, disable wireless, then enable wireless, then it connects fine.It remembers the password fine and once it's connected, it's flawless. It's just the minor issue of having to effectively 'switch the internet on' rather than it just being connected when I turn on my laptop.
I'm using Opensuse 11.2, KDE 4.3.1 (didn't have this issue with 11.1). I've tried the latest Kubuntu (9.10) and knetwork-manager worked flawlessly but I didn't like the rest of the OS so I came back to Opensuse If I restart, suspend or hibernate it usually connects okay, it just seems to be when I boot from 'cold'.
I've tried nm-applet but same problem. I also tried wicd but it didn't really like my system. I've changed my wireless router recently as well with no change, so I don't think it's that. As I say it's a minor problem, it's not really an issue for me to turn it on each time but it would be nice to clear it up. I've googled and searched since 11.2 was released but haven't found any answers and my linux skills are still a bit lacking.
I had trouble connecting to a wireless network with openSUSE, so I tried the YAST network manager to see if that fixed it. Not only did it not fix it, but now I cannot connect to any network, wired or wireless. I tried to open the default network manager and it said "Network management disabled". How do I re-enable it?I also have set YAST settings back to their originals with no luck.
Our corporate wireless network uses continuously changing passwords with RSA tokens.So every time we need to connect to the wireless we need to enter a new password off the RSA token. For extra fun using the wrong password a couple of times in a row causes the users account to be locked.Network manager automatically stores and reuses the password, with the net result that it is constant getting my account locked.Is there some way to prevent it from storing my password for that network?
I'm running Fedora 12. I've been using Amahi for a trial but this blew up. Last attempt to use it flagged up a problem with Ruby on Rails release version incompatabilies. I've removed Amahi using the software toolk. I now have no internet access and no ETH0 in network manager. How do I get my ethernet back?
Look Buddies,an interesting issue. Once i just remove X11 libraries , gdm , gnome libraries and network-manager applet. from the ubuntu 9.10. after these uninstallations, i used my internet successfully through text interface browsers which is links
but i understood graphical interface are important for my work. Once again i installed 1. xfce4 2. network-manager applet
Everything Graphics,X11 sessions and accessing internet is working fine. i can even browse through Mozilla firefox. But my Network-Manager applet is always show as disconnected in taskbar. I understood some kind of understanding between network -configuration files and network-manager applet are broken Why is the Network-Manager Applet is not responding?
I am trying to download a 22gb file over a slow vpn connection. The file is not hosted so what I did was just "connect to remote server" via Ubuntu, navigate to the directory where the file is and copy and paste it into my file system.Unfortunately I was not able to download the file because the connection conked out. I was wondering if there was some sort of download manager that would enable me to copy the file I want and if the connection goes out again just resume.
I was editing my wireless network connections when all of a sudden the network connections .. i have tried everything from reinstalling to removing and installing . nothing has worked. i tried installing wicd but i cannot configure wireless networks in it ..
Okay, so today I decided I was bored with my current Fedora 15 installation and tried a little distro hopping. Eventually I ended up at Debian Squeeze. I downloaded the cd version as a net install won't work because of driver issues. I used the graphical interface to install it.When it finished installing I booted it up, made sure everything was working. Now in all my past I think 6 linux installations, all I had to do to get the internet working was move a file someone gave me a while to my /lib/firmware. I'm not sure if this is the problem, but no matter what, where ever I go, I can't find an actual manager to connect to the internet. This might be a stupid question to a lot of people, but I'm stumped. There is nothing in the menu's.
Now I've been working with GNU/Linux for almost a year now and have come across many problems, but never like this. I've Googled up and down, and searched the forums here and still nothing. I've looked in the menu's and the only network related thing is network-proxy. Just for kicks I also tried
i have installed kubuntu in ubuntu 10.04 lts, the problem that i have right now is that whenever the laptop hibernates the network manager is disabled!! so i always have to go to the ubuntu desktop enviroment in oder for me to activate the network kubuntu.Is there a way i can just activate the network manager without going to ubuntu desktop enviroment??
I've always run as root on Slackware, but having done away with Ubuntu for now, all of my machines including the family desktop are running Slackware. There have been several ups and downs and the last one that I know of (for now) is the HP Device Manager. It doesn't run as root so I've never noticed that it drastically slows down printing via a shared printer. Disabled the system just sends it's requests to the samba/cups server and starts printing instantly. The HP Device Manager seems to go through an intialization step each time that takes several seconds before I can even hit the "print" button.
I have been trying to lighten the load that Ubuntu uses on my RAM and processor, and decided to try LXDE, as it is the lightest-weight DE that I have tried and liked. I noticed I didn't have any wireless connectivty under LXDE, so I checked the LXDE site for the solution, and it said to download and install LXNM, which supports wireless connections. Unfortunately, installing LXNM (apt-get install lxnm) also uninstalled nework-manager, and network-manager-gnome, on top of lxnm not working properly, and stranding me without any way of reinstalling the OS, and without an internet connection (I can't connect with a wired connection, either). Is there anything I can do, aside from reinstalling?
I am a ubuntu user and recently install kubuntu desktop in to it.In the ubuntu I am using gnome network manager which is very user friendly to connect Internet.But when I log to kubuntu I am getting headache due to that unfriendly network manager.Stillcouldn't connect to Internet in kubuntu.I heard that we can install gnome network manager tokubuntu. I go through several documentation in Internet and tried for that.And they all failed.most of the document describe to install it via online.But I cant connect to Internet through kubuntu.Is there any way to do that.Can I do it off-line or can I do it through Ubuntu(can I use Ubuntu synaptic package manager or terminal to install gnome network manager to Kbuntu ).If can how to do it.I am new to linux.
Using Network manager, I have been able to use my Aircard to get on the internet. However, many times, the connection is dropped after a short time (<1min), I can reconnect after waiting about another minute. After going through this cycle a couple of times, the aircard stays connected. Since Network Manager doesn't use the "normal" config files for network interfaces I have been chasing my tail trying to figure out what is going on.
Have recently added a router to my system Linksys Model BEFSR41. Now, I can connect to the internet with the aircard but firefox will not find the internet unless I disconnect from the router. Some website have stated that Network Manager is not meant for wired networks - not sure why since there is clearly a tab for that.
In any event, I would like to get rid of Network Manager and just use more normal config files for my networking. Before I delete Network Manager, I want to make sure I can access the internet through the aircard. Does anyone know how to do this? I've tried PON with various settings but don't seem to be able to get anywhere. No DSL, cable or other inet connections in my neighborhood. Aircard is my only (affordable) option.
How do I disable certain updates in the update manager? I don't want to install the open office uno runtime environment because I installed the rpm packages from the open office website. This update corrupts my installation of open office and I always have to reinstall it.
I am having a weird problem where if I don't touch the mouse or keyboard after logging on, the power manager settings are being ignored. I disabled turning off the display and screen saver from the Gnome utilities, but after about 20 minutes my screen blanks and my wireless network connection gets disconnected. This is on an HTPC, so I'm usually not near the mouse or keyboard, and unfortunately button presses from the remote control don't count. Media players like MPlayer will prevent the screen from blanking, but if I'm listening to music (where the music is served over the network from another computer), this means that the screen will go blank and the music playback will freeze as the network connection is lost. If I touch the keyboard just after booting it doesn't blank the screen or disconnect my wireless, but when I forget it's very disruptive.
I am running Debian Testing (Squeeze) with a Gnome desktop environment. I'm using gdm3 to log in, but I have it set up to automatically log me on. (I use gdm on my desktop, also with Squeeze, with it configured to show login screen instead of automatically logging me on and it still displays that behavior) I have attempted the following to resolve this issue to no avail:
Disable DPMS for my screen and monitor in /etc/X11/Xorg.conf Set all the timeouts for blanking, power down, etc. to 0 in /etc/X11/Xorg.conf Flat out disabling the DPMS extension. (so it's still blanking, even if it's not actually turning on power saving mode) Putting "xset s off" in ~/.xinitrc Disabling powersave with setterm in ~/.xinitrc Removing gnome-screensaver and gnome-power-manager from the startup items.
Edit: Actually, the wireless issue seems to not be related. It disconnected again, and after some searching with the error message I saw in dmesg, it looks like others have been having the same issue. It seems to have been coincidental that it was acting up when I was testing the screen blanking issue, and hasn't given me as much trouble lately, so it seemed like it was correlated.
I have a dell insp 1545 windows7-ubuntu9.10 dual boot. the linux os would not activate the wireless network function in the network manager (but the cricket broadband was being detected and was in fact active). well, i did a little looking around and found another network mgr (wicd?, i think it's called... or something like that) and installed it. IT is working, but now the cricket broadband is down, which is my mainstay internet connection right now. i'm thinking that maybe it's got something to do w/the flipflop.sh function but that's just a wild guess.
I don't want my wireless network card to be automatically enabled in Network Manager when I start my computer. I keep setting it to disabled in Network Manager but when I reboot Network Manager has re-enabled it again.
Is there some way of starting with wireless disabled until I tell Network Manager to enable it?
I am completely new to linux an have read the replies to similar questions but am unsure of how to access the directory mentioned ~/.gconf/system/networking .I also do not have a system recovery disc or flash drive
In the murky world of X11, window managers, session managers and desktop environments I cannot seem to figure out how to achieve the following in Squeeze:
1. Leave Gnome installed, but prevent it from launching when typing startx 2. Have both X11 and my prefered default window manager (blackbox) startup when I type startx (or similar)
My ultimate goal is to leave Gnome installed but "dormant" and when I do a remote ssh -X be able to use X11 forwarding with blackbox.
I am a user or consumer of Knoppix 5.1 and Knoppix 6.2, I see in 6.2 version a very usefully tool, an icon in task bar thats help my internet connection in auto, even if I use a mobile modem like Huawei E160, I only select a 'Auto Mobile Broadband (GSM) connection' and, voila, internet is active. Into version 5.1 don't exist this option. I need to find packages like network-manager.... and all relatives and install in 5.1 in correct order to success.
I have Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome. Whenever I put in a blank CD/DVD an icon on the desktop appears named "Blank CD/DVD" and a window appears asking me what I want to do with it. How do I disable the window and the icon from the desktop?
I'm using KDE 4.5 with Ubunthu 9.04 installed Laptop. The problem occurs when I'm going to connect internet with my Huawai E160 dongle. The network manager program didn't identify my dongle so I can't connect to the internet. I have create a broadband connection in network manager program.
I can connect to internet with GNOME desktop since dongle is detect and I can create a Broadband connection and connect to the internet.
How do I activate static DNS for mobile broadband. I can't find any place to write down this information. Settings are made in Network Manager - not Yast.
I've not found how to configure more than one ip address with network manager.Nor with kde nor with plasmoid network manager.I need several virtual ip addresses for eth0 when the "default" of eth0 is connected i.e. "Connected to Auto eth0" should initialize the virtual interfaces.I have not found no even how to configure the ip address.I think this will be used from ifup config in yast or not?There I have the virtual interfaces but they are not taken from network manager.And last but no least: Is it possible that when using network manager the eth0 is enabled even no user has logged in?
