Networking :: Fedora 13 NIC Not Active At Boot
Jun 15, 2010
Most of my experience configuring network settings has been through various GUI tools available in GNOME and KDE. I have some older hardware that will not run KDE or GNOME and I am trying to configure the NIC. I have installed Webmin to try to configure the interface, and it does fine for setting a static address or DHCP address, but the interface (eth0) is not active at boot.
As soon as I run ifup eth0, it will use the assigned IP or pull DHCP based on settings, but I can't seem to get it to automatically activate at boot. And yes, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 does have ONBOOT=yes set. I need two things...
1 - are there any good cli tools, ncurses or such like netcfg I can install to manage the interface (I have tried the network manager cli tools, maybe I just don't get it, but that isn't working so good for me)
2 - how to make the interface activate at boot.

I am trying to sort out some issues following an upgrade from F12.
I have eth0 as the connection I want to use. Prior to the upgrade, this connection was enabled and active at boot.
Now, for some reason after the upgrade it has to be manually enabled at every boot - even though when I go the Network tool, Ethernet Device > General tab - "Activate device when computer starts" is checked.
At every boot time it is inactive.
In all the ifcft-eth0 files, the ONBOOT parameter is set to "yes".

First time I installed Fedora 12 and I am new to Linux OS completely. The LAN (ethernet) is coming by default and it's status is inactive. When I click on icon, it tries to connect and then shows status still as inactive. Where as my internet works in Win XP. What do I do for making it active. Second, when I try to install xDSL package for my BSNL broadband, the package is not available. Where do I get this package?

Currently I am working at a college as a student worker, and one of the classes that needs to take place requires that Fedora 12 be installed. Now, this isn't greatly important, but so far on a few of the installs I cannot get the Ethernet device to actually become active. I've tried restarting the computer, reinstalling Fedora 12, and going into the actual network area to click on "Activate" but it is grayed out. So currently, a few machines cannot connect to the internet - including the professor station. I'm not entirely sure what to do here, since most other posts I have read reported that they were able to actually click on "Activate" and it would work.
Right now, the computers are connected to the internet. The jacks do work as they were tested with computers that are able to connect to the net themselves. These computers NICs do work too as we have separate hard-drives in them booting into XP, which do connect to the net without problem.Any help would be appreciated. If anymore information is required, please let me know. I'll do my best to provide you with this information.

Most of the time when I go back to my computer, eth0 has disconnected if left overnight or several hours, and takes around 30 secs to reconnect to my router, finding it a little annoying as the reason I leave the computer on is for quick access to the internet.My computer is connected to the router via an ethernet cable.Used Mandriva and Windows XP on this same hardware for awhile and never came across this.How do I keep the connection to the router active?

A couple of days ago I Obtained a spare computer and installed fedora 14 on it, just to try it out. I only have experience with microsoft windows so I'm new to this system. The OS seems to work fine but I can't browse the internet with firefox. I'm using a speedtouch 546 v6 modem with adsl(wired). The network manager indicates that the wired connection "auto eth1" is active. The previous OS was windows xp. I was able to browse the internet whit this OS. I removed it because it was crashing all the time (illegal version).

how to setup an Active/Active Load Balanced and High Available (If one of the nodes is down the system still runs) MySQL cluster. I have found quite a few howto's but I have some things unclear in my mind. I found a few solutions like this one: [URL] or this: [URK] Those are using two or four MySQL nodes, two Load Balancers to avoid a single point of failure but only one MySQL cluster management server. What happens if the MySQL cluster management fails?
I have also found a "MySQL Master-Master Circular Replication" technique but from what I read, with this option there is a chance that conflicts will arise if node A and node B both insert an auto-incrementing key on the same table.

After a long time, I hit the wall. I upgraded my server from Fedora Core 9 to 10 through yum. The first 2 days it worked happily but the 3rd day I started getting the feeling of being doomed. Bad Magic Block started haunting me and due to several services being failed, I had to restart the server. That was the last time I saw it alive.
During boot, my 34 LVM partitions are active but its not able to mount /dev/root. I did the checked the grub and its fine. I tried rescue CD but still can't utilize most of the lvm, vgscan, vgchange commands as it gives me same 'bad magic block' error. My /proc/partition and /sys/block shows me that only 3 out of 5 HDD are active. how to resurrect the OS?

I just did an apt upgrade and for the most part everything is looking good. However when I boot up I have no network connection. Here is the result of trying to ping google: connect: Network is unreachable
I can fix it easily with a simple sudo dhclient eth0 but I was hoping someone would be able to suggest a more correct and less annoying solution. I have uninstalled network manager. This is a desktop computer with an ethernet connection and DHCP. I do not need anything fancy.

I just replaced my RAM, and searched for the best way to do a memory test in Ubuntu. I ran across this page:
[URL]
...which says:
Quote:
Turn On or Restart the system Hold down Shift to bring up the GRUB menu. Use the arrow keys to move to the entry labeled Ubuntu, memtest86+ Press Enter. The test will run automatically, and continue until you end it by pressing the Escape key
Allow the test to run for at least one full pass
So I did exactly that. The GRUB menu appeared, but I had no keyboard control, and thus couldn't select anything. I've tried rebooting several times with different keyboards, and they all show 3 green lights at the very beginning of boot, but become unavailable by the time GRUB appears.
So I booted to a Live CD and the keyboard worked just fine inside that session. But it's still gone during boot. When I'm booting without a CD in the drive (booting to the internal HD as usual), it goes straight to the GRUB list, with no keyboard control, and I'm stuck indefinitely.
how to either bypass this stuck GRUB screen, or somehow restore normal keyboard functionality during early boot?

I have a 2 node Oracle cluster running on RHEL 5.4. One server went down the other day, and then restarted. Virtual IP address switched to the other node as it should, but did not switch back where the failed node came up - problem is the ip address is still on node 2, but I cannot see it or down the interface as it does not show up with ifconfig -a. I would expect to see it on eth0:2 but only eth0:1 is showing up with the correct vip for the node. ifconfig -a on node 1 shows n vip configured. I can telnet to this ip address and login, so know it is still on node 2, so why can't ifconfig -a show it, which interface is it on, and how do I remove it so I can get it back on node 1

But I have tried to configure pam basically by following this guide:http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/battista...nbind/pam.html
Yet when I try to su or login as an AD user I just get and immediate "Unknown id: <userid>".I have had a look at /var/log/auth.log and there are no errors there.Can anyone provide some tips on debugging the pam configuration?

I am running the Ubuntu Netbook Remix and setting up our systems for Active Directory Domain Authentication. When I am hard wired in (ethernet), AD authentication works with no problems using the Likewise-Open software (installed through Ubuntu Software Center). What I want to be able to do is have people authenticate with AD with only a wireless connection. Has anybody done this before?

After trying to make audio output work on Lenovo b560 notebook I finally succeeded but the wireless stopped working. The driver was removed. I tried to follow the instructions from Broadcom http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt and it started showing the driver in admin - drivers, it shows that it is activated but not in use, but once I get to this point
"modprobe wl"
it shows this:
install /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install wl
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.32-25-generic-pae/updates/dkms/wl.ko
FATAL: Error inserting wl (/lib/modules/2.6.32-25-generic-pae/updates/dkms/wl.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

I have successfully connected (and authenticated the user) from linux (Ubuntu) to Active Directory (windows 2003) using "Likewise Open".
1. at the login screen I have to enter "example.localusername" to login. how can I simplify the login so that the user can choose (click)the domain and just enter the username and password (like the login in windows) or make the domain the default.
2. how can I configure the default user profile? meaning, when the user login for the first time, I want to configure his profile. does it use the "/etc/skel" directory like the regular local login?

The scenario is I have a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller which runs ADUC. I have created some security groups which I would like to apply to my network shares. The problem is, the majority of my network shares are based on Open Suse machines which, although are part of the domain, when trying to configure the shares using SMB, do not allow me to select the Active Directory groups. Any solution which will allow me to use ADUC security groups?

I am trying to connect to my Company network through VPN. I use a Lynksys router which is most likely not the problem, as I can get the VPN and Remote Desktop to work from a WinXP Pro laptop connected to the same router. I have tried several RDC clients, none of them establish a connection. The VPN connection is active, I can ping and Traceroute to it , but I cannot get the RDC to work. The RDC should connect to 189.0.0.10 on the company network.

I recently purchased an Asus USB-N13 and am having some trouble getting it setup. I have followed this post [URL] including downloading the driver version, but I am now a little stuck. This is a laptop which used to have a Netgear Wg111v2 wireless USB adapter (laptop does not have internal wireless). That adapter died so I purchased the Asus. The day I purchased the Asus adapter they were both plugged in at the same time for a short period - not sure if that is relevant or not but just thought I should let you know. Here is some output from various commands:
lspci
Code:
ron@ron-laptop:~$ lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82855PM Processor to I/O Controller (rev 21)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82855PM Processor to AGP Controller (rev 21)
[code]....
I have restarted a couple of times with it plugged in and with it not plugged. At no time does it show in the Network Manager aplet.
