Sometimes the options "Create Network Connection" and "enable wireless" are greyed out. Other times they are fine. What is the secret to getting the options to appear in my window tray all the time? I always select knetwork manager as the default when I do a clean build.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I select the wifi icon on the panel, it just shows "No network devices available". I know my network can be found when I search with my iPhone, so I know there are networks to connect to. So, I checked the drivers, and it informs me that the B43 and STA drivers are not activated. So thats not a big deal, I guess, but when I use my ethernet cord, my laptop doesn't recognize/acknowledge (I'm not sure what the right term would be)it. I'm fairly sure I can't activate these drivers without an internet connection because when I do try, a message pops up saying "failed to fetch" with some long link.
My only guess is that it could be a hardware problem, but I really have no idea. I guess the ethernet problem is my only real problem. Because after I establish and internet connection the the rest is easy to fix.I'm sure its obvious, but I'll go ahead say that I'm a novice ubuntu user. I've only been working with it for about a week, but I'm learning alot.
I have to implement hardware redundancy.I have 2 linux machine for this and each have similar configuration/hardware. Lets say two machine Linux1 and Linux2. Currently Linux1 have one NIC and it has 4 IP address bind on it. Now I have to down the Linux1 and up Linux2 with same Ip addresses.
Could it possible to configure all the Ip (same)address on both Linux1 and Linux2 and Linux1 have eth:x status UP while Linux2 have eth:y status down.
I am trying it but on Linux2 machine I cant able to create multiple Ip interfaces with down status.
I am trying to design an application which violates the DHCP. Specifically the difficulty in writing this application is physically sending the raw packet. I need some documentation on either a library that supports this or where to look for support for raw packet creation. I am not trying to create a raw datagram, that doesn't meet my needs because a raw datagram is still at layer 3 I need to craft a raw layer 2 PDU.
Specifically I want to
Send a very specific DHCPDISCOVER
Receive a DHCPOFFER
and pull apart the offer while never sending a DHCPREQUEST.
Specifically I am pulling apart various options that are sent in the DHCPOFFER. I have a raw DHCPDISCOVER already crafted and the formatted struct sockaddr_ll where I fault is I can't send the damn thing. Getting the file descriptor after calling socket is okay but what now? How would I write to that file descriptor and have it transmit?
Code:
int connfd;
struct sockaddr_ll bcast;
bcast.sll_family = PF_PACKET;
...
connfd = socket(PF_PACKET,SOCK_RAW,0);
//now what
Every time my wifi auto connects it gives me a strange message:
At the same time it makes a new network entry, overlapping the one previous:
It's usually a battle with the wifi and my re enabling the correct setting over and over and over again. Is there a fix for either the mysterious lack of selection in the first message, or a way to force it to use the correct one without making another?
I'm running KDE, with 11.2 32-Bit. At first, my screen saver worked just fine, coming on after 130 min, being just long enough to watch a movie. Since changing the screen saver, but not the duration before activation my screen saver comes on every 20 min. I have tried changing and saving settings in YaST and going back to the original choice of screensaver, neither of which have worked.

Does anyone know a way to force a driver activation, or driver install from the command line in recovery mode?Even better, is there a way to force a driver installation from the "(initramfs)" prompt?We're having problems installing the drivers for a PNY GeForce FX 5200 256MB 128-bit DDR PCI Video Card. It goes straight to the "(initramfs)" prompt with the new card installed and, without the card installed it won't allow any drivers to be activated via Administration>Hardware drivers.

You see, I have only a few minutes left on this Library Computer, as it took me1/2 an hour to realize that this is the BEST!! site for me. Or so this is my present understanding eh. Ohhh, ok, ok, now you know. I don't know why all the hosers say I'm slow just because I'm a Canadian eh. I mean, I have other reasons too. Anywhere from head traumas, to my High school days when I learnt how to smoke things that we never smoked at the Private Christian School I went to. No NO, I'm 40 now, and even though my Doctor suggested for me to smoke Legalized Marijuana for pain, I told him no way Dr ..., too paronoid! Then the anti went up, so I split and got myself a new Doctor.
PLEASE help me anyone that can! I just spent most of my few minutes trying to introduce my Canadian humor eh. And yes it's true. Humor may not be the original way going back to the early Brits. But we have our reasons. It just looks so much better.
I have Bonobo-activation-Server in my precious, well it was a precious dual system that a complete Newbie like me with the only skills of one with a decade of Windows. Plus remember the Canadian issue eh. I need to somehow dissconnect bonobo from my Ubuntu system. Even using my 8.10 which I now have to use, in my CD DRive, they still are hooked up to me, using my memory, partitions, drives, stealing my root.

This laptop that I am trying to get Debian 5 working on is occasionally locking up during boot at "Activating Swap..." WTF could cause such a bizarre thing? The swap partition is just empty space. Activating must be nothing more than confirming it exists and mounting it.

So, I edited xorg.conf to use "nv" driver. Then, login screen worked fine. Activated latest Nvidia driver (v195.36.15) and now login screen is garbled, possibly frozen. I can't CTRL+ALT+F1. No mouse, no keyboard as far as I can tell. Have to hold power button to shutdown

I installed Linux 6, configured the network during the install with a static IP and when I do an ifconfig command it doesn't show an IP Address. Can't get out to the Internet because I don't think I have an IP/Address. I restarted network, went into preferences-network connections and everything looks fine, ran system-config-network and everything looks fine. When I do an ipup ifcfg-eth0 and get the message "Connection activation failed: Device not managed by NetworkManager". Is there an option I failed to load at install or I need to install now?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy Karmic installation has two problems regarding screen saver activation:
1) VLC is set to deactivate the screen saver during playback, but the screen saver activates anyway.
2) Sometimes, when NOT running VLC, the screen saver doesn't activate itself at all. I've set it to 5 minutes, but after 5 minutes of inactivity, nothing happens. This ALWAYS occurs while running a java web applet, and SOMETIMES also occurs when no software is running at all.
I've googled this to death, but can't find any information relevant to this problem.
I installed RHEL 5 skipping the activation key during installation step.
How do I enter the activation key after system is installed?
Is entering activation key really essential?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running ubuntu server 10.10 64 bit.
1. Set quota in /etc/fstab like this:
/dev/sdb1 /var/www reiserfs defaults,usrquota 0 2
2. Checked quotas:
# quotacheck -cavm
quotacheck: Your kernel probably supports journaled quota but you are not using it. Consider switching to journaled quota to avoid running quotacheck after an unclean shutdown.
3. Tried to activate quotas using "quotaon -a" and got a segmentation fault error.
When I change filesystem to ext3 (using mkfs.ext3 and changing /etc/fstab) it works well. So there are 2 problems, quotacheck warning about journaled quota and the segmentation fault error.
I'm running Fedora 14 and set the screensaver (in System>Preferences on the Gnome GUI) to activate after the computer is idle for 30 minutes. After the screensaver is activated, and a press a key or the mouse, the screen is back to normal -- no problem.After the screensaver has been activated once, however, it comes back on very quickly -- usually in 2 or 3 minutes if the computer is idle. The only way I have found to correct this (and set activation back at 30 minutes again) is to log out and back in again.How can I correct this, and automatically set screensaver activation back at 30 minutes each time the normal screen is reactivated?

But when I try to use NetworkManager it says that I have no network connection because the network isn't managed, (I set the settings in ifcfg-br0 and ifcfg-eth0 to be managed)

I have windows vista 32bit oem that originally came with DELL system when I bought new. On the PC, MS$ sticker has the product key for windows vista.When I reformatted the disk and re-install windows vista natively on the machine for which it was licensed, it got automatically activated and passed MS$ genuine check. But I got into problems when using windows vista as guest os from fedora 13 host os using virtualbox on exactly same machine for which vista is licensed for. I go that MS$ : x -days to automatic activation, activate now link. Clicking on activate now it says invalid product key even I entered correct product key as it is on the PC.
I tried to create new windwos vista guest os 2 ways:
1) using existing native installation of windows vista by using vmware converter to create vmware disk image of the running windows vista and shutting down and log back into fedora 13 used this disk image as the storage in virtualbox and create windows vista guest. It starts up ok except for that activation issue.
2) using the windows vista dvd and using that as the source for new windows vista installation in virtualbox. All fine except got that activation issue.After killing my 2 days just for this I dont know whats next. Does that not make sense that I have a license for using windows vista on this specific pc, I am entitled to install it on that same pc as virtual or native or even both ways ?
This link: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/bott/vista-vi icture/360 says starting with service pack 1 MS$ now allows virtual installation of windows oem. My native installation was updated to service pack 2 and I also updated the fresh dvd install of windows vista in virtualbox to service pack 1 and then service pack 2 but still no effect in regard to license activation.Did any one solved the problem in some way regarding this issue for windows vista, I would like to know.
With reluctance I installed JRipper from Packman to rip some CD's because the KDE apps (K3B 2 and Amarok 2) on my 11.3 x86 install dont want to rip. Albeit a good ripping app I would like the KDE apps to work as intended.
K3b2 and K3b2 codecs packages are from Packman 11.3 x86 version. Amarok 2.3.1 is from the 11.3 x86 update apps openSUSE repro. LAME and transcode are also from Packman.
I want to automatically allow all users read execute or write permissions on everything created by a specific user, is this possible? For example user Wendy creates an office doc, saves it on a shared folder. Then another user (usually windows log into this folder and wants to edit this file and cannot. I know I can edit the permissions on this particular doc to allow all users, but I want this to happen by default so I don.t have to keep changing permission on each doc....
