OpenSUSE Install :: Live USB OpenSUSE 11.2 Cannot Connect Wirelessly
Dec 14, 2009
I have a non-broadcast network (ad-hoc?) that I attempt to connect to via openSUSE 11.2 running off live USB. It does nothing. It never connects and when I view it with available networks it just shows the name and "insecure" (even though it's WPA2Personal) and no percentage.How do I get wireless to work?
I am running openSUSE 11.2 and just recently my network has been down. I'm using Gnome, but using Yast to configure my network (I'm usually forced to use wireless as I travel a lot on my laptop). Usually, when I'm connected to a wireless network, it will show up as so in the Gnome start menu, but recently, it will only say Wired there, even though I have nothing connected to my ethernet jack. I can connect wirelessly to a home router, but cannot use the wireless in any other way. I have tried manually disabling the ethernet connection to no avail. Unfortunately I am limited in my linux knowledge, so I am kinda stuck here.
I successfully booted OpenSuse 11.2 from DVD. But I could not configure my wireless internet connection. YAST said it couldn't configure it because something else was controlling that (Network Manager? something like that)How can I configure this. Related issue. When booting from DVD is there a way to save configuration settings so I don't have to start from scratch the next time I boot from DVD?
I am unable to connect to my printer wirelessly. I get this: Idle - "Connecting to printer..." The computer never connects. I can print a configuration report and get the ip address. If I type that in a webrowser, I get an error: unable to connect. Even if I plug the printer into the computer by a usb, I am unable to access the printer's ip address in the webrowser. I'm not sure how to proceed on getting the printer working wirelessly. It is a hp 6940 I use the HP Deskjet 6940 Series hpijs, 3.10.2rc1.9 driver. I have only recently been having printer problems. The printer has been hooked up on the same network for years. It still prints via usb.
I have a SONY PCG-R505TE laptop with an external CD/DVD, it connects via what I think is a PCMCIA card, the drive came with the laptop and functions fine. I currently have Windows XP running on this laptop, but it's very slow.I downloaded openSUSE-11.3-GNOME-LiveCD-i686.iso and sucessfully burned it to a CD.I have the laptop bios set to boot from CD, and it appears to be doing that no problem. When it boots I first see the welcome screen, then the openSUSE Installer, whether I select the Live (GNOME) option, or the Installation.. it loads the kernel, and then loads the KIWI boot systemit is on the third event, waiting for CD/DVD dvices to appear... that something seems to fail... I then see Failed to detect CD/DVD or USB drivethen a rebootexception and it reboots in 120 seconds.
i tried to connect whit this key on opensuse 11.3 but i can't the device is recognized i start to connect it and the system show me "activating" but the light never comes blue , it's always green and it's impossible go to internet i use kde..
I downloaded the latest OpenSUSE LIVE CD and burnt it with Nero at 4x speed and there was no errors.
I booted the CD up and I hit Run Live CD, I come to errors
ID "1" Respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes ID "2" Respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes ID "3" Respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes ID "4" Respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes ID "5" Respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes ID "6" Respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes
I am not sure what to do as I want to use OpenSUSE,
I have made many attempts at getting the live CD to boot from a usb key with no success. I have read the various tutorials, including a kiwi method. There seems to be something missing.
What (and where) is the executable file that boots the system? I used the Imagewriter to create my key. It has a syslinux.conf file but I see no executable called syslinux. I see nothing in the boot folder that is executable either.
The tutorial that has the imagewriter method has little detail. The kiwi tutorial has exquisite detail but it applies to kiwi and I can't figure out how to "translate" it. There must be something very simple that I am missing. I tried this on 2 different machines and it failed 2 different ways.
way to install applications onto a OpenSuse Live DVD. For example I want to install Sophos for Linux onto a Live DVD so that a disk less PC can be booted from CD and then used to scan other CDs or USB keys. The Sophos product is not distributed in RPM format and so SuSE Studio won't work.
ok after pouring over the internet for the last three days i give up and im asking for help i just did a live upgrade on my suse box taking it from 11.1 to 11.2 and fallowed all the steps in the doc it all went fine except after it was finished i can no longer access the internet
Code: dracula:~ # ping google.com ping: unknown host google.com dracula:~ # ping 4.2.2.2 PING 4.2.2.2 (4.2.2.2) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 4.2.2.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=57 time=12.3 ms
[Code]...
so i know the internet will pass throw it but it will not reslove the hostnames in links ping or zypper
When trying to run the Live version of OpenSuSE 11.0 from a CD, I can run from the command line, only. No graphics at all. No error messages. Tried some of the other suggested fixes on other threads, but nothing worked. The machine in an old HP OmniBook.
What I really want to do is reformat the HDD and install OpenSuSE on it, but the machine has no DVD drive, so I downloaded an iso image of the live version of 11.0 and burned a bootable CD. It boots, but I can get no X-Window, or the KDE desktop. I'd really like to convert this old machine from Windows 98 to Linux, but seem to have hit a brick wall.
Recently I have strange problem in my notebook HP2230s. I cannot boot from KDE 4.4 Live cd. I also try LXDE openSUSE 11.2 live cd, same result. I verify the MD5 and all the iso download is ok. I try the same cd to another laptop, Dell ATG, it works flawlessly.
So I thought there is a problem with my laptop BIOS. I download the new BIOS from HP and install it but the problem persist.
I have another live cd image that I made using susestudio, no problem with this one. I can boot it as live cd in my notebook.
I have netbook and i have been trying to install OpenSUSE from USB the thing is installing from USB with Mint, I could install. I have been using FUSB, liveusb-creator3.9.2, unetbootin and Univeral-USB-Installer-v1.7.2 is there any other way to install OpenSUSE onto my Netbook which does not have CD/DVD-rom?
I'm trying to boot the KDE 11.3 Live CD and it hangs during the boot. With splash=off I see
Code: /etc/initscript: line 77: /etc/sysconfig/ulimit: Input/Output error then a bunch of different Id numbers, for example...
Code: INIT Id 4 respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes and finally a few lines starting with a number (for example [100.676357]) and ending with
Code: [100.676357] lost page write due to I/O error on loop 0 and then it just loops between the respawn and write errors, as far as I can tell.
My system has a 1.8Hz processor, 1G of RAM and an integrated nVidea GeForce 6150 card, and I'm dual booting sidux and XP. I've checksummed the ISO file. I tried first with a 1G USB drive (Transferring the ISO via dd as per the openSUSE instructions) and then with a CD (burned at the lowest speed). I also tried the CD on a Gateway laptop running just XP and got the same errors. Boot parameters I tried were noapic, pci=nomsi, acpi=off, with no difference.
I'm working on making a system in suse studio, but I can't get into the GUI through normal means (as in using the live DVD) because it gives me a console. When i type "startx" i get an error based on signal 11 (or something)
I type kdm, and nothing happens. What should I do?
(p.s, this is with the USB raw image "burned" on. The DVD needs me to use no APIC)
I've just downloaded and burned openSUSE-LXDE-11.4 and i tried to boot on the live cd but it's impossible. After loading kernel, 2 or 3 minutes later, this message is displayed and the pc reboots:
waiting for /usb device scan to complete waiting for CD/DVD device(s) to appear waiting for USB device scan to complete failed to detect CD/DVD or USB drive! reboot exception: error consoles at Alt-F3/F4 reboot exception: reboot in 120sec
I am trying to create an usb install from an gnome-live cd. All I have done is not working:
dd fedora liveusb-creator fusbi linuxlive usb creator unetbootin pendrive
All I can get are errors saying cang find kernel or error like that. I have used linux and windows environment. The iso I am using is fine, I am sure because I have instaled it on two pcs. Iso gnome-live >> usb (bootable to install)
I've recently installed redhat 9 and I'm trying to connect to the internet using a wireless card. I'm able to connect to the network and get to the router webpage @ 10.0.0.1 But whenever I open firefox to connect to web the page/server cannot be found error.
I tried going to terminal and using route add default gw 10.0.0.1 but still doesn't work
I am not able to get wireless internet working on Ubuntu 10.04. I have a Wireless PCI card, Netgear WG311v2.I can't connect to the router, even though I downloaded the Windows drivers using Ndiswrapper.
I am running Jaunty, and trying to connect my TV to my PC wirelessly. Can anyone suggest a PCI card that I can use for this job that will work out of the box ?
After years of neglecting to get into Linux (for no real reason other than being lazy and decently content with Windows), I've not been shoved head first into the Linux world due to a Linux class I am taking. I've only been in the class for two weeks, so sorry about my lack of Linux knowledge! Anyway, I've downloaded and installed Ubuntu (using wubi, off of Windows 7 on a Sony Vaio VPCF1) and I'm having a few problems.
The main problem is that I can't connect wirelessly to the internet. Using ethernet works great, but I need to be able to take my laptop to class so I need to figure out how to get this working. The only thing I've tried was to check System> Admin> Hardware (or something along those lines?) to see that it said I have no peripherals connected. I don't even know if that is the right place to start, again.. The next problem is that the mouse-pad does not work. This is not a huge problem as I have a wireless USB one that works great, but still something I'd love to learn how to fix, if only for the knowledge of how to.
After that... is it possible to change resolution in Linux? I assume yes, how? And final question! Is this all something to do with wubi? Would it be better to do a dual boot with Windows 7, or would that even make much of a difference?
Have Ubuntu 10.10 and have ASUS USB-N13 to connect to my Cisco Valet Plus. I have downloaded .inf files and have the adapter blinking and the wireless network recognized by Ubuntu with strong signal, but as soon as I get message 'connection established' and I try to open Firefox I get error message 'Server not found'. I have used WIcd Network manager and WiFi Radar, but still unable to connect.
I've got a Linksys WRT54G v2.2 and a SmartAX MT882 modem I can connect to the Internet by connecting a Ethernet cable from the computer to the router but not wirelessly. I did the following to get it setup from my computer, can anyone see what I may have missed?Now connect the MT882 Ethernet cable directly into one of the WRT54G's LAN ports. Now once the computers are connected they will ask for an IP address and the WRT54G will forward them to the MT882's DHCP server for an address and thus you will get multiple computers through wireless connected to the MT882 and the Internet.
I am having problems connecting to my Fedora machine wirelessly. What i mean is that if i try to access samba \192.168.1.93 rb while connected to my wireless network i can't connect.The only way I can connect to this machine is if i connect my laptop directly into the router then i can successfully connect.Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? The strange this is i used to could connect wirelessly.
I am trying to make a liveUSB(my DVD drive run out monthes ago), I use this iso image: openSUSE-11.1-KDE4-Reloaded-LiveCD.x86_64-4.3.1-Build4.1.iso I just cp the file in the iso into the usb, and cp the L : ootx86_64loader*.* into my usb, mv the isolinux.cfg into syslinux and run with syslinux command to install the bootloader. and boot with my usb drive,get Error: ..

Trying to booting an Acer TM 8371 Notebook using USB flash media and the openSUSE-11.2-KDE4-LiveCD-x86_64 image.
After the BIOS greeting messages nothing more happens. System seems to hang. When removing the USB memory stick the system continues on trying to boot from the hdd.
When using the openSUSE-11.2-NET-x86_64 image, system detects the USB stick properly and retrieves it's ip address. Since there is no PXE system set up, installation of course stops thereafter.
What's the difference between both images? I recognized that when using the openSUSE-11.2-KDE4-LiveCD-x86_64 image a partition with type linux is created on the USB stick. When using the openSUSE-11.2-NET-x86_64 image fdisk says:
"Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table".
I tried running the live cd of opensuse 11.2, everything works ok except all the text is microscopic, I can't see any thing to change any settings, I did mange to read that it had the right screen resolution under a icon of a display, this happens with Kubuntu to, Ubuntu and PCLinux work fine.I tried changing what I thought was the resolution settings but got the old black screen and signal out of range etc, is this just the live cd that causes this. Also is there a way to reboot if things go blank or freeze when running live cd's,
