I am a newbie in Slackware. This is my first try to make working system on slackware. I made internet connection by help netconfig. Internet is working but not always. To example I try download page but it doesn't. I push Update page .. and one more time Update page and after 3-4 times my page is downloaded. When I work with windows on this computer, I don't have any problem.
View 3 RepliesI've reinstalled Slackware 4 times today because of things I've messed up along my way, after upgrading the linux kernel I've had issues with getting back to desktop, so I'm on a clean slate right now with the exception of installing wicd. I need help since wireless is not working.. My wireless worked fine out of the box with Ubuntu,I don't understand why it is not working now... Using Slackware 13.1, Kernel 2.6.33.4
Code:
bash-4.1# ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
[code]....
I am trying to connect my desktop to my laptop over a non-internet connected LAN, but when i enable the LAN connection on my desktop (the one with the wireless) its internet stops working.
it is a very similar problem to this except that i am using ubuntu for the machine with the two connections.
right now i have my wireless on the 192.168.1.* address space, while the LAN is to be on 192.168.5.*
note: my goal is not to share internet with my laptop, just be able to connect to it and the internet at the same time.
desktop: ubuntu 9.10 , wireless and LAN
laptop: windows xp, LAN only
I recently installed ubuntu on my mom's computer but I can't get the mouse to move trough the touch pad and I suspect the USB is not working either, because I can't get anything to work trough the USB, and the Internet is not working trough the cable, and I think wireless as well. Her computer is an old acer aspire 3000

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a strange problem for internet. My clients (winxp - S2) can't get internet.Let me explain my scenerios. Fedora 10 with lan (eth0) having direct internet from dsl model, client (XP service pack 2) can use samba shares using dhcp (wlan0) installed in Fedora 10 box. client can ping my linux box.Now problem is: client (dosbox) can ping the google ip address (i.e ping 74.125.39.106) but can't use 'ping www.google.com'. That means ping with ip works for internet from my client. My linux box can. I can use internet from FC10 but can't use iexplorer from my client to have internet. I have enable ipmasquarding in Firewall and dhcpd is running on wlan0 for dynamic ip address of my clients.Can someone suggest me what kind of problem having I? What should i do to success iexplorer for internet? what possibly am i missing?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been looking around the forums searching for similar problems, it seems not only me had this problem. About a month ago I did a regular update via Upd Manager. The next day - no wired connection.Still managable, since the local library has wireless. Now that won't work either.Just after I upgraded from Jaunty, I accidentally removed NetwMngr from the top right corner of the screen, but that should not have anything to do with how the program works, right? I now cannot reach NM, if I run it from the terminal, nothing happens visibly.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Latitude D530 Laptop (500 GB HDD). Installed Windows XP and then Ubuntu 10.10 to do dual boot. everything works fine in Windows XP.In Ubuntu 10.10 I had issues connecting to Internet(Through Wirelss), I was able to rectify this issue by dsiable ipv6 from firefox about:config and setting true to network.dns.disableIPv6. After this I was able to connect to internet and browse websites from Firefox.But I am having Issues with Evolution Mail(Connection Timed Out) and Google Talk Client(Connection Timed Out).Empathy Internet Messaging gets connected fine.I was wondering if I will have to disable IPv6 System wide and hence I added the following lines to /etc/sysctl.conf
#disable ipv6
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1

I'm trying to bring my Slackware system back to life as my XP HDD is dying... I've got everything working except for my audio. I got a new motherboard (ASRock P43DE3) and it has a VIA VT1708S as the onboard audio. Is there any way I can get this working without rebuilding the kernel?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently bought the Alfa AWUS036h which uses the Realtek rtl8187 chipset. I am able to load the module and connect to any network, but its almost as soon as I try to load a page the connection drops. It never stays connected for more than 30 seconds. My other computers using the same adapter in the same spot work fine, unfortunately there not running slackware. I've tried compiling the newest stable kernel and checked the rd.inet1.conf settings.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm having some trouble getting my new copy of slackware connected to the internet. I'm new to slackware, so I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting. So far, I've run netconfig and tried to set up a DHCP and a Static-IP connection, both to no avail. I know my internet connection is working since I'm currently using the same box with a hard-drive that has crunchbang on it. I've read chapter 5 of the slackbook up to the section on PPP and have thus far gotten lost in my /etc/rc.d folder looking at lottsa neat files.
Using ifconfig -a gives me information about an eth0, an eth1, and a lo connection thing. From what I understand from the book, this means that slackware has registered my network card but does not have the right configuration necessary to connect.
I tried getting information about my connection from crunchbang, which was as simple as right-clicking a certain icon and copying down my interface, hardware address, driver, speed, security, ip address, broadcast address, subnet mask, default route, and primairy DNS. Since setting up DHCP didn't work after startup, I assumed I was using static I.P. I put in my IP address, mask, default route, and DNS, but it has not yet connected.
I can't connect to Internet on Slackware. I've blacklisted the modules rt2800usb, rt2x00usb and rt2x00lib in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf.

I installed slackware on my pc and before i had internet (last time) But i have run networkconfig and nothing has changed. If anybody could help that would be awesome. Is there something i can do different from when i install.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to make an install of Slackware 13 connect to the internet using an Ethernet card plugged into an Ethernet to wireless converter to use 802.11g. The converter makes it like plugging any Ethernet card directly into my internet gateway/router after the converter is set up to access it once. It works for the same computer when using Windows ME installed on another partition or booting an Ubuntu 8.04.3 live cd. It also works plugging the same converter into another computer with Windows XP. So I doubt the converter is the problem.
I I've checked in rc.modules-2.6.29.6-smp under the Ethernet card section and everything was commented out. In Windows ME it said my Ethernet card is en1207d-tx. Some Googling of that led me to trying to un-comment out /sbin/modprobe 8139too then failing that /sbin/modprobe tulip with no help. I then pulled the card out and the chip said MPX en5038a1. I couldn't determine any other lines to try un-commenting out from that so I put in a 3com 3c905-tx and un-commented out /sbin/modprobe 3c59x with no help.
I should mention that through Googling I came across something that says if the Ethernet card's address starts with 169.254 "it is not connected OR there is no device on your network giving out automatic IP addresses". I went into K Info Center > Network Interfaces with the MPX card in and 169.254 is what it started with by eth0. I looked after putting in the 3com and there was no eth0 at all. I reinstalled the whole Slackware 13 OS then looked again. It showed the 3com card and it also started with 169.254 .
Also, I tried the network setup during installation and netconfig after with no luck.
Through the use of a long phone line cable, I just tried to boot into Slackware 13 and use Firefox while the computer was connected to the gateway directly with an Ethernet cable with no luck.
I wanted to try Slackware on VMware just so I would know what it is and the differences between it and others. I installed it in VMware, and I am having two problems:
1. X does not start automatically for some reason.
2. I can't make the internet work. I tried typing knetworkmanager in terminal, but it tells me there is no such command. Then, I typed ifconfig in terminal, and it told me that wasn't a command either.
Did I install something wrong, or does Slackware KDE come with nothing in it?
I installed slackware 13 in virtualbox (full installation), but I have not internet (ADSL). I tryed adsl-setup, but there aren't that commant. Tryed pppoe-setup, netconfig, but again I have not connection. Where is the problem? And I have one more question about Fluxbox. I have not display, wallpaper, icons...only menus.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed slackware 13.1 to my laptop.I i use my e220 HSDPA usb dongle to connect internet.I previously i used ubuntu and it auto detected and connect to internet.But i could not connect with slackware .
I tried it and i got following output
Carrier detected. Waiting for prompt.
Don't know what to do! Starting pppd and hoping for the best.
But its not connecting to internet.
So this has been going on for weeks now. Usually doesnt happen till friday-saturday. My internet breaks down on slackware, im able to play an online video game, and sometimes if i'm lucky, use pidgin to get on Gchat. However other than that, I cannot access the internet. I've tried multiple browsers, resetting my router, and resetting my modem. It's connected through an ethernet cord, and I am getting an IP from my router.
My first thought was that it was a bandwidth limit, but I'm at my house, on a windows computer typing this right now. I'm not an expert on bandwidth caps so maybe it is this. The weird thing is,I have a laptop running slackware as well. Even over wireless it doesnt work.
I'm new to slackware (and the forums) and I just installed it onto my laptop. I have previously used linux mint, and I like it but I feel that slackware might give me more experience with the terminal, and more original linux ideas. I have kde up and running as far as a window manager, and everything seems to work except connecting to the internet. I have a linksys router. I usually use wifi, but I even tried connecting through an ethernet cord and that didn't work either. I have searched many different threads, but either they didn't address my specific problem, or I couldn't understand what was going on. I tried to configure using "netconfig", but I didn't understand what many of the prompts wanted. I entered a name and a domain name, and selected DHCP, but this did nothing.
View 18 Replies View Relatedim kind of a novice at this type of thing, but i've gotten into it alot lately (coding that is) I was wondering how i might go about making a boot process that automatically connects to the internet. I've currently got a boot script that connects me to my home network, but will fail if I'm at work/school. so i was thinking there had to be a way to list all possible network connections, and then pick out one of them and automatically connect.Almost completely new to the world of linux.Im running slackware 13.1
I want to make a boot script that automatically identifies wireless networks in the area, and connects to one, I currently have a boot script that connects to my home network automatically but fails at work/schoool. So i figured theres got to be a way to identify networks, pluck one from the list, and use it.
I have a dual boot Linux system with Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 and Slackware 12.1. I have a USB modem Huawei 1261 that I am using with Ubuntu with the usb_modeswitch package. I would like to get that working with Slackware 12.1. The usb_modeswitch seems to be working fine and also the "wvdial cdma" seems to working but Firefox can't connect to the internet.
