I'm looking for something that will graph my internet speeds. Not what I'm currently utilizing for bandwidth on any single machine or group of machines; what my internet is actually capable of.
Reason? I am with a garbage ISP that has overloaded their equipment. During peak times, I run speed tests and they're about .4mbps when I should be getting 6mbps. I'd be content with 4mbps. They keep telling me it's my firewall, but even when I bypass the firewall, I get the same results. They're telling me I'm crazy.
I would like something that will run 1 speedtest an hour and graph the results. I can handle the cron side, but I only know bash, which doesn't appear to be capable of this. Does anyone know of something already made that I could use under Ubuntu and/or CentOS?
I'm using a laptop and running a secondary monitor to my TV. My laptop has ATI HD 3400 video card. The TV has a higher resolution than the laptop's monitor. When the video is full screened on the TV, the actual video uses the resolution of the primary monitor and not the second.
For the past few months I have been tirelessly trying to get my Asus PCE-AC68 to run with my custom Debian 7 with kali-linux-full installed. I feel i have tried everything (5 or 6 times), and I am very close to the solution. I just need a separate set of eyes. I'm running ESXi 5.1 with Windows Server 2008 R2 to manage my domain controllers, active directory, and IIS server. Everything is running smoothly except for my penetration testing suite. I can get the device to enumerate and even show up on iwconfig, but I cannot get it to enter monitoring mode. I am almost sure it is a modprobe issue.
I'm finding that the internet speed in Ubuntu 10.04 is over twice as slow as the speeds that I am getting in Windows 7.I've tried disabling IPv6 through Grub and Firefox but it didn't really help much.. anything else I can try?Connecting through wireless at 54 Mbps.
I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 and I'm having problems with internet speeds on wifi. I have tried the two available networks on my university campus and both of them are very slow with 10.04. I'm not having problems with Windows 7 running on these networks. Although, the wired network works perfectly fine, with normal speeds. I've looked around for help but I could not find anything specific to this problem.
I have recently switched to Ubuntu 11.04 64bit from Windows 7. Since installing 11.07 I have experienced random disconnects, slow speeds and just overall poor performance from my ethernet card. Looking into the issue further I noticed that the driver installed for my NIC is "driver=r8169", but the actual NIC card is "product: RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller" which I think pretty much says I should be running the 8168 driver.
When I run lsmod I only see "r8169 " installed. How do I go about getting and installing the r8168 driver? I am pretty sure I just need to install this driver and then blacklist the r8169 in blacklist.conf. Any clarification would be great.
I've been using Ubuntu for a while (though I would not consider myself an "expert") and have just gone back to school. I live on campus and connect to the network through an ethernet cord. On Windows, the download speed is 1 Mb/s by default, but if you go through and configure the network card (turning off the auto-negotiation and setting the speed to 10, duplex full) the download speed will increase to 10 Mb/s, a considerable difference. So, I tried to do this in Ubuntu by opening the terminal and typing the following:
sudo ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 10 duplex full and all of a sudden, my computer isn't connecting to the internet. When I type: sudo ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on it suddenly starts working again.
Last week I attempted to get "up to speed" with my Comcast cable connection... Ubuntu 9.10, Dell Vostro 400 desktop, Firefox 3.6.13... Comcast says I should have 12 Mbps connection... if I get 1.0 Mbps, I'm doing good... they just tested everything, and said everything is fine on their end. They use [URL] and connects to a server in Chicago, 60 miles away. That gets fantastic speeds, and it's a durn shame the internet doesn't store all its files there!! I use [URL] for my tests, and it uses a server in Dallas TX.
I go to my girlfriends house, and her AT&T DSL line has d/l speeds of 4.5 Mbps or better!!! She's running XP Pro on a Dell machine. So, started digging on the web and thru the forums, and found this:
[URL]
But, like ALL too many things, it's dated... it's from 2008... I've set my settings to what is there, and disabled ipv6 in Firefox. Hey, now, I'm sometimes up to 1.4 Mbps!! Also found this, but no date...
[URL]
Reading forums, I see that folks have said there is a network connection problem with 9.10... and then I see that others are saying the same thing about 10.04 and 10.10!! I have 10.10 on my laptop and had to fight to get its Atheos card to be recognized. Running some tests [URL] gives me weird results: Download 2.64 Mbps, Upload 4.12 Mbps. NOT what it should be. Similar results from testmy.net.
Dunno exactly what info is needed... Speedguide.net gives me results below, but I've tried changing numbers (says my RWIN is low) and nothing changes:
-------------------------------- TCP options string = 020405b40402080adf1dca100000000001030306 MTU = 1500 MTU is fully optimized for broadband.
[code]....
So, today, find, once again, that I'm d'ling in the range of 90/KB/s (719 Kbps)... disgustingly slow. I go on my HP laptop and run the test, and it says 1.6 Mbps. So, desktop directly connected to router is not even 1 Mbps, and wireless connection is faster? Neither of which is close to what I should be getting...
Is there a way by which i can improve my Internet speed. I have a 100Mbps connection but the download speed is only 100kbps. I know that my ISP has limited by connection speed, but i am curious to try as to how i can get the maximum speed.
I have a little bit of a prediciment with my Mobile Broadband dongle, even though I know I'm in a 3G area (Dongle Supports 3G connection) my internet still loads at the normal GPRS speeds max of 5kb/s. Is there anyway to change the speed of it or do I have to keep with GPRS at the moment?
I need a software that monitors the total internet data-transfer since I use a limited data-transfer scheme. The USB modem that I have has a software but that works only with Windows. In spite of installing Wine, it doesn't monitor the data-transfer.
I am a user of Ubuntu 10.04 and I use Firestarter because it lets me know which IPs I am connected to, which ports are used, and which applications are using those ports. The problem is that I can't use Firestarter with my non-sudo account (well, I know that I can change my system settings to do that, but I'd rahther not do it).
So the question is: Is there any application that lets the user monitor the internet connection?
I'm looking for a simple way to monitor and log my internet bandwidth usage. Not total network device usage, just internet usage.Something that provides a simple chart of daily, monthly, and yearly usage, but ignoring all bandwidth on my internal LAN.I notice several possible tools, such as vnstat, ntop, iftop. Yet all of them seem focused on tracking the entire network interface. I want to ignore LAN usage. I do not really care about LAN bandwidth.iftop seems intended only for on-the-fly usage and not cumulative logging. I can't tell whether vnstat or ntop can be configured to log only internet usage rather than all traffic through the network device.
I do not want to log every connection like squid. The utility should only log stats on a daily basis, but also be able to display cumulative totals from those daily entries.I don't need DNS resolution, port monitoring, etc.I prefer something that runs in the background as a service or daemon, but can provide statistics quickly with a terminal window. All I want is to view total daily, monthly, and yearly internet usage. Perhaps even pipe the output to a local email each day too.
I have a 2 machine LAN with both machines having an ethernet card and a wireless card. There is a Netgear router, both eth and WiFi, allowing both machines to access the internet.
On my Linux machine I am looking for some software that allows me to keep track of my broadband usage on that machine, excluding traffic between the two machines.
There are numerous such programmes for this in XP, which use Winpcap and a GUI frontend. The "other" machine on my LAN is XP and uses just such a program.
I'm using ubuntu 11.04 and have a DSL connection straight from my local telephone (landline) provider.I need a ubuntu app, preferably a daemon/service (that I can start up on boot) that, in essence, can simply log to a file, on a per session basis (with timestamps of course), the bandwidth I use (download + upload bytes).
I'm not interested in logging site info etc., just want raw data usage so at the end of the month I can run some summary reports on it.Basically I was to see if my ISP is cheating me or not (and in general to control myself on my HUGE ..... + ISO download habbits)..I need nothing fancy, even a basic command will do in which case i'll be happy to write my own basj script for that...
Ubuntu system monitor applet doesn't show internet traffic although my wireless is working just fine. I use a conky to monitor bandwidth through vnstat and had no problem till I upgraded to maverick.
**ifconfig wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:24:d2:c4:3e:da inet adr:192.168.0.100 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Masque:255.255.255.0 adr inet6: fe80::224:d2ff:fec4:3eda/64 Scope:Lien UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
I would like to be able to monitor which programs are allowed to access the internet, but a search for programs to do this has turned up nothing. Preferably, I would like a notification to come up every time an application uses the internet. Is there any (n00b friendly) software available to do that?
I have an ISO of a game I own that shows up as 5gb. When I mount the ISO like this:
mount -t iso9660 -loop game.iso /mnt/loop and go to /mnt/loop and execute du -hs
it returns 2.5gb. Examination of all the files and directories in /mnt/loop does indeed add up to 2.5gb. So my question is what happened to the rest of it? Does the 5gb ISO contain a bunch of empty space? Should I try to burn it to a DVD and see what happens or should I burn it to a dual layer disc? I don't want to waste a dual layer disc if I don't have to.
Is there a git client that doesn't require git to be installed? Every client I've found so far requires the binary "git" to be installed on your system and is simply a wrapper to that. Does anyone know of an actual standalone git client?
I have a large number of folders that each contain quite a few files of varying sizes (from a few bytes to 400kb or so), mostly smaller ones. I need to get the actual (not the disk usage) size of these folders. Is there any way to do this with a command like 'du'?
I've been having some problems with my desktop. My windows and my sidebar work fine, it's just nothing updates on my actual desktop(like the wallpaper, files, etc.). For example, if I mouseover one of my files on my desktop, nothing happens. I can right click on it and it comes up with the right menu, but it doesn't select the file or anything. I just changed my wallpaper and nothing happened.
I'm well aware this is a common issue among Linux users, but have exausted every method I've researched.
On Xubuntu, I have a small set of USB speakers. Now, the system does detect the output. The mute and volume controls on the speakers work properly (I can see the sound bar move on the screen when doing so).
I've tried various applications such as pavucontrol, to try and fix the problem.
When I try playing audio, sound bars are moving in pavucontrol, but alas, no actual audio from the speakers.
Im trying to find a way in redhat to see if there is a command that could tell me the actual used memory by the system. For example when i do the free command, i want to see the Used minus cached value. Is there a way linux can report the true used memory and not the cached/buffer etc? if there is not specific command for that, can someone tell me a bash script that could calculate used-cached ?
# # insert the line '-A INPUT -i eth0 -j ACCEPT' # in iptables # /-A INPUT -i eth0 -j ACCEPT/a -A INPUT -i edge0 -j ACCEPT
but when i run sed -f script iptables. it just echo's it to the the screen with my line added and not into the actual file. anyone know what i am doing wrong?
We have something on our network that is reaking havoc with our content filter. I am trying to track it down, but so far I have been unsuccessful. We have approximately 500 devices in 100+ different locations spread across 9 states. Looking at each computer is not really feasible.
I need a machine that can sit in between our network and our internet connection and graphically monitor in real time and logs how much traffic each device is sending and receiving. It would need to sit inline so it has to have two nics and be able to pass traffic. The machine also needs to be transparent. Reconfiguration of our routers or workstations is not an option.
I have used ethereal and wireshark before. Ethereal may be a viable option, but wireshark seems to provide lots of information, but no practical way to make use of it. how to set up the box to be a transparent device on the network that will allow internet bound traffic to flow (freely)?
I'm desperately in need of a Linux software that would give me a report on my internet connection. I'm connected to this pathetic ISP who's connection from my end keeps going down every two minutes (even though for a little while), but my downloads keeps getting interrupted, and it's generally frustrating. One moment I can have a DL of 512kbps and the next moment it's 0kbps. At times browsing won't be available, but other things like chat will be working fine.
The problem is, I've signed up with them on an annual package and made advance payment. Now they keep telling me there is nothing wrong with their internet provision and I cannot ask for my money. That is why I need some app that will sit in my PC and monitor the connection o24/7 and give me a report of how many times the connection kept going down, average speeds, etc.., which I can give to them.
I've tried installing Nagios, MRTG and others from synaptic, but don't even know how to start them up - they're not even appearing in the main menu. I tried to load MRTG from the terminal but it tells me:
Code:
ERROR: Mrtg will most likely not work properly when the environment variable LANG is set to UTF-8. Please run mrtg in an environment where this is not the case. Try the following command to start:
env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg
I even tried what it tells me, but no luck and I don't even know if I'm on the right track by using Nagios or MRTG?
problem is that no lower speeds available and ondemand do not work it always stays at 2 GHz even when maxing out all 4 cpu-s with something like Blender render for example?
I am looking for the log messages where I can find out what time my netbook hibernated?
I have checked in the /var/log. And all I could see was pm-suspend.log and pm-powersave.log.
Is there one which would tell me what time my computer hibernated?
The reason for this is when I go out I leave my netbook running on the battery. When the battery get to about 5% it will hibernate. I just what to see what time it did hibernate?
