Ubuntu :: Configuring Internet From Command Line
Feb 23, 2010
I just installed a command line version of karmic to an old desktop. During installation, DHCP failed, so I attempted to configure manually (without really knowing what I'm doing) and wound up without a connection. I've been searching for solutions, but really don't understand what I need to do. A million thanks to anyone who can help me get up and running (or at least give me a push in the right direction).I can either connect the computer directly to the cable modem via USB, or directly to my wireless router via ethernet cable. I know what the ip address for my laptop (which is connected wirelessly to the router) but don't know if that would be the same for the desktop or not, and don't really know anything else.

Would anyone be so kind as to point me to a good reference for how use the command line to configure a directory to be shared in the directory properties?I know how to do it using graphical tools such as Nautilus, Konqueror, and Gnome's shares-admin, but I'd like to know how to do with via command line, because, once you know the commands, the command line is always quicker.I guess you could say I'm looking for a command line method for sharing directories in much the same way that chmod sets permissions from the command line.

I have ndiswrapper installed, and have successfully installed the drivers, I have also used nm-applet (and x forwarding) to configure wireless connections. My problem is that I want to reboot and unplug my wired connection and use just my wireless connection, but when I reboot it doesn't seem to connect to my network.
is there a command line tool or an independent tool that i can launch forwarding x I can use to search for and connect to wifi networks that would also have the ability to save configuration so that when I reboot the system automatically connects to my wifi?

I want to connect to the internet using the command line. I'm 95% I have my wireless card installed correctly, since I'm using it right now.dhclient takes a minute or two, then finishes. It gives no output, success or failure. Then I open up Firefox and I'm not connected to the internet. What can I do to figure out what the problem is?

I tried:
Quote:
ifconfig dsl up
ifconfig up dsl
ip link set dsl up
But I think I should have typed:
Quote:
ifconfig ppp0 up
Yesterday I was lost, I updated the drivers for the nvidia card and that broke X, since my internet is not up and running when booted I was wandering how to call it from the command line since that was the only thing I could see.

is there any way to do a 11.04 Alternate Command Line Install without Internet Connection? I try to install Ubuntu on a Internet-Tablet, wich has no Ethernet-Port and I don't know how to get Wifi to work during Alternate-Install. At previous Ubuntu versions it was possible to let network be unconfigured and install completely from CD or USB-Stick. Isn't this possible in current versions?

just learning qemu. Been able to figure out everything fine, except one thing: what do I need to add to my qemu command-line to give my VM access to the Internet?
I read online docs, but to be honest, the VLAN/TAP stuff they describe doesn't make much sense to me.

VM 1: with 2 NIC cards, one is NAT connected directly through my host machine to the internet with ip address 192.168.190.142. Second NIC card is "host only" with ip address 192.168.0.10
VM 2: with 1 NIC card, "host only" and ip address 192.168.0.100
I want VM 2 to connect to the internet but through VM 1. for this I used following configuration in
Code:
/etc/network/interfaces,but it is not working[code]....
I have given my VM 2 the gateway of VM 1 but it is not going through.P.S: both machines are pinging each other properly.

I know my way around MS Windows much better, but I just don't feel right trying to program something for Android on a Microsoft operating system. I am interested in Android programming so I followed the instructions on [URL] to install the environment on my computer...
I just installed the JDK, SDK, Eclipse successfully (or I assume):
* When I get to Step 4 where I'm supposed to run 'android' it will not run. I get the error message "android: command not found" (I am definitely in the right directory).
** When I double-click it in nautilus, it opens up in gedit. I can set the permissions in nautilus (through the properties - Allow executing file as a program) and get it to work,
My system:
Intel i7
Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat
android-sdk-linux-x86
eclipse 3.6.2

how to pass something more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal. I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
#
#TODO write this for gnome and xterm
[code]....
This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to
Code:
gnome-terminal -e mcTerm
Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.

In windows, when I use an HSPDA modem, internet traffic will be automatically directed through it. Everything will go back to normal once broadband connection is disconnected. In fedora 12 this is not the case, internet traffic will still go through the lan interface. Is there a way to mimic windows behavior in linux?

I installed RHEL 5 today and set my network. Did it as follows:Eth0 connectionPrimary DNS 192.168.1.1When I click on Activate, it says:8139too device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.This message shows no matter how many times I log out or restart.I don't know what the heck is the problem. I've done the essentials but still it's not working. I looked up on the net but people were saying things like ifconfig and lspci, and at the end still weren't able to solve it. I don't know all this since I'm new to Linux. Another important thing...after facing this same problem some time ago, I installed Centos which asked for internet settings right at the time of installation. And after logging in for the first time, I was able to use internet without any problem. How come internet works on Centos (which is a copy of RHEL) without any problems, but not working on RHEL itself?

Code: cmd='date | wc'
$cmd If this script is executed, an error is generated. The reason written was that "The execution fails because the pipe is not expanded and is passed to date as an argument".What is meant by expansion of pipe. When we execute date | wc on the command line, it goes fine.then | is not treated as an argument. Why?
