Ubuntu :: Internet Won't Work Without Restarting It After Startup
May 16, 2010
After upgrading to 10.04 I've had to run /etc/init.d networking restart to get my internet connection to work after startup on my desktop computer. Any ideas on how to find out what's wrong and how to fix it? I didn't uprage my laptop yet and it still works just fine so I'm thinking this is related to the upgrade. Softwarewise the only relevant networking related difference between my desktop and laptop is the ubuntu version and that I have openvpn set up on the desktop for work related stuff.

I have recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 in one of my notebook's HD partitions. It all runs smoothly, except for wireless. For some reason, Ubuntu only finds my wireless connections after I boot into Windows and then restart. If I boot straight into Ubuntu, I always get the 'device not ready' or 'disconnected' message under 'Wireless networks'.
Does anyone know what might be the cause of the problem and what can I do to solve it?
Below are some information about my computer, as requested in the 'How to post a wireless issue' thread.
These are the results AFTER restarting from Windows.
Machine brand: Mirax - XT8000 NTL 243200

I'm setting up my first home server. I'm running Debian Squeeze and I can't get my machine to connect to the internet on boot.The only way I've been able to is by logging in and running the following commands in exactly this order:
Code:
sudo dhclient
sudo ifdown wlan1
sudo ifup wlan1
My /etc/network/interfaces looks like this
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto wlan1
[code]...
I should clarify that by not able to connect I mean that I see the DHCP discover attempts but it fails after a few attempts and says "no DHCPOFFERS recieved" So I tried putting the above commands into a script and invoking that script in /etc/init.d/rc.local and I can see that it runs but I have the same problem. I need to be able to reboot my machine as I'll be administering it remotely.

recently upgraded to lucid lynx from karmic in which I used AWN with no problems.However, I now can't get it to work on start up, even though it is listed as one of the startup applications and the box for activate on start up is checked in the AWN manager. I have compiz installed and AWN works fine when I run it once the computer is turned on. It may be because compiz isn't properly listed as a startup application as I don't know the correct command, however other compiz actions work on start up!
Another minor point is that before I had the settings so that the dock was always hidden unless the cursor was over the area. I have played around with the preferences but can't find the right setting to make that happen! I've tried setting the behaviour as Intellihide which seems the most likely to me, but it just acts the same as window dodge... So maybe it's just not working properly?

When I boot up my machine (running CentOS 5.5), I have no internet connection. ifconig doesn't show that eth0 is present. Going into my Network Gui from the administration tools, it says that eth0 is not active. I can't activate it from the GUI.But...If I sudo dhclient -d eth0, the process runs for a little bit, and all of the sudden my internet connection is there.
There must be some sort setting that I need to change to avoid doing this everytime I start the machine. Its odd, because I have an identical machine right next to it that doesn't have this problem.

I try to run a bash script when the machine boots up. I followed the exactly the same procedure as stated in [URL] I tried to use update-rc.d and rc.local. The both ways still dont make the bash script automatically run when it boots up in Ubuntu 9.04. The script can be successfully executed when I log in as root and run it manually.

I have downloaded and compiled the xboxdriver from Grumbels git hub. Running 9.10 minimal with xbmc 9.11. I can run the driver manually and actually run multiple instances of the driver for multiple controllers. I cannot however get more than one instance of the driver to start up at boot. I have the freshly compiled driver and daemon that came with source files in /usr/local/bin.
I can run the driver via 'sudo /usr/local/bin/xboxdrv --wid0', I can even get a second wireless controller working with 'sudo /usr/local/bin/xboxdrv --wid1'
When I add the driver to /etc/rc.local it runs fine on startup. The problem is I want more than one instance running. When I add the exact same line right under it except change the wid0 to wid1 it will not automaticly run the second driver. I also can get zero activity from the daemon. I have tried adding it to the rc.local, or /etc/init.d/local (I think someone mentioned it somewhere) with no luck.
I am not quite sure what I am doing wrong. My ultimate goal is to have 2 minimum to 4 maximum controllers work from startup. I want to add emulators to a xbmc htpc and just dont want to have to worry about manually starting drivers. I have forgone using xpad due to its somewhat limited support for wireless xbox360 controllers.

I've got a script than ran fine under Ubuntu 7.10 but I'm having a problem with it under Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. The script runs fine when executed via sudo. The script is in /etc/init.d, it's executable, I registered it with update-rc.d, and (according to ps) it's running. It just doesn't work.
Here's the script:
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/xxxx
while [ true ]; do
kermit -q <pc.kcs
sleep 5
done
kermit is installed and runs properly, the directory /home/xxxx exists, the file pc.kcs exists (remember: the script runs when executed via sudo).

In previous versions of ubuntu I used to reshuffle the ALT, SHIFT, and TAB keys using xmodmap.
Specifically, I had a file called ~/.xmodmap-mejia which reshuffled the keyboard, and I called that file from the startup applications (I had added it to system>preferences>Startup Applications).
However, in Ubuntu 10.4 it does not work. If I call the script after the computer has loaded, it works perfectly, but it does not have any effect as a startup application. It is as though changes effected by the script that calls ~/.xmodmap-mejia gets overwritten later on by the default keyboard binding.
As things stand right now, I have to run the script manually every time I turn on my laptop. Which, of course, is very annoying.
Any ideas of how to fix this?

trying to use ipmitool during startup to detect certain hardware and run some configuration. This worked fine for me on RHEL 5.4 but only after smartd had started. For some reason I cant get it to work any time before I get a login prompt on RHEL 4.5

Everything worked fine in Kubuntu 10.04 (64-bit). On the upgrade to 10.10 (64-bit) it takes about a minute until I can move the mouse after startup and the integrated memory card reader doesn't work (but the green LED which used to only come on when there was a card in there is now always on). This has been discussed twice before: here (closed and solved by unplugging cardreader which I do not want to do) and here (unsolved but closed as maverick no longer in beta) dmesg (note the errer -110) follows. Let me know if I can/should include any other logs/info!

this may not be the right place to ask this, but my sister has a macbook and the keyboard does not want to work. i have looked online and i see that the main cause of this problem is in Leopard (correct me if im wrong). So i was wondering if perhaps using linux would solve this problem or if the problem is more hardware related than os related.
Also, how would i go about booting into a linux cd? since u need to enter some keyboard keys at startup and assuming that won't work, is there another way?

I have a sony laptop VGN FS315M, i recently installed Ubuntu 11.04, and i really love the unity interface.
But i have a few issues as well:
1. Vaio FS315M has Nvidia graphics card, ubuntu suggested a video card driver which i installed but didn't work well so i switched to the another one and it worked generally well but that too has problems like if my computer goes to sleep upon closure of lid, it cannot wake up again. it shows only a white screen and only way to get out of it is to restart the computer by manually pressing start button.
2. Sound card works generally ok but mic doesn't work on startup but when i click sound preferences and mic selection from analog microphone to another one and then again to analog microphone, it works but not the first time. Sound output is low compared to windows.
3. Arabic/persian fonts generally are not shown well in firefox?
4. Computer seems to be slow in unity compared to 10.10, may be because of high demand on graphics or the graphics card is not optimized?
5. Skype won't start automatically and there's no option in this skype to do so and also it doesn't save password?
6 . Ubuntu doesn't connect to net connection unless i connect manually, i want it to connect automatically to internet
7. This issue is not related directly to ubuntu. My system is a dual boot system with windows xp as well. Before windows xp, i tried windows 7 beta and then later removed it but it left its bootloader at startup. since my CDROM drive is also out of order so i tweaked BIOS by installing PLOP to install ubuntu. Now i have 3 startup menus if i want to run windows xp, one for ubuntu, then windows 7 with option for earlier version, when i select earlier version then windows xp or PLOP installer. so its a mess. I want PLOP to appear at the beginning (so that i can have boot option from USB available), then ubuntu and if i select windows it should go directly to xp not thru others.

Last night I switched from Windows XP to Ubuntu. This morning I could connect to my wireless network, but not access the internet. I tried several things like manually setting my IP address, but nothing seemed to work, then I found a solution on another site:
Code:
sudo dhclient wlan0
After I performed that action, I could access the internet.I then spent an hour and a half downloading and installing updates, before being prompted to reboot my laptop. I did so, but then could not access the internet again.I have now spent my entire afternoon browsing the internet (on another computer), trying to find a solution. I tried that command again, which now does not work. I have also tried different DNS settings and even plugged an ethernet cable into my laptop, but the internet still doesn't work.

I have just installed 10.04 on Acer laptop 5630.
I can not get my Internet going when I connect to my Dlink DSL 502T.
The network indicator changes from little arches to up and down arrows when I plug the router in which leads me to believe I have a connection.
I can ping addresses ok.
But when I open firefox i just get "connection has timed out"
I have tried changing various network settings but nothing seems to work.

I am not sure why, but my wireless networking icon on the top right of the panel doesn't show up any more during startup. Previously during startup, the applet would show up and then after a while connected to my wireless network seamlessly.
The only thing I did before and after it stopped working was to enable auto login. I cannot disable auto-login through the GUI and according to postinings in the forums no one knows how to do it through the command line interface.
In the 'Startup Applications' menu it is checked for startup with the command line saying "nm-applet --sm-disable". What can I do to have the network manager icon automatically startup when I turn on Ubuntu? Right now I get it to work by typing "sudo nm-applet" in the terminal window and then pasting my wireless encryption key.

I just changed my wireless connection over to wired and my computer claims it's connected but when I try to open and webpage (or even ping) it can't connect.
Keep in mind I am plugged directly into the router. Also I'm not sure if this is helpful but, I did have connection sharing for my xbox when I had wireless. I'm typing this on windows 7 which is driving me further into insanity by the minute.

When I click on the network connection sign at the top of the screen on Xubuntu (even on Ubuntu--I uninstalled it to see if that was the problem but the problem persisted on Xubuntu), it will say wireless network 'device not ready'. i tried running a command from the Xubuntu Troubleshooting and it said that my device was turned off for some reason. This is not true as I made sure that I turned it on. I've tried everything else and I am all out of luck. I also do not have a boot-up CD for Xubuntu/Ubuntu and I'm not sure of how to do all those commands in the terminal
.
About my network card...
Hardware details:
Board: Dell Wireless 1490 Dual Band WLAN Mini-Card Rev 5.8
Chipset: BCM4312/BCM2050
I forgot to mention at the bottom that it won't let me look at my hardware drivers and it says I don't have the correct things properly installed and then it won't show any drivers (so this problem probably cannot be solved using ndiswrapper).

i recently switched from windows vista to ubuntu 10.04, so i am a complete noob at this stuff... i enabled the ufw a few days ago and ever since then my Internet connection has been pretty spotty. i connect to the wireless network fine, and there is nothing wrong with the actual Internet connection (other computers in the house are using it fine) it is very frustrating and i was wondering if there is a way to stop this, do i need to forward some ports, or do i really even need the firewall at all... i don't really do many things that would allow me to get hacked in the first place..

I'm a first-time Ubuntu user. I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop, creating a dual boot in combination with Windows XP. Unfortunately, I can't get my Wireless Internet to work. It looks to me that Ubuntu somehow doesn't accept my Speedtouch dongle, seeing as the little green light on it stays off. The Ubuntu Help function simply suggests to go to Windows and "turn it on", but when I'm in Windows, it IS on... Also, in the network manager, there are NO wireless networks to choose from.
Futher down is some output from some commands that I see mentioned on forums discussing similar problems.
I think I should stress that I'm using a desktop, not a laptop, and that "hooking it up with a cable" is not an option, due to the distance between the desktop and the modem and the size and weight of the desktop. I would also like to stress that I have no experience managing my own Ubuntu system, so try to keep any instructions as simple as possible.

On Xubuntu Lucid, How do I kill Xfce's desktop (xfdesktop) without it restarting almost immediately? Right now, when I kill it (using built-in kill; /bin/kill; pkill) it restarts. I don't want that. Xfce seems to no longer have the option to choose if I want a desktop or not.

for the past 3 days i have tried everything i can find on the internet to get ubuntu to work. I am running a brand new Hp Dv4 laptop. I have downloaded, and installed Ubuntu. When i go to boot it, it takes me to a page where it says it needs to finish the install, and counts down from 5. If you let it complete that, it will go to a black page and sit there forever. Push ctrl + alt + del, and it will take you back to the page where you can choose Windows 7 or Ubuntu.
Go back to ubuntu, this time when it counts down i push Esc, and i have several choices. I have tried them all with the same results, except Demo mode. In demo mode, i get a black screen, and the sound of drums. But it still just sits there. I have tried doing ctrl +alt + f1 in each of the different modes, nothing. Just a black screen.

I can't connect to my ssh-server (on ubuntu 10.04) from any external address. The error in putty is "connection timed out". From my internal network, everything works fine, even if I select my external IP address and port in putty as the destination.
This is what I have done so far:
installed open ssh with the ubuntu server 10.04 cd
set up port forwarding (11041) in my router (seems to work ok, port is open according to "shields up")
configured ssh to use port 11041 in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
changed tcp and udp ssh port in /etc/services to 11041
enabled UFW and did sudo ufw allow ssh
