Ubuntu Networking :: 9.10 - Wireless Asking For WPA Key Repeatedly
Mar 16, 2010
I'm a new Ubuntu user! I've just installed Ubuntu 9.10, straight from the homepage. All went fine, everything appears to be running smoothly.. but I can't get the wireless working! All it does is ask for the WPA/WPA2-Personal key repeatedly. I know I've got the code right, as I've typed it whilst "Show Characters" is on multiple times. Every time I enter it, the networking icon looks as though it's working, and then after a moment it'll ask me again.

I downloaded the latest version of Ubuntu yesterday (10.04 LTS) for the first time and it worked like a treat, with the Internet conencting immediately without any problems. However, this morning I turned on my laptop and despite seemingly connecting to the network, Ubuntu won't conenct to the Internet. It is also repeatedly asking for me to re-input the WEP Key despite it being correct and always automatically inputted.
Machine:
Quote:
Advent 8117
Intel Core Duo T2080 1.73GHZ
1GB RAM
RaLink RT7
I've been looking around for hours on the Internet to try and find a solution but to no avail, even though people do seem to experience similar problems.

My wireless connection ran without issue when I ran Ubuntu 9.x on a windows dual boot loader. Liking Ubuntu, I wiped the system and installed a 10.10 with no dual boot. After the upgrade, my wireless connection is no longer reliable.
Wireless seems to stay connected when traffic volumes are low. As soon as any significant traffic is generated such as a download, torrent or video stream, the network disconnects. Disabling and re-enabling the connection at the GUI recovers the connection. Disconnect can be generated on demand.
If I can somehow roll back to the 9.x network setup I was running. Unclear to me (n00b) if the windows dual boot was impacting that setup or not.

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 because I was facing internet problems with previous Ubuntu 9.04 after I upgraded it with downloaded software. And now, 10.10 connects to wireless, but shows web-page some-times and repeatedly disconnects. Earlier it wasn't reaching Internet at all. Some of the topics here helped a lot. But this intermittent internet seems not going anywhere. Wired Internet connects easily though.
I've tried :-
-disabling ipv6..... first in Firefox, then in Kernel also
-Setting DNS.....System> Preferences> Network Connections
-setting static Ip
The system still gives trouble.
My system is Asus UL20A.
Wireless:-Atheros AR9285

My wireless LAN connection on this machine occasionally stops working. The network traffic bar shows periodic very small transmissions but the failure of all network dependent applications (Firefox, package manager, etc.) indicates to me that the machine is no longer talking to the net. I can fix it by reselecting my home network in nm-applet from the drop-down list. This causes the machine to disconect, reconnect and all is well for some random period of time thereafter. Here's some data:I'm running an HP Pavillion laptop.
Code:
~$ lspci | grep Wireless
02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
Code:
~$ lsmod | grep iwl
iwlagn 124768 0
iwlcore 134820 1 iwlagn
mac80211 243496 2 iwlagn,iwlcore

I don't know if this is related or not, but a couple of months ago I unsuccessfully attempted to share a hotel's wired Internet connection over my wireless card. I may have hosed some settings or it could be unrelated.The "unknown interface" portion of the restart attempt is interesting but I don't know enough to fix it.

Having just installed OpenSuse 11.3, NetworkManager identifies my wireless network, but repeatedly fails to make a connection. Without further ado, here are the outputs to commands requested in the first sticky thread:

I am seeing log messages that I don't understand. If I run tail -f /var/log/messages, some times I will see this this sort of repeating pattern. I don't know if I have cut at the start of the sequence or not. Incidentally, this is a normaly well-behaved client/host.

Why is the client repeatedly sending the (1/4) message and then timing out?

I have recently upgraded to 11.4 and also had to renew an AP (HP ProCurve 10ag). This was several years old but replaced an identical model which had been working well until recently. I thought it would be appropriate to flash newer firmware as the device four releases behind the times. The access point serves partner's XP laptop and my openSUSE 11.4 laptop and after flashing the firmware both machines would make a connection and then break and remake, to the extent that the openSUSE machine became unusable. I thought it was an encryption problem and spent hours changing the AP and Client setups to no avail
After reading a thread here I checked out dmesg and this is what I found:-
[78.639247] wlan0: authenticate with 00:1d:b3:4b:ae:14 (try 1)
[78.640804] wlan0: authenticated
[78.642507] wlan0: associate with 00:1d:b3:4b:ae:14 (try 1)
[78.651195] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:1d:b3:4b:ae:14 (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=1)
[78.651200] wlan0: associated
[78.652222] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
[78.652283] cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: DE
[78.674378] cfg80211: Regulatory domain changed to country: DE .....
This went on and on.

I did a clean install of 10.10 just under a week ago and something is really wrong with my wired connection. I keep loosing all connectivity and have to connect again from the panel app. After that, every thing works again for about 30 to 60 seconds and the the connection goes again. No lost connection notification pop up or anything like that, but i cannot browse the web or download upgrades while the connection is gone.
Then the really weird part. Sometimes my connection works just fine. On some boots everything is fine for a long time (hours?) but then the problem comes back. My network card is an Intel 82567LF-2 and it uses the e1000e kernel module. I dual boot to Windows Server 2008 R2 and there I have full connectivity all the time.

I installed Ubuntu on an old desktop last night and am having some problems with my wireless connection.I've searched around a bit and tried a few solutions but nothing seems to be working so hopefully someone can help. I'm using a Netgear WG111v3 wireless USB adapter and am attempting to connect to a Sky Broadband modem, the connection shows up in the list of avaliable networks after clicking on the network symbol and after attempting to connect for a while it then asks for the WPA password.
I enter the password and then this repeats over and over again continuously asking for the password and me continuously entering it. I know the password is correct as I'm using it on my laptop and other home computer right now.I've tried connecting to a hidden wireless network and inserting the network name and password as some have suggested and I've also tried adding the details from my router into the connection; so that I have manually entered the information rather than automatically finding it, this also hasn't worked.I should probably add that earlier today I seemingly randomly got connected and then managed to run some updates but since then it has disconnected and the same problem is repeating over and over. Sorry if thats quite a long explanation but I thought I'd try and make it as clear as possible,

I believe I'm running Kubuntu 10.04, but don't quote me on that. Here's the version string from dmesg. Linux version 2.6.32-31-generic (buildd@crested) (gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) ) #60-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 17 22:15:39 UTC 2011 (Ubuntu 2.6.32-31.60-generic 2.6.32.32+drm33.14 I have an emergent problem with my wired ethernet resetting the connection on a frequent basis. When it resets it re-negotiates the link speed and I often end up with a 10Mb/s link and on some occasions a 100Mb/s. The configured speed for the link is 1000Mb/s full duplex using a preup ethtool command. I do not use NetworkManager but have the interface configured in /etc/network/interfaces.

I'm running wicd 1.7.0 on Kubuntu 10.04, with an Actiontec DSL wireless router (with an internal dd-wrt "bridged" router as well;Any idea what "magic" those lines are performing and if it's possible to make wicd do it all the time (instead of just the third time)?Very happy to pursue any debugging if anyone has any ideas, as it's pretty annoying to have to wait an extra couple minutes on every boot until connecting.

Ever since installing Ubuntu 11.04, GDM/Unity has crashed and terminated every couple of times i use it. No record in dmesg, no idea how else to check up on it. Running kernel 2.6.38-9-generic.Occurs under normal use/load, never noticed a specific factor that causes it.

I keep getting "Starting File Manager" flashing on and off on the bottom tool bar in Ubuntu 10.04. The icons on my desktop keep blinking on and off and I can't access any folders! It happened after saving an SVG file to my desktop in Inkscape. Not sure that's anything to do with it. I rebooted twice and it is continuing to do the same thing.

I have already tried editing the file /usr/share/applications/screensavers/glslideshow.desktop And changing this line: Exec=/usr/lib/xscreensaver/glslideshow -root To this: Exec=/usr/lib/xscreensaver/glslideshow -root -duration 5 -pan 5 -fade 1
But it had no effect. Does anyone know any other way to prevent glslideshow from showing the same pictures repeatedly?

Im running Ubuntu 10.04 with the latest updates and im connecting from windows xp using tortisesvn.When I do svn+ssh//Connection_name/var/svn/repoI can connect just fine. The problem is that im asked 3 times for my password before the folder will display. I guessing its 3 times because the repo is 3 levels deep. In tortise if I click a folder to go another level deeper im asked for my password again. "Connection_name" is the name of the onnection profile I setup in Putty which is used by tortise via plink. I tried setting up a auth key but that didnt help either. If I use putty to open up the "connection_name" ssh connection, im only asked once for my password and can operate as normally expected.

I recently installed Ubuntu (the full version). I liked Wubi a lot, but that's because I just had to press down and enter during startup. After uninstalling it, I went to the full version, but that's been giving me more trouble than Wubi, lol.
First, it replaced my Windows Boot Manager with GRUB (which IMO sucks because it takes like 15 seconds to load the menu and it lags when you want to press an arrow key). Second, it screwed up my Windows (the first time I started up Windows I got like 50 lines of errors and after that I had to do the disk check thing but now it works). I use Vista x32, and when I try to boot into Windows it gets to the (C)Microsoft with the green loading bars thing and after about 5-10 seconds my computer randomly (without warning, the screen just turns black) restarts. Goes back to the BIOS menu, a full restart.
My first priority is to get Windows fully running without restarts during boot time. Then I'd like to use Windows boot manager to start Ubuntu (I checked with EasyBCD, Ubuntu doesn't show in WBM.
Oh BTW, dual-booting ubuntu 10.04 and WinVista SP2.

Every time I go to start up my system, it asks me for my video type and says the video type '31b' is not a recognized video type. Another important thing to note is that I just recently had to do a fsck after my system refused to boot out of nowhere. Most other things on the computer run fine except that Compiz or Emerald will crash slightly more often, but can be fixed by reloading the window manager. Compiz and Emerald did crash every so often before the fsck, so it is not that out of the ordinary.

A friend who switched ISP's gave me his old Linksys WRT54-G wireless router. I went through the installation procedure and had a wireless connection up and running - smiley face. I had security set up for WPA, and decided to upgrade it to WPA2. Another smiley face. When I went to connect (had already done so successfully), I noticed it referred to my wireless as Linksys - I was expecting to see the SSID. So I started playing around in Network Manager and now I have things all effed up.
Don't know exactly what I did, but now I have no wireless. So I ran a few commands (lshw -C network, iwconfig, ifconfig, and iwlist scan), and looking at the results I see what appear to be inconsistencies in the output. I've posted them below, and make the following observations:
1. Under the lshw it refers to my wireless connection logical name as wmaster0, and has the correct MAC address, etc.
2. Under the iwconfig it says, 'wmaster0 no wireless extensions', but then refers to wlan0 as the wireless connection (although it does not seem to be running).
3. Under ifconfig I see both a wlan0 and a wlan0:avahi. The wlan0 has no IP, the wlan0:avahi does, but it is incorrect.

A user from our domain sent an email with big attachments to a recepient of other domain, and the same email was sent several times to the receiver.
I checked the df and qf file on our sendmail server, in /var/spool/mqueue and found following:
qfo5SHgJqX006403:Mreply: read error from remote-host.somedomain.com.
qfo5SHgJqX006403:MDeferred: Connection timed out with remote-host.somedomain.com.
I deleted all qf and df files for this particular mail. So deleting the df and qf file has stopped sending mails repeatedly to the receiver.
Is this problem at our end or the receipient end? Why is the same mail sent several times to the receiver?

I need to play a info movie on a monitor through VGA. When done, then re-start the movie and continue to run it, forever. How do i do this? If I install a ubuntu 10.04 server, or a very stripped down ubuntu version (i dont know one) then how do I setup VLC to do what I want it to? All I can find is stuff about streaming over a network, and nothing on how to stream (local) over vga.

I have a problem with my 10.10 32bit installation. The shut down window repeated appears within a few seconds of use, and this is not user-invoked. The shut down screen just pops up within a few seconds after logging in. It even occurs at the login screen. Once it appears, it'll repeatedly close & reopen. I tried using 10.04 bit (which I normally use on my other computers), and have the same results. This is a new computer that I just bought

I'm running a Latitude E4300 with the Intel 4500HD integrated graphics. Lately, the display has started to flash on and off several times an hour. Usually all I have to do is move the mouse or hit a key, and the display comes back (the back light is on when this happens).
Once and awhile, my monitor goes into standby when this happens, but if I turn the LCD (a Dell 2007FP) off and back on, the display is back. This happens when using the internal LCD at 1280x800 or my external monitor hooked up via E-Dock.
I've tried a couple different monitors, and they all work fine. I have another hard drive for this machine that I have Windows 7 loaded on, and it works for hours and hours without exhibiting any video related errors.

I am trying to run my code repeatedly in a loop about 50 times for timing measurement. I have C code running on ubuntu 8 on a single processor, Intel x86. My code is something like this
Code:
for (loop =0;loop<=50;loop++)
{
// other operations
pDir = opendir("/proc");
while (pDir == NULL)
[Code]...
After about 28-29 times the loop stops executing. I initially had a return -1 if I got pDir == NULL. That caused my program to exit, and I dont want that. Any clues on why this happens, and how I can circumvent this?

Recent FC10 totally clean install. Fully updated using yum.
Using gui /system/administration/network I set up my DNS to the two IP addresses I've been given.
$service network restart
cat /etc/resolv.conf and the secondary DNS has changed to the IP address of my
gateway (router, at 192.168.2.x)
I.e. something is overwriting resolv.conf
Prior to this install, I'd been successfully using fixed IP on the 192.168.2.x range quite happily. Now it only works on DHCP and DNS seems to take an age.

I'm trying to upgrade to F11, and I'm having trouble. I attempted to download the x86_64 DVD .iso image by bit torrent, and it seemed okay, but when I started the installation the DVD failed the initial integrity check. I tried a second time with another DVD and got the same result.I tried running md5sum on the .iso image, but the response did not match what was in the CHECKSUM file that came with the .iso image -- should it? I tried downloading a live DVD image for comparison and found the same result - the response to the md5sum command did not match what was listed in the CHECKSUM file.Should these checksums match, or am I comparing apples and oranges? I thought the bit torrent client was supposed to check the files, but I'm not sure about that.
