One strange and little annoying issue I notice with my openSUSE 11.3 installation is my Synaptic touchpad behaves way too strange.... Dragging a window or icon - half way around - a click is generated (probably a middle click I guess) and I need to re-drag it again.... In the browser when I try to select a text - again by dragging - a middle click gets generated... The same happens when I use gvim in visual mode too - I end up pasting the code I had selected halfway because of the middle click....
Middle click can be generated only if I press both left and right click buttons - which I'm pretty sure I'm not.... I tried playing around with the touchpad settings but no good.... I'm not able to find anything related to the middle click on the settings application... My touchpad works fine in Ubuntu and was in 11.2 as well.... Yes it works fine in Xp too.
I've got a simple software RAID1 configuration (2x250gb disks) running on Centos 5 where one of the devices appears to have failed.Whilst the system is continuing to run, the ext3 filesystem on the raid device has been placed into read-only mode Is this normal behaviour? As one of the devices is still operational I can't see why this should have happened. Can anyone explain what may have caused the OS to do this?Output from /proc/mdstat is:-

I'm having a bit of trouble with my wifi. Every time the network has activity, it blinks between orange and blue. The normal behaviour of the LED is to be blue when wifi is enabled and orange when disabled. Often it blinks rapidly between the two, sometimes appearing white the change is so rapid. You can see how this would be annoying (as well as raise some concern over the life of the LED's)...
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit. My computer is an HP Pavillion dv7 1135nr. Wifi hardware specs: Realtek RTL8101, Atheros AR5007.
I need to have the configuration showed on the attached file. I have two machines, one PC (ubuntu 9.10 ) and one embedded CPU with a tailored linux version starting from 2.4.31 linux kernel with Busybox running on PPC architecture.
PC address is 192.168.30.70.
On CPU board I have two ethernet interfaces with addresses :
eth0 192.168.30.30 netmask 255.255.255.0
eth1 192.168.30.40 netmask 255.255.255.0
PC sends messages alternatively to 192.168.30.40 and to 192.168.30.30 .Between two machines there is an ethernet switch to allow messages flowing.
I use ping (from two shells on PC I ping the two addresses on CPU) to simulate messages from PC to CPU and I see this behaviour:
Starting from a situation in which CPU responds to the pings I try to disconnect cable connected to eth0 on CPU. I cannot see any interruption on ping reply on the eth0 port. If i reconnect the cable on eth0 and I disconnect cable on eth1 there are no reply to the two pings (neither from eth0 nor from eth1). It seems that all data flows on one cable just because the addresses are on the same subnet. Is this right?
If this is the right behaviour how can i separate data from PC to CPU in order to force packets to flow on two cables and avoid this sort of internal routing beetween eth0 and eth1?
I own an Ubuntu Server 9.04 on a remote dedicated server. Since a few days (?) the loopback interface is not 'up' on reboot : I only have eth0 (which works fine).Here is my /etc/networking/interfaces (did not change since server initialization):

I run a webserver Apache2, php5, and MySQL. They are all set up correctly and I can access my website at [URL] I have, also installed, noip2 to update my IP address to no-ip.com for my domain name. Here's the problem: I can access my website through that domain name on other computers, both on internet and on the same network. But I cannot access it from my own computer (using the domain name instead of localhost). I need to be able to access the domain name on my computer because some pages on my website have been defined as the address to my domain name and not localhost. I cannot change this to localhost because if I do then people outside cannot work the webpages correctly. I had the same troubles on Windows before and I simply enabled loopback connections by typing in my private IP address along with the domain name into the Windows hosts file. I use version 10.04.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm setting up a loopback server for work related testing. I have a small program that needs to be executed through telnet from about 200 IP's on the same network. On the server, I have to set a static ip, enable telnet login, and place my 2 program files in the appropriate folders so it will run. I have been on this for 2-3 days and haven't got far.
My /etc/Network/interfaces file is this...
Auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
The rest of terminal is filled up with these, and it states that the file only has 32 characters. I don't know if this is a privilege issue or not. I've read several threads on telnet, and lots of arguments about ssh, but I can't run ssh, so I need to enable telnet. There is not a security issue. I run a private network where the only valuable resource would probably be the text file with my IP address on it. Its also accessed by people that have very limited networking knowledge and no linux knowledge...
So,
Set static IP
Setup telnet server...
Any takers?

So I have an Ubuntu server setup but my modem from my ISP only has one ethernet port so I have to run my server behind a router. I have been able to get the sever viewable to everyone outside of my network but when someone is inside my network they have to view the server by the direct IP the web address doesnt work nor does the actual static IP. I believe this is something to do with my router not being able to loopback. It is a belkin N600 DB.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhy does the loopback interface has such a high mtu? I get it that it needs to work out even large packets, which is logical but why this specific number? I can set the MTU even higher with the ip link command, so it's not a limitation of the variable used.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a server application that uses loopback addresses to open servers on linux machine.
For IPv4 with one line of configuration I can open many servers according to the mask I use for example with 10.10.10.0/24 I can open 254 servers.
How can I do the same for IPv6 ? I am able to add loopback interfaces but only for one host. Is it possible to add for a subnet ?
If not what is the max number of addresses that I can add ?
I also saw that it add the address only to loopback lo and I can add it to lo:3 for example.
I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 and I've been unable to access any type of Internet service besides web browsing.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm running a Source Dedicated Server on my Ubuntu laptop, and to connect to it via external IP from other computers in the network I need to enable loopback in my router.This was working fine, but then I disconnected my laptop for a few days, and when I came back the wireless stopped working on my Xbox. I reset the router to factory defaults, and then setup everything again. It was all working fine until I enabled loopback again and power cycled my router. Now every time I do that, the internet on Ubuntu stops working and the wireless on the Xbox stops working.
Edit: You can ignore this I guess. It seems I was actually DISABLING loopback by enabling that router option, which I guess caused this. Strange, because the first time enabling this option was the only way to get my external ip to work. Oh well, everything is fine now.

I have been searching the forums for quite a while, to add extra Loopback adapter in Centos 5.1, but no success! Could you please suggest me the steps? in Windows, it is quite easy to add as many adapters as you want. wondering, if this is even possible in Linux? I have to run GNS3/Dynamips for router emulation and bind those Loopback adapters to virtual routers!

It does let my Wii and my iPod Touch connect with no problems. I've tried restarting, but that doesn't work. We don't have access to the router, so we can't reset that.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just installed Ubuntu 10.10 yesterday, this is my first experience of Linux so I am a noob and have no idea how to go about troubleshooting this myself. I have been googling and searching forums for ages and have read a lot of threads of people having problems getting connected but have still to find anyone with the same issue I am having.
I managed to connect without any problem and I am not being periodically disconnected (which seems to be a frequent problem) but when I enter an address in firefox or click a link there is a 20-40 second delay before it will take me to the page, but once I am on the page if I click another link it will take me there straight away (as long as I am in the same tab, if I switch to a different window I have the 30 second delay again). Same with downloading files, when I click a download link it takes about half a minute to register that I have clicked, but once it establishes the connection my speeds are the same as they always are. speedtest.net is showing 8mbps, and the last file I downloaded came through at 900kbps once the connection established. It is very irritating since other than that I am loving Ubuntu and the more I read about Linux the more I want to drop my windows 7 altogether (running dual boot just now).
I've been trying to use MySQL in Ubuntu but I've been having some connection issues and in trying to troubleshoot that, I observed this strange behavior with pings in Ubuntu Desktops inside our network.
- All Ubuntu Servers we have (10.10 and 8.04) behave as expected
- All Windows machines behave as expected
- All 5 Ubuntu Desktops we have, (10.10 and 9.10) exhibit the following unexpected behavior:
If they have a local ip addresses and are connected within the internal network, either to a switch or directly to a router, pings take much longer to be sent. It's not a higher lag, it's the time between each ping that increases. I have to wait for around 5 seconds for each ping, but the time in the ping reply is less than 100ms, also they're all in order so I assume it's the system delaying the sending of each ping.
If I plug a USB 3G modem directly then it works as expected again (~1 sec between each ping sent). Is this an intended feature, that depends on the network environment, or is this something I should look into more closely?
