Ubuntu Networking :: Dual Booting Into XP 64 And Internet Won't Work On XP
Jul 25, 2011
I've re attempted going full on Linux using Ubuntu 11.04. I've done really well and have for the most part been able to make just about everything work. I was considering trying to dual boot into OS X on my PC if I could get Windows Office 10 to work in Ubuntu. I've had no luck getting office 10 or any of the suites to work in WINE no matter whos guides and how-to's I've read.
That lead me back into trying to dual boot into XP after a fresh format. The reason I need to get back into windows is that for my college courses Microsoft Word and Excel are required right now. So, this is getting me fairly frustrated as I'm not sure what to do or what the reason behind my other OS not seeing it's internet connection. I have samba and as well as my link to SWAT. I'm able to move files from Linux to XP with no problem, but have yet to configure SWAT as I'm not sure how to. My thinking is SWAT may have a reason to be why there's no connection.

I can get ubuntu to work fine on its own (except for sound, a problem for another day), but I can't get dual booting to work.I'm using this page as a guide:URl...I started out with a clean OSX snow leopard install. I ran bootcamp and shrank my 320G hfs+ file system to 160G. I installed rEFIt, and rebooted twice (you don't see the menu after rebooting once). Then I booted from my 10.04 CD, and deleted the partition created by bootcamp using gparted.When I run the installer and tell it to use the largest continuous space, it makes the / file system in partition #5, and the swap partition in partition #5.
I figured that might cause problems with a MBR partition table, so I partitioned manually, and set up / in sda3 and swap in sda4.When I tried to configure the installation of the bootloader, I had a menu of possible places to install it. I picked /dev/sda3, but then the OK button was grayed out.

I'm considering trying out Slackware just because I want to try something new. I've used Ubuntu for a couple of years and Debian for nearly a year so I do have some Linux experience. I do have some questions before I begin though. I've read that all configuration is done through text files. Does this include things like changing resolution and keybindings?
- I've also read that Slackware lacks a package manager. So does this mean that I'll have to download what I want from the internet and keep it up to date myself? Is there no repository? How are packages installed in Slackware? Is it a fairly simple process?
- Is installing multimedia codecs and Microsoft's True Type Core Fonts a fairly simple procedure? What about dependencies? I've heard that it has no dependency checking. So would I have to look up a list of dependencies for every package that I wish to install?
- How is LILO? Does it work well dual booting with Windows? In Ubuntu and Debian as soon as I install the OS, I can immediately access the internet from my wired router. Would I have to jump through any hoops in Slackware or can I expect similar results?

I'm a visual effects artist and although many VFX post production houses use linux, I've always used windows because of the programs. At this point, I've migrated to different programs which are also available on linux. The only set of programs I won't have, would be the Adobe Suite. So, I decided to finally start using linux again. I used it back when I was a kid for a few years, but just to have it really. We mainly use macs at work, but I'm switching to linux now.
Since I mainly use Autodesk Maya, the first choice would've been RHEL. Which is why I'm here now, you can guess.
I've downloaded the .iso of CentOS 5.5 and checked it against the hashes and it came out fine. I burned it to a DVD and booted my main computer (I have 3 I plan on installing it onto) and tested the media, came back fine.
I have two HDs, one 1.5TB SATA and one 150GB SATA. The 1.5TB is the C: drive of windows, and I've shrunk it to allow 80GB for linux.
So that is sda. sda1 is the windows partition and I make sda2 ext3 out of the empty space by choosing the custom partition scheme. It installs fine.
However, booting up the computer boots straight to windows. No GRUB.
I've reinstalled many times now, changing the GRUB from sda to sda1 to sda2. Nothing.
[url]
I've adapted that guide to CentOS and tried that, but whenever I select the CentOS option during bootup, the computer instantly restarts itself.
I've tried reinstalling the GRUB via a Live CD like many googled sites say to, but I always get errors.
If I find the /boot/grub/stage1, it says it can't be found.
If I try to setup GRUB, it says /boot/grub/stage1 is unreadable
So, I download the Ubuntu CD and install that. I use the guide previously posted to do the same thing, by installing GRUB onto sda2 where Ubuntu is.
So I pick that option on startup and it brings me to Ubuntu's GRUB menu. It all works fine. CentOS doesn't though.
Ubuntu is using GRUB2, so it has a grub.cfg file. Inside the file near the end, it lists Ubuntu as (hd0,2) and windows as (hd0,1).
That shouldn't be right? What's (hd0,0) then?
The CentOS grub.conf file lists CentOS as (hd0,1) and windows as (hd0,0). That should be correct. But I change it anyway to (hd0,2) and (hd0,1) and it still doesn't work.

I'm still not all confident using sudo, so if you could explain what I need to do in simple steps including the commands I would be ever so grateful. I need my Windows back 'cause while I'm perfectly happy on ubuntu at home, my boss at work thinks Linux is an exotic metalworking tool (or something like that).

I am new to Linux and was wondering how to make dual booting Windows and Ubuntu from 2 separate drives work. I have dual booted from the same drive but never different ones. If I install Ubuntu on the second drive how will I configure the system to let me choose on start up?

I would like to know if what I am thinking is possible and, if so how to set it up. I have a Compaq Workstation that I have loaded on it VMWare ESX 3.5 and FreeBSD. I have successfully edited the grub menu.lst file to boot into either, but i would like to select my choice from another machine running Win7 using Putty ( Since I only have one monitor and keyboard!
Once my workstation loads the grub, presenting the options of OS's, is there a way using putty or some other software GUI on my Win7 machine to see that grub menu and then select which OS the workstation should boot into? ( ESX 3.5 or FreeBSD - This would come in handy so I dont have to disconnect my monitor, keyboard and mouse each time just to select the desired OS!!!)

i decided to install ubuntu in my PC,i downloaded the .ISO image and i installed it in my USB. After trying it and all that i observed that i really liked it and i decided to formally install it to my computer in the hard drive. When i reached the partition thing,i selected to dual boot with Vista and select between each them in every startup,when i clicked FORWARD it gave me an error which i did not read(because,again im a noob) so i clicked cancel.
Today i wanted to go through the process again and now really install it,so again i went to the time zone part and i clicked forward but then,instead of taking me straight to the partition phase,it appeard a window saying "The installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions: /dev/sda ...." I clicked yes,to unmount this partitions so it took me to the partition thing,once there i selected the option to install Ubuntu with Vista and select between them i neach startup,then i clicked forward and went to the username/computer name process,once i finished i continued to the next part,the installation,but i selected to import all of my WIndows VIsta default user data,after that i clicked forward and went to the installation process,i went down stairs to eat soemthing while it finishes,i came back and it was finished,it asked me to reboot so i clicked in Restart Now.
When it tried to boot,appeared an error saying: Error: no such devide found: #################### Grub load(or something like that) grub rescue: and it was a command line,since there i havent been able to boot into vista or Ubuntu,im really scared because is the first thing related to OS installing ive done,so i booted my USB and ran the trial and right now im trying to find out what to do from that trial version.
I just went to the INSTALL UBUNTU 10.04 LTS application under the System>Administration Menu and found out that in the partition phase the Install and allow to select between both systems in eahc startup option,i dont know what to do,i foudn out that my HD has still all its data(MUsic/Videos/Folders/Programs/ect.)its just that i cannot boot from it. Also in GParted it appears as /dev/sda1/ and a warning icon besides it,also when i go into information, thers this warning there [URL]

I have a server with two ethernet ports. I configured eth0 to be static, set at 10.1.10.148. I plugged in another router into the other ethernet port in order to configure that router. I configured eth1 to use dhcp. Using /etc/network/interfaces rather than gnome network manager. When I did this, I lost internet connectivity (internet routes through eth0 of course)
- Why did I lose internet connectivity?
In order to recover internet activity, I had to disconnect the new router on eth1 of course, and do sudo ifdown eth1. That wasn't enough however. After rebooting numerous times and pulling out my hair, I finally tried configuring eth0 as dhcp, rather than static, and this fixed the problem.
- Why didn't sudo ifdown eth1 solve the problem? What information was saved between reboots that somehow remembered that I plugged in the new router? Because my thinking was if /etc/network/interfaces was identical, and the network topology was identical, after a reboot everything should be restored, but it wasn't.

I decided last night it was finally time I look at Linux. I've wanted to for a very long time, but was not keen on the learning curve. Anyway, I did a dual-boot with XP, which had it's own issues, but which I figured out with some info. Now my problem is I can't access the internet from within Ubuntu. It's finding the hardware, I think.
Below is data gained from lspci, nm-tool, ifconfig, and lshw.
jason@jason-desktop:~$ lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation E7505 Memory Controller Hub (rev 03)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation E7505/E7205 PCI-to-AGP Bridge (rev 03)

I seem to have a problem connecting to the internet with Ubuntu after dual-booting my new laptop with 10.04. I have a DW1501 Wireless-N WLAN Half-Mini Card in my new laptop, and I'm not sure what to do to fix this. The other computers I have running Ubuntu are much older and had everything run correctly right after the install.

I've just installed Fedora 10 to basically work as a NAS for another machine - but also serve a couple of web pages. After having alot of issues with network manager (with it changing the subnet so nothing would work), I'm now almost there:
I have two network cards connected in the server:
1) eth0 connects to a switch that ultimately connects it to the net (on a 10.0.0.* network)
2) eth1 connects directly into another server for backups (192.168.0.* network).
Now when I setup eth0, I get network access can ping/ update/ surf the net - absolutely no problems, but when I connect eth1 in - the net dies and nothing works, I can ping devices on both the 10.0.* and 192.168.* networks, just nothing past the gateway. I presume this is either a route or DNS issue, but am unsure about where its falling foul - both the resolv.conf file looks fine as do the ifcfg-ethx scripts.

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 installed Ubuntu 10.04 and it appears to be working fine except for one problem: the internet access does not work at all. It is supposed to connect through a wired LAN and can talk to the router but when it comes to opening a webpage or pinging a server it doesn't work. Firefox says that it can't connect and the ping does nothing.
The computer can connect fine when booting Windows XP, but on Ubuntu it can't. Here are some details about the two OSes:
XP: Connects to network and internet
Ubuntu: Connects to network but can't mount the 'Windows Network' folder which is the only thing in the Network directory. Can't connect to internet.
I'm on a Dell Dimension 2400.

I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell Inspirion 1501 and I can't get the internet to work. I've tried configuring a DSL connection from System> Preferences> Network Connections and It doesn't recognize the password. On Windows it works just fine.

I have installed Ubuntu on an other computer using a Ubuntu 9.10 cd and I can connect to the internet perfectly. Now that I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10, the internet won't work. I can see the connection but doesn't seem to be able to connect to it.
I remember having a similar problem with Ubuntu 9.10 on an different computer but I never found a fix to it. I tried searching for fixes to similar problems but none of them seemed to work.

I have just recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 and I can't get the internet connection to work. I have found out that the wireless adapter that is pre-installed in my laptop (toshiba satellite A665) has been interfering with the main wireless.
The adapter Ubuntu is trying to use it my WiMAX local wireless adapter which is incorrect. My main wireless adapter is my Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6250 AGN which Ubuntu can't find.

I just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. When I restarted, I admired the new login menu, then went to Firefox. I noticed that my wireless didn't work (it did in 9.04) Thinking I'd just need to reinstall the drivers, I plugged in the computer to a working Ethernet outlet with a working cord. I noticed that Ubuntu didn't tell me that Auto eth0 was connected. It didn't tell me anything. And then I went to Google and realized that the wired connection didn't work either. Then I came here on an iPod Touch and you know the rest.
Edit: And other devices work too on the network.

All my other systems work fine, tried setting mtu to 1492. Everything is set manually in network connections. Tried deleting and making a new connection. I set the dns servers in the /etc/resolve (don't remember the exact path.) I can ping servers fine. This was a fresh install of 9.10. Again, the internet worked fine until I installed the updates from the update manager.I had internet problems when I first started using ubuntu a couple years ago.

I have a desktop pc with xubuntu 9.10 32bit installed. I don't have direct access to this machine, but they told me that internet is not working (firefox, synaptic,etc...), but only skype works! If they reboot on windows, everything works well, so it's not a matter of connection or dns.It's very important because they work with that computer. How can i solve the problem? and what could be the cause of this strange anomaly

I've been running Ubuntu 10.04 inside Windows 7 (demo version) for 2 weeks or so now and I really loved it. So much so that, last night I decided to burn the boot cd and put a full installation of it on the computer, instead of using Windows 7. After doing so, I started getting some small problems.
First problem was with aMSN, the webcam doesn't work anymore. It used to work when I was using the demo version of Ubuntu, but not anymore. I had to use meebo to get it to work, don't think that's a problem with Ubuntu though.
Secondly, Firefox is running really terribly. Whenever I try to watch a video, it stutters REALLY bad, as if it's maxing out my CPU.
Third, I'm getting an error message whenever I start Google Chrome, it says:
"Your profile could not be opened correctly. Some features may be unavailable. Please check that profile exists and you have permission to read and write its contents."
It plays videos well but half time the audio doesn't work and I have to restart Chrome. (I tried uninstalling and reinstalling through synaptic, but that didn't work, the problem was still there).
Fourth and finally, the internet is just really really slow. Since the moment I installed the full version of Ubuntu it's be REALLY slow. I tried a download through bittorrent and the speeds were terrible, I ran a speed test while downloading (upload was limited to 5 kb/s) and I was still getting speeds of just around 10kb/s. So I closed bittorrent ran a speed test again and I had 1mb download and .75mb upload with 31 ping. I ran the test again and got 42 ping with same download and same upload. While I was downloading, the ping was 309. My normal speed is supposed to be 6mb download and 1mb upload
I guess version 7.0X had internet issues aswell because, when I did a google search for a solution, it turned up several results on how to fix it for 7.0X, which didn't work because the alias list didn't have anything in there. (the fix had something to do with ipv6). I tried direct connecting my internet and the speedtest results were normal, so I've concluded that it has something to do with my router. However, I don't know how to do a firmware update or troubleshoot the issue on Ubuntu. I finally decided to give up on Ubuntu and switch back to Windows 7. However, my drive is currently formatted into ext4 and I need to go back to NTFS, how do I do that? Could I just use gparted?

Every time I turn on my ubuntu box, it somehow kills our internet connection... yes, even through the router. The internet will not work until I call tech support and they run a line test. Then it works again as if by magic. I'm at a loss. A friend suggested maybe ubuntu is trying to establish itself as the dhcp server on the network? I have ubuntu 9.04, 32-bit, workstation.

i have a routed and a PPPoE type internet connection, recently i tried a thing in terminal with the pppoeconf option since the network manager has problems with connectiong to the internet with a pppoe DLS connection, or anyway in my case it does not work. Ok i did the pppoeconf thing i inserted my pass and my user and left the program to do its thing, ok it all worked fine but then i restarted my system and suddenly the network manager did not want to recognize my network it hat as options some weird ipupdown options for connection and when i tried the pppoeconf thing again it did not work. what could i do to reactivate at least one way my connection, if i understood correctly the terminal type connecting and the network manager are two different things. now i am using my router and it should connect but the network manager still does not see the connection.
