I am having a heck of a time trying to find directions on networking my two computers together in order to share files. I have two machines running Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop & Netbook remix.
They are both connected to my wireless router to connect to the internet.
So I'm having DNS issues (with my router it takes too long to resolve) with 9.10. If I'm using GNOME I can just change the preferences. But where do I find those preferences on the filesystem?
I modified /etc/resolv.conf to just use Google DNS and it works great, but then something overwrites it with my router DNS. I guess that's a generated file, but what do I edit to change the generator?
Ubuntu 9.04 running on a Dell C640 with a Dell TrueMobile 1150 wireless card. Works perfectly under XP. Ubuntu can't find it. Wired networking finds the internet perfectly (though I'm still working on getting samba set up correctly for file/print sharing on my XP LAN).
I'm thinking I need a driver, maybe? Can't seem to locate one.
I have recently switched my samsung n130 with windows 7 starter to the ubuntu netbook remix. When I go onto it, it doesn't even look for a wireless connection. All there is is a wired auto ethos. How can i get my netbook to recognize my wireless connection in my house?
I'm trying to get online on my laptop, I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 (Side by side with Windows 7.) I'm looking over the networking help files, as well as the troubleshooting and nothing seems to be working. [URL]. From this troubleshooting guide it tells me to open the terminal and type the command "sudo lshw -C network" and when I do, it asks me for my password but when I try to type it, nothing comes up. So I run it without typing sudo. It says "*-network DISABLED" which in the troubleshooting guide means that my router is off, but I'm clearly online on this computer as of right now.
I am trying to configure a Travelmate 2490 to connect to my wirelessr router, a TP-Link TL-WR941ND. It does not show up in the list when I use network manager. However when I look to see if there is a driver for my wireless network in the computer it seems to find one. I am quite a beginner so some basic troubleshooting would be great.
i am trying to figure out what my real internet connection speed is. when testing in speedtest, speakeasy and similar sites i get from 5 to 7,5 mbps in downloading (my line is 8 mbps). but when downloading something from the net the max speed i get is 900 kbps
Have Ubuntu 10.10 on Toshiba Laptop and Brother Wireless printer HL-2170W Everything worked OK and could install printer and print. However now system will not find printer, only thing I can think of that is different is that I installed all updates a few nights ago. If I go to System/Admin/Printing/Add Printer/Find - it will not find it. Have removed and reinstalled the Cups printer config tool. I am new to Linux. System will print when booted to Vista.
I have installed Mediatomb on my ubuntu server as instructed. I can use the Webinterface and so on, but i cant find ther mediatomb server from my Samsung TV.
I've just bought a GEETEK Hercules USB Wlan adapter, which has the Ralink rt3072 chipset. The Connection manager can find wireless APs, but it won't connect to any of those. Also, aircrack-ng does not find any APs while scanning.After some tinkering and a lot of restarting, I can now connect t wireless networks, although slowly. However, I still can't use it with aircrack-ng.
I have 3 pc's on home network. All dual boot Windows and Ubuntu. All have Samba installed, plus personal file sharing. When all 3 are booted into linux, all 3 show the public folders on all 3 pc's, but only 2 can access the other pc's folders.
I can't find any difference between the systems to explain why one pc (10.04) cannot mount either of the other two public folders: Unable to mount location. DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)
even though their icons are shown in 'network'. The public folder on the troublesome pc can be accessed from the other two (10.04 & 10.10).
I was using ubuntu 9.04 and everything was working flawlessly with my network. The only problem with 9.04 is that it was unsupported and I couldn't install the packages I wanted to such as Cairo dock so I decided to upgrade to 9.10 which is a lot better. However I ran into a problem that I never had on 9.04. I cant connect to MY wireless network (my Belkin wireless card can detect networks but not mine) I have a netgear router WNDR3700v2 with WPA2 encryption. I thought that the encryption was the problem so I turned it off and ubuntu could still not find the SSID through the network manager. My SSID broadcast is on.
How can I find out which Bluetooth profiles are supported on Ubuntu 9.10?Sometimes I see a device say that it needs a certain profile and I would like to be able to see the list that my laptop supports.
I'm new to Linux and Ubuntu 9.10. I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 on an older Compaq Presario 6100. Initially my built in wireless was not working. I searched the forum and was able to get my wireless working (I think) by installing the BCM43XX driver. I assume that works on my computer since I believe the BCM4306 driver is needed. Anyway, assuming my wireless is working, my home network does not show up in the pick list when I go to network<wireless.
I've spent a couple of hours already researching this and up someone can help me out. I would really like to give this new system a try.
I know some wireless card can work in Master Mode but it seems use madwifi driver. I know madwifi doesn't support usb dongles find a usb wireless card which can work as AP under Ubuntu. I have check this list [URL] I am not sure if ar9170usb.ko and its device support Master MOde.
I feel rather daft asking this but I can't find the option. I have gftp connected to a remote site and I want to edit a file. I click on the edit option and get an error that I must specify an editor in the options dialogue. I can't find the options dialogue can someone tell me where it is.
I did a full install of 9.10 on my Dell Inspirion 1200 laptop & use a Dell 1350 card, after several posts and replies I went to [URL]and followed the instructions for Ubuntu/Debian. This is the result I get....
mike@mike-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [sudo] password for mike: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
[code]....
I followed this procedure before installation (live CD) and it successfully found and installed the firmware. Apparently it was saved in live CD. What do I need to do?
I am new to Ubuntu and have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell D600. My wired network is working perfectly however, my wireless card is unable to detect wireless networks. I am using a Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 wireless card. I have updated the drivers and it is installed correctly as far as I can tell. My card seems to be working, but it doesn't detect any wireless networks. I know that my wireless is functioning, because I can log on successfully with a windows laptop. In addition there are 5 or 6 other networks available, so it should be able to detect something. I am new, so please let me know what information you need and, if possible, how to find it.
Here is the results of "lshw -C network" from the terminal below:
