I have a server with 3 interfaces. Only one of them comes up after boot tho (the one with the cable plugged in). When I start dhclient the others show up in ifconfig... Could it be just cause there is no cable plugged in them? Or then how do i bring them up automatically without having to issue dhclient myself after boot?

I have two simultaneous active mobile connections through my two mobile phones and USB data cables. Yet I can only send/receive with one connection.
Each of the phone modems have a node in /dev, namely ttyACM0 and ttyACM0. So the modems are detected correctly. After setting up two dial-up connections with the two modems I have two ip's. Ifconfig-a confirms this:
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm configuring an HP Mini 110 (wireless BCM4313) to use it as a small Access Point (ad-hoc mode).
I want to make my configuration reboot friendly. With what I have right now, as soon as I reboot the laptop, the wireless interface configuration isn't correctly setup. I have to do "ifdown eth1; ifup eth1" manually.
Here is what I have in /etc/network/interfaces for the wireless interface code...
So the question is how can I avoid having to bring down and up the interface?
The adapter I purchased (Zonet ZEW2508 ) uses the Ralink 2070 chipset - a fact that originally excited me because Ralink seems to be fairly loving to the Linux community. However, despite my best efforts I can't get the thing to work. Initially I tried following directions to set up the driver you can download from the Ralink website. The directions I found were written February first, and Ralink updated the driver February eighth - so as far as I can tell the directions no longer work. After screwing around trying to figure that out for a while I decided to give ndiswrapper a go.
Initially this seemed promising. I just harvested the drivers from the CD and followed one of the many ndiswrapper directions available - most helpful seemed initially to be the Ndiswrapper Troubleshooting Guide found in this forum, however the solutions offered there didn't work either. When I throw an ndiswrapper -l into the terminal it looks promising at first, it tells me the driver is installed and the device is present, but it just doesn't work. When I try iwconfig, or iwlist scan it tells me "no wireless extensions," and "interface doesn't support scanning" respectively. The only devices even listed are lo, eth0, and pan0. There's no wlan0 or anything of the sort.
I have a Broadcom 4312 wireless chip. I have use the STA drivers that Ubuntu recommends. I can connect quite easily just by clicking on the icon, so this is more than a niggle than a problem.
My network isn't protected as we live in the middle of nowhere (quite literally) and network theft isn't a problem. We also run a self-catering cottage, and let guests have free access to our network anyway, so it is easier for guests to access our network without me having to give them all the key. When I did use wpa, it would start itself up with the laptop, so I kind of know that this might be the cause. Is there any way I can fix it without encrypting the network?
I have to type /etc/init.d/network start everytime after log in.I search little over internet and found out some command to fix it so i tried it but i got error response.Here is what i typed and what i got response.[root@winn ~]# system-config-netbootbash: system-config-netboot: comman not foundI also tried to find setting but i could not under Applications > System Settings > Server Settings > Network Booting Service.Also my ifcfg-eth0 files is below:

I have xbmc, a media center shell that runs on ubuntu. I am trying to set up a laptop to run it and be a full time media center. so far it works great, I installed xbmc live, but the only issue is I have a wep2 protected wireless router and the wifi does not connect automatically.
I have it set up and am using wpa_supplicant once those commands are run the wifi works great.I am a novice in linux in general, and can not seem to get this to work on startup, can anyone point me in the right direction on this? I haven't been able to find the xbmc start up script if one exists, I figured adding those lines to it might work,does this sound like a reasonable approach? if anyone knows where that is and how it is defined to be launched on start-up i would appreciate it(I guess this is getting into the general Linux knowledge but still good info)
I It does not start when the system boots. The smbd daemon is present and there are no suspicious messages in the system log, dmesg or the samba logs. The nmb service *is* enabled at all of the relevant run levels and does start if I issue the command "service nmb start" as root after I log in. This particular box's networking is 802.11n via a usb port and is under the control of the network manager. I have another fedora 12 box with an internal intel 5100 802.11n card and it does not have this problem.
View 10 Replies View RelatedSo I just partitioned my hard-drive, one side with windows the other to set free for ubuntu. It all worked fine. I put in the liveCD of ubuntu 9.10 and installed on to the partition. However, I have a problem. When it boots up it asks me to either boot into linux 2.6 or windows 7. Windows 7 works fine, but when I boot into ubuntu, the loading screen comes up and then it doesn't seem to boot into GDM. It's all command-line interface. I've tried sudo apt-get update and upgrade, but it isn't connected to my network yet so I can't do that. What can I do?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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 had an ATT Uverse RG installed. However my Smoothwall router that previously worked fine with the ADSL SpeedStream is no longer accepting an address assignment DHCP ip address from this new gateway. (3800HGV-B)Any thoughts ideas or experience working with this hardware? ATT only supports Windows and Mac

View 9 Replies View RelatedEver since I connected my MP3 player to ubuntu the music I put on it doesn't show in the players interface. The actual storage device seems fine and if I delete music off it removes it fine also. Basically, the problem is the MP3 player isn't now recognising new music being put onto it. This is also happening on my XP computer, the player was working on Vista a few days previous. Could it just be a coincidence my MP3 player breaks as soon as I start using Ubuntu or what do you think?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have only just got my first netbook and when I first installed 11.2 on it it would detect local networks and ask if I wanted to use any of them. Since they belonged to other people and I use a wired connection at home, I declined. I then took my netbook on travels and tried to connect to freely available networks there, but to my surprise it no longer detected them. I tried to go through YAsT and see what needs to be changed but no matter what I tried the wireless option was never offered again.
I have now come back and decided to get to the bottom of this. Here is what I get from iwlist scan:lo Interface doesn't support scanning eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.It is as if there has never been a wireless capability. Can anyone advise on what to do to fix this?
I am trying to connect my fresh new Ubuntu 10.10 to my router. However I am having a bit of difficulty. This is what I have done so far:
Code:
lspci
My devise is a Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 02). Then:
Code:
sudo ifconfig eth0 up
sudo iwlist eth0 scan
I get eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
Problem one: My keyboard wasn't working. Solution one: Needed a new xorg.conf file.
Problem two: How to open a programme in terminal without rendering the terminal unresponsive until that programme is closed. Solution two: Append a '&' at the end of the command. For example: gedit test-file & [/SOLVED]
The problem is, my keyboard doesn't respond when I first boot into Ubuntu. None of the keys seem to work except the 'power' key (which helps me turn this laptop on or off). During the second boot, I incessantly press the space bar hoping for something to happen. Only when the boot process completes and I see my desktop does the keyboard, finally, respond. That is precisely how I'm typing this very moment. I had not faced this problem on Windows. I use a laptop (an old one but not too old).
Nothing happens during the first boot regardless the key I press on any time.
It is a nuisance to restart my laptop and periodically strain my space bar for the keyboard to respond on the second boot (It refuses to respond on the first boot, regardless of what I do).
When I, sometimes, open files using gedit through terminal by typing: ~$ gedit PATH, what happens is that I am then unable to use any other commands on the same terminal until I close gedit or open another terminal. I can type in the terminal but nothing happens until I exit gedit. I would like my terminal to be responsive whilst I am working on gedit simultaneously. I hope it is not impossible...
The mouse has been working fine ever since we got Ubuntu 10.04, until I switched monitors. For some reason, after changing monitors from 4:3 to 16:9 and back, (changing the output res in the process), the mouse doesn't appear when starting up the computer. It still highlights things, and it will pop up completely when searching for something on Google Chrome, and a few other things. But for some reason, the mouse doesn't appear right away when starting up the computer. I'm not sure why this happened -- I'm new to Ubuntu, (used to Windows)

For a long time, I haven't heard a startup sound from Ubuntu. I do hear the short staccato drum beat when the log in screen is displayed. However, the other longer startup music doesn't play. Not a very serious flaw but since I upgraded to ubuntu 10.04, I thought I'd like to have everything in perfect working order.

3: Ubuntu
All OSes are working with no trouble. But when I try to boot into Ubuntu, I get another boot screen that states:

What could be going on, my install is inside Windows 7, not a full install if that matters. What is the difference between line 1 and 3?
A lot of times when I start up my computer, instead of the graphical login screen I'm brought to a CLI login. If I log in and do "startx," it'll start KDE, but sound doesn't work and the shutdown/restart options disappear. (The logout option is still there.) It's inconsistent; sometimes it'll start the GUI and sometimes it won't. I have yet to find out what causes it to work right and what causes it to bring me to the CLI. When it doesn't work, if I run "shutdown -r now" or "shutdown -h now," it'll start the GUI as the computer is shutting down. I've tried Ctrl+Alt+F7 when it's brought me to the CLI, but it didn't do anything
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop running 11.2 with an internal Broadcom-based Wi-Fi card that's working fine. I'm trying to get 802.11n going with the WUSB600N. The USB ID on this device is 1737:0079. I believe this means it's a "V2" with an RT3572 chip.
No driver loads for this device when it's plugged in. If I do a "modprobe rt2870sta", a driver loads, and syslog shows "rtusb init" and "usbcore: registered new interface driver rt2870". But ifconfig -a doesn't show a new network interface. I've also tried building the RT3572 driver from the manufacturer's web site. It builds fine, and modprobe will load it, but I get the same results as the rt2870sta driver.
I have problems with my USB driver. After adding my device (MSP430 USB-DEBUG-INTERFACE) it doesn't work.
