Ubuntu Networking :: Wifi Sign-in Causes Total Freeze: 10.10
Nov 9, 2010
I installed 10.10 this morning from the live CD. Everything working perfectly whilst at home, but now I'm on the move I'm having troubles.At my parents' house trying to connect to their wifi. Wifi is on, their network is detected, I can go in and enter the WAP key and I get the strobing wifi icon in the top panel as though it's signing in, but after about 4 seconds I get a black screen and everything freezes. All that remains on the screen is the mouse pointer in its last position and a non-flashing cursor in the top left.
Ubuntu boots fine with wireless turned off via the laptop wireless button on the case, and fine with wireless on but no networks remembered, but as soon as I try to connect to a network, I get the strobing wireless icon in the top panel and then the whole system freezes. It switches to a black screen with a non-flashing terminal cursor in the top left corner of the screen plus a frozen mouse pointer in the last position from when Ubuntu was working. If I force a power-off after this, which I have to, then unless I manually turn off wifi using the laptop button then Ubuntu never boots and I just get a black screen after the BIOS screen. I can connect to the internet via wired connection.
I'm having a problem with my Ubuntu 10.10 system. After installing the OS it worked fine. But after one or two restarts it totally freezes i mean NO Ctrl+Alt+Bckspc , NO Ctrl+Alt+F1 and Ctrl+Alt+Del works for me. I have the same problem with Ubuntu 10.04 , 9.10 also. ( Only Ubuntu version 9.04 Works fine for me ). But i want to make use the latest one. code...
After Ubuntu fails some time it crush the GRUB loader, so that i can't boot windows either. Any buddy tell me why this happen to me?
I've try to install Linux Mint 10 also but it freezes while installing..!!
Now I loaded the openSUSE 11.4 milestone 3. It works fine for now but i can't connect to internet , it asks for "linux-atm-lib" . i don't know how to do that .
Im running 9.1 64bit and whenever i put in a blank dvd it freezes about the time the auto play would pop up. used to work on the 32bit version i had before...? it works fine if i put a reg cd/dvd in. it causes total lock up too, have to restart manually.
I'm experiencing constant system freezes, and was wondering which log file to view in order to determine what is causing it. I switched over from linux mint as it was giving me the same issues now being experience on my debian setup.
When my system does freeze, the keyboard is unresponsive (caps lock won't even turn on) and I have to use the power button to get out of it. The only thing that does work is my wireless mouse which I can still move around.
Ubuntu 9.04, all updates Latest firmware, etc abit SG-95 motherboard 2 GB Ultra DDR2 Intel Celeron 360 cpu PNY GeForce 9500 GT video
Started 2 weeks ago, random and total freeze of system (video, keyboard, mouse).
Nothing useful in th log, other than it occurs at the same time syslogd restart show up in the log.
I don't even know where to begin, or how to troubleshoot the issue if nothing shows up in the log... could use some help, please.
Problem occurs with or without the nvidia drivers installed. Ubuntu or windows, same thing..connected or not connected to the internet
I've ran every memory test I can find, with no issues reported. HD seems OK. No other symptom that I can find, other than it croaking, usually when I'm in the middle of a broadcast or recording.
Is the only machine I have for now, I need to figure out what's wrong and replace it as quickly as possible, so I can get back to work.
I have installed Slackware 13.1 without a problem and have a working wired ethernet connection. However I need to set up wireless but each time I try to do this using wicd I have a total system crash during the start up screens at the very last line before the welcome line appears.
Nothing works to resolve it, and I need to press and hold the start button and restart. I have checked the md5sum, installed the software again several times but the same happens each time which results in me having to reinstall.
I have installed wicd using slackpkg update, then slackpkg install wicd.
I have also tried downloading wicd from the slackware /extras folder and installing it on its own. Either way the same happens.
I have tried various manual approaches to setting up wireless following various links but again without success.
I now have a clean install again but am not wanting the same to happen.
Can anyone suggest what I might need to do?
I am using an intel Pentium 4, 2.53 ghz, 512Mb ram, GeForce4 MX 440.
Using karmic on acer aspire 5332.Wifi was working from fresh install but would drop out often and sometimes freeze laptop resulting in hard reset.Installed Ndiswrapper to try wireless drivers unfortunately i can't get them to work. How can i revert back to original ubuntu drivers?
I have a problem my ubuntu is the latest distro but the shiftkeys are not working like when i whant an @ sign i cant make that sign the keybaord layout has been changed i even have done most of the solutions found on the site and no use.
when ever i try to sign in to my messaging system it gives me this message and wont let me sign in,< Received unexpected response from [URL] useTLS=1 is not allowed for non secure requests.>
Sorry about this but I'm trying to find out why ubuntu wi-fi isn't working now on my laptop (it was last night). I am following a tutorial that says to start..Open a terminal window (such as gnome-terminal), and enter the following command:
nm-tool Umm..how do I open a teminal window? I know how to run a DOS prompt in Windows but no idea how to find "gnome-terminal" or run a command in ubuntu.
DM9, 2GB RAM, 32GB SSD, Ubuntu 10.04 UNR.At Panera and at my local library there is a page that comes up when I try to connect to the Internet that is an agreement page. It comes up with my iPod Touch and with my MacBook. Using my DM9 that page does not come up for me to sign in so I can't get on the Internet.I have had Firefox and Chromium running at different times with the same results. When there is a WEP password or no password it connects. What do I need to do to get connected to the Internet at Panera and the like?
Lets assume we have a 100mbps connection between two servers in same switch. then How much is the total throughput of the connection between servers. For example if I am downloading with 70mbps from other server , do I still have 100mbps upload BW available ? or 30mbps is available ? in other words for a 100mbps connection , the limit of download+upload is 100mbps ? or we have 100mbps download and 100mbps upload available ?
Is there any way of limiting total download from a particular ip in a month with the help of squid proxy. Through delay pool I beleive we can limit the download speed.But I want total download limit for particular ip or user
Dell Mini 9, 2GB RAM, 32 GB SSD, Ubuntu 10.04 UNR . At Panera, and other places that have free Internet access but require signing in on a page they load, I cannot get on to the Internet. Their sign-in page comes up on my iPod Touch but does not come up on my DM9. This happens no matter which browser I have running on my DM9 (I have Firefox and Chromium). And since I can't sign in, I don't get onto the Internet. Initially I am connected to their router and the signal is strong but because I don't sign in (I'm assuming here), I am disconnected. What do I need to do to see their sign-in page so I can get connected. At locations that have no sign-in pages I have no problems whether or not a password is required.
My laptop has an internal wireless device and a button to turn it on/off, but since it has bad reception I use an external USB wireless adapter.The problem is that if I turn the internal wireless device off using the button, it also turns the USB wireless adapter off.Is there anyway to use the killswitch (the button) only for the internal wireless device?This only started to happen in Ubuntu 10.04.
I have only had a few weeks worth of experience with linux, so I'm probably considered a newbie at this but I felt like giving it a shot. I just configured my new Toshiba Satellite A505-S6969 to jaunty. Most of the transition is going well but I'm stuck with a few issues, one of which is getting my wifi to work. Right now I'm working off of an ethernet cable.spci returns

I have an LG R-450 laptop with Ubuntu 10.04 installed in it. When I connect him to a network (either LAN or Wireless) it stays connected for a few minutes and then Just disconnects (without showing any sign of disconnection except no internet/skype/dropbox). Only way to renew connection is after startup. The network controller is SIS 191 Gigabit Ethernet adapter.
I have a pc which has 2 network cards, 1 wifi and 1 ethernet card.
I'm using wifi card to connect to wifi network (internet) and i'm planing to share this wifi/internet connection via ethernet to wireless router (siemens sx763) so i can have internet on my other devices, e.g. mobile phone, laptop.
I am running (K)Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 64bit on a Dell Latitude E6400, WiFi Card Intel 5100. Never had any problems with networking. Up to about 2 weeks ago. I do realize there have been quite a few posts with this network adaptor, but non really described the problem I have here.
What happens is that suddenly the WiFi LED on the computer stops blinking, the WiFi connection gets disrupted, and the device is not recognized anymore when checking ifconfig. Only cold restarting the machine helps then... it will work for a while (between 1 and 20 minutes) and then crash again.
On Windows 7 the card works perfectly fine. With Ubuntu 11.04 in Live CD mode I have the same effects (connection crashes after a while). Also tried booting an older kernel, no success.
My exact hardware:
Code:
I notived the following problems in /var/log/kern.log
I have 2 connections, wlan and wired, and I'd want to have a few websites (in my browser) to connect through the wireless connection while other go through the wired rj45 connection. s it possible? (without unplugging the rj45 cable...)
the only error message I can find comes from "dmesg|tail"all it shows is "no IPv6 router"any body know what is going on here or where where to look for more clues the next time I get around public wifi Oh the windoze washers and apple polishers don't seem to have any problems at all
I have an old PowerBook G4 that I would like to use as a 'dummy' computer for learning wireless penetration (WEP/WPA attacks) more effectively. I had been using a wireless router, but I gave it away I can use Mac OS X to share an ethernet connection over wifi, but this is _very_ un-configurable. You get two options only, WEP and a key-length. So, I would like to install someway to make this wireless connection more configurable.
I have a Ubuntu 10.04 fresh installation on my HP laptop. Installation successful and boot OK. But the desktop randomly freeze. During freeze(about 15s each time), all programs are not responsive. Sometimes I can switch program by click, but program seems locked. How can I know which module cause the freeze?
The 486 kernel works just fine, and while I have only 1GB of RAM at the moment I hope to have 2GB someday and would like to take advantage of the dual core CPU, so I would like to configure grub to run the 686 kernel by default. For whatever reason, it runs the 486 right now and the 686 fails in a major way: there is no network connectivity at all. It could be plugged into my cable modem router and it shows no wired connections. The fact that one works and the other doesn't puzzles me since I haven't touched either since the install and a few rounds of upgrades.
I should mention I'm newbie but getting better; I managed to install debian on this x60, yet while preserving the factory install rescue & recovery partition and preserving the factory install MBR so that ibm-specific hardware functions (thinkvantage button, etc.) still work. This required me to use dd to copy the first 512 bytes of my debian partition to a file in the windows partition, etc., and modifying the windows bootloader. (I wish I had learned dd long ago--it rocks). I did this because if I ever resell the X60, the fact is most people use MS Windows and having that partition adds a perception of value to some potential buyers; not to mention I paid $ for it (I was young & stupid) so why should I delete it. I also backed up the recovery partition on another drive using dd over NFS in case the hd ever heads south.
Anyway, I've never been comfy with messing with the kernel. I did once recompile a module for ALSA because it had a bug in it for an old Yamaha integrated sound card on an old PIII and the newer version worked [alsa fails on this x60 too but I think I found a post on here that has a solution I will try later]. But I'm clueless as to networking modules, not to mention the correct module is installed already from Intel for this chipset. So what is there to do?
Here's a clue: the ifconfig output is radically different from the 686 and 486 kernels. Looks like hardware is not being detected since eth0 fails to show:
I would show the diff output below if it weren't so long--and not allowed--upon 2 text files, the first holding the output of modprobe -l under the 486 kernel and the second under the 686 kernel.
