Ubuntu Networking :: Completely Borked After Reboot?

Sep 11, 2010

I made some updates and rebooted (out of necessity due to an old, mysterious glitch that made my keyboard stop working, along with cursors in text and most menus) and my laptop's networking stopped working altogether. Trying to access my home's wireless network only got me a "disconnected - you are now offline" after a long wait, which has happened before, but A) never before right after a reboot, B) the wired connection didn't work either when I tried it, which has never happened to me, and C) this persisted after another reboot.

Software :: Virtualbox On Sid - VM - The Screen Goes Black Then Computer Completely Stops Responding - Needs Hard Reboot

Jan 13, 2010

So I'm in need of VM'ing a couple OS's to keep from repartitioning and dual booting my desktop. The first I'm trying to boot is a 64bit version of windows (have XP and 7 disc, trying XP for now) as I need to convert some of my work's ancient programs that still use DOS functions.

I choose Virtualbox over VMware just for the sake of VB being in the repos. Install and initial config went fine, but when I try to start (run) the VM the screen goes black, then the computer completely stops responding and needs a hard reboot. Pasting what I believe to be the error part in the log. If you need the entire log I can email or host it - too big for a post. Kernel Version - 2.6.32-trunk-amd64. Debian Sid

Ubuntu Networking :: Get Rid Of Ndiswrapper Completely?

Sep 18, 2010

So after a quick look around the forums, I haven't seen anything on removing ndiswrapper. What I have done is removed ndiswrapper via synaptic. Now in order to start my wireless card I have to issue:

rmmod ndiswrapper
modprobe ath9k
ifconfig wlan0 up

Basically this is a pain. Does anyone know how to get rid of ndiswrapper completely and set things up to use ath9k automatically?

Ubuntu :: Upgrade From 8.04 To 10.04 Borked Compiz

Nov 25, 2010

The upgrade went fairly smooth, with a little effort got everything working except for Compiz. I couldn't enable desktop effects. So I decided to completely remove compiz with Synaptic and re-install. After removing compiz, compiz was no where to be found in Synaptic. Where did it go? How can I get compiz back? I have a NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT video card using the 256.53 driver.

Ubuntu Networking :: How To Completely Remove Wicd

Oct 21, 2010

Before I changed the faulty wifi card I installed Wicd. Incidentally it didn't remove Network Manager, a bug that's reported in Launchpad. With the new wifi working well enough with Network Manager, I used Synaptic to remove Wicid, or so I thought.I happen to be checking .xsession-errors and there's an error reported about wicid tray desktop. I removed it and no more errors appear.

After looking for advice here and on the web I used apt-get remove and purge yet a file search of wicd still finds 25 entries, in /etc/, /usr/ and /var/.Some are archives and some are logs but some aren't, why are they still there and can I clean things up?

Ubuntu Installation :: GRUB Is Borked After Last Update?

Sep 7, 2010

Whilst I've been using Ubuntu for years now, I don't really do much at the command-line, basically because I don't *have* to (which, to me is the beauty of this OS!). However, the last update via update manager has rendered my dual-boot with Vista on an Asus laptop non-functioning (at least Linux). What happens is this: after the BIOS splash screen, it says starting GRUB and then, instead of a menu of current and recent Linux versions and the Vista option at the bottom (white text against colour background) it now just shows one line of the menu in magenta... the rest of the menu is black, but the arrow keys will show the other options. Hitting ENTER does nothing: the text line is replaced with a blinking underline which goes back to the text in magenta again when i hit ESC. I can't seem to ESC or SHIFT to GRUB's command-line prompt at all. I've boot to the LiveCD and ran a boot_info_script in bash: here is what that revealed:

Code:

Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010
============================= Boot Info Summary: ==============================
=> Syslinux is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda
=> Windows is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb

Ubuntu :: Borked Computer Installing Ffmpeg From Svn

Dec 14, 2010

I'm running 10.10 and I have an ATI HD5470 and I was trying to add VAAPI support. I was told to compile and install a newer version of ffmpeg from SVN, which I did. I had to uninstall all the current/medibuntu libav* codecs to do so. I want to uninstall it but whenever I try to do anything in Synaptic it tries to reinstall the standard codecs before it can remove ffmpeg so it says

Code:

I can't uninstall this broken version and I can't get all the applications that had to be uninstalled back!

Ubuntu Installation :: Windows 7 Borked Partitioning

Jan 1, 2011

I attempted to install windows 7 to the partition where vista was installed. The install failed, think it's a dodgy burn, and obviosuly took grub with it. However it's also somehow screwed up the partitioning of an extended partition where instead of two ubuntu's, a partition for my media files and test partition for chrome all is left is a big chunk of 'unallocated' and swap. I found a recovery tutorial here but the instructions are little vague.

Ubuntu :: Upgrade To Natty Has Borked My Desktop

May 22, 2011

I'm was running 64bit maverick on an intel i3 clarkdale desktop; pretty much vanilla with the compiz spinning cube desktop displaying on my 720p HDMI telly. On 'upgrading' to natty my pc refused to display anything on the telly but can still be connected to via ssh. Assuming unity was the culprit I installed gnome and deleted unity; after plugging in a VGA monitor I finallly got an output onto a display device, then managed to configure the HDMI telly as a secondary display. Gnome is just a backdrop with no panels at all; I managed to get panels by ctrl-alt-T and typing 'gnome-panel &'; but this was only a temporary fix. If I try to run a terminal now it locks X and I can only restart via the ssh session.

Currently all I have if I boot is the gnome backdrop. The pc auto logs on (as it did under maverick) so alternate logon screens can't be accessed as pretty much all I can do is run stuff via an ssh shell on my other pc.

What I'd like to do is have my desktop how it was before natty trashed it. Preferably without unity or its very irritating scroll bar widgets.

Ubuntu Networking :: Cannot Completely Load Web Pages On Any Web Browsers?

Jun 22, 2010

I seem to have stumbled on a problem regarding internet connectivity. My web browser (Firefox or any other web browsers) can't completely load the desired webpages like yahoo.com or even google.com.But as I read different blogs in this forum, I have convinced myself that there is an internet connection.= when I ping different websites, Iseem to get good responses from those sites. Only when I need to browse the webpage do get no results.= ifconfig seems to respond well enough.= even "route" shows the IP my router/gateway correctly. The problem , I think, lies on the proxy settings or the DSN.

Ubuntu Networking :: Realtek RTL8168b Really Slow And Sometimes Goes Down Completely

Aug 11, 2011

Exactly the same computer have no network issues at all, when on windows. It is a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64 bit desktop. I have installed the proprietary driver for my nvidia card.

My motherboard is Asus P8P67 rev 3.0 Using scp, I'm getting 100-500kb/sec, if I get a connection at all. I have tried 2 different switches (both working fine in windows, though). Network goes down completley every 2 min or so, and is gone for 30 sec.

Some output:

dmesg | grep eth0:

Ubuntu :: Borked Hard Drive - Foxing & Recovering Data?

Oct 4, 2010

OK, was trying to make a live-usb boot partition on my 1.5TB HD; in doing so clicked a 'wipe disk' button.

A second later I realised what I'd done, clicked cancel (frantically), tried to unmount the drive but was told 'volume busy'. In a panic, unplugged the drive. Unsurprisingly, the drive is now a mess.

I'd had 1 30G FAT32 partition (empty) at sdd1, 1 1.5TB ext4 partition with about 500G of data at sdd2. Now according to gparted I have an unrecognised filesystem type; according to the 'Disk Utility' I have an unmountable 1.5TB FAT32 drive.

I know NOTHING about data recovery. If it's just a case of running a couple of magic 'check & fix' programs then I should be OK, but anything else and I'll have to take it to more skilled friends.

Ubuntu Installation :: Pure LXDE Borked Xsession Autologin?

Nov 28, 2010

Installed 10.10 Ubuntu and found the Dell D820 did not digest Gnome that easily. I tried adding Lubuntu from repos after adding PPA. Seemed unstable to use, so I followed Psychocat direction for Pure LXDE and removed Ubuntu. Now login is giving error "xsession:unable to launc "openbox-gnome" X Session --- "openbox-gnome" not found; falling back to defaultsession." Where do I correct the xsession login to allow auto login. (I know the chances for autologin, and still choose to use it)

Fedora X86/64bit :: 64-bit Ethernet Drivers Borked?

I just upgraded to Fedora for the first time. I've been using Debian 32-bit forever. I thought I'd try Fedora 11 64-bit. Everything was working fine until yesterday's LAN Party. I could not setup a BZFlag server that others could connect to until I booted up a KNOPPIX 32-bit DVD! Is there something buggy about the 64-bit ethernet drivers or am I missing something here

Slackware :: Slack 12.2 -borked Superblock On /dev/hda8?

Jan 5, 2010

/dev/hda8 is /home on this laptop. It must have been reading/writing when the battery died and now /home won't mount. I get the "is this a zero length partition?" error when running e2fsck. I've searched a bit and have gotten *mount -o sb=n /dev/hda8 /home* as a potential solution but I'm confused about the value 'n' suggested. When run as I wrote it, it fails with a 'no such partition' error. Can anyone point me to a solution for re-creating the superblock to get this partition mountable again?

Fedora Networking :: Completely Unable To Access The Internet?

I've tried things such as grep 'Ethernet' /var/log/dmesg, filling in the information into the network settings manually, to no avail.

Fedora Networking :: Web Pages Dont Load Completely ?

Dec 14, 2010

I am using BSNL WLL (Wireless Local Loop) on my Fedora system to connect to the internet My modem is Huawei ETS-1201, I use wvdial The problem is that, on every linux distribution I tried, Webpages dont load or load incompletely randomly This happens most during peak net traffic. I tried to edit the /etc/ppp/options file to set my MTU and MRU to 576

But, It does not seem to be working. There is no such problem on Windows and I can connect flawlessly I takes several retries to connect to a site. I sometimes become frustrated with this and switch to Windows But as you all know, Windows is not the right OS for people who want more from their computers.

Below my specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
Intel BOXDG43NB
1GB DDR2 800MHz RAM
WD 320GB 7200rpm HDD

After install completed, I found there was no boot loader entry for WinXP during startup. Only SUSE-related stuff. I opened YaST boot loader and tried creating an entry of type "other" and device of "/dev/sda1" and set this as the default entry.

The /boot/grub/menu.lst file now has an entry:

Ubuntu Networking :: Installing Mobile Broadband - Froze Completely - Networkmanager Refused To See The Modem

Mar 8, 2010

I am trying to switch to mobile broadband, Ubuntu 9.10, Huawei E1750 modem, provider Telia Sweden. So far I tried this:

(previous: tried to get started with an Option Icon 550 modem, but could not do it. Ubuntu froze completely, networkmanager refused to see the modem after this. Read somewhere that it is (next to) impossible with Ubuntu, but Huawei is a better chance. Maybe I changed some settings on the way, went and got a Huawei)

-connected modem, nothing happened

-rebooted to Windows Vista, installed modem

-rebooted to Ubuntu networkmanager sees the modem, when I select it, it gives a message 'GSM network, disconnected'

Also: Ububtu sees the usb stick as a folder
