Ubuntu Networking :: Way To Have Automatic Recognition By Apt?
Aug 31, 2010
I installed Ubuntu on a machine of our laboratory. Since we are at the university connections may pass through a proxy (whose url we ignore). All things concerning system update are nearly unusable. Several posts say to add in apt strings like $ export http_proxy="http:" $ export ftp_proxy="http:" but I don't know the url proxy at all.Firefox is set to "Direct internet connection" and all work well. In Windows all connection properties were set to "automatic" and updates were ok.Is there a way to have an automatic recognition by apt?

Using my usb mobile broadband dongle I am able to access the internet about 25% of the time. I am able to make a connection to the '3' wireless network 100% of the time, but often Mozilla and all other applications that rely on an internet connection do not recognise that this connection has been successfully established, and give me error messages claiming there is no internet connection.
I can't discern any pattern as to whether the connection will be recognised or not. When it isn't recognised, the only solution is to disconnect and reconnect to the network. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes restarting the computer fixes the problem, and sometimes it doesn't. I also have access to a wireless network at uni. I have no problems using this network whatsoever. Housemates using the same dongle on Windows have no problems. I'm using an Acer Aspire one, the dongle is a Huawei e220, I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. I have only recently reinstalled the operating system and have not needed to mess around with any network settings to get the usb dongle to 'work' the way it is currently.

I have two motherboards, MSI-6702 (64 bit single channel) and MSI-7511 (64 bit dual channel), I have two identical D-Link wireless cards and am running Kubuntu 10.10 on both systems. 7511 recognizes both wireless cards and connects to the Internet.The 6702 shows wireless grayed out on the connections page. The built-in Ethernet card has given out on both. I think I disabled it on the first system to have an Ethernet problem and wonder if I need to do it on the second. I would have tried it already but can' t remember how.

I didn't find a solution to making my 3G/GPRS "modem" reconnect automatically when the connection fails, so I made a solution of my own. It's very annoying when you're downloading a file overnight, only to find that the connection has failed 5 min after you went to sleep.Restarting the NetworkManager daemon makes it automatically connect to all configured interfaces, including 3G/GPRS, so I made a simple script to do that.First, we check if the modem is even connected. Replace Huawei with the brand you're using. Any unique word on the line in lsusb will do fine as well. Then we check if the connection is up, and if it is, we simply exit. Otherwise, the NM daemon is restarted, which causes the 3g/gprs to reconnect.

I like the faster boot of 10.04, but how do I get smbd to start automatically on a boot up?
Every thing is fine if I sudo service smbd start but I don't see where I'm supposed to have it run automatically on a reboot.

I'm running 10.04 LTS Desktop and I'm wondering if there any default packages that are automatically scanning for hosts? I'm on a university network and they're really touchy about any computers scanning ports/hosts and they keep disabling my computer. I'm just wondering if there's anything like that installed by default - maybe some of the zeroconf stuff?

I'm new to Ubuntu so bear with me. I installed 9.10 from a CD and it looks fine and works OK wired. However, my wireless keeps picking up a connection at home via my Linksys router that is not mine and I can't get around it, blacklist it or delete it. No matter what I do it keeps showing back up as an AutoConnection. It is the same type of router as mine but the security is different (I use WPA-Personal and the offender is WEP). How can I permanently blockdisableetc the extra connection? I can't get on my home network until the bad autoconnection is gone. More info: I use an IBM R40 into which I installed a Toshiba mini-PC wireless card. I know it works as I have used it to connect to other wireless networks other than my own. I prefer to leave my router configured as it is due to other users at home and the configs I use for them. I read about WICD if that is a possibility, but actually connecting wirelessly is not the issue.

I'm working in France right now. And my internet access is through a router on a local network (LAN) of the hotel in which I stay. In order to have internet access I must type in my room number, my name, check the agreement and then click Enter.The problem is that the router cuts off internet every two hours.What I need is some script that does the followings:
- detect if there is no more internet connection (the LAN connection stays on)
- if there isn't to run the script that does all those things above.
What I've managed to do is the script that puts room number, name, check the agreement and click Enter using DejaClick, making it a bookmark and then open the firefox and run the script.The command that I've used in Terminal and which I think I can use in my script was:
[URL]
It works well. It's connecting to the net.What remains is the detection of the cut off of the internet connection.
Tried with Wicd, going to the properties of the wireless connection and then on Script. here I'm stucked.Don't know what to do anymore.It has the post-disconnection script option, but my LAN connection is not disconnecting, only the Internet access through this LAN is disconnecting.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to change the behavior of Network Manager, so that it will only automatically connect to certain wireless networks which I specify, and not automatically connect to others I may have previously used. For example, there are a lot of wifi networks called "linksys", and I don't want the program to automatically try to connect to whichever one it finds.If someone can tell me in which file(s) the list of these connections is stored, I might be able to write a script which will edit that list on startup.

I just purchased a router that supports IPv6 and configured my eth0 to use IPv6. I have tried automatic and automatic, address only with no results. My Windows 7 and OS X 10.6 boxes both work w/o issue of need to change settings. I have done a bit of Google searching, but not found much in the way of useful advice. Can someone point me to a good article or let me know that the product is broken at this point.

connect to the Internet through my newly bought USB adapter, and it works just fine now... But - after boot I can't connect to the Internet before i open a terminal and type
either: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper - from the ndiswrapper-1.56 folder
or: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan - from the root
Both commands are some I learned during installation of the USB device - I don't know if any other commands would work;
It would be nice if my device connected automatically - is this possible?

Just fitted my netbook (Acer Aspire One) with 10.04 and now trying to connect to DSL Internet with Ethernet cable through Siemens 4200 modem.The "Ethernet" light on the modem does not come on as it does when i'm in Windows on the netbook nor as it does when I connect my desktop (with an earlier version of 10.04 with no wireless capability).

I have two problem with my wireless card:
- When I connect myself to a wireless network I must give the dhclient command, to obtain a local ip address
- The system say me that haven't a bluetooth adapter, and so I can't use bluetooh services (I've try by graphical interface and by console)
These problems began when I've passed to ubuntu 10.04!
My Wireless card is: Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5100

Distro: Debian (Testing), Wireless Card: Intel Pro/Set Wireless 2200bg
I am using Fluxbox as a window manager, and sometimes not using X at all, so I need to be able to be connected to some pre-selected wireless networks without the assistance of Network Manager.
I remember I used to be able to do this in Debian by editing /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, but it seems it has been moved. wpasupplicant is installed on this system however, I tried to do an apt-get install and it said that it was already installed.
While I was installing Debian (testing), it asked for an external source for my wireless card firmware. As I didn't have a flash drive handy, I had to skip this step and do the setup through a wired network connection.
After the initial install. I manually installed the ipw2200 firmware (I have an Intel Pro/Set Wireless 2200bg card). It looks like this worked because I was getting a missing firmware error when I was booting up previously, and it went away after I did this. I be able to check with modprobe? I'm a bit rusty with this.
I checked my /etc/network/interfaces file and it does not look like my wireless card is in there, I see the loopback and the wired card eth0.
This is my ideal setup:
1. Attempt connecting to wired network (if present)
2. Attempt connecting to wireless networks in this order:
a. Home (WPA protected, hidden SSID)
b. Work (WEP protected)
c. Library (Open, No security)

i have recently configured squid with dansguardian. Squid was running on a whitelist mode, meaning i deny every single traffic, and allow traffic that matches with what i allow only.
this however, introduced a problem where i have to manually update the list of sites allowed for kids, which is not efficient. is there any websites where i can use' wget' to download recommended websites for kids, and plug it into the list of allowed websites.
or I'm thinking that maybe if there's some way to write a script where it will automatically add the search results to the list, from reliable search engines like www.kidrex.org.

Currently, I would like to setup an automatic backup system, where the data on my computer is copied to an external harddisk which is connected to the router (Siemens SE551). This device theoretically allows setting up a file server, but unfortunately I can't access the share from Linux. I have not yet tried to access this share from Windows.
The rough plan is to use rsync and ssh, issued by a cronjob on both, my Ubuntu- and on my WinXP-notebook. But before considering this, I have to get my system connected with this drive.
BTW: I am using Ubuntu 10.4.
According to the SE551 manual [URL], NAS is not provided.
I followed this manual and set security OFF. According to the router's web interface, the device was recognized correctly.
I installed samba:
Code:
gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
#
# Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.
#
#
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the

After running a large update and rebooting a few weeks ago, I found that my internet connection had stopped working. My internal network still worked fine though, so it I know it's not the card itself or its configuration. After a bit of trial and error I discovered that simply running dhclient brings the connection up again, so it appears that something is interfering with the initial dhcp update to my ISP (or something like that; I'm no expert in this area. ) My usual policy in cases like this is to wait through two or three updates in the hopes that it's just a temporary problem, but it's been a while now and subsequent updates haven't fixed it.
I've tried looking around, but I can't come up with search criteria specific enough to narrow it down to my specific situation. I'm not even sure where to begin looking to diagnose the problem, nor do I know which package update(s) could've affected it. I'm not sure what might be useful, but here's the relevant entry in /etc/network/interfaces. I have it configured with a static internal address, with my router as the gateway.
Code:
# The primary network interface
mapping eth0
script grep
map eth0

I have a very simple setup
router DIR 100 4 ports
adsl connected to WAN
Linux connected to port 1
Mac connected to a port 2
I am trying to figure why linux hostname is not detected in my LAN. The strange thing is that my macs hostname is automatically detected and put in DHCP CLIENT LIST! I have scrolled the whole manual 10 times.
My Linux (Slackware 13) gets IP address automatically by DHCP server in router. Has anyone had this problem with routers in general?
Output from router DIR 100:

I have a Motorola phone, with a MicroSD slot, which my Ubuntu machine does not recognize as a USB drive.
It does know there is something there since
It automatically charges my phone whenever I connect it. using the command lsusb shows it as "Motorola PCS"
Is there a way to tell Ubuntu/Linux that the connected hardware is a disk drive?
