Tried to search for this but must not be using the right terminology. Anyway, last week did a clean install of Lucid in a triple boot alongside Hardy & XP. Loving everything about Lucid--boot times, user-friendliness, tweak ability, &c. But I fired it up this morning and no internet. Where to start looking?
View 7 RepliesI am running Ubuntu 10.10, and I would like to use my computer to share the internet connection from an ethernet port. For example, I would like to set up my computer as a wireless access point so I can create a network that other computers can connect to for internet.

It is most certainly my fault but I am now without a sound volume control and it does not show up in the add to panel.What can I do here? Does your icon have code that that I can use or can I find the file somewhere and create a link? Alsa mixer works ok and nothing is muted and I have sound so as to play music. The Internet connection and the power connection icons also don't appear.

I have installed Fedora 11 recently. I want to share my Internet connection.
I have e LAN connection eth0 which is connected to internet.
I have a Wireless connection wlan0.
I want to share my internet connection with wireless connection.
I have two linux laptops. Currently, I'm using both of them at work, side-by-side. Now the problem is, I'm connected to a wireless router, but the wireless only works on one of the laptops. So I'm stuck with one laptop that has no access to the internet. Both machines do, however, have working ethernet nic cards. So, I was wondering if I could use the laptop with the wireless connection to share the internet connection with my other linux machine and access the internet on both of them. Or as an alternative, just use the internet on the machine without wireless and be able to switch back and forth, that would increase my productivity like 30 fold.

In the early days Ubuntu Netbook Remix worked well for me. But this has been discarded, and the "one size fits all" Ubuntu had become slow and cumbersome. So..... onto my post. Opensuse is working well. The install went beautifully.
It detected the Wireless Internet and I am able to get on line. I also need to share the Internet connection to a desktop. This is done via a small network switch. Thus far I cannot do this. I tried to use ifup to configure a static ip but this busted my Wireless configuration. I went back to knetwork manager. Then I tried to set up the wired network using knetwork manager and under IPV4 "share" the connection. But this blanks out any possiblity of a static address and substitutes dhcp. My desktop cannot ping the this dhcp address. Ubuntu had this thing called Firestarter? - from memory. This configured the system to sharing the network.
The computer is a K9n6pgm2+ mainboard w/2gig of RAM and an AMD Phenom Triple Core. My Harddrives are /dev/sda=320gig and /dev/sdb=80gig. Resident on sda is Ubuntu 10.04 (fresh install) w/Windows XP installed at the final 40 gigs, installed after Ubuntu install and then used the 9.10 live CD to reinstall GRUB. On /dev/sdb is Ubuntu 9.10.I installed the fresh Lucid install 3 months ago when I purchased the 320 gig HDD to replace the failing 40 gig and it has run perfectly until yesterday. I presently have a 2Wire Modem located at 172.16.0.1 and I have a new Motorola in the mail but I presently cannot get Lucid to find my internet connection.
If I boot into XP everything is fine. i can go all over the net. If I boot into Karmic, all is well. I am typing this in Karmic so it is strictly a Lucid problem and I have tried all that I know to do and I really want my Lucid install back.
I have a Dell Studio XPS desktop too difficult to reach with cable. Instead I connect through a Dell Wireless 1500 Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini-card which works great with 64 bit Windows 7.
Installed Ubuntu 10.4 yesterday (wubi) but no wireless activity! Despite Googling extensively and reading through Ubuntu Forums I've not been able to find a solution so far.
I have the "Work Offline" problem: when I boot up, the icon on the toolbar tells me I have "No network connection". This is not quite true, since I can access the first page of any website - only subsequent pages are inaccessible. I get a message saying that Firefox is offline. However, when I uncheck "Work Offline" in the File menu, it makes no difference to this behavior.
The problem is on my Ubuntu Dell desktop, which is connected to the internet with cable broadband via a D-Link router (wired connection). It has worked fine up till now. I use Ubuntu 10.04 and Firefox 3.6.11. I am writing this on my Ubuntu Dell laptop which is wired to the same router, so I assume the problem is not the router. I have tried various strategies suggested in threads on these forums, including editing about:config, changing "allow" to "deny" in some lines of /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf and changing from Automatic (DHCP) to Automatic (DHCP) Addresses only, but no luck so far. The contents of ifconfig are:
eth0

If I comment out "auto eth0" as well, it makes no difference. If I uncomment both lines ("auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp") then I lose the internet connection altogether.
Just got Lucid and tried it off the cd before installation. The os sees the net OK, it downloaded updates without a problem, but firefox cannot see the net. Obviously I'm not going to install it until this works!I haven't found anyone else with the same problem in the forums, but the same problem exists on both my two different pcs.Under Karmic firefox works fine, but Opera 9.* had this problem, it could not see the internet no matter what I tried so I gave up trying to use it. Eventually Opera 10 came out and this worked fine. I'd prefer not to have to wait until mozilla fixes what ever this problem is in firefox 3.7, 4.0 or whenever!

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been using lucid ubuntu 64 bit on this pc for months with no problem till yesterday. I noticed yesterday that eth0 was no longer being set up on boot and so internet is not there now. I am currently on the internet using karmic ubuntu.
I'm thinking an update with aptitude? What can I do in lucid to get my networking working? I tried booting into recovery mode and repairing packages but my pc could not get on the net to check the packages.
I wanted to know if there anyway we can check -
a. Which are the applications using internet connection currently
b. Which website/url they are connected and how many bits are being downloaded/uploaded currently.
I have been looking for a solution to an apparently simple problem, but could not find anything for Lucid. All solution I found imply modifying files that apparently don't exist anymore (/etc/default/bluetooth, /etc/bluetooth/hid.conf, ...)I have an old laptop running Xubuntu (lucid). Internet card is dead but it has a bluetooth adapter in the USB port. I also have another laptop with internet, wireless, and bluetooth on board. How can I configure both so that the first access the internet trough the second?
- Internet works on the second (of course!)
- Bluetooth work on both, I can pair them and send file from one to the other (although I cannot browse them, but it seems to be an unrelated problem)
- I have blueman on both and tried to configure it to do what I want but it did not work (old computer has a bnep0 interface, but no address for it)
- Old laptop sees "Network access point" and "group network" as bluetooth services of new laptop (although I did uncheck "group network" in the local services setting on new laptop)
- as I said I looked on the web but only found solutions that appear to be designed for older versions of Ubuntu because they refer to non existing files on my two laptops.
I seem to have a problem connecting to the internet with Ubuntu after dual-booting my new laptop with 10.04. I have a DW1501 Wireless-N WLAN Half-Mini Card in my new laptop, and I'm not sure what to do to fix this. The other computers I have running Ubuntu are much older and had everything run correctly right after the install.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have one of these nifty Atom based "net-top" boxes that has built in wireless N and gigabit ethernet. the problem I have is that even when the ethernet cable is plugged in Ubuntu seems to be defaulting to use the wireless connection. This is a problem since in some areas of the house where I have a wired connection the wireless signal is pretty weak and so the ethernet traffic becomes spotty.
is there a setting somewhere where I can force ubuntu to prefer the wired over wireless no matter what, or to disable the wireless when the ethernet is plugged in?
I've been having problems with the Atheros AR5001 wireless card in my EEE PC. Whenever I'm connected to an encrypted network of any description (WPA2 at home, WPA-PSK at work), the connection will drop out after some time, ask for the key again, then will drop out after a shorter time. This repeats until it's continuously asking for the key. This is no problem with an unencrypted connection. I've installed the madwifi module as per the instructions in this thread, but that doesn't seem to have helped.Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS, 2.6.32-33-generic i686 kernel.

All of a sudden without rhyme or reason, My Lucid Lynx install stopped connecting to my network. This was without any intervention from me as I did not modify install or change anything prior to this happening.
What I have gathered so far is that upon initial boot eth0 seems to always be disabled. So I ifconfig eth0 up to bring it back online. All the settings in the network applet seem to be intact for my manual network that has DHCP disabled. Let me re-iterate that these settings worked fine for months then all of a sudden something went belly up. The same machine will connect fine with the same settings from within Win7.
ifconfig command shows both eth0 and the loopback interface but eth0 never manages to secure the 192.168.1.3 address that it should have. ping 192.168.1.1 returns "Network unreachable" so it appears the connection is being cut off at the machine and not the router. I did check to make sure the connection was even recognized and it sees the wired connection going to the router, but nothing else.
/etc/network/interfaces only shows two lines regarding the loopback interface and nothing else; eth0 seems non-existant within this file which I find odd.
I installed lucid netbook edition on my friends netbook and I am unable to connect to their wireless. The netbook is dual booting with xp and while in xp it is able to connect but once i boot into lucid it is unable to.
