one of these "WiFi works in Gnome, not in KDE" threads, but I have been all over google and hundreds of threads across different sites and can't figure this one out.As mentioned, wireless is peachy in Gnome, unfortunately I like KDE and I'm more productive using it (when I have internet). Wired network works fine in KDE, and my network card

I just installed the latest openSUSE on my laptop. I actually had wireless working. Then it stopped. Wireless is fine on my desktop computer. When I take the cable from my router and plug it into the laptop then I have internet
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have to report that I am unhappy with the idea of taking away Gnome. I use a tablet, thus I use CellWriter. CellWriter works fine on 11.04 in Gnome but not in Unity. Additionally, CellWriter uses a system tray icon, which doesn't exist in Unity. I don't like my destop experience in Unity. It doesn't agree with the way I interact with my computer.We have Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu. I would like to request that we fork a Unity distro and keep a Gnome desktop for users to choose.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI originally installed Ubuntu 10.10 in my computer, but as it is an older machine, it was too heavy for it. Threfore, I installed the xubuntu-desktop package available at the Synaptics package manager. From then on, my system began behaving pretty much like a pure Xubuntu 10.10, or at least as I think it should be. I still have the option of selecting between a Xubuntu and an Ubuntu session at start up.
That said, there is a little thing that is annoying me. While the sound in Ubuntu sessions are just fine, it is too quiet in Xubuntu ones. Let me elaborate: I think that the maximum volume is the same, but while Ubuntu's volume curve is a straight born from an arithmetic progression one, Xubuntu's sounds like a curve born from a geometric progression, that is, it is too quiet at lower levels, reaching its maximum very abruptly. I control sound using volume keys, and the computer reaches maximum volume in 20 pressess. While in a quiet place I can reach a nice, audible volume at 3 pressess in Ubuntu, in Xubuntu I only start hearing something at the 10th or 11th press.Is there any way to make Xubuntu's volume control behave like Ubuntu's?
On my Acer netbook (AOA-150-1635) the wireless works fine with WinXP, Ubuntu, and used to work with Suse 11.1. I replaced the Suse 11.1 with a clean network install of Suse 11.2. I couldn't get the wireless to work and did another network install using the wireless. When the install was completed I could not get the wireless to work with Suse 11.2. When I run the "collectNWData.sh" it shows--
!!! CND0120E: Network card wlan0 has no IP address
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
[code].....
I looked up error CD0120E and changed the network devices setup to "traditional". The wireless "scan" picked up the routers and I added the encryption keys. Still no joy. I ran "collectNWData.sh" again and it said it is better to use the Network Manager.
!!! CND0180I: The system can't ping external IP address 195.135.220.3
!!! CND0150E: There might be a problem with the default gateway definition 10.1.1.1 on interface eth0
[code]....
Going back to Yast, Network Devices, I set Network Manager. The result is that it is back to the beginning with "collectNWData.sh" giving the original error.
I have wubi Kubuntu installed and had no problems with wireless at home. Starbucks uses the Bell network for free wireless access, and in Windows I can use it without problems. It is the typical free network, that immediately asks you for a login name when you try to use a web browser. When I do it in Ubuntu at Starbucks, it sees the network and "activates" it, but when I go to Firefox, it does not ask for the typical login information. It can't find any web pages at all.

I have had no problem with it for months, and then all of a sudden my internet doesn't work. It says that it is connected to my router but i can't connect to the internet. Typical troubleshooting has not helped. Most advice I have gotten was to try installing the NDISwrapper, but Ubuntu won't let me install it without internet access (that, or the package I tried to use from my USB is messed up??).

Rebooting back to WinXP, it works fine. The 'sudo lshw -C network' command shows "disabled". Ubuntu sees it, its just disabled. The help file says to make sure its on. It is - there is no physical switch..I am VERY new to this, with no programming experience to speak of.

I'm fairly sure that this is an Ubuntu issue, as I've tried this on my windows computer with success.I'm running a minecraft server on my laptop, previously over a wireless connection but the data rates were too slow. On a wired connection, however, the server starts up and runs like normal but the port is not open when accessing from the network's public IP. I tested this with canyouseeme(.)org. I can get to it from other computers within the network by using a local IP, which to me seems a little strange as it seems to indicate that the port is open on the PC but somewhere in the router it gets confused due to being wired(?). Obviously I've forwarded the ports on the router (BTHomehub 2.0) with both TCP and UCP (it worked over wireless!). Any suggestions as to what might be causing this? I'm stumped.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a DSL connection attached to a wireless router at home which at the moment working fine on my windows laptop. However I have problems connecting to the internet via my desktop which has fedora on it and TP-Link PCI Wireless card. The connection with the wireless network keeps restarting, disconnecting and reconnecting and when it is connected either no internet or very slow sluggish internet barely loading the webpage title.
I installed Ubuntu and the same problem is happening.Yesterday However everything was working fine even on the desktop.
When I first installed Fedora about 4 days ago I had the same problem but when i restarted the computer everything worked fine. Restarting the machine does not seem to solve the problem now.Please help me diagnose the problem here as it's really hard for me to extend a cable from my desktop to my router. And I need to internet on my Desktop.
I am unable to connect to a WEP-protected network. the Network manager log shows either a DHCP timeout, or a failure to associate. (attached below).Changing to WPA is not an option, as the network is not controlled by me. This is with the rt61pci driver for a Ralink 2500 series chipset.(Rosewill RNX-G300EX card)Manually forcing an IP does not result in a connection either. This is with the latest OpenSuSE 11.4, all patches applied. Router is a D-Link DIR-613, and I know the passphrase I'm using is correct because it connects both on my Android (what else?) phone, and my lappy when I boot XP.

I just got Ubuntu and am new at this stuff. I have a dual boot windows 7 64 bit one and ubuntu 10.4. I booted ubuntu at startup and then tried to go online, but it says my wireless device is disabled. I tried pressing the keys on my keyboard to see if that may work, but it doesn't. I am lost and new at this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy wireless was connecting fine, but it was impossible to browse with. So, after searching around for a while I found a thread where it said to enter this and reboot.
#echo "net.ipv4.tcp_moderate_rcvbuf=0" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
#echo "net.ipv4.tcp_default_win_scale=0" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
But after entering that and re booting, now I cant even connect to the wireless. It says connecting but times out.
I've recently salvaged a computer I found gathering dust in the basement and decided I'll have it running on Fedora (I have a summer studentship coming up that needs Linux use so I thought I'd best start learning!). Following a clean install, Fedora can see the wireless network just fine. I try to connect and nothing happens. Half of the time it will ask for the PSK (yes, I promise I'm entering it correctly) and the other half of the time it will just stop. When it does ask for the PSK I enter it (correctly) and it will ask me again... and again.

I have an older laptop (P4 Compaq Presario 2110; 512mb RAM) on which I installed Lubuntu 10.10. I am using a Buffalo wireless G PCMCIA card (Broadcom 43xx chip set) on the LXDE side which works perfectly. Out of curiosity I installed 'icewm' and 'openbox.' My wireless card shows when I check lspci as "UP." Using wicd, I can see networks, but my router will not resolve an IP address. NetworkManager does nothing.
I have tried using both ifconfig and iwconfig commands with no love.
Is this something inherent with lighter WMs and desktops? Is there a means to allow my router assign an IP and why would it be different for a different WM? Should the IP address be assigned to the computer?
I can connect to the internet fine, but it refuses to go any quicker than 1mbit. Below is my recent result from [URL]
My iwconfig shows...

lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

I am running my wifi using YAST and IFUP. The card is a zd1211, and works just fine. However lately I have have to "start" it manually after booting. The only way I have found to do this is to open YAST >network settings> and "edit" the card, but NOT change anything, just click through the next buttons and it connects. I have tried using the settings "on boot" and "on hotpug" but always when I reboot, I have to go through the YAST rigmarole. This is a PITA. I am trying to avoid NM as I want to sort this out, not cover it up with more software.

I have Dell Inspiron 1545. It works fine on wired but fails on wireless.
I am using wicd as an interface.
It always comes up with the following error: Connection Failed: Bad password.
I have checked the passwords in both wicd and the router.
They seem to be the same. Am I missing something ?
I have been running FC8 on this IBM T23 with a D-Link wireless adapter. Using MadWifi this has worked fine with Network Manager disabled. But now I have nuked that installation and replaced it with FC10. Network Manager is nice, and I would like to use it. And it kind-of works. Network Manager recognizes my router and all my neighbor's routers, but I can't connect.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded to OpenSUSE 11.4 GNOME on my ancient Compaq Armada E500 (Pentium II processor w/512MB of RAM) and now I'm trying to install my wireless driver with ndiswrapper. I've done this a couple of times before, but I'm having trouble getting ndiswrapper to find my driver. The driver is located in a folder on my desktop, but when I type the command 'ndiswrapper -i home/edwin/Desktop/WPC54G_40826/LSTINDS.INF' I get a message that there is no such file or directory at ndiswrapper's location, which is usr/sbin/ndiswrapper. So how do I get ndiswrapper either to look in the directory where the file is located or get a copy of LSTINDS.INF into the usr/sbin/ directory, which must be accessed as root?

wireless connection on Ubuntu, I installed Gnome 3 via the Gnome 3 Team ppa and almost everything seems to be working fine just that when i try to connect to a wireless network it tells me the network key is wrong,yet the network key used to work before and i tried on a windows computer and the network key is fine,i even tried installing wicd and still gave me the same problem, although i replaced my hard drive into another computer and then reinstalled gnome 3,is there any packages that could have went missing that is needed for the wireless network?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a weird problem. I have a Apple Bluetooth keyboard, which used to work perfectly under Ubuntu. However, I decided to reinstall last week, and to my surprise the keyboard stopped working altogether. Also the gnome Bluetooth applet is crashing all the time. The weird thing is that I can use the keyboard to login, but after that it stops working altogether.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, it's up to date. Currently using a 2.6.37 kernel which I compiled myself, but the problem also appears when I run the 2.6.35 ubuntu kernel. There are some bug reports on the internet on crashing gnome applets, but as far as I can tell nobody has the weird keyboard problem.
i just got the new pardus 2011 i love it.i was testing the live dvd of it of a usb drive and i tried to get my wireless to work, but i couldn't. i mean,it detected the network, i actully put my password in, and it seemed that it was going to connect , but it stopped while acquiring ip address. the router is fine,also the wireless card,i'm writing this from windows 7,which works wireless, i can also use wireless from ubuntu, GNOME version, and from linuxmint (GNOME)
i saw on the release notes that they changed to the Gnome's NetowrkManager and i thought it was going to work.i kinda like KDE and am going to give you any infos you consider useful. i'll be booting and rebooting through pardus to give you logs.
I've recently installed KDE 4.4.1 just to try on a Dell 1545 laptop with Ubuntu 9.10 previously installed.
My problem is that the wireless connection works just perfectly with nm-applet under Gnome, but when I login on KDE and ask KNetworkManager to connect to the same network as before, it can't finish the connection.
When I choose the connection the program asks for my passphrase, I type it and then it just sticks on "activating network" and nothing happens.
My experience with KDE is zero, so I don't even know where to start looking. I'd even tried to kill KNetworkManager and try to replace it with nm-applet, but I think there's a daemon that restarts it immediately.
Let me preface, assuming your wireless card works with gnome, doing an install from scratch, what packages do you need to get wireless working? So far I've installed gnome-core, menu, menu-xdg and gdm. network-manager and network-manager-gnome are both now installed, I can setup stuff in network connections, but can't see the nm-applet in the notification area, and it never seems to try to connect to my wireless network, do I need any specific other packages (wireless works fine if I install the entire ubuntu 10.04 live CD).
