View 1 RepliesI turned down my txpower with the command: sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower 3 Which works to fine turn down my broadcast power from the default value of 15 dBm to 3 dBm. But it is reset every time I restart Ubuntu 11.04 to the default value of 15 dBm. How do I save my modified txpower settings so they don't reset after a restart? It is really annoying having to re-enter the command every time I reboot my computer!

I have an Intel 945GM chipset and I have set my external Acer 23" monitor as the default and only monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080@60Hz using KDE's System Settings...And I chose to disable the laptop's internal monitor...but whenever I restart, the display returns to a 1024x800 cloned resolution (the default one)...which by the way looks hideous on a 23" monitor. And also the sound mixer goes back to the default levels.
So, can anyone help me out? I've been using Ubuntu for over 3 years and I've never had any problems like this one. I have just fell in love with Kubuntu, it looks and runs great, but this problem/bug is keeping me from being comfortable with it... I've been reading some things about XRandr and some commands and stuff and nothing have worked until now. I wonder, is it a common bug in Kubuntu or maybe an erroneous setting in the session manager....?
I have a problem with klipper hotkeys. On reboot, they are saved in ~/.kde/share/config/kglobalshortcutrc but don't work anymore. they are visible in "system settings > keyboard and mouse > global shortcuts" in the klipper tab, but just wont work. However, they are not set if I try to access them by klipper menu "right click > configure klipper > shortcuts" It seems that shortcuts aren't even noticed by kde : xev's output from a successful shortcut ( alt+g) (notice the focusout/focusin instead of the keypress):

I running Ubuntu ver 9.04 I have 2 problems that I think are related. After finally making a network connection I updated Ubuntu, and after a reboot I lost my network connection again.I updated the following file nm-networkmanager-settings.conf and saved it. After another reboot I then lost my network connection icon and it also does not appear under System > Preferences. I tried to then update the same file and can not save it, I get "could not save file".I have tried sudoedit, sudo gedit, gksudo gedit and some others that I cna not remember now and all give me the same result

View 11 Replies View RelatedI have lost wifi access with the upgrade to 11.4.Previously, the receiver icon showed on left click a menu of available networks, and on right click, available network by network settings for editing. The menu also included enable wireless connection and enable wired connection. I have wireless enabled.
But with the upgrade, the same menu appears on left click or right click, and they both show a greyed out "wireless disconnected" tab, so you can't connect from there, the tab is disabled. There's also no place else to go to find available networks or to lock into one. There also does not seem to be a place to find wired networks either.I installed my wifi network in it, and put in the correct password and set it to come on automatically, and 3x restarts did not yield any changes. Apparently network finding is disabled in this version or at least my copy.It isn't the computer: I'm on line with it now on the Windows XP side.
This is doubly problematic because if I can't get on line, I can't download a fix, and even if I could by downloading it to the Windows side, it is probably a binary with some very scripts and meticulous BASH coding or tarballing something else that I have no idea how to do even with a walk through by an expert because most of the time the experts assume I know as much about using a Linux terminal and code as they do, and I basically know absolutely nothing, it is all Greek to me from the point at which they say "open a terminal." "Go to root" might as well be said in Chinese as far as its usefulness to me. What is the plan here? A complete redo from the get go?
I have installed Lucid in a new laptop. Things are running OK except for the following problem:
I connect to the network/Internet using Wired ethernet (TCP/IP) with static IP. Everytime I reboot/restart my network configurations are lost and I have to re-configure. I have googled this problem and have seen a few posts/bugs in launchpad etc. for what appears to be the same issue...but unfortunately I am not getting a clear solution to this problem.
Just for clarity, I am using the following commands to re-configure my network everytime:
Also note that I have already tried editing the /etc/network/interfaces and the /etc/resolv.conf files. But it seems that these are not being picked or are being overridden.
I have a bit of a silly question, as I should know better, but I have a Toshiba A200 laptop that wasn't working well with the default ath5k driver so I switched to madwifi. It works great, but after the laptop goes into suspend or reboots, the driver doesn't get loaded and wireless isn't available.
I've been working around this by going to proprietary drivers, which shows the madwifi driver. When I say activate, it comes back with a failed message but works.
I'd like to save myself from going through this several times a day, but I'm not 100% sure what to do. Do I add madwifi to modprobe or something like that?
It appears that /etc/resolv.conf back to default everytime I reboot my computer.I've added these 2 lines to resolve some DNS issue.Quote:
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4[URL]Your advise to make /etc/resolv.conf untouchable even after reboot would be highly appreciated.
I run OpenSuse 11.4 with KDE 4.7. When I change the positions of icons in the main plasma panel, or reshape folder view plasmoids on my desktop, these changes are lost when I start my computer the next time...
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm running PCLinuxOS 2010.07 (KDE) on my Acer laptop with Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller. I have an external Acer monitor that displays at 1920*1080. I have selected my laptops internal screen to be disabled and use the external screen. The PC LinuxOS Control Centre selected the 'Intel later than 810 driver'. All works well whilst I'm using my system but when I turn off and reboot the settings are lost and I have a 1280*800 display on my laptop and the same on my external screen. Resetting the Display using Configure your Desktop allows me to reset the external monitors to my preferences but how can I make theses settings permanent?
View 4 Replies View RelatedGoogle brought me no love on this one, tried searching here with little luck as well. So I'm hoping somebody vastly more experienced than I can shed some light on my plight.
The situation:
I have a CentOS 5.3 x64 server running the latest cPanel which works fantastic. I issued a graceful reboot and the server came back up (according to the DC) just fine to a login prompt. Apparently the system lost all of its IP address configuration. Primary IP, secondary IP's gateway, you name it and it was gone. Now my secondary IP's were showing in cPanel after I had the DC re-enter my main IP address/gateway. But listed as not active due to the fact that they were not anywhere to be attached to the interface. i.e. eth0:1 eth0:2 etc and so on.
I have no idea where to begin looking for this problem and am afraid to reboot it again (at least until I get my lantronix spider up there). I've never experienced this with any of my other CentOS/cPanel servers either. All similar configurations CentOS 5.3 x64, latest cPanel as well. My hardware is all Supermicro gear as well and has been solid in the past.
Maybe I'm just missing something, granted I've only been managing Linux based servers for about two years now. This is actually the first real problem I've ran into on any Linux distro, they are normally pretty solid. So I assume it's a configuration error on my part somewhere.
I was running a patch of my wifi connection and now i have NO wifi at all. I am totally lost right now. i have been running throught all the threads but nothing is really working. Is there a way do a full system restore (like windows) that will undo all my mistakes? my wifi has always worked until i screwed something up!

I've installed Fedora 12 KDE using VMWare, but I can't for the life of me get my display settings to stick. When I change the resolution, my display responds appropriately but upon logging out or rebooting, these settings are lost. Am I missing something completely obvious here?

View 3 Replies View RelatedReading recent posts, it seems that 11.04 has seriously screwed wifi.
I have an Advent QRC430 laptop which worked perfectly until I upgraded to Natty. Now wifi is broken. The wifi driver is rt73usb.
When I run lspci in terminal, no wifi card is listed. Running rfkill shows wifi hard blocked, but the switch on laptop makes no difference.
I've installed and run Hardware Lister - this shows wireless interface "has been disabled"
After being prompted by UpdateManager, I upgraded my Compaq Presario CQ71 from 10.10 to 11.04 yesterday. Most things seem fine, except that my wifi is disabled (it was working fine in 10.10).

We have 2 computers connecting the wireless network. I reinstalled the linux machine and lose the saved wifi password. I don't have the router access password. I am looking at other computer running Mac and see wifi password as xxxxxxxx. Is there a way to see what wifi password is (from the Mac computer)? The "show password" button is disabled.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get an external monitor hooked up to my laptop with the intention to use both simultaneously using TwinView. Actually, I'm not "trying to make it work": everything works fine, using NVIDIA X Server Settings. However, when I reboot these settings are lost and I have to manually expand my desktop again.
I've found that running NVIDIA X Server Settings as root should allow one to "Save to X Configuration File", in order to let it automatically load the right settings. When I click this option, however, I'm asked to manually provide a file name with my home folder as the default location. I'm confused how to proceed - where should I save this configuration? Or should I be taking a completely different approach in the first place? (note: KDE 'Display and Monitor' doesn't work. Only when I use the NVIDIA-thingy KDE will recognize that my desktop is expanded to a 3600x1080 resolution)
