Ubuntu :: Automatically Activate The Wifi At System Startup?
Feb 19, 2011
Is there any way to automatically activate the wifi at system startup without using the keyboard switch? I have tried this script in gedit, saved as .run and added to startup applications but it doesn't work:
I have installed Oracle 11g on 5.3. Now, I am trying to START and STOP oracle automatically on system startup and shutdown. I am following this link To have this effect, I have created /etc/init.d/dbora
/dev/md0 (made from sda1 and sdb1) RAID1 /boot partition /dev/md1 (made from sda2, sdb2, and sdc2) RAID5 / partition
Earlier on I had some trouble with my sda drive, it dropped itself from both arrays, screwing up the mirroring of my two raid partitions participating in the /boot partition. I eventually got everything sorted out and back in sync. (I also have grub installed to MBR on both sda and sdb). Things are working fine regarding that, but since then I've had this issue:
During boot up, I'll get an error message that it could not mount my /boot partition (when fstab is set to either /dev/md0 or the UUID). It claims c9ab814c-47ea-492d-a3be-1eaa88d53477 does not exist!
My fstab:
Code:
[mark@mark-box ~]$ cat /etc/fstab # # /etc/fstab # Created by anaconda on Wed Jan 20 16:34:41 2010
[code]....
As far as I know, it isn't neccessary for /boot to be mounted always, correct? Although, as I understand, I need to have it mounted whenever making kernel changes correct?
I have 2 PC : Big and Small. On both, there is Ubuntu Lucid. On Big, there is a WLAN PCI card from D-Link, and on Small an USB-Stick USB from TP-Link.
* On Big, the WLAN connection is performed during the boot, and is active even without opening a session (i.e. if one still on the login screnn of GDM)
* On Small, the WLAN connection is activated only AFTER opening a session.
How can i do on Small to have the same behaviour as on Big ?
My WiFi switch (button) is not working on Ubuntu but on windows 7 works ok. My WiFi card Boardcom 802.11 driver working good on linux, but I cannot activate wireless switch button. Without it my WiFi not working. My notebook is HP 6735s.
I'm a ruby on rails programmer, and I installed a snippet that supports .rhtml or .html.erb code (the rails code) in GEDIT HOwever, everytime I make a new .html.erb file, the snippet doesnt automatically activate the document. I have to manuelly go up to View=> Highlight Mode => Scripts => RHTML How can I set it so that all the files that have an .html.erb or .rhtml extension automatically use that snippet?
I've got my Lenovo T60 laptop wireless running without too much trouble, the only problem is when i close my laptop lid and open it again the wirelessconnection is down and i simply cant click on the network icon in the notification area to re-connect as wlan0 is inactive. If i go to System>admin>network i cant activate the interface either as the 'active' button is greyed out, the only way to get the thing to come alive again (other than a full reboot) is to toggle the wireless switch on my laptop off and then back on.Not sure this should be required, i've got the interface configured to start automatically but it doesnt seem to care.
I have a problem with my wifi adhoc network which I previously had under Windows. I go to network connections, edit connection ,wireless,add then change to adhoc then I cannot press the add button as it is not highlighted, I don't want any security so have not enterd any WEP or WPA information, also How do I do a scan for wireless networks/devices in my area? I have a number of devices plus the chap next door who connects to my wired internet connection using my wifi adhoc network that are unable to do so at present.
I have just moved to fedora from ubuntu.i am trying to install wifi netword driver on my laptop but its not helping me.I have Dell inspiron 1545 with Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b netword card.i'm unable to find firmware package for my network card. what should i do to use wifi netword on my laptop? where to find and install the driver to activate wifi on my laptop?
After restart or suspend/resume the Wifi won't start until I click on my home network from the menu. It used to start without me doing anything (once I setup the wireless).
I am a complete newbie to Ubuntu. Just installed it today and everything I have done so far has been found and worked out using forums such as this. So far I have installed ndiswrapper, the latest version, and got my wifi card working. In fact I am online now writing this!
Problem is when I shutdown and reboot. My wireless connection won't automatically run. It won't even show in the top left that I have a wifi connection. There is no "enable wireless" tickbox. I have to type in the terminal:
sudo depmod - a sudo modprobe ndiswrapper then my WEP key then it works.
BTW I have no idea what those commands do I just found them on a forum. I can't seriously have to do this everything I boot up?!! Can this be automated or is there a better fix?
Initially I have installed microsoft windows 7 Ultimate and Ubuntu 10 in my notebook. microsoft windows and ubuntu are located in different partitions on my hard drive. then I reinstall microsoft windows by formatting the partition and not format the ubuntu partition. question: How to reactivate ubuntu without having to reinstall the operating system ubuntu 10?
How can I turn off specific authentications? I don't want to have to authenticate every time I mount a different drive (in a different partition). (Because I can't open Mozilla, since it pulls a profile from that partition, without authenticating; and I want to have Mozilla automatically launch on startup, but it can't launch if I need to type my password to gain access to the drive first!).
I use this command to mount sshfs:sshfs -o idmap=user user@ip:/home/user/public_html ~/FolderThen I enter my password. I do this every time I start my computer
Since a few weeks my PC have been working slow and the gnome system Monitor says that my cpu is working at 100% all the time. when I ran top command appears:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 770 root 20 0 4060 308 240 R 76 0.0 8:41.05 yes 919 root 20 0 4060 312 240 R 49 0.0 8:23.39 yes
I am running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit on my Dell studio 1557 with a broadcom 1394 wireless card.
I am wondering if it is possible to set my laptop to autojoin open wireless networks. I like traveling and it popped into my head. I am a novice linux user, long time windows user. I know its possible just how. like a terminal script or just a check mark somewhere. i broke my right hand and arm in a motorcycle wreck recently.
Well I have a nearby WiFi network that my PC keeps trying to connect to automatically. I don't know why since mine is closer. I tried changing the channel and have deleted the offending network under "Edit Connections" but of course it keeps comming back. The problem is most annoying on boot up when it starts trying to connect automatically as soon as the desktop is loaded. Is there anything Ican do to "hide" this network from my PC's vission?
i am succesfully installed TeamSpeak 3 server and now i want to startup it automatically without screen daemon and on every startup on linux ubuntu 9.10 i am using this command for start the TS3 server:./ts3server_linux_amd64 dbplugin=ts3db_mysqlin home/user/Desktop/ts3server_linux_amd64
I've been searching for a solution get mount my NTFS FakeRAID automatically when 9.10 64-bit starts, but haven't managed to find a solution.Currently, after boot, dmraid activates my RAID automatically but does not map the partitions on the drive:
Code: $ ls /dev/mapper/ control isw_bibdafajea_Vault
Recently I have had a run of random errors on boot up. Finally, the quit button, top right of the screen disappeared permanently. I am convinced it is because I added Evolution to the programs that start automatically when I login to Ubuntu (auto login). Evolution uses the Internet connection which hasn't been successfully established by the time it starts. In the past, this would crash Ubuntu. It seemed to be fixed by this stage, but maybe not. Is there some way of delaying the startup of a program in the automatic startup list - to give the rest of everything time to settle in - before it starts trying to use other startup resources?
I had to re-install Windows XP because the install was running slow.So, I created another partition using GParted for my personal data and moved my files there and re-installed Windows XP.Now, the Windows partition won't mount automatically.NTFS Configuration Tool shows 0.0GB. So, I have to open up a Terminal window, and issue sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/Windows and everything is fine.
I am using Vetor Linux and I want to login automatically every system starpup instead ask for user and password. Vector linux is based in slackware and uses shell to ask user and password.
I'm running Ubuntu on a USB startup disk I created on a USB stick for recovery purposes. I cannot use wifi on my netbook if I boot from he USB. Why is this? Is there any way I can make it work again? (wifi is fine when I boot normally)
i have a RAMdisk set up on my desktop with a hidden folder of stuff in it; but i want to know is it possible for me to set ubuntu to copy the files to another directory on shutdown, and copy back again on startup?
