View 6 RepliesUsing 10.04, everything working fine every day since the install a month or so ago. I shut down the machine normally, when I returned a few hours later it started up without a hitch, but without network. I found a thread suggesting the following (in the case of a failed suspend, which did happent to me a few weeks ago)
Code:
service network-manager stop
rm /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state
service network-manager start
but it didn't help.
My ifconfig looks like this

I set up a Ubuntu Server for my home network to share among Win XP and Ubuntumachines.Initially everything worked fine with all Win XP machines being able to share files on the server; however, after I installed and setup SSH between my Ubuntu machines and my Ubuntu Server I now cannot share and/or even see my Server directory from Win XP or Ubuntu machines through the Samba.I have tried for 2 days to figure out the problem without success.Did I break something while setting up the SSH? How can I fix Samba?Here's some things I have setup or tried so far:1. Samba users are setup and were working previously.2. Samba share drives were setup and working previously.3. I can see the Server using SSH or SFTP from my Ubuntu machines.4. I have gone over the Samba config file numerous times5. I am administering Samba on the server via the terminal and Webmin

However, now I can't browse to the shares using either XBMC or Nautilus (via Places - Network). Furthermore, when using smbclient in terminal I get the following error:
Code: smbclient -L fileserver protocol negotiation failed: ERRnomem.I have tried using the IP number as well (the host is entered in the hosts file.I can ping the machine just fine, using either the IP number or the host name, but the ability to browse its shares is impossible. I can access the shares using another Windows 7 machine, so the shares are there.
Upgraded broadband service yesterday and now using a combined router and modem (Virgin Media Hub). But I now have no wired or wifi internet connectivity on either of my ubuntu 10.10 systems. I tested it on my work laptop which uses Window and it works fine for wired and wifi.
With 10.10 I no longer have a network icon upper right panel to check, so not sure how to set up wireless. Both machines have static IP addresses and are able to ping each other but there is no internet connection on either.
Upgraded to Lucid Beta2 on my 1000HE eee pc. Now unable to connect to wifi. Wifi searches, then decides it needs password. I enter the proper password and it searches again, but never connects. Here's the strange thing: Using latest 2.6.32.21-generic kernel, wifi will not connect. But, when I boot with 2.6.31.20-generic, wifi works fine.
View 1 Replies View RelatedBecause of workers here in my company I need a very secure operating system for laptops so I have chosen Debian 7.8. The laptop is Acer Aspire E11 (E3-112-C4NE). This laptop has a built-in wifi card Aetheros AR9565 :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lspci -nn
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0036] (rev 01)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basically the stable 7.8 distribution cannot handle this wifi card, so I read on forums that I should upgrade my operating system. So I did as I read on the forum:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main contrib non-free
apt-get update
apt-get -t wheezy-backports install firmware-atheros
apt-get -t wheezy-backports install linux-image-amd64
reboot
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After this the oprating system recognized the wifi card and loaded the "ath9k" driver. In the Grub the default operating system became :
Linux 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-686-pae
Because I want to restric the workers to access anything else except the designed inner network, I have uninstalled the Network Manager and set the network interfaces in the "/etc/network/interfaces" file as shown below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
[Code] ....
This works, when the operating system boots, it automatically connects to my hidden SSID wiofi network. I can ping other computers on the same IP subnet (10.139.252.xxx).
This computer should connect to an XP running under virtualbox, having the IP address of 10.40.138.153. But it does not. On another laptop, running Ubuntu 14.05, having the same network configuration, (10.139.252.102) connects to the same XP under virtualbox with no problem....
For Ubuntu nothing is required to be installed on virtualbox, no extension pack, no guest addition, nothing. When I want to connect to XP via rdp, it asks for username and password and after that only a blue or black blank screen and nothing else... Even on the XP I see no sign of any activity that somebody would like to connect.
Checking the network traffic (tcpdump, nast) I see that the two computers are communicating but after a while the communication stops. The rdp XP its in another IP subnet, but Ubuntu can connect without any problem, Debian not...
I have a machine that was running 10.10 and I updated it to 11.04 and now when I reboot I am taken directly into memtest. Any attempt to hit esc during boot is ignored and no matter what I just go into memtest. Here is /etc/default/grub from my boot drive
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:/media/c8e24038-87b7-4a9a-87e0-11de250e3f4b$ cat /etc/default/grub
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update

I am booting now from a 10.10 USB stick and I can access my boot drive so if I need to change stuff I can.
I upgraded to UBUNTU 9.10 and now my sound card is not working. The card is listed in the sound preferences Hardware but not in the input or output sections.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04, and I noticed that the nvidia driver are not working all well as they did before.
Although I get the nvidia logo when X starts, the 3d part does not work well. For example using mplayer -vo gl does not work anymore. When I type glxinfo I get the x error of failed request badwindow message. More anonyingly flash will crash when going to fullscreen.
The 2d part of the drivers seem fine because xvinfo and -vo xv works fine.
I ended up upgrading my wine version to 1.3.20 before it was released to the PPA repos. I downloaded it via git, compiled & installed, but now it did not detect my drivers anymore. It even warned me when i ./configure'd it, but I didn't listen. I tried, also, remove purge all wine packages I own and reinstall them from Ubuntu, but the dud 1.3.20 version is still installed. Is there a way to bring the sound back? Or, is there a way to revert this installation and make me able to install 1.3.19 back?
The following message appears when I access the "Audio" tab @ winecfg:
Code:
Found driver in registry that is not available ! Remove 'alsa' from registry?
I've upgraded to Maverick but now I cannot get my wireless card working. In Lucid it didn't work out of the box, but worked perfectly by wrapping the Windows driver with ndiswrapper.
I noticed when I installed Maverick that wireless is enabled in Network-Manager and it gives me the option to create a wireless network or connect to a hidden network but it's not discovering/showing any of the wireless networks in range! So it seems as though the card is being recognized but the driver isn't working fully...? I tried wrapping the windows drivers, but that didn't change the situation at all.

I upgraded today to 10.04, everything went fine and was working fine. I went to boot back into Vista via grub2. I immediatly get the PXE-E61 Media Test Failure, check cable PXE-M0F Exiting PXE ROM
I first checked my boot order, and lan is very last. Also, through Ubuntu I can view everything on the hard drive so it is not that. I think it may have to do with during the update process, it asked about grub2 update preferences and asked about different drives and such (I am not exactly sure what it was called). I didn't select all of the choices, and I believe this may be the cause, as this was the only thing I had control of that I could have screwed up.
i just upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 from 9.10. videos wont play in firefox anymore. ..... videos require 100% computing power and play at 1 frame every 5 seconds with choppy audio.

I was running 2.6.26 and I've recently upgraded to 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 along with other packages (mostly dependencies)... which possibly involved the network stack.
After this upgrade my home gateway stopped working and I'm clueless to where the problem may be.
I can see that the iptables are still there when I type:
iptables -t filter -L -v -n -x --line-numbers
iptables -t nat -L -v -n -x --line-numbers

everything is true.
i have a HP G60441US with the circular wifi button and i can enable it in windows and ubuntu 10.04 but in 10.10 wifi will not work.
For the past almost year, once in a while my wifi won't work.At home,I use an ethernet cable. When I go out, or am out of town, about 1/3 times the wifi won't connect, and won't even find access points. Once this happens, no matter how many times I restart, the wifi won't work. The ONLY way I can get it to work again is if I reboot with the ethernet cord plugged into the laptop and into a router/switch/hub. My neighbor (the one who got me into Ubuntu) is a pretty experienced linux network admin who looked a my laptop and has no idea what is causing this. I've attached my syslog log entry for the last time this happened. Does anyone know why this is? I LOVE ubuntu but I may need to switch back to Windows because I NEED wifi to work.You will see in the logfile I tried connecting to two different APs. The one that always works is the second one, called linksys.
Syslog:

View 14 Replies View RelatedI just recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a dell laptop. My WiFi connection that I've been using on the same computer for years is not working when I log on. However if I run the burnt image cd and choose the option "Use Ubuntu without making any changes to your computer" I am asked if I want install proprietary drivers. If I activate one "Broadcom STA" I can connect to the wireless connection in my house. When I am using the version installed on my laptop it doesn't ask me if I want to install the drivers and it doesn't even find them when I go to hardware drivers under system. So to sum it up I can get connection when I run Ubuntu from the cd but not when I run the Ubuntu on my laptop.
