Hello,
I am trying out a GNU-plus-Linux distribution called "Tails" for the first time. Tails is the distro that provides anonymity for the user by forcing all network traffic to go through the Tor network system. I am testing out Tails version 1.4.
Tails is a live DVD disc. It boots in live mode directly from the DVD and optical drive.
However, once I was booted into the desktop for the first time, it seems to not have been able to automatically find and configure my internet connection.
When I hover the pointer over the twin PC's icon in the system tray at the top right hand corner it says "No network connection".
Then, just to make sure, I opened the "Tor browser" and it gave me an error message that says "The proxy server is refusing connections".
Then to make triple sure, I opened the "Unsafe web browser" and it gave me the error message that says "Error No DNS server was obtained through DHCP or manualy configured in Network Manager".
So as a new user of this distro, I'm not sure on where to go and what to do. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Hi Folks,
Installed Mint-mate 17.
It gives message:You are now disconnected" after logging in.
I restart, the network connection comes.
It is not "networking restart", but system restart.
Tried five more times. The behaviour is every time the same.
After booting the system, no network connection. But from there I restart the system, then network connection is on.
Very irritating to always boot it second time to get the network connection up.
The computer is a desktop Dell Optiplex 9010.
On the same computer, Windows 7 runs without any problem.
Any idea how to fix it?
Thanks
I am attempting to install debian to a desktop and It is not configuring my wireless adapter. I am including the error messages as follows:
"missing firm ware file htc-9271.fw"
"Network is probably not using dhcp protocol, network may be slow or hardare not working properly"
I attempted to go to /etc/network/interfaces as root however it says I do not have permission. I then tried adding a new user then going to visudo to add permissions but am unable to insert anything using the (i) command. So at this point I am at a loss.
Any help is greatly appreciated and thank you for your time.
Hi everyone, I am a new member and also new to linux, I encountered a problem, but last week I tried but did not solve
I downloaded iso file linux 1.1.0 on page potassium https://www.kali.org, I installed on my Dell inspiron n4010, it works very well and does not have any errors, but after I update and upgrade all packages, I rebooted the system switches to the command line, I lost a lot of time to return to the graphics, but when booting up the network manager icon not seen, I have set the package network-manager-gnome_0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2_i386.deb network manager icon show but when click on the network manager icon only contained text "network manager is not running."
I also installed Wicd but could not run "could not connect to wicd's D-Bus interface. Check the wicd log for error messages."
wireless driver apparently was set before
root@kali:~# airmon-ng
PHY Interface Driver Chipset
phy0 wlan0 wl Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)
please help me!
please guide installed offline, my kali linux no internet connection. can download package from another machine to install.
I'm using Linux Mint 16 "petra" and normally I can see in the task bar whether or not there are software updates available or not. For the past week or so, I have not been able to get any connection to the mintUpdate site and the icon in the task bar shows a red X on the shield.
When I right-click on the icon and select "Information" I get the message below.
<<
++ Launching mintUpdate in user mode
++ Testing initial connection
-- No connection found (tried to ping google.com) - sleeping for 30 seconds
++ Starting refresh
++ Auto-refresh timer is going to sleep for 15 minutes, 0 hours and 0 days
-- Error in checkAPT.py, could not refresh the list of packages
>>
Can anybody out there inform me what may be wrong with either my system or with the mintUpdate site? I'm able to connect to the Internet without any problem.
Thanks in advance for your reaction!

Hi. I've installed Arch Linux on a Wandboard running Logitech Media Server (LMS). LMS needs to read my music files off of a NAS network share. I can't figure out how to mount that network share.
I was told by someone who has a similar NAS to make the following entry in etc/fstab:
//192.168.10.15/media/Music /mnt/netdrive cifs noauto,x-systemd.automount,user=nobody,password="",iocharse t=utf8,noperm,nounix,nobrl 0 0
But when I start LMS and point it to /mnt/netdrive, my media/Music folder isn't shown. Is there a problem with the way I'm trying to mount the network share?
I've tried using "root" and "admin" as username and the admin password of the NAS as password, but still no luck. I've tried mounting the share manually, but I get a "permission denied" error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I am looking for a live linux distro that is able to recognize more hardware by "default" without installation. For example, when I borrow a laptop/netbook, I want to be able to boot the live linux distro and be able to have wireless access to internet (at least most of the time).
I know how to get the wireless working if I have internet access to begin with, but sometimes I do not have a wired connection or am not allowed to install stuff.
I would like to try many live distros on different laptops, but it would be hard to convince other people to give me their laptops to do that; so I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks
Hey all,
I just did a Debian minimal install and am using the package network-manager-gnome to manage wifi. I should also mention I'm running OpenBox. Anyway, network-manager shows up just fine in my systemtray and it lets me connect and displays that I am connected in the system tray. However, when I try to connect to a website it will just say "connecting" for a very long time before timing out. Note that my ethernet works perfectly.
If it helps, this is what shows up in iwconfig after I've "connected" to a network through network-manager:
Code:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"The Stack Resident Wifi"
Mode:Managed Frequency:5.24 GHz Access Point: 54:3D:37:02:A5:CC
Bit Rate=13 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=33/70 Signal level=-77 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:154 Missed beacon:0
I've searched in many places and I couldn't find someone who had a similar problem. Any help would be awesome. Thanks!
Hi,
I have Kali linux and updated it a few days ago and now when I search for networks after going into monitor mode it tells me "no wireless networks found". before the update, monitor mode used to be "mon0" After the update, after entering monitor mode it says "wlan0mon" not sure if this helps. I use Wicd network manager but the origional network manager also cant see any wireless networks, it says "device not managed".
Thanks
Hi all,
i am new to linux, i am using Centos 6. There is some problem in the network settings as i am able to browse internet from a browser but when i am trying to use the terminal (using ping command) for any of the website (say www.google.com) nothing is happening. suppose i want to install some software (like hdf5), when i am using "sudo yum install hdf5" it shows large number of error massages like "error could not connect to the host". It would be a great help if someone provide the solution.
Thanks in advance.
