| | On my new Kubuntu install i have managed to make my WLAN connection set up by using "kdesu konqeror" and then adjusting in settings. But for some reason the connection won't start at startup. I have to use kdesu to enable and activate both connections. Which is a problem on this computer because it is a family box and my parents cant do that and i dont want them to have the ability to gain root just in case.
Any ideas - this is really annoying. |

Networking should be setup by boot scripts (they run with root privilages) dureing boot-up, not manually with KDE. im not too familiar with Kubuntu, or WLAN, so i cant give exact instructions, but basically, you need to configure your network settings. boot-up scripts are usually in /etc/init.d/ make sure the netowrking service is in your default run-level (5) and the WLAN eth: device is correctly setup. If you cant get your head around the configs, you could also start WLAN with ifconfig in the local boot script. local is a general purpose boot script that runs last thing before the login (graphical or console) is loaded. good luck.

Usually, when you install a "standard" Linux system (and I'm pretty sure ubuntu does the same thing) when the installer boots from the first CD, it asks you how you are connected, usually you answer "from my Ethernet adapter", "give me automatically my IP address through DHCP", and probably your Data Name Servers (usually stated as "DNS"). And then the install program puts everywhere which is necessary at boot time. Putting things after that in /etc or in rc.d are "patching" solutions due to the fact that you forgot something. Are you connected through an Ethernet adapter ?

QUOTE Putting things after that in /etc or in rc.d are "patching" solutions due to the fact that you forgot something. nope, /etc/ is where your system configureation files go. What you describibe is just a frontend GUI which will edit the /etc/ files after you hit save. editing the /etc scripts is not a dirty hack, its the correct way. Thjere's nothing wrong with using wizzards, but i find thy often complicate matters by trying to make complicated settings idiot proof. whatever you are doing with kwifi manager, kwifi manager probably does it by passing on your commands to /sbin/ifconfig, and makes them permenant though the /etc/ configs.

the problem is that those settings arent being saved. i connect using a wireless ethernet card. i didnt configure the network at the install becasue i wasnt sure of how to do the wifi and i was in a hurry. I'll go back and have a look. what configs do i need to edit? i guess i can just 'sudo nano -w' them?

I take it then that you dont understand the init boot scripts ??? Different distro's use differant methods of managing run-levels, so i cant give step by step instructions. But you basically need to add the eth device to your defaut runlevel. Ask someone on a kubuntu forum, this is NOT a kde problem. read the kubuntu guides. If i had a kubuntu system in front of me, i could do it in seconds. but im just un-familiar with its settup, sorry.

Kubuntu and especially Kubuntu/Ubuntu systems do NOT know how to save your settings and over-ride each bootup, that's why my monitor doesn't work because it detects it as a CRT with 1800*something display when my monitor can go up to 1280*1024 xboxrulz

Suse 10.0: Can't Get On Network! Help Please!

On my main computer, I got SuSE 10.0 installed as a dual boot with no problems except the network.
SuSE sees my integrated NIC card (it's on the motherboard) but I can't get online! I went
into terminal, did a SU - and logged in and then did an ifconfig... eth0 is there but no IPv4
address, just an IPv6 and then the loopback address. Could it be that I'm running the 32 bit

you're using a 64 bit processor!!!!"? Just wondering. I could probably download 10.1 6...
