[solved]Autostart wireless

IS there a way for wireless to autostart with xfce4?
Wicd doesn't seem to work,when I click on it nothing happens.
WHen I install KDEmod,my wireless goes down,this only happens when instaliing kdemod.
I tried changing my kdemod servers but that didn't help.

I can't because when I click on wicd nothing happens.
And when I type  wicd-client in the terminal,nothing pops up.
This is what I get

  • (SOLVED)autostart.sh sleep issue

    Hello all,
    I have my laptop in a state I am pretty happy with.
    When I boot I backgrounded all my daemons so I would get a fast boot (about 12 seconds). When conky starts I have it getting my external ip as well as my wireless ip. To try and solve the 2 being blank I tried adding a sleep state in autostart.sh which does not work and leaves me with no mouse. Then I wrote a shell script to accomplish this and added it to autostart.sh and it worked fine with the pause and all, but again no mouse.
    Is there any fix for this?

    autostart.sh
    #Restore wallpaper
    nitrogen --restore &
    #Taskbar
    tint2 &
    #Thunars file manager
    thunar --daemon &
    #Call conky script
    conky -q &
    conky script
    #!/bin/bash
    sleep 30
    conky -q
    exit
    In the autostart when it happens I add "sleep 30" before conky and end up without mouse and it don't sleep. If I link to the script I still get no mouse but it does sleep.

  • [SOLVED]Network/Wireless, after 15mins, locks sudo [..]

    Hello,
    I have been using Ubuntu for a while and wanted to move to Arch Linux. I did. Got everything set up but have one major problem.
    Wireless.
    I have my wireless driver installed through Ndiswrapper and works. Connecting to the router is fine. No problems there. Can go on the internet. But after 15 mins or so (varies) it gets broken and locks programs out.
    The programs I've noticed which get locked out are:
    sudo
    gksu
    conky
    rebooting/shutdown (have to do a hard shutdown)
    When I mean lock. Conky's display just stops. sudo does not do anything. reboot/shutdown just hangs.
    I use iwconfig + dhcpcd to connect to my wireless.
    I don't know If its my wireless as Its never done this in Ubuntu. It kept the connection and sudo, etc, was fine.
    Am I missing a file/package? whats causing this!!
    I have my host name correctly set up. (If that might effect anything.) Locales are fine. keyboard are fine..
    Please. I would love to carry on using Arch! but this.. problem is kinda, well very annoying.
    Thanks,
    Tom
    EDIT!!!
    I have solved it!
    It was due to Ndiswrapper 1.53 messing up and downgrading to Ndiswrapper 1.52 solved this. Now I have a very stable connection.
    Look here to how to downgrade http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=54224

    Thank you @tomk, but from what I've been able to glance at the kernel source tree, I realize that the package maintainers didn't compile brcmsmac module :-(
    I suppose it's happened owing to the fact that all BRCM80211 drivers have been moved from staging branch into net subsystem right now (i.e. since Linux 3.2). So I'd prefer to wait for a new package release to solve the snag with this module rather than compiling it manually for myself. :-)

  • [Solved] Atheros Wireless Fails after Update

    After the update to kernel 3.6.37 the wireless on my Macbook pro is close to useless, but used to work very well before. Madwifi was upgraded as well but I suspect another problem.
    Using WICD there is no wireless at all! With networkmanager the available networks are visible and sometimes logs on. However, the network fails quickly and starts asking for the password - most of the time it is useless typing in the password again. So the wireless is basically working but very unstable with networkmanager and non-existent anymore with WICD.
    Any ideas?
    Last edited by jcci (2011-02-06 05:48:20)

    Found out more which might be significant for madwifi users:
    According to the wiki I loaded the following modules in rc.conf: ath-hal, ath9k, wlan
    Beside this one line in the modprobe.conf should be added: alias ath0 ath_pci. This way wicd as well as networkmanager used ath0 for connecting to wireless.
    After the update I noticed that there is another wifi device in ifconfig listed: wlan0. So I suspected that 2 devices pointing at the same hardware may cause the instability, but de-activating one by ifconfig didn't help. Now I noticed by loading the modules one by one that the new ath9k is already defining wlan0 and the wireless starts working without loading the module wlan. It looks stable so far, but if I should be right I'm impossibly the only one having this trouble.
    Confirmation would be nice, but I will mark this thread "solved" now.

  • [Solved]All wireless networks have stopped working

    Connecting to wireless networks that i have previously connected to times out, both with network manager, and iwconfig.
    I have tried on two networks i have previously connected to and both time out.
    What is interesting is that i am able to connect if i set a static ip, but i cannot reach any addresses, not even 192.168.1.1
    SOLVED:
    Issue was determined to be the ath9k module, fixed it by running:
    modprobe ath9k nohwcrypt=1

  • [SOLVED] Disappearing wireless

    Solved by awayes – thanks a lot!
    iwconfig wlan0 power off
    Hello,
    I'm having problems with my Wi-Fi connection.
    I have a D-Link DI-524 router and four devices connecting to it: a desktop (cable), a laptop, a mobile phone and a kindle (all three Wi-Fi). The problem only occurs with the laptop (which runs Arch).
    Every now and then, the wireless goes down for about a minute. The intervals between breakdowns seem quite random to me, ranging from a couple of times in ten minutes to hours without problems. --- EDIT --- Most commonly, they happen when I try to open many (fifteen or so) websites at once. They are much less frequent under heavy load from a single source, such as copying large files from my desktop over the network, but still more frequent than during casual browsing. --- / EDIT ---

    --- / EDIT ---
    Before wicd, I used netcfg and had the same problem. I only switched to wicd because netcfg requires WIRELESS_INTERFACE to be defined in rc.conf, and I was told it should no longer be there.
    Here's my network part of rc.conf:
    HOSTNAME="kamil-studio-arch64"
    interface=wlan0
    address=
    netmask=
    gateway=
    NETWORK_PERSIST="no"
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng cpufreq dbus @wicd @ntpd @laptop-mode @crond @alsa @sensors)
    and my /etc/hosts:
    127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost kamil-studio-arch64
    Can you help me, please?
    --- EDIT ---
    Adding an explicit entry to wpa_supplicant.conf doesn't help. Maybe it's important that while the network was down, I ran wicd-gtk and it said the password was wrong. I quit it and a moment later it connected just fine.

    Stab in the dark here but is the computer you're having trouble with in a differnt location than the other 2 machines?  If it is, try putting in the same room that the router resides in and see if you have a drop out again.  I know that some routers do not do well if there are too many walls between them and the pc.  If that's the case, you can either buy a repeater or an extra long  antenna from most computer stores.
    I chose the latter option and later I moved the router to the middle floor (it was previously in the basement).  The move did help somewhat but not as much as I'd like.  The longer antenna boosted my signal by about 10% I think (don't hold me to that figure please) .  Either way they are viable solutions that may work for you.  Oh and by the way, my antenna cost $20 or $30 CDN.

  • [SOLVED] Autostart startx after login

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem with autostarting startx after I log in.
    So far the machine boots, terminal login dialog appears, I log in, get my terminal and start X manually via "startx".
    But I want my system to start X automatically after logging in. Without me typing in the command.
    So I did some research (both internet and the Arch forums) and couldn't come up with a working solution to that problem.
    More or less every thread links to the Start X at Login page.
    And I did add the lines in question to my .bash_profile (after I made a skeleton copy of it, as described).
    But still nothing happens after logging in (I waited for about half a minute). So it doesn't work for, or I am doing something wrong.
    Here my .bash_profile:
    # ~/.bash_profile
    [[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc
    [[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec startx
    I have no idea how to proceed.
    Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?

    Nothing happens?  Do you mean you are just at a command prompt, no errors, nothing?  And you are not logged out?  Even with a faulty or empty xinitrc, this would still end your current login session.
    So it seems the conditionals don't pass.  This means either that X is already running, or you do not have an active login session.  Are you booting with an alternative init system?  If you get to a command prompt enter the following commands and report their results:
    pgrep Xorg
    echo $0
    echo $XDG_VTNR
    loginctl
    uname -a

  • [SOLVED] AutoStarting Compiz

    I got Arch running, following the beginners guide on the wiki, got Gnome up, and installed Compiz. I followed the Autostart (no Fusion-icon) instructions, but then realized that because I have an Intel 945 graphics chip that I need a complex command to run Compiz.
    The problem is that the vanilla compiz command (per the wiki) is still active, and every time I login I have no title bars and some other odd behavior. When I run the proper command everything is fine, but I'd like to solve this problem.
    Here's what I've tried:
    I made a script to run the command and put it in the startup applications. I suspect it's working for a second (my mouse theme comes up for just a bit) before the desktop fully loads, but for all I know it's not running properly. The script runs from the terminal fine manually.
    I tried editing the "Exec=compiz" in /usr/share/applications/compiz.desktop specified in the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Com … on.22.29_2) to the proper command, but no change.
    I also tried to undo the gconftool commands (on the wiki) by changing the "compiz"s to "metacity"s. This had no visible effect.
    I would greatly appreciate any help in troubleshooting this, as I'm not sure where the problem is coming from, but  I suspect the bad compiz autostart overriding my startup script. I tried adding a "sleep" to the start of the script, but no dice. My google-fu is coming up empty, and I didn't see any relevant posts on the forum here.
    Last edited by JohnnyRogers (2009-11-07 21:18:25)

    just edit /usr/share/applications/compiz.desktop
    and replace the line
    Exec=compiz
    with
    Exec=compiz ccp
    that did it for me (same chipset)...
    for the record, now with intel graphics, you are forced to use UXA and thus, there are no extra options needed (indirect rendering or else...)

  • T430s - [Solved?] Wireless hardware is not bound to transport driver (Centrino 6205, Win7x64)

    Hello,
    after clean install of my new T430s using System Update everything worked quite well, except for terrible DPC latency when loading web pages (crapping sound). Therefore I changed LAN driver to 11.10.84.0 from Lenovo (83rw15ww) and latencies went down (this driver has been recommended in some online forum).
    Few days later I was on WiFi and latency spiked up again, but this time all the time above 8000µs - even when idle. I started to play with devices in Device Manager and ultimately reinstalled WiFi driver to Lenovo's 15.6.1, then Intel's 15.8.0. The most recommended driver from HP I was unable to install, so no harm there
    Not sure when, but somewhere since this point I don't see wireless networks any more. Driver is fine (no yellow ? or !), wireless card is fine (replaced by spare one from my "HW guy"), all drivers has been reinstalled MANY times. When I try to add WLAN manually, Win7 says "Unexpected Error". Diagnostic tool from Intel says "Wireless hardware is not bound to transport driver". In Fn+F5 I see WiFi as off and I can't turn it on (unlike Bluetooth, which works well). Windows Diagnostics says there's an issue with a driver (sorry if I don't use exact words, my Win7 is not EN). I don't see this card anywhere in "ipconfig". There's no difference in diagnostics whether the wireless switch is on or off.
    I read almost everything I was able to google about similar issues. I tried various drivers from both Lenovo (manual download from Lenovo website as well as using System Update) and Intel, both with and without Access Connections. I tried to remove the device from Device Manager and let Windows to find it again. I reinstalled LAN driver, tried to update BIOS (was already updated), tried to reset various stuff using "netsh" command, deleted Intel/Wireless dir in [username]/AppData, all this with/without reboots in between. Tried to play with card settings (in Device Manager), with power settings (both Windows and Power Manager), with on/off switch on a side of the laptop. I tried System Restore, which ended by error for all meaningful points. Nothing. All this on 3 different WLAN networks (2.4 GHz).
    My last thought is to reinstall Windows from scratch, but it takes me at least 2 whole days to set everything up as I use a boatload of different work stuff for different customers.
    My current WiFi driver, according to Driver tab in Device Manager for Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205, is 15.4.1.1 from January 23, 2013 (thru System Update). The more current one from Intel is 15.7.0.3 from April 18, 2013.
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions, tips or help.
    EDIT
    Just for the heck of it I switched wireless ON at home and suddenly my home WiFi network appeared in Win7 WiFi management (no AC). The last driver I installed was thru System Update, twice. Never restarted immediately, always after a while.
    So I ran System Update again and it offered me available driver for WiFi (again!) and Access Connections. The online utility from Intel also offered me available drivers. I still have WiFi driver 15.4.1.1 (23.1.2013). To be honest I'm little affraid to update one or the other, as I did it so MANY times in past 30 hours with no effect.
    The only difference I noticed is a new wireless device was available - Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter. It may be because of my Checkpoint Endpoint Security VPN software, but last time I saw this adapter was just before I lost all the wireless networks.
    As much as I'm relieved it's working again, as a programmer I'm not happy about it, because I don't know WHY it's working now, when I didn't do anything for it since my last try. I only kept the wireless switch off for a fair amount of time.
    Oh, and DPC latency stays below 300µs (up to 500µs is OK).

    hey smarmytime,
    let me get this right
    laptop+router+modem (via cable) = connection working fine
    laptop+modem (via cable) = connection goes wonky
    laptop+wireless = works halfway then poofs
    The wireless of yours comes from a Router+Wifi or is it coming from a Modem+Wifi set ?
    If it's coming from a Modem+Wifi set, then try the following.
    1- turn off wireless
    2- reset modem to factory setting (make sure wireless is off)
    3- key in the necessary info to make a connection.
    4. switch wifi off on laptop
    5. connect laptop to modem via cable.
    Does it connect ? Does it go poof halfway?
    After that, turn on the wireless for both modem and laptop, try connecting again. Does it connect ? Does it go poof halfway?

  • [SOLVED] BCM43241 wireless card seems to not exist.

    Hey guys, I'm trying to install Arch on a Sony Vaio Duo 13. Unfortunately, it only has a wifi card and no ethernet port. Usually, installing wireless card drivers involves using lspci to detect what card I have, then finding the drivers and firmware for it. But this time the card (BCM43241) does not show up at all in Arch (it works in Windows). There's no trace of it with lspci or lsusb (fyi: it's a builtin card).
    Here's my lspci and lsusb output:

    trusktr wrote:@paperwastage. I'm not sure how to tell if connects through SDIO, but yeah, based on that link you posted seems like it does. But when I do dmesg | grep brcm is shows aboslutely nothing. There's no trace of my card anywhere. It just seems like Arch has no clue that the card exits (let alone that it's a wireless card). Does yours at least show up with lshw or lspci?
    nope, mine doesn't show up via lshw/lspci/lsusb, probably because it's not connected to the pci / usb bus  (probably connected directly to SoC)
    maybe your kernel doesn't have brcmfmac loaded. try this in root
    #unload brcmfmac
    modprobe -r brcmfmac
    #reload brcmfmac
    modprobe brcmfmac
    note down the logs that should print on screen (and in dmesg)
    also, go to windows, use some application to read your system (I've used http://rh-software.com/)
    it showed my Broadcom 802.11abgn Wireless SD Adapter mounted on "SD\VID_.....", which is the SDIO port

  • [SOLVED] No wireless connection with linux-3.2.2-1

    After upgrading to linux-3.2.2-1, my wireless connection stopped working. It "connects", but I can't get an IP address through dhcp. Assigning an IP manually doesn't do the trick, I can't even reach the router through ping.
    Downgrading to 3.2.1-2 fixes the issue.
    I suspect this may be a regression but I couldn't find any information or reports of other people having the same problem anywhere.
    I should note that I can establish a working connection when running the new kernel by using an external USB wireless device, so this probably has to do with the modules/drivers of my network card (?).
    This is the ouput of some commands when running the new kernel (wlan1 is the device mentioned avobe):

  • [SOLVED] BCM4322 Wireless

    I am running a macbook pro 5.5 with the broadcome BCM4322 card. I can't seem to get my card to have any connectivity. I have spent time searching google and wikis with no luck. I have installed the broadcom-wl module via yaourt, blacklisted ssb and b43. I have wl showing when listing the loaded modules. I believe this is the same module I used and had it working with prior to this upgraded installation. If you have any insight or recommended direction for a solution, please help!

    I don't have any hardware keys to turn off wireless with the mac and I haven't installed any such software on the system directly unless it was due to dependencies.. dmesg did report eth0 as belonging to the wireless card. I did not see any other indications of error.

  • [SOLVED] connecting wirelessly to iMac problem

    installed a fresh arch on my laptop and i'm trying to connect wirelessly to iMac internent sharing
    so i can continue the installation however, when i
    dhcpcd eth1
    it says:
    dhcpcd: eth1 waiting for carrier
    dhcpcd: timed out
    and i'm unable to connect
    i've looked around but could not find any answer to this problem
    i came to conclude, the problem might be because the iMac bridge the connection however not sure
    how to fix this or what shall i do next now
    i tried to use static IP but didn't know how to set it up or from where to get the data i need
    thank you

    Are you sure the interface is good?
    Show your:
    ifconfig -a
    , please.
    If right your interface, try install netcfg, or dhclient, and try again.
    Btw, you can see this threads: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=59340
    Good luck!

  • [Solved] No wireless connection after reboot.

    I installed through a wireless connection. I installed inside of VirtualBox, and I installed wireless_tools, wpa_supplicant, and wpa_actiond dialog. So I had wireless internet on the live cd, but not after the install. Is there some driver that I am missing? Is there some VirtualBox special feature I am missing?
    lspci | grep -i net   =   intel corporation 82540em gigabit ethernet controller
    I don't think I need to install any additional firmware for this driver.
    iwconfig = enp0s3 no wireless extensions
                    lo no wireless extensions
    I tried adding manually loading iwl3945 and iwl4965, one of which I think is my driver.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
    The fix was typing "systemctl enable dhcpcd".

  • [SOLVED] unstable wireless connection

    Hi,
    Wireless connection has some troubles. I don't get connection drops or anything in everyting.log mentioning errors with wlan. I tried wicd, Networkmanager and netcfg - but alas - no better results in any of them. The problem is that when checking mail, upgrading packages, ... sometimes connection cannot be made. Most of the time, running the same program immediately a second time, won't give this error. Less error-tolerant programs just crash/quit with an error-message.
    Errors are like (in Dutch, I tried an English translation after ***):
    Herleiden van v3.lscache4.c.bigcache.googleapis.com... mislukt: Naam of dienst is niet bekend. *** Failed to resolve from ... Name or service unknown.
    wget: kan host-adres '‘v3.lscache4.c.bigcache.googleapis.com’' niet herleiden *** Cannot resolve host-addres
    I've on the same laptop Sabayon and Ubuntu running where those problems do not occur.

    The thing is, I cannot run it when it happens, because it is not a disconnection. It is more like small hickups. Fault-tolerant applications won't give an error. But using wget/curl might fail 1, 2 or three consecutive times, but can succeed flawlessly a 4th time. :-/
