[SOLVED] Network won't work

Hi,
My network card isn't recognised when I boot into the Arch boot cd. I ended up installing fedora on my machine but I would like to have Arch on their as well, is there a way for me to check what network modules I need to load from Fedora?
Thanks,
Jonathan.

Thanks for the replies, I got it sorted based on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=110026.
Basically all I did was :
modprobe -r tg3
modprobe -r broadcom
modprobe broadcom
modprobe tg3
Apparently the order matters.
Then once I installed I put this into the my rc.conf:
MODULES=(broadcom tg3)
And now I have a new Arch work desktop which runs brilliantly.
Thanks for the help, hope this helps someone.

[SOLVED] Network won't work after install

Hi
I've installed arch on a lot of different computers without any trouble. But now I'm trying to install it on a intel mini-ITX board with an atom processor and integrated network. When setting up the network during the install it downloads and installs the packages perfectly fine, but when the installation is finished and I reboot into my new system the network wont work.
If I try to ping my gateway at 192.168.1.1 it just says that the network is unreachable.
The ifconfig shows the following for eth0:
Link encap:Ethernet HWAddr 00:27:0E:05:AC:47
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 overruns:0 frame:0
collisions:0 TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:28 Base address:0xe000
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks

Sorry I've been away for a couple of days, but it's solved now it was something in the hosts file which weren't correct.
Thanks for the reply though!

Update 32bit - 64 bit and network won't work anymore

Hi
I update (means clean install) Vista Business 32 bit to 64 bit and after that the network connection
won't work anymore. Problem is that vista won't get the IP-address from DHCP (tried in small office network with some cheap Zyxel and big corporate network with expensive stuff) and said that the connection is limited and network is unidentified. I try to
solve this problem with google and already try some regedit things, update Vista with SP2, update network controller driver and
try to limit speed & duplex to 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps but non of those works. Checked
also with linux and the computer gets the IP which mean that the network adapter works and there have to be some problems with this Vista Business 64 bit.
Does someone have any clues what is the problem and how to fix it?

Hi Thalian,
If you specify a static IP address, can you connect to Internet?
Meanwhile, what’s result of network troubleshooter?

[Solved] Network doesn't work after hibernate?

Hello! This is my first legit Linux install so excuse me if I'm a bit slow. I installed Arch last night and everything went smoothly. However, after I tested out hibernate on my machine, the network doesn't seem to work. Just prior to the hibernate, I installed Pidgin and Skype but they worked alright, so I think that the hibernate caused a problem on eth0.
I have an Asus P8Z68-V Pro motherboard with an Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet Controller that's using the e1000e driver. Running "dmesg | grep e1000e" says that it is up.
I'm not entirely clear here, but from reading, I think that I have several ways of connecting to the network, including network, dhcpcd, networkmanager, and wicd. I am using wicd so I did the following (or at least I think I am only using wicd):
#rc.d stop network
#rc.d stop dhcpcd
#rc.d stop networkmanager
Similarly, I put a ! in front of network in rc.conf:
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
# LOCALIZATION
# LOCALE: available languages can be listed with the 'locale -a' command
# DAEMON_LOCALE: If set to 'yes', use $LOCALE as the locale during daemon

Restarting eth0 through wicd-cli still did not work. I also tried resuscitating the network via instructions on the configure network page before trying to focus solely on wicd.
I found a few similar problems on the forums by searching "wicd hibernate" and tried several solutions but they did not work. Several problems seem to be that the network doesn't work after a suspend because I guess the stuff in RAM did not get saved? But people were able to restart the network by running "/usr/lib/wicd/autoconnect.py" and I wasn't able to get this to work. As a final effort, I added "resume" into mkinitcpio.conf and placed the machine into sleep again to see if it may magically reset something but of course this did not happen .
mkinitcpio.conf:
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run first, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries used in a given hook.
# (Existing files are NOT overwritten if already added)
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
# Some users may wish to include modprobe.conf for custom module options
# like so:
# FILES="/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf"
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
## This is identical to the above, except the old ide subsystem is
## used for IDE devices instead of the new pata subsystem.
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems"
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev pata scsi sata usb filesystems"
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.

## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev usb lvm2 filesystems"
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata resume filesystems usbinput"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. With kernels earlier than
# 2.6.30, only gzip is supported, which is also the default. Newer kernels
# support gzip, bzip2 and lzma. Kernels 2.6.38 and later support xz
# compression.

Not sure if my fstab.conf is useful but if this has something to do with settings getting "lost" in swap, here it is. Linux is on an SSD and HDD (sda and sdc) and Windows 7 is on a HDD (sdb).
fstab.conf:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information

Is wicd causing these problems or did I configure something else improperly? Would appreciate any help to get eth0 up again!

Ok, I think I've made some progress! Hibernate definitely affects my network connection. Could this be a kernel 3.0 problem?
I noticed that ifconfig showed eth0 without an inet addr, just an inet6 addr for the longest time. e1000e seemed to be loading up ok. I'm not certain here, but I think that meant the dhcp settings didn't stick, or something along those lines.
Trying to use dhcpcd like the instructions here did not work. By some chance, one attempt did work and while it did, I downloaded and installed dhclient. After that one successful attempt, renewing the DHCP lease via dhcpcd did not work again.
Luckily though, I found that running "dhclient eth0" worked. My DHCP settings seemed to have somehow gotten messed up after my initial, problematic hibernate to the point where none would stick, even after a reboot. Manually typing in "dhclient eth0" would get eth0 working, so I decided to add it to the bottom of /etc/rc.local, like in the example on the networking page.
Now, eth0 works after a boot. However, after the daemons load up during the boot process, my computer takes a long time to get to the login prompt (this is relatively speaking, since I am on a SSD and the boot process used to be blazing fast before). I'm pretty sure it's because I added "dhclient eth0" to /etc/rc.local.
I should say that even with these changes, after a hibernate, my eth0 still does not work and if it weren't for the edit to /etc/rc.local, eth0's inet settings would still not stick after a reboot (that is to say, the hibernate does do something to my network settings).
Is this the correct/most efficient way to fix my DHCP problem? Can I fix my "eth0 after hibernate" issue? Also, can I make my DHCP settings boot up without changes to /etc/rc.local so that I can get a fast boot again (still not sure how it was able to work before without my edit)?

Okay, so after I installed, I decided to and uncomment all available US repositories with HTTP on them, not FTP. Then I did a full system update, and got the latest nvidia drivers. So I run nvidia-xconfig, got a little confused when it didn't work and I noticed /etc/X11/xorg.conf was missing. After a while I realized I forgot to download Xorg, once I ran the command it worked. I downloaded HAL, started it and it worked. Then I ran startx, and it wouldn't work. I went into the IRC channel, and tried showed all the errors I got, after a while I was told I shouldn't be using root under any circumstances and the first thing I should have done is create my user ID, which I did, then made myself a Sudoer. Obviously, the errors still appeared, no matter what I did with Xorg. -.-

Yep carol.
Nope I didn't install freetype.
Also, I noticed whenever I try to install nvidia I get an error that says these files already exist, and that there is a: Errors occured. No packages were upgraded. In a list of a bunch of files I can't even really list out at the moment.
Pacman -S nvidia gets me that error, when I tried reinstalling xorg, it worked fine. Even when I deleted the cache, and uninstalled files it had the same issue.
I was told to install the latest version available though (again). since I installed some version I got back in 2008 in December. But I've been too hesitant since I felt I might need one of those extra CDs later. So I figured out how to do it through USB, not sure if I should just yet though.
And sorry, didn't notice that long error the last time I thought it meant it was already installed.
But I did do a full system update at least though.

[SOLVED]NetworkManager won't work since updating to KDE 4.3.4

Hello there,
I'm running Arch64 on Qosmio X300 notebook. I have just updated to KDE 4.3.4 and since the update the NetworkManager won't connect to my wifi (I haven't tried wired yet). I use following packages for NetworkManager and KNetworkManager applet
kdeplasma-applets-networkmanager 1047027-1
networkmanager 0.7.2-1
There seems to be nothing strange in the daemons.log, but the KNMgr tray icon keeps saying "Networking information not available" and when I click it I get "Network Management Disabled" instead of the usual menu. I still can configure network manually and wicd is also working fine.
I remember putting my notebook to suspend-to-disk by mistake instead of shutting it down right after the update, so that's when it might have gone crazy. I tried reinstalling NetworkManager and the KDE applet and googling around a bit, but nothing has helped so far...

Remote desktop into network won't work

First time VPN newbie. I need to set up vpn for a friends small business using RV082 so, as a test, I set it up here at my home using a very basic config. The network topology looks like:
cloud => cable modem => RV082 => DIR655 => win7 PC
At a remote site, I fire up QUICKVPN, enter necessary data and successfully connect. Bring up Remote Desktop and put in the IP of my home pc and the logon username and, after a minute or two, it says "unable to connect to the computer" (or words to that effect). My home PC has been configured to allow remote desktop connections and this has occured in the past but not since the RV082 installation. There is nothing in the PC's logs nor in the RV082's logs. What should be my line of investigation?

Hi Zym0tiC.
I had a similar experience with my daughter's Arch Linux laptop using a PCMCIA wireless card to connect to the network after an upgrade this last Friday (I believe this was to kernel16-2.6.10-3).
To make things work properly (although I haven't gotten to this fully resolved) I did the following: (a) invoked hotplug in rc.conf; and (b) made sure that all possible ethernet ports (in my case, eth0, eth1, and eth2) were specified in rc.conf (I used DHCP). The PCMCIA card is then recognized and connected using /etc/rc.d/network properly at boot (or by hand after boot).
I'm going to look into this further to see if I can't understand this better.
Regards,
Win

[SOLVED]Xorg won't work for my non root user

I installed Arch Linux 2009.08 x86_64 Core inside Sun VirtualBox 3.0.8 and got up to the part of the Beginners' Guide that tells me to test X and it can never work for my non root user. Funny thing is, I tried running it as root and it worked even though my root user has no ~/.xinitrc file. Running startx or xinitrc as my non root user I get a small (maybe 400x600) white terminal but can't use my mouse or keyboard.
After looking over the guide and doing a step I forgot and adding in all of the extra stuff the guide says might help I can use my mouse and keyboard in my non root users' small white terminal but X still won't start properly with xterm even though I put 'exec exterm' in my non root users' ~/.xinitrc file. Please help. Thanks for any help guys.

I don't get it .. this sounds like xterm is starting up successfully (xterm is a small white terminal). Easiest way to get X up and running (imo) is
sudo pacman -S gnome gdm xorg xf86-input-evdev
sudo /etc/rc.d/hal start
sudo /etc/rc.d/gdm start
I didn't know that's what xterm was, thanks for telling me. Noob mistake.

[SOLVED] Network manager only works as root

Hello everyone,
I am brand new to arch and have been quite impressed over the past few days over all it has to offer. Everything has been running quite smoothly and I am now in the process of setting up wireless. I installed network manager and was able to connect to a wireless network as root. For my regular user, however, I am running into some issues. First one was that the nm-applet could not be opened in fluxbox. I received the following error:
** (nm-applet:1576): WARNING **: <WARN> request_name(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service.
Error: (9) Connection ":1.27" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the configuration file
I "fixed" this by adding the following to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-applet.conf. Original credit goes to the user in this thread (I only slightly modified his code): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=63576

<policy user="myusername">
<allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings"/>
<allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings"/>
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings"/>
<deny send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSetting.Secrets"/>
</policy>

Now the applet shows up for my regular user, the problem being that it doesn't connect to the wireless networks (only wired). Whenever I try to connect to wireless, nothing happens (the symbol doesn't change in any way, i.e. the green spheres should start circling); I am still able to succesfully connect to wireless using root. Does anyone know what the source of this issue may be? Thank you very much in advance.

Solved: Had to install consolekit and add "ck-launch-session" to my .xinitrc file when starting fluxbox.
Edit: Please note that this also allowed me to remove the previous change to nm-applet.conf (no longer necessary)!

[SOLVED] Netbeans won't work

Hi,
I'm running on x84_64 with X11 and Awesome3.
I'm trying to get Netbeans.
Using yaourt, everything seems to work until I try to launch it : the command 'netbeans' does nothing (and there is no error).
Using the official installer, it is stuck at 'Running the installer wizard...'.
I think that both fail to summon their GUI, but as there is no error, I can't be sure.
Any idea how to fix that ?
Thanks.

Ok, thanks.
I'll wait until tomorrow before doing it, in case (which is more probable) I'm just doing something wrong.
Edit :
I finally got a error :
"netbeans -h" :
java.lang.Error: Probable fatal error:No fonts found.
(Googling that right now)
Edit 2 ;
It needed ttf-bitstream-vera. Maybe it should be added to dependencies ?
It wor-... went to the next problem
Now I have a nice gray box, so I go back to google.
Edit 3:
Solved by using this solution.
Now, it works.

[SOLVED] MPD won't work on system startup

I have just installed and configured mpd today, and it works fine if I start it up manually using "/etc/rc.d/mpd start", however, it fails to start up automatically when I put it in the daemons list in my rc.conf. I have full rights to the ~/.mpd/ directory (since it's in my home folder) and the Music directory. My music database built fine, and everything works fine if I start it up manually. I don't get why it fails to start on system boot.

Hmm. I believe I found the problem. I removed the @ in front of all the daemons to let them start up in order instead of in the background, and everything starts up perfect.
I wonder which daemon MPD relies on that's causing it to fail. Network maybe? Anyone have any ideas?

[Solved] cpufreq won't work... wrong or unhandled cpu

I have installed Arch 86_64 on my HP Notebook DV6 2120ED with a AMD Turion II M520 2,3Ghz CPU, but it will not do frequency scaling.
I use my laptop on the go and it's not needed for it to run at 2,3ghz all the time.
I installed cpufrequtils pmutils acpi libacpi.
i set the rights in
i edited /etc/conf.d/cpufreq so that i now looks like this:
#configuration for cpufreq control
# valid governors:
# ondemand, performance, powersave,
# conservative, userspace
governor="ondemand"
# limit frequency range (optional)
# valid suffixes: Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, THz
min_freq="1.10GHz"
max_freq="2.3GHz"
# use freq to set up the exact cpu frequency using it with userspace governor
#freq=
I did a "modprobe cpufreq_ondemand" and it gives me no errors, this is the same for performance, powersave, userspace aswell.
however when i try to "sudo /etc/rc.d/cpufreq start" it gives me this error:
grep: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors: No such file or directory
, cpu 0wrong, unknown or unhandled CPU?
Error setting new values. Common errors:
- Do you have proper administration rights? (super-user?)
- Is the governor you requested available and modprobed?
- Trying to set an invalid policy?
- Trying to set a specific frequency, but userspace governor is not available,
for example because of hardware which cannot be set to a specific frequency
or because the userspace governor isn't loaded?

and cpufreq-info gives me
driver: powernow-k8
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 1
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 1
maximum transition latency: 8.0 us.
hardware limits: 800 MHz - 2.30 GHz
available frequency steps: 2.30 GHz, 2.10 GHz, 1.50 GHz, 1.10 GHz, 800 MHz
available cpufreq governors: ondemand, performance
current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 2.30 GHz.
The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 2.30 GHz (asserted by call to hardware).
Under ubuntu it works just fine so the processor supports it, what am i doing wrong here ? anyone got any suggestion ?

i seems to have gotten it to frequency scale... but it is not working correctly yet.
I was starting acpi_cpufreq as the driver when should have been using powernow-k8 so now it scales...
I used the command
echo "95" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold
Edit:
It turns out that the ondemand option it very unstable, i now use conservative and this seems fine for now.
So this problem has been solved !!

[SOLVED] Cantata won't work

Hi!
Whenever i start cantata (qt5 community build, version 1.4.0-1), i get an error :
errno: Failed to open database file "/tmp/cantata/mpd/tag_cache": No such file or directory
fatal_error: Couldn't stat parent directory of db file "/tmp/cantata/mpd/tag_cache": No such file or directory
It started only the very first timewithout problems, and i could listen to any song. But then, after a reboot, it didn't work anymore. The only way to get it working again is by touching that tag_cache file in /tmp/cantata/mpd/ (making the mpd dir first, as it doesn't exist in /tmp/cantata).
What can I do? I'm using cantata in single user mode (ie it starts mpd for me).
Thanks!

Solved...damn! I just had to edit .local/share/cantata/mpd/mpd.conf changing the paths /tmp/cantata/mpd/* to .config/cantata/mpd/* and touching those files.

Officejet Pro L7580 connected to home network won't work after working for several years

My Officejet Pro L7580 would not scan today. This happens all the time, but today rebooting, uninstalling, and reinstalling did not work. I finally got it to work by disconnecting it from my local network and using the usb cable. I am running windows 7 (64bit). When i ran the scan diagnostic program, it could not connect to my computer, but the home network diagnostic says everything is ok. The message I get when i try to scan a document is this: "The scan cannot be performed because another program or computer is using the networked HP imaging device. Try again later."

Hi Anti-Phish,
Thank you for your reply, and you as well Captain. I did very carefully follow the process outlined in that post and I've actually gone through it several times to make sure I didn't goof up or miss a step - but no luck.
Everytime I connect the coax on the secondary router, the primary router DHCP connection to verizon disconnects and never re-establishes itself. Although, everything else on the internal network side seems to be working like a champ!
I'm beginning to wonder if the intructions are applicable to the software on my router. The procedure refers to a connection labeled "Broadband Coax" but my software refers to it as "Broadband Connection (Ethernet/Coax)". Eitherway, I still disabled it and the PPPoE connection.
If you've got some ideas and want to be a second set of eyes, I would be happy to share some screen shots of my primary and secondary routers.
Here is the screenshot of my primary router "Network Connections" screen - the secondary router looks identical - in terms of the labels it uses, but keep in mind that after I complete the process on it - the status for the Broadband entry and the PPPoE entry read "Disabled".
-Robert
