Nothing can be run after internet is connected

After recent updates, my gnome sucks. (Tried xfce4, it works.) The problems is that no software can be run in gnome after the wireless connection is established.
I tried to disconnect it, and then everything worked just fine (of course, without internet). In that case, I opened a terminal, and reconnected the internet,  and tried to do something:
$sudo gedit /etc/rc.conf
Password:
No protocol specified
$dropboxd
No protocol specified
Everything I did ended up with a "No protocol specified".
How can I fix this problem?

Yes, I am using network-manager. Then, how can I fix it? Cheers.
to really fix this, you should help writing a backend for archlinux. We do patch networkmanager to not do that but seems there is another case which i can't figure it out.
maybe your dhcp server is sending you the hostname?

  • Can't run iTunes unless ipod connected

    I'm running itunes version 7.3.2.6. Until recently I only used ITunes to put a few CD's onto iIpod. I now find that I can't run ITunes unless the ipod is connected. Is this normal?
    If I try to run iTunes without the ipod connected I get error message "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed".
    Tried upgrading to V7.5 but it won't install and I receive error message "The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed".
    Tried uninstalling manually but no joy there.
    Tried using the Windows Installer CleanUp utility but that leaves lots of files in the iTunes and QuickTime folders and some can't be deleted as they are apparently in use by another program.
    Can anyone help?

    +"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.+
    Okay. That's consistent with the other messages.
    Given that there's been a problem with both the itunes and Apple Software Update msi's, there may also be an issue with the QuickTime msi (which hasn't had the opportunity to surface yet).
    So let's try the following procedure with that one.
    launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
    Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes or QuickTime program files:
    (1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
    (2) Open the Program Files folder.
    (3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
    (4) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. (Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
    (5) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue. (Note: These files may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
    (6) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
    (7) Restart your computer.
    Does an itunes install go through now?
    *If things don't go well ...*
    ... another couple of questions:
    If you get an error message when trying to remove a folder, can let us know precisely what it says? (Mention the file it cites.)
    If there were no iTunes or QuickTime entries showing in CleanUp, were there any mysterious blank lines in the entries (or lines containing just version numbers, not names of software)?

  • How can i run wireless internet when using windows xp on my imac?

    I recently installed Windows XP on my imac using Boot Camp, everything works great except the internet. ive been looking but i have found no way to get the internet to work via my wireless connection, or is it just not possible?
    Could it be that i am missing some drivers? Anyone know where i can get them?
    Sorry if im asking too much stuff.
    Thanks in advance

    Depending on the wireless base station brand and specifications,
    you may have to set up the Windows system to find & use it...
    Just about the same as setting up any Windows PC to go online;
    except, if you have an Apple base station...
    If you have an AirPort base station, there are updates for Windows
    to help use that access point, from your Mac, running Windows.
    An example, but not necessarily the correct answer, in the following:
    • AirPort Utility 5.4.2 for Windows

  • Can we run xMII without Plan Connectivity?

    Gurus:
    We are previewing the install guide for xMII and Plan Connectivity.
    I do not see the dependency between the two components.
    Do we have to install Plan connectivity if we run xMII?
    Thanks!

    Plant Connectivity (PCo) and the Universal Data Servers (UDS) are optional supporting components of MII, for certain types of data connectivity and specialized alerting, but are only required when necessary.

  • I go onto the itunes store and nothing is coming up? Internet is connected.

    It loads in the bar at the top, but then is still blank!!! Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey lara_w_22,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing a blank iTunes Store on OS X. To troubleshoot, let’s try resetting your iTunes Store cache via iTunes Preferences > Advanced:
    iTunes 10 for Windows: iTunes Advanced preferences (iTunes 10.2 and later)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1582
    Reset iTunes Store cache
    iTunes saves the store pages you visit on your computer in a temporary location called the “cache.” If you return later, iTunes can retrieve the page from the cache faster than getting it from the Internet.
    If the content on a page seems outdated, you may want to reset the cache to make iTunes retrieve the latest version of the page. If you think a page is not opening properly, resetting the cache may help.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Start process from JSP which continues running after response is completed

    Is it possible to start a process from within JSP which can continue running after the HTTP response is complete, so the response doesn't time out??

    Your question is a little vague. If I am understanding your question correctly, it sounds like you are starting a process in JSP that takes a long time, and the browser is timing out. If this is your question, then here is my response:
    We've had this situation before. Often times it occurs because the JSP page launches a long database operation that could take an hour. You have a few choices, but one good approach is this (any variation of this works too):
    1. When the page loads and you need the process to start, create a new thread and have the long operation run from this thread. You can put the thread object into a session variable and store it for later use.
    2. Have the JSP code output a META-REFRESH tag on the page so that the page refreshes every 30 seconds or so.
    3. On each refresh, you get the thread object from the session context and check it to see if it is done or still running. If it is, then just output another META-REFRESH and the page will keep refreshing itself. If it is done, you can, of course, output a "finished" message to the user.
    You can also have a stop button on the page that you can use to send a message to the thread to stop.
    Hope that gives you some ideas!

  • Can I run 2 wireless networks on the same single internet connection?

    I wanted to be able to use only my WRT350N to be able to broadcast "N" out into the yard but because it does not broadcast as far as the WRT54G I will have to settle on plan B.
    I want to set up two wireless networks using my WRT54G V1 with a WSB24 and my new WRT350N wireless routers.
    My last working setup was:
    WRT350N with two 1Gb connections to my desktop computers in ports 1 & 2, my link to the WRT54G in port 3 and my HP printer in port 4. The address was changed to 192.168.1.50 and an encryption key used to secure the connection the N network to my laptop.
    WRT54G with only the WSB24 connected to provide an unsecured 802.11g wireless connection. We live in the country and I am not worried about unauthorized access to this.
    I have found that I can not make a stable wireless connection from the WRT350N past 50 ft. in the house and can not get a connection from this router out of the house. (hence the reuse of the WRT54G)
    Still following?
    My older router (WRT54G V1 and WSB24) allowed me to roam our yard out to about 175ft from the antennas with the 3945 Intel wireless adapter that is in my Gateway laptop. When I purchased the WUSB300N adapter for the "N" connection, I am able to get a 17% "G" signal in one of the outer buildings at about 200 ft from the WRT54G and not stable connection from the WRT350N past 50ft.
    I was able to run the WRT54G as a gateway after changing its address to 192.168.1.51 and leaving the WRT350N at 192.168.1.50 before I updated the WRT350N to v1.03.6 last night and turned it into a brick.
    That is talked about in a different thread.
    This setup allowed me to connect to the internet outside of the house with the laptop.
    Is there a better way to set this up?
    Thanks for your help.

    If I understand your request correctly it sounds like you want to create a VLAN, two different logical networks on the same physical network. If that's the case however, it would seem that neither the WRT54G nor the WRT350N supports VLAN, at least not without flashing the firmware on one or both of the devices. If you do choose to pursue flashing the firmware with third-party firmware that supports VLAN you might want to look into DD-WRT, HyperWRT, or some other firmware. Keep in mind flashing with third-party firmware voids your warranty with Linksys.

  • Can i run a printer off the ethernet cable connection without hurting the imac or is the ethernet slot only for internet connection?

    can i run a printer off the ethernet cable connection without hurting the imac or is the ethernet slot only for internet connection?

    Hi, Alan -
    How can I connect to both printer (HP 4050n, via direct connection) and internet (via LAN), as my iMac has only one R45 port?
    You can, but you'll need to expand your cabling a bit.
    You'll need to get an intermediate ethernet hub, switch, or router. That device sits alone, with the Mac, your printer, and your modem/LAN plugged into it.
    If you are already using a router, either separate or in combination with the modem (many modems have a built-in router), then you just need a hub or switch.
    I use an ethernet switch (10/100/1000) to let both my Macs (a 2010 iMac and an elderly G4 DA model) use my HP4000n printer and my modem. The ethernet switch is a passive device, meaning there's no setup nor instructing it required - it's truly plug-and-play. All four items (two Macs, printer, and modem) are plugged into it via ethernet; both Macs have full-time independent access to the printer and the modem.

  • On XP SP3 can't run plug-in, get IE script error without running IE, click Yes or No, nothing more happens

    I am running XP SP3 and FF 3.6.18. I have been having trouble opening PDFs in FF but not in other browsers. FF tells me to update my Adobe PDF plug-in. I click in the FF list to update, go through the procedure and when I click on run I get the following message: "Internet Explorer script error," although I am not running IE and I have no other applications open or running other than Avast anti-virus. The pane gives me two options to the question "Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?": Yes or No. After clicking on either, the pane disappears, but nothing further happens. I have then downloaded the plug-in again, but when trying to run it I get the message: "Only a single instance of this application can run." I have tried downloading the plug-in to a different folder but get the same message. I have also turned off Avast with no change in the above. Now no PDFs open in FF. What to do? Thanks.

    Thanks for your response...
    I can wait.  After all, it was by waiting for the release of the 10h version after the 10e version sabotaged my flash installation, that I was eventually able to at least get Firefox up and running flash again...
    It's just frustrating to think that the folks at Adobe can't come up with a better product testing cycle so they are unleashing these problems on end users systems...
    I recognize that there may be some sort of issue with my particular system registry.  If so, I wish I knew what it was...but flash releases are the only installations I ever have any difficulty with...All of the other software I run updates without failing....sad to say...
    Perhaps I will try running a home edition version of secedit (See here)http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222 instead of the clean or repair install...I'll let you know what I decide and how it works out...
    Anyway, thanks for the input..

  • Networks will "connect" over Wifi, but DNS resolution is impossible and I can't access the internet.

    My OSX 10.7.5 iMac (late 2011) will connect to my university's wireless network and thinks it's connected to the internet, but cannot resolve any DNS - and cannot actually access the internet on any browser or internet-utilising app. My university has 2 networks, a regular wifi one and an eduroam one. I have the same problem on both networks. My MacBook, running Snow Leopard, and my iPad (latest software) both connect to both networks just fine.
    Because it's my university's network, i can't reset my router or anything like that. I'm in halls. I don't think it's a network issue, because all my other devices are fine.
    I've searched high and low on these forums but haven't found anyone having exactly the same problem as me - I've heard of odd few minutes of people losing their connections in this manner, but my computer's been down now for hours and nothing. I've restarted it many times, even once in "Recovery Mode" and I'm getting nothing. I've followed instructions to flush my DNS cache, renew DHCP leases, I've tried manually inputting various DNSes I've found (eg the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 google ones), none of which have worked.
    Using terminal, I can't ping either an http:// domain, or an IP address. Both get "timed out" as a response. I can't access the internet on any browser (chrome, safari, firefox), my google mail notifier, Skype, or my twitter app. Or anything else.
    I'm relatively computer literate, but I'm not particularly code-savvy, so I'd really appreciate it if I could get some step-by step help on here, bearing in mind what I've already tried. I'm really worried, because it all seems to have happened completely out of the blue. Last time I updated was some time a couple weeks ago; I update whenever my software update beeps at me.
