[SOLVED] Neither wireless nor wired internet working

Hello everyone, I've installed Arch Linux on my Toshiba L645D-S4056. I installed it from the Core CD, as my adapters aren't working. As of now without internet access you can't do much, so here I am. Here is the output of lspci:

Thanks in advance, and I am posting this in Ubuntu, so I'm not sure how I am going to be able to copy and paste other commands from my Arch install.

you need to install the realtek and artheros drives for your computer. You can do this from your ubuntu install by chroot into arch, or by copying the files you need to your arch install and doing pacman -U
see this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=46583
packages in aur: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php? … _Search=Go
I would suggest chrooting though, that is what I did to get networking working on arch. Often it will work out of box after updating everything.
how to chroot:
mkdir /mnt/arch
mount /dev/<device-or-partition-name> /mnt/arch
cd /mnt/arch
mount -t proc proc /arch/proc
mount -t sysfs sys /arch/sys
mount -o bind /dev /arch/dev
if you have other partitions for boot, home, etc mount those also.
example
mount /dev/<device-or-partition-name of boot> /mnt/arch/boot/
then
chroot . /bin/bash
you should be logged into the arch system in the terminal in ubuntu. You can then run pacman -Syu
please see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Change_Root
Alright so I've successfully chrooted into my Arch install, however it appears my network is still being undetected:

Neither wireless or wired mouse works smoothly...

... there's a slight delay with the pointer, which makes it really hard to use drop down menus and clicking on specific areas of the page. I've already changed the preferences to make the mouse go faster & I have a mousepad... I have no idea what's wrong... any ideas?

What kinds (brand and model) of mice are you using. Have you installed any kind of special driver for your mouse/mice?
Are any connections directly to the mini -- or are you using a usb hub, ps2 converter, or KVM switch?
Does the delay appear when the computer is freshly started, or only after some programs are running?
How much RAM memory do you have? What model Mini (Intel or G4?)
Is this a new problem that formerly didn't exist?

Since I upgrade my Iphone 4S to iOS 6 neither my home wireless nor my email works. MY data charges are going through the roof (Its so expensive here in NZ) I have spent time with my mobile provider, and time with my home wireless provider,and some time I got rthrought o an Appple help desk in Colorado. Nothing helps! Does anyone have any idea when these faults (And other onviously glitches with iOS 6) will be fixed?

This may have something to do with your problem. Check the manufacturer's website to see if there is a firmware update for the router.

[Solved] Preferencing Wireless over Wired

Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I'm doing some work with an embedded device that I need to access by ethernet. The device is configured to sit on 192.168.10.1 (at the moment). I've configured my laptop to sit on 192.168.10.23. At the same time, I have my laptop connect to a corporate guest wifi connection - which gives me access to the internet.
My problem is that I can bring both the wireless and wired interfaces up, but as soon as the wired interface comes up, I can no longer access the internet through the wifi connection. What I want to is have any connections outside of 192.168.10.x routed through the wifi.
What is the easiest/cleanest way to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

Excellent, I completely understand now, thanks guys. I know enough to sort this out.
For anyone else who might have the same problem -
There are two issues here; the priority of the network and the default route.
The metric parameter listed in the routing table determines the priority of the network. The network priority determines which networks gets to go first. The lower this number is the more important it is.
The default route is the 'fall-through' rule. If your destination address does not match any other rule, it will fall through to this.
In my situation, I'd need to set the metric parameter on the eth0 route rule higher than the wlan routes, and then remove the default routing rule on eth0 and ensure it exists for wlan0.
In the event you want to make this automatic, you can add routing commands into your netctl profiles with the 'Routes' or alternatively the 'ExecUpPost' commands. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1360955
Edit:
Now I've had time to fix this I'll add an example
Description='A connect to Jetbox'
Interface=eth0
Connection=ethernet
IP=static
Address=('192.168.10.23/24')
Routes=('192.168.0.0/24 via 192.168.10.1')
#Gateway='192.168.10.1'
8 DNS=('192.168.10.1')
For me, commenting out the gateway prevented the default route from being added and ensured that it gave preference to the wifi connection.

Why do I get connection failed when logging in on app store on wireless, but Wired LAN works fine?

I've been having the same issue as many other people. On OSX Lion with latest updates as of 3/20/2012. Tried deleting .plist files, checking keychain access and even reset keychain. I still get the error of Connection Failed when trying to download updates or a new app from the app store.
I also can't connect to the iTunes "Account" area. It produces an error that the request failed (-1200)
I finally decided to try a wired connection instead of my wireless. Now it works great! So I removed my wireless network and re-added it. Back to square one. Work around for now is fine, but I should be able to use this over wireless, too!
I just now tested connecting to a different wireless network (EVO Hotspot) and it worked fine. So it's something specific to my office wireless network. Nothing changed on our firewall (I'm the administrator). It just stopped working.

Never mind it didnt notice the warning here:

But is there a way after all to run console kit even if the session isn't registered as local?

The space bar does not seem to be working on wireless keyboard wired keyboard works fine?

Can anybody help? The space bar on my wireless keyboard has stopped working. i have tried all the preferences resets and checked the speech prefrences and they're all normal, i've got the old original usb keyboard and space bar works fine. I've tried taking one end of the spacebar up giving it a blow though incase of dust but that all seems clear.
Anyone got a solution?

Can't get my wired internet working

As the topic sujests, I can't get my wired ethernet working.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.2, I have a Linksys WRT54G router
configured to automatic DHCP.
I go into my iMac's System Preferences > Network > Ethernet.
I should be able to select DHCP from the configure menu and the router
should give me my IP address. I went into the router's settings and put my computers MAC address in, and it has assigned my iMac an IP. But on the iMac,
it doesn't come up.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I tried that.
The way I got it to work is: I set the "configure" to manually. Then I entered the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS Server, and Search Domains. And now it works. Thanks for your suggestion though.

X200s tried to add webcam - now neither webcam, nor thinklight will work

Hi all,
So, as the username hopefully indicates - a newbie to the x200s, which I bought recently, though I've been using thinkpad products for a few years now (a devoted fan!)
My x200s did not come with a webcam and, since I am thousands of miles from home, I reckoned I would try and install one manually. Note that I have swaped its HDD for an SD & changed keyboard in the past with no problem, so I was assuming (foolishly, perhaps!) that vaguely knew what I was doing.
I followed the instructions and user experiences on this thread, I purchased this camera - and got off to work.
Even though everything seemed fine when adding the camera to the system, a strange thing happened after I rebooted (I run Linux Mint 16): neither the webcam, nor the thinklight were now working. After lots of testing, I assumed I must have just destroyed part of the cable during installation, and so I purchased this cable (Lenovo ThinkPad X200 LCD Video Cable 44C9909) and tried again. Same result! The only difference is that the first time round, an "lsusb" command on linux would return a Ricoh product (and I assume that's the webcam), but it would still not be recognised by Mint, while now, there's nothing. In both cases, the Thinklight didn't work.
Since both the thinklight and the webcam come out at the same end (see the right end of the cable on this picture) I am assuming, of course, that the two are related.
Would anyone know which of the clips on the left end of the cable on the same picture, above, correspond to the webcam and the thinklight?
Thanks for reading, and any response and thoughts on the above would be most appreciated - a little bit at loss at to what to do now.

Hi,
perhaps HMM and Service Video might help.
Be sure integrated camera is enabled in the BIOS Setup menu.

VERY slow wireless, FAST wired internet problem

Someone... PLEASE help me. I just spent 2 hours w/apple, and they couldn't fix it.
I have the airport extreme base station. It was working FINE, until a few day/a week ago. Now when I connect using my airport card in my MBP or my iMac, it get about 17KB/sec. If I go wired, I get almost 2MB/sec. Apple coudn't help me. Is there anyway around this? My dell laptop (for work) connects to the extreme base station and gets about 2MB/sec, so it has to do with something on the Apple side.
Any suggestions? I'd hate to go and buy another router and having to scrap this expensive router and the airport express I bought. That's $300 right down the freakin' drain....

First, double-check the AirPort settings on the iMac. They should be nearly identical to those of the MBP.
Then, make sure that your iMac has the latest AirPort updates applied.
Other things to try...
- Create a new "clean" OS X user account, and then, logon as that user. (Note: You will want to keep this new account "clean," i.e., don't use it daily or add programs so that you can use it for any future troubleshooting session as needed.)
- Create a new AirPort Location, and then, switch to this location.
- Check Network Port Configurations and verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it's not, drag it to the top. While there, see if there are any other ports enabled that you are not using (Modem, Bluetooth, etc.) and disable them.
- Remove AirPort configuration (.plist) files. Start by moving the AirPort preference files to a safe location. OS X will rebuilt these files after you restart the computer. The particular files to try are (I's assuming that you have OS X 10.4+ on the iMac):
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
- preferences.plist
- NetworkInterfaces.plist
- com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
Start with the first one, restart the computer and check the wireless performance. If no improvement, move on to the next, and so on. Remember to move them to a "safe" location first, just in case you need to restore them.

Wired internet works fine, wifi does not work at all...

I can't connect to my home wi-fi network (connection is fine when using ethernet). I've confirmed the password to my network is correct, and I've tried to reconfigure the airport connection to no avail. I've tried DHCP, DHCP with manual address, and manually--even tried turning DHCP off. When I tried just DHCP, I also tried to renew the DHCP lease, which didn't help. I'm stymied, and starting to wonder about the wireless network card.
I can connect fine with my laptop (MacBook Pro). The wireless router is about 3 feet from my desktop computer, so I'm pretty sure there are no reception issues.
Do you have any ideas for me?

Hi BDA,
I turned off the security in the router, and Airport worked just fine. So that's good, I guess the Airport card is healthy.
Then I turned the security back on to WPA in the router and can't log in. I rebooted (the Mac) and tried to turn on Airport, but the prompt which asks for a password will not accept the password. So I thought maybe it needed to be put back into the keychain (I am not very familiar with how the keychain works, it seems to be kind of automatic?). Anyway, I can't seem to enter the password into the keychain.
I did try WEP in the router, in case the airport card is so old it doesn't recognize WPA or WPA personal. That didn't do anything either.
Do you have any thoughts? I figured that turning off the security in the router is as good as rebooting as Ralph suggested.
Thanks for your time.

Neither Intel nor AMD graphics working on HP g6

I have a HP Pavilion g6 just built a few months ago. Has integrated Sandy graphics and Radeon HD 6470M
I can get neither to work have tried a blank xorg config and tried adding radeon and intel to the devices in the xorg.conf.d folder. I keep getting the error
(EE) No devices found
only vesa works
- A thanks to all who help in advance

Not sure if you have tried this yet but https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hybrid_graphics
This walks you through how to manually fix the problem, however there is an AUR available: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51704

I cannot ope PDF files that are within a web link. Neither Safari nor Firefox will work. If I receive a PDF file as an email attachment, I can open it with either Adobe or Preview. I'm running 10.6.8 on an iMac.

I'm going to re-state this. Several weeks ago, I had installed Security Update 2012-004 on my iMac. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Immediately afterwards, my Mail 4.6 was GONE. Mail 4.2 was there, but the system would not open it. The Apple Support Communites quickly solved my problem. The problem lay within the Update. Now, I cannot open PDF files that are contained within a website, i.e. a lunch menu that is on a restaurant website. This happens on both Safari and Firefox. If someone sends me an email with an attached PDF file, I can open the file with either Adobe or Preview. This is happening only on my iMac. My MacBook Pro, also running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 has not experienced either the first or second problem. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Does this help with Firefox?

Why are my Contacts NOT in alpha order (neither First nor Last order works)?

It doesn't matter what order I specify in Preferences, the Contacts are not in alphabetical order. This is crazy! What am I doing wrong?
It has to be something very simple and it's right in front of me, but I just can't see what the problem is.
Thanks.
Matt

It could be that you have spurious characters in the filenames? When you do a Manual sort a hidden file is created in the folder you are working in .BridgeSort this is just a text file with the list/order of the files. It might be worth having a look at the file and see if anything strange is happening.

[SOLVED] Neither wireless nor wired internet working
