Start network connection during boot [KDE4]

I want to able to connect to a network (with key) during boot.
Right now, when my arch is booting, it is trying to connect to a dhcpcd during boot, but fails (after several seconds). Then knetworkmanager and even wicd doesn't seem to work correctly. Knetworkmanager (from KDEmod) seems like doesn't work at all.
What can I do to make it connect during boot? (I usually connect only to one network).

I got it working.. however, I am wondering if I have everything right in my rc.config file, in DAEMONS section (maybe I have there something extra, which I can turn off).
#Static IP example
#eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
#eth0="dhcp"
#INTERFACES=(eth0)
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
# - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
# Enable these network profiles at boot-up. These are only useful
# if you happen to need multiple network configurations (ie, laptop users)
# - set to 'menu' to present a menu during boot-up (dialog package required)
# - prefix an entry with a ! to disable it
# Network profiles are found in /etc/network.d
# This now requires the netcfg package
NETWORKS=(wireless-wep)
# DAEMONS
# Daemons to start at boot-up (in this order)
# - prefix a daemon with a ! to disable it
# - prefix a daemon with a @ to start it up in the background
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs net-profiles hal !networkmanager crond alsa kdm)
Which one do I need? network, netfs? net-profiles?

How to start radeon script during boot?

My system hangs during startx. I have got input what to do but now, I need to create my own systemd.service file to start the script during boot. I have made following /etc/rc.local:
modprobe -r radeon
modprobe -r drm
modprobe radeon modeset=1
and get 644 permissions.
To start this service have I tried /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service
[Unit]
Description=/etc/rc.local
[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/etc/rc.local
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
and systemctl enable rc-local.service
When I boot the system I get the error:
Failed to start /etc/rc.local
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

I think it would be better to launch startx manually and look at the output! I also have a radeon card and use the oss driver. Nothing has to be done for it to work. Are you sure you haven't messed up something else? Something weird in your grub config? What about your files in /etx/X11/xorg.conf.d? Remove every "improvement" you tried to do, I'm pretty sure startx will work just fine then.

[SOLVED] How to get NetworkManager start on background during boot?

NetworkManager has always taken relatively long time to start during boot, presumably waiting for wlan to connect.
$ systemd-analyze blame
7.682s NetworkManager.service
Previously I was able to get it to start on background by removing /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/NetworkManager.service
This prevented multi-user.target from waiting for NM to start and it would continue to connect on background while my boot finishes.
However, after upgrade to networkmanager-0.9.10.0-2 that doesn't seem work any more.
If I remove the .service file from multi-user.target.wants/, NetworkManager doesn't start during boot at all.
enabling NetworkManager.service creates these symlinks:
# systemctl enable NetworkManager
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service.
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/NetworkManager.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service.
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.nm-dispatcher.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager-dispatcher.service.
looks like enabling any other basic systemd unit links the .service file to multi-user.target.wants/ as well..
How can I enable NetworkManager.service during boot without multi-user.target.wants/, and get it to start on background again?
any ideas appreciated :)

Okay, looks like this can be resolved by simply changing the NetworkManager.service type from dbus to forking.
$ systemd-analyze blame
173ms NetworkManager.service
Here's the modified service file if anyone's interested:
place it in /etc/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service
[Unit]
Description=Network Manager
Wants=network.target
Before=network.target
[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/var/run/NetworkManager.pid
BusName=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager
ExecStart=/usr/bin/NetworkManager --pid-file=/var/run/NetworkManager.pid
# NM doesn't want systemd to kill its children for it
KillMode=process
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Alias=dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service
Also=NetworkManager-dispatcher.service
You need to disable NetworkManager.service before creating the file and enable it after so that systemd links the file from /etc/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd,
there may be simpler way but I can't be bothered to go through systemd manuals any more.
Note that this will probably break any systemd .service that actually requires network, although that was the case with my previous workaround as well.
I won't guarantee this will work for you and won't set your machine on fire. If you have issues, simply remove the file and re-enable to go back to default

Dhcpcd-based network fails during boot

Hi,
My fully updated Arch_X86-64/KDE is connected to the Internet router via (on-board wired) eth1, and is configured to get an auto IP address.
This has worked flawlessly for years till two days ago.
Ever since, eth1 service fails during boot, and requires several manual dhcpcd command to finally kick in. The same applies after waking from sleep mode. (see terminal output below)
As can be seen the system is configured to load the (correct) r8169 mode.
Please advise.
Thanks

Please verify that the programs (Ubuntu, Mint, Boot-Repair, etc.) you are attempting to use, support the Atheros AR8161L gigabit ethernet controller natively. Not all operating systems and software programs support every network device and/or configuration otut of the box. Many times, specific drivers must be loaded or injected into the OS for a device to function properly.

If you haven't yet installed the Windows Support Software, that's probably why, so install it now.

ERROR - 1042017 - Network error: The client or server timed out waiting to receive data using TCP/IP. Check network connections. Increase the NetRetryCount and/or NetDelay values in the ESSBASE.CFG file. Update this file on both client and server. Restart the client and.
ERROR - 1006059 - Invalid block header: Illegal block type -- Please use the IBH Locate/Fix utilities to find/fix the IBH problem.

Agreed.
The network error is the client saying it gave up waiting for the server's response, or the server waiting for a pending client request. Typically, this is what happens when the application does a core dump (to use the old-school term).
Causes are numerous, but results are often data corruption (not always). Ensure that the app isn't in a hung state on the server (for windows, find it's thread and kill it if necessary, for unix, use the Kill -9 on it's PID). Once it's down, the database may recover fully, or may require fixing -- but if it's hosed it's often easier to restore from backup and move on.
Avoiding the issue in the future: the message to increase netretry/netdelay is misleading. If you get the timeouts on the network often, this is indeed the answer, but if you got the timeout because of a locked database, it's just a transient symptom that is unrelated.
What caused the lock-up? Intermittent network issues from an ill-timed backup of the server in the next rack, or a power outage in a router, doesn't really matter -- unless it becomes a reaccurring issue -- then it's time to find the network manager and pound some common sense into them (just kidding, I'm sure they will be pro-actively addressing issues like this... well, maybe...). Just let them know that you are having network performance issues if it happens again.
Meanwhile, validating the database is important to ensure the corruption has been cleaned up. You can do it from EAS or a MAXL statement, but do it before trying to repair it with any tools or recovering from a backup.

Windows takes an obscenely long time to establish a network connection after booting

Often, when I reboot my machine for whatever reason, it boots up normally, I log in, it shows my desktop, loads all the icons and then takes upwards of 5 minutes or longer for the networking icon in the taskbar so show that I have network access (shows that
little blue ring). Now, normally I wouldn't think this is much of a problem since I've found a blog at one point detailing how to change the address it's using for that confirmation. However, in this case, I'm unable to use (m)any other windows
services until it decides I'm connected.
For instance, I'm unable to open the registry editor - I'll open the start menu, search for regedit and run it, but will no longer be able to use the search tool in the Start menu until the registry editor appears and that won't appear until the network
configuration decides I'm connected. If I open a browser (doesn't matter if it's Firefox, Chrome or IE), I'm unable to visit any sites - they say I'm not connected. I'm unable to open the Network and Sharing center at all - if I try to left or
right click the network icon in the taskbar, nothing happens. If I try to visit the Network and Sharing center by typing the address in a folder window, it simply never loads until that icon shows I'm connected.
In other words, my computer is pretty unusable until Windows decides I do have an internet connection. A little about that - I've had this problem for about a month now and have experienced it while connected via wire to two different routers (Netgear,
now Linksys E3000). That doesn't seem to be the problem. My connection is perfectly fine at all other times except when my system boots (so it shouldn't be the wires) and I've both kept myself updated with all the latest Win7 patches and firmware for
the netword card + other system components. Oh, and no other computer on my network has this networking issue.
My system is running Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Maybe try this, i am not sure that it will resolve the problem, but it is worth trying anyways.

Hi All,
I've seen this problem multiple times, especially with Windows 7 64-bit versions and Enterprise edition. The source of the problem appears to be the Bonjour service that is installed in the background and set to "Automatic" when installing certain 3rd
party applications. Apple applications like iTunes and Adobe applications like Acrobat Professional and Creative Suites have been known to cause this problem. I've also seen virtualization software like VMWare and VirtualBox cause similar issues
with network adapters.
The solution in most of the cases I've come across has been to stop and disable the Bonjour service. The Bonjour service also masquerades as a service with a name of the format "##Id_String1.6844F930_blahblahblah". Here's how to disable this service
in Windows 7:
Right-Click on Computer > Select 'Manage'
Expand the 'Services and Applications' section in the bottom of the Left-Nav dialog and Select 'Services'
Sort the Services list by name and look for either "Bonjour" or the "##Id_String..." name mentioned above
Right-Click on the service and select 'Properties'
Click the 'Stop' button to stop the service
Select 'Disabled' from the 'Startup type' drop down list
Click 'Apply' and then 'OK'
Reboot your machine and see if the "Multiple Networks" issue is resolved. If so, you should have internet connectivity again.
Hope this helps.
cheers,
Aaron

[SOLVED] start network dhcp at boot

Automatic start of dbconsole during boot

Is there an easy way to automatically start the dbconsole when a cluster node boots (unix) ? I don't mean putting "emctl start dbconsole" in a rc Skript. I would prefer an integration in clusterware.

Sure, there are several steps but it's not impossible.
Step 1 build application VIP
crs_profile -create dbcVIP1 -t application -a /u01/crs1020/bin/usrvip \
-o oi=eth0,public_ip,on=public_ip_netmask
crs_register dbcVIP1
crs_setperm dbcVIP1 -o root
crs_setperm dbcVIP1 -u user:oracle:r-x
crs_start dbcVIP1
Step 2 write start/stop/status shell script
Place in $CRS_HOME/crs/script on all nodes
#!/bin/sh
case $1 in
'start')
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/emctl start dbconsole
RET=$?
'stop')
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/emctl stop dbconsole
RET=$?
'status')
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/emctl status dbconsole
RET=$?
esac
exit $RET
Step 3 assemble pieces
crs_profile -create myDBC -t application -r dbcVIP1 -a script.sh -o ci=5,ra=2
crs_register myDBC
crs_setperm myDBC -o oracle
crs_setperm myDBC -u user:oracle:r-x
crs_start myDBC

Hanging network connection during file transfer

Hi,
Often, when I try to copy large files (1+ GB) through the network from my PowerMac G5 to my Mac Mini (PPC) the file transfer hangs after a short time.
The network is wired. G5 and network hub are Gigabit, the Mac Mini is Megabit.
When hanging I have to force quit the Finder and reboot the G5. I don't have to reboot the Mac Mini.
Any ideas why these transfers keep hanging?
Thanks!
Maarten

It depends how quick the laptop can write the data to disk/storage too.

Netcfg2 not providing menu during boot

Hi,
I've spent the morning configuring netcfg2 on my system, and it's certainly easier than my last experience with Ubuntu Server.
I have no problems connecting when running the #netcfg2 wireless (where wireless is my configuration). My issue is that this command needs to be run as root, manually.
The instructions and what I have gleaned off of forum posts indicate I should disable the network daemon in /etc/rc.conf, as it isn't needed anymore. I also have ensured NETWORKS=(menu) or NETWORKS=(wireless) so that the menu or just the wireless comes up during the boot process. Except no menu comes up, and neither does the wireless during boot.
Some context: I'm running this old IBM thinkpad i1500 (celeron 450MHz) without a GUI, to force myself to learn eLinks, Mutt, vim and w3m, so my goal is to have the network connect during boot, so I don't have to use root or su.
I have somehow missed whatever config setting launches the NETWORKS=(menu) as part of the boot process. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rob

Hi.
What about, instead of using NETWORKS=(menu), having one of the startup scripts (rc.local or similar) run /usr/bin/netcfg-menu? You can also try asking in the netcfg2 thread; I think iphitus is monitoring that thread for questions and problems: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=43863.

[Solved]Can't get past "Starting network" during installation from USB

I'm trying to do a fresh install of Archlinux on my laptop, following the Beginners Guide. However, I never get to the shell prompt because the installation gets stuck at "Starting network [Busy]".
These are steps I followed:
- I downloaded the latest Arch ISO.
- I wrote it to a usb stick ("Kingston Data Traveler") with "dd if=archlinux.iso of=/dev/sdb"
- I put the usb stick into my laptop (HP Pavilion dm1-4139sd), and booted it. I chose "x86_64". Everything seems to go fine, the only warning I get is: "microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin".
- I get the message "INIT: Entering runlevel: 3" and "Starting Syslog-NG [Done]", after that its endlessly (at least 20 minutes) stuck on "Starting network [Busy]".
I tried the following variations on the above:
- Wrote the ISO to a different USB, samen problem.
- Tried it with a different Arch version (from August), same problem.
- Turned kvm on and off, same problem.
- Pressed TAB at the "x86_64" line and added "acpi=off" to the end of it. I then get:
:: Triggering uevents....

You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[rootfs /]#
I'm not sure what to do in this prompt. At least the network isn't working and none of the normal commands.
- I reset the DHCP leases on my modem, same problem.
- I turned off/on the hardware WLAN, same problem.
- I tried it with or without the LAN cable plugged in, same problem.
- I tried it with or without the battery plugged in, and with or without the power cable plugged in. Same problem.
I also performed the Arch memory test, and the bios hard disk test. They both report no errors.
I did an Arch installation a month ago on this laptop, and back then it didn't have this problem. I still have that arch installed from back then and it boots/works without problem (I have Starting NetworkingManager [Done]). I know I technically don't need to install arch again, as I still have the old one, but I wanted to clean the changes I made to some settings files and I if it turns out this is some kind of hardware problem I'd like to return it to the store.
Please help! I'm not really that familiar with Linux in general, so it might have been a very basic mistake from me as well. I have no idea what to do next, except for formatting my harddisk (which I don't think should influence the installer?), or trying to install a different Linux distro.
Edit: The solution that solved this problem for me in the end was resetting the BIOS to its defaults.

Yes, I downloaded it using BitTorrent and the MD5 matches.

Yes, I tried it with 2 different USB sticks. They are both from the same brand ("Kingston DataTraveler"), so I might try different brands as well, but I don't think it is the problem.

The methods for writing the ISO that I tried so far:
The base method:
dd if=archlinux.iso of=/dev/sdb
(from an Arch install)
The method without overwriting your USB drive (created a FAT32 drive with an VFAT filesystem, from an arch install)
Using Imagewriter (from Windows)
Each method gives the same result: the laptop gets stuck at "Starting network [Busy]" when booted from one of the USB sticks. My modem indicates that it "sees" the laptop, but that the laptop has no established connection. When the laptop is stuck at the "Starting network [Busy]", all the activity on the USB stick stops (the light stops flashing).
The thing I find most strange is that the OS currently installed on the laptop has no problems booting or accessing the internet (both wired and wireless) at all.

Errors during boot OEL 5.5 starting a 11.2 instance

Hello,
I've installed Oracle 11GR2 on OEL 5.5 and a I created a db instance. How I can see why my db instance is not up? More precisely , how I can get errors messages thrown by procedure that start oracle instance during boot process (I am sure that kind of messages is thrown but I can't see them).
Many thanks,
Aurel

Hi;
I've installed Oracle 11GR2 on OEL 5.5 and a I created a db instance. How I can see why my db instance is not up? More precisely , how I can get errors messages thrown by procedure that start oracle instance during boot process (I am sure that kind of messages is thrown but I can't see them).For can see your db up or not u can run :
ps -ef|grep lg
oracle 6750316 1 0 Feb 28 - 0:03 asm_lgwr_+ASM
oracle 9437238 14418146 0 16:06:56 pts/3 0:00 grep lg
oracle 14745644 1 0 15:50:41 - 0:00 ora_lgwr_orcl
So my asm instance and db instance is up
For alert or error message you need to create one sh which is cheking alert.log,if you hit ORA error than it can send u email

New iMac -- Do I need to create a wired network connection?

I'm new to Macs so please bear with me. My new iMac is arriving in a few days, and I'm reading through the manual just to get a leg up for when it gets here. Page 11 of the user's guide explains how to set up an Ethernet connection, but the manual does not say anything about setting up a wireless network connection during initial setup. Will I be able to do that or will I need to create an Ethernet connection first, then set up the wireless?

The setup for wireless is the same. Open Network prefs, select the Airport port, click on Configure button. Check the box to show status in the menubar, then click on Advanced button and click on the TCP/IP tab. All you need to do is set the Configure IPv4 option for the Airport port to DHCP and then click on the Apply button.
