I have gotten non-broadcast, mac filtered, non-encrypted wireless working. Now I need help getting wpa2-psk personal working. Does anyone know how to get this working through the command line? I have ndiswrapper installed and it is powering my usb adapter with the windows driver installed, any help would be appreciated!

covener posted:install and configure wpasupplicant Unfortunately that's what I have been doing and I can't seem to get it to work. I'm assuming it works and I'm configuring it wrong, not that it doesn't work. When I do a wpa-suppliment -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d it outputs a huge scan list so I am assuming the wpa_supplicant.conf is correct or partially correct, then instead of -d I do a -B and it runs the daemon. I then cannot connect through knetworkmanager. Anyone have any tips or can someone PM me directly for help?

I'm having some trouble with rtorrent. I recently switched from Azureus - and I'm having some trouble with seeding. Where after the torrent is finished - it doesn't really seed anymore. Here is my .rtorrent file I tried setting the min_peers value to 1. But that made no difference min_peers = value max_peers = value Set the minimum and maximum number of peers to allow in each download. min_peers_seed = value max_peers_seed = value Set the minimum nad maximum number of peers to allow while seeding, or -1 (default) to use max_peers. Does anything look suspect in my config file? One of the things I'm not sure about is the bind and ip setting - bind = a.b.c.d Bind listening socket and outgoing connections to this network interface address. ip = a.b.c.d ip = hostname Set the address reported to the tracker. Does that mean that rtorrent is telling the tracker my ip address is 192.168.1.100? code:

Where after the torrent is finished - it doesn't really seed anymore. What do you mean by "doesn't really seed" - is it just low activity, or no seeding at all? It could be that you're not on a particularly active torrent, or it could also be that your ISP is doing something behind the scenes (Comcast has become notorious for this). rincewind101 posted:Does anything look suspect in my config file? Nothing jumps out at me as being wrong. I'll post my own .rtorrent.rc at the end - mine is much smaller, only a few options set. It looks like you copied the default config and made a couple of edits. rincewind101 posted:One of the things I'm not sure about is the bind and ip setting - Doesn't look like you have any of these settings defined in the config file anyway. Rtorrent shouldn't be claiming your IP address is 192.168.1.100, it should be the address of the internet-facing device of your network. Since you're using a 192.168 network, I'm assuming you're behind some router/firewall device. code:

I'm having some strange issues with Ubuntu 8.04.1 right now. After I pound the network for awhile (500 kbytes/s for a few hours), my downstream caps at around 150 kbytes/s. At first I thought this was my ISP, but even connecting to my local network is slow. There seems to be a lot of latency, because using something like Synergy to control my mouse on my laptop becomes very, very slow. I just brought down the interface with ifconfig, and it caused the machine to hang. This is an integrated motherboard chipset for the network card, and it appears to be using the sky2 kernel driver. Also I should note that restarting the machine causes everything to be fixed. EDIT: It appears this is a known problem. Looks like I'll have to get another network card. EDIT2: Anyone have a suggestion for a cheap network card with solid Linux drivers? CRIP EATIN BREAD fucked around with this message at 14:12 on Jul 19, 2008 |

I'll see if I can find the driver patch - I remember SysKonnect's website being kind of a pain in the rear end to navigate, I may have it lying around somewhere. If nothing else, I'll be able to grab it tomorrow at work, I know I have it on the NAS there.

Whats wrong with my fstab that it wont mount my new satas?quote:/dev/sdb1 /media/musicbackup ext3 auto,user,exec,rw,synch 0 0 and fdisk -l shows quote:/dev/sdc1 1 60801 488384001 83 Linux

rugbert posted:Whats wrong with my fstab that it wont mount my new satas? Error messages are pretty useful for solving problems. Anyway, mixing auto and user is pretty atypical; the automount will normally mount as root, resulting in the user option being almost completely useless. The exec and rw options are default. And your fs_passno field should probably be 2 instead of 0, unless for some reason you don't want fsck to run (perhaps these are removable drives, in which case the user, sync and 0 make sense, but the auto is kinda bonkers). If these aren't removable drives, the sync is just crazy. But I'd guess your problem is spelling sync with an h.

Most of my infrastructure is HP BL25P blades, which have 4 NICs, 2 connected to each Cisco interconnect switch. The interconnects have a 4GB uplink to a 6513, but the two ports that cross-connect the two switches are disabled to prevent spanning tree loops. Round robin load balancing on the nics in this case results in arp flapping between the two interconnects. Active-backup works but we have a few applications for which a single gbit connection is insufficient. I was thinking I could make two round robin teams for the two nics on each switch, and then make an active-backup team out of the two RR teams. Is it even possible to NIC team NIC teams? Am I missing the correct way to do this?

This might have been answered already, but in Kubuntu is there a way to boot with GDM. When I install the OS I like to install from the command line with no extra software except the base and build from there. Unfortunately a consequence of that is that it doesn't boot straight into a windows manager. In Ubuntu inittab has been replaced by event.d, can someone explain how to change the boot runlevels?

I have an odd question. I'll give a bit of background. I use an old Compaq 1Ghz Celeron running Xubuntu. Typically I control it using a vnc session. I usually play music off of it, only it runs really loving slow and to queue up music quickly takes ages. I just acquired a dual xeon 3.0 ghz 4gb ram PowerEdge 2650 from a friend and I put Ubuntu server on that. Only it has no sound card. Here's the question which may take some clarification in the future once a question gets shot to me: Is there a way to share the sound card on the Compaq to the Dell via a media player like Amarok (Which is my first choice to use). code:
Thanks guys, and if clarification is needed let me know.

Found this on the second hit of a google search: http://pulseaudio.org/ Give it a shot... Then again they also do make USB sound cards you could plug into your server. edit: arg beaten

A 1 Ghz Celeron should be plenty fast for normal browsing and things. Something's wrong with your setup if it runs that slow. Why not just take the sound card out of the Celeron and put it in the new computer? To answer your actual question, though, you want to run a PulseAudio server on the machine with the soundcard, and have all the audio clients on the newer machine use either PulseAudio or eSound output (PulseAudio has a backwards-compatibility mode for eSound).

It runs fine when it plays, but browsing, queueing large amounts of albums, etc. can get slow. I also neglected to mention I run SABnzbd+ and Deluge on it. SABnzbd+ is a memory whore when it is par/raring. The sound card is onboard for the celeron. If an audiophile saw my setup they'd scream bloody murder and never speak to me.

I think you can take the device out of /etc/networks/interfaces, the device should be active but will not have networking or detect anything, you can also do this through -> networking in the gui.
