That is weird and a problem I can't help with, this always worked for me, if it was necessary.

lin66uxx · 05-25-2013, 12:53 AM

Any suggestions from others ?

Do you have 3 different hdd's 1-120, 2- 500?

Hi,
OK, so I managed to install debian wheezy 7, I deleted previous partitions of openSUSE, and then used guided to install on largest free space.

now I have different questions, how to connect to the internet using eth0(wired ethernet connection)?
It does not recognize eth1(wifi)?
It has no emacs? if needed to be installed I need to your help in setting the theme.
It has no mplayer?

thnx,

One more question; how do I make the minimize button appear on the window decorator?

To help with that we need more information about your hardware. Please post the output of

Code:

lspci

Once you have the network up and running it is just a matter of launching

Code:

apt-get install mplayer emacs

or using Synaptic/Software Center to install it.
With themes and the Gnome question I can't help, I use neither Emacs nor Gnome.

ifconfig wlan0 up gives:

I managed to add the buttons to the window decorator.

I wanted to add that when inserting the ip address of the modem in web browser and entering the modem, it has no option to set username and password, so I guess it should be configured through the net applet, but it says unmanaged .

The modem is D-Link, DSL-2500U.

cynwulf · 05-25-2013, 08:58 AM

Install firmware-linux-nonfree

Code:

# apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree

After installing

Code:

# modprobe -r r8169 ; modprobe r8169

Not sure how you installed the wifi firmware but:

Code:

# apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi

Code:

# modprobe -r iwlwifi ; modprobe iwlwifi

You should then be able to configure your connections.

I have no internet connection under linux debian 7, I do have internet under windows.

So I guess you mean that I have to download them under windows 7 and then install them using dpkg ?

thnx,

lin66uxx · 05-25-2013, 09:33 AM

OK, I downloaded those packages under windows and then installed them using dpkg -i and then ran the commands given above but nothing changed, wired connection is unmanaged and the wifi says unavailable .

Any help?

EDDY1 · 05-25-2013, 10:50 AM

You have to change to managed & restart

Enabling Interface Management

If you want NetworkManager to handle interfaces that are enabled in /etc/network/interfaces:

Set managed=true in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf.

Restart NetworkManager:

/etc/init.d/network-manager restart

lin66uxx · 05-25-2013, 11:35 AM

Thank you all...
I am happy to have not to use windows as frequent as before...

Thanks,
