Networking & Firefox issue
All,
I run Kubuntu 14.04 on all my machines (8 desktops, 2 servers, 1 laptop), but recently my keyboard wiped out on my laptop, requiring a replacement. Before the replacement, the keyboard was sometimes not firing when keys were pressed or otherwise sending strange characters. Somewhere it sent characters that caused 2 problems:
I can manually bring up networking but nothing sticks, that is on reboot, back to no network. Thinking the networking issue might be a permissions thing as changes to the files do not seem to stick or are overwritten on reboot. Not sure what file or config to look at in FireFox to fix that issue. Loaded Chrome Browser to prove that problem is isolated to just FF. All help appreciated! TBNK |
Are you using NetworkManager? Wireless or wired connectivity? Commands and output would give us a better picture. So, after you have booted but BEFORE you manually bring up the network, what is shown by the following
Code:
ip addr Code:
ip route Code:
nmcli g Code:
nmcli c |
ferrari,
I'm on eth0 wired for connection, but also must have wifi enabled as this is on my laptop, but bootup gives the "waiting 60 seconds for network, msg but does not connect on bootup. After 10-15 min network finally comes up, without the manual intervention, where I can ping, but the browser issue does not let me browse unless I know a specific non-home page. Running ifconfig I get the following: eth0 IP: 192.168.1.198 eth0:0 IP: 192.168.3.200 wlan0 nothing since not currently connected nmcli g Gives an error of Object g unknown nmcli c Give the last 2 wifi successful connects Oh laptop is an Acer Aspire 7739 running Kubuntu 14.04! Sorry for not answering sooner, had other issues of higher priority to deal with! Cheers! TBNK |
Okay, so you have two IP addresses assigned to eth0? Is that deliberate? Are they statically assigned? Gateway assigned? Can you ping it?
As well as the questions above, show Code:
ip route |
All,
OK found out that if the file: /etc/network/interfacesContain a startup for WIFI (auto wlan0), then you always get the following 2 messages: Waiting for Networking Waiting another 60 seconds for Networking and networking never comes up. If you only have the default auto eth0 then networking comes up fine even if you are not using it and using WIFI instead. To fix this I wrote this bash script: *************************************************************************** Code:
#! /bin/bash So this part solved and since I opened the part on the browser at: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...nk-4175591291/ I'm marking this solved, but still pursuing the browser issue. Cheers! TBNK |
Yes, if NetworkManager is supposed to be controlling a given interface, then there should not be an entry for that interface in /etc/network/interfaces.
