The above step actually restores full use of wireless (only for that session), but we are more interested in wired connections, and I cannot get anything to happen with that. I can get the system tray icon back by restarting certain services (/etc/init.d/: network-manager, network-interface, network-interface-container) but it does not do anything about the ethernet connection.
HOW TO NETBOOT KNOPPIX LINUX SOFTWARE
The software interaction between the GUI "network-manager" and the device configuration has been severed completely for the ethernet device. This mode of operation is all happening unknown to the GUI. But in the properly working config, this is still "roaming" so clearly not the source of the trouble.Įven doing the above step, There is no GUI response when the cable is plugged or re-plugged. This will allow the system to get a dhcp address. In Control Center -> Internet and Network: Network, I can get some functionality back by setting the wired connection from "roaming mode" to DHCP. So the network functionality is unavailable because the software services which are supposed to do that for us are crippled and in a lot of pain, or already dead. I can see my router's webpage by accessing its IP address, but the web browser cannot get at URLs unless I also tweak /etc/nf, and use "#sudo route add default gw x.x.x.x". "#sudo ifconfig eth0" can be used to assign an address (miraculously the device shows up in "ifconfig" and "lshw -class network" where before it was missing), and then pinging can be done in the network. I am not an expert, but this is what I know about the problem so far I need to wipe this rotten config and replace it with the good config. I would like to find out the quickest way I can revert my machines to the way they would be when installed via DVD. Something about the net boot is wreaking havoc on the target system's configuration, even after the PXE LAN was disconnected and it was connected to a "normal" LAN with internet access and a non-PXE DHCP server. This is not a hardware problem as the EXACT same test machine was configured correctly when booted and installed from the DVD.
"#sudo lshw -class network" also shows nothing "#ifconfig" shows no adapter (I know its there) The "system tray" icon that represents the network status is missing. Re-plugging the network cable gets no reaction from the system (expected a notifier box "Network connected") The computer is unable to get a dhcp address.Then on reboot, something terrible happens!
HOW TO NETBOOT KNOPPIX LINUX INSTALL
The PXE boot succeeded (once I learned to work it, 7 hours later) and the install completed without error messages. This would get around lack of DVD drives, and the fact that a lot of our pc models may not support USB booting. So, being the type to get into trouble, I decided to setup a PXE Boot server. The target machines will be laptops and desktops, but not necessarily with DVD drives, or not always working DVD drives. The first difference in terms of installation process, is that Linux Mint won't fit on CD. As the support period of 10.04 approaches an end, and with the release of Ubuntu version 11 and later, we decided that Mint 13 MATE edition would be our choice. I vounteer with an organization that provides computers for those who need them.
