I upgraded to F12 and I can only run a console session. Help ! (wifii administration from a console ?)
I've been running F11 pretty much since it came out. It worked well. I upgraded to F12 earlier this evening. For whatever reason it will not start an X session. I think the problem is that I was using the nvidia driver and kmod can't get an internet connection due to wifi not finding a network connection but when I change my xorg.conf file to use nouveau it doesn't work either. I think i could rectify the situation if I ran yum update but I don't have a wifi connection from the console session. How does one administer a wifi connection from the command line in F12 ? I know my SSID, etc, but how do I set it from the command line ?

iwconfig lets me set the various parameters of an interface, but how do I start that interface such that the router assigns it an IP and DNS works ?

NM can be configured to activate on boot, without waiting for a login, so system-config-network from a console ought to do it. I say ought to because when I tried it I got a completely different dialogue from the usual one, which is disconcerting.

If not, you could just yumdownloader cnetworkmanager on another machine and copy the RPM over with an USB stick and install it, all dependencies should be met when you installed a normal desktop system. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Excellent. I wish I known about this earlier. The idea that a fundamental component of the system should be controlled primarily via a GUI has always bothered me. It's just not the Unix Way (tm). poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I installed cnetwork manager and I can't get a wifi connection for some reason. I invoke cnetworkmanager -C myISSD options and hangs. So I got out a network cable and plugged into my router. I can ping the router the router just fine (192.168.0.1) but as soon as I try to reach anything beyond that (ping www.google.com) I get an unknown host error. Why and how do I fix that ? cnetworkmanager shows eth0 to up activated.

linux guy - Sunday 13 December 2009 15:34:41: I installed cnetwork manager and I can't get a wifi connection for some reason. I invoke cnetworkmanager -C myISSD options and hangs. If you're connecting to a wireless network you need: cnetworkmanager -C yourSSID --SECURITY where SECURITY can be: --unprotected for an unprotected network --wep-pass=PASSWORD for WEP secured networks --wpa-pass=PASSWORD for WPA secured networks e.g. $cnetworkmanager -C mynetwork --wpa-pass=hqlo2547 Note that it doesn't support static IP adresses yet, that may be a problem. So I got out a network cable and plugged into my router. I can ping the router the router just fine (192.168.0.1) but as soon as I try to reach anything beyond that (ping www.google.com) I get an unknown host error. Why and how do I fix that ? cnetworkmanager shows eth0 to up activated. I have no clue about this though, I'm just happy when all lamps are blinking on my router ;) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

It didn't work. Fortunately my cabled connection did work and yum update fixed everything. I am now running F12 with zero problems.
