I've tried both 'ifconfig' and 'ip link set', with 'wlan0' and 'eth1', and both said 'no such device'. So I think it's still a wifi power switch thing.

But it is in a touch panel, so I cannot switch it on manually. And I wonder whether your wifi switch is in a touch panel or a seperate button? Thanks!

[arch-general] Character encoding on new install
by Tim Stella 25 Feb '12

25 Feb '12

Hello! I seem to have an issue with my character encoding in a new arch install. Here [0] [1] are a couple screenshots. I have locales set correctly in /etc/locale.gen: en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_US ISO-8859-1 and according to 'locale', all my variables seem to be in order: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= It happens in terminals (sakura, urxvt, xterm) and also in firefox for some characters. I'm at a loss for where to go on this, any ideas? Thanks! Tim [0] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3232776/mc-encoding.png [1] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3232776/encoding.png

[arch-general] Default route not restored (deleted?) after VPN - Juniper Network Connect
by Qadri 25 Feb '12

25 Feb '12

Hi all, I've regularly used a VPN to access my school network. I use Juniper ncsvc to connect. It is worked into a script such that I can just call it, and then C-c to stop the VPN. Previously, the default route would be restored after I killed the VPN connection, so I could close the vpn connection and resume my internet use without thought. Now, I need to restart networkmanager (or that's the quickest/dumbest way I could mindlessly think of) to restore the connection (see output below). What has changed this behavior, and what methods can I take to getting the old behavior back? Thanks, MAQ. #Output #Note that echos indicate events that took place in another terminal $ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0 $ echo "Start VPN" Start VPN $ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 123.45.67.89 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 tun0 default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 10 0 0 wlan0 vpn.school.edu 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 1 0 0 wlan0 192.168.1.0 123.45.67.89 255.255.255.0 UG 1 0 0 tun0 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 10 0 0 wlan0 192.168.1.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 1 0 0 wlan0 $ echo "Stop VPN" Stop VPN $ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0 $ echo "Restart networkmanager" Restart networkmanager $ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 303 0 0 wlan0 $ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0 $

[arch-general] mplayer steals system sound
by Thorsten 25 Feb '12

25 Feb '12

Hi list, my system-sound (alsa) was working, until I installed mplayer. Now mplayer is working - but system-sound is gone. No way to regulate volume in alsamixer, it seems mplayer has occupied the system. How can I use mplayer _and_ have sound for youtube etc again? Thanks for any tips. cheers -- Thorsten

[arch-general] Ways to power on broadcom bcm4311 wireless adaptor without booting into windows
by mercator 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Hi guys, After switching from Linux Mint to Archlinux, my wireless card refused to show up in lspci. It DOES worked fine under Linux Mint, but .... Below is my output of 'lspci -vnn |grep Broadcom' : 10:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02) My laptop is hp 6515b, with a touch panel for the toggle of wifi on/off etc. After a search in google I found the problem may be that the power of wifi has been shut down, and solution is to boot into windows and turn wifi on, because the touch panel will not work under Linux (as far as I know), And the I found a software named rfkill, hoping it will work. 'rfkill list' out put as follows : 0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: yes After 'rfkill unblock all', I get: 0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes And still no wireless card detected. So my question is, is there any way to power the wifi on without booting into windows? (in fact, windows has diappeared from my laptop for 3 years, and there is no partition on my harddisk supporting windows install).

[arch-general] /var/log/btmp empty
by gt 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Hello folks My failed login attempts aren't being recorded, and lastb shows no output. The permissions are correct: -rw------- 1 root root 0 Nov 15 06:39 /var/log/btmp Reading a previous message on the mailing list, i tried setting FTMP_FILE /var/log/btmp in /etc/login.defs. But this gives the following error (right after typing the username on a tty): configuration error - unknown item 'FTMP_FILE' (notify administrator) So two questions: 1. Why isn't the option being recognised, even though it is present in the man page for login.defs? 2. How do i enable logging to /var/log/btmp? -- O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org

Hi Vladimir, In fact I've tried 'lspci -vnn | grep 14e4' before, and this is the output, JUST one row: 10:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:1693] (rev 02) If I just type 'lspci' I will not find anything related to wireless card either. About the kubuntu thing, did you mean this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1349025 I've read it before open this thread. My problem is just the same as that of stark222000: it's wifi card CANNOT be powered on, not that driver thing listed in archwiki or linux wireless. He solved it through booting into windows. But I don't have windows installed and I don't want to install it anymore. So I opened this thread as 'how to power on my wifi card' instead of 'my wifi card dose not work', which will of course be classified as a driver issue. And if I missed anything after my explanation, plz let me know. Thanks!
