Ubuntu

I cannot connect to my school's network with 13.04(Raring Ringtail).

Asked by Benjamin Hughes

I cannot connect to my school's PA/WPA2-PSK Enterprise WiFi network with my HP Pavilion laptop running Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail. The laptop connects fine under Windows 7 and Ubuntu can connect to any other network I need. The school's network uses 8021x+PEAP encryption and requires a username and password to log on. I know the login is correct because4 I connect on Windows and on my phone. I have tried installing Diane Trout's wpasupplicant-gnutls program on here to fix it but it still won't connect. I enter the username and password and it tells me to enter it again. It does this multiple times until I give up. I've resorted to carrying a mobile WiFi card with me to school but it's not a convenient option, especially if I forget it. I'm hoping the problem will be fixed with the new distro this month but any ideas otherwise?

Your wifi has an IP. If you run:

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null

Then try the web, is it ok?
