Internet not working after upgrad to 13.10

Asked by stefano callegari

Hello there,

After upgrading from 13.04 to 13.10, I can't connect anymore. I have an HP pavilion. It's strange because sometimes is telling me "no wireless networks found.", and sometimes is seeing the connections, but won't work. in network is telling me "THE SYSTEM NETWORK SERVICES ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THIS VERSION"

I don't know a lot about ubuntu, sorry. I just hope there are magic words to put in the terminal to resolve this problem!

Thank you very much!

Stefano

ps: some more details from LSPCI

Hi Stefano. First, I would try to start network-manager [1] manually. It is just one command. So please check it as a first method to try to solve your problem:

,-----[ start nm manually ]
| sudo service network-manager start
 `-----

Now, you will have to enter your user password (created during system installation etc). One more thing. There is a very interesting entry on askubuntu.com website [2]. You will find an interesting post about ralink RT3290 network controller, so maybe it will be helpful for you. Please, pay your attention on 'Solution for me:' notice added on the very end of article.

Best regards.

Hi Stefano. I think, that you didn't understand me :- ) Okay, no worry. As a first, I suggested you to try start manually network-manager via terminal. Please open terminal/console (you can find it on e.g. panel in Xfce Desktop Environment etc) or in... menu. So please open/start terminal and run;

sudo service network-manager start

You will be asked for a user password (please remember that, you will not see what you are typing - it's normal!). If it is about [1] and [2]: I just gave you some links to interesting web pages where - in my opinion - you should find very interesting informations.

Best regards.

Thanks Daniel,

I don't know a lot about ubuntu, but I get the terminal and the password thing :)
so the answer to sudo service network-manager start
is
network-manager: unrecognized service.

still browsering the interesting pages, but so far no solutions founded.

thanks again

Please Note: all advices are checked, but I cannot guarantee that there will be not any problems. WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY

Hi. Don't worry, I'm also a beginner with Ubuntu and Linux in general. Let go back to your problem. So what result of a command used to start network-manager tell us? Unrecognized service, right? It seems, that nm is not running or is not installed. Stefano could you check it? Just to be sure run:

,-----[ check for nm ]
| dpkg -l | grep network-manager
 `-----

In my case, result of a above command is: 4 (at this moment I'm using Xubuntu 12.04). Oh, please also check status of nm with "service network-manager status" command (without quotes!).

I think, that it is a driver problem rather than network-manager. So please check these webpages with solutions(?):

* http://rricketts.com/installing-ralink-rt3290-wireless-drivers-in-ubuntu-12-04/
* http://linuxforums.org.uk/index.php?topic=10422.0

ok, that's weird>

2 days ago I thought the problem resolved itself, because after putting strange words in the terminal, my wireless was working from work. but it's also 2 days that when I go back home, I am at the starting point. at first can see the connection, it connect but is not working, and after 2/3 time it just can't see the connections anymore and it's telling me: "THE SYSTEM NETWORK SERVICES ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THIS VERSION"

So now I am connected at work, so I can post the output of what you asked:

dpkg -l|grep network-manager

ii network-manager 0.9.8.0-0ubuntu22 amd64 network management framework (daemon and userspace tools)
ii network-manager-gnome 0.9.8.0-1ubuntu5 amd64 network management framework (GNOME frontend)
ii network-manager-pptp 0.9.8.2-1ubuntu2 amd64 network management framework (PPTP plugin core)
ii network-manager-pptp-gnome 0.9.8.2-1ubuntu2 amd64 network management framework (PPTP plugin GNOME GUI)

service network-manager status:

network-manager: unrecognized service

If I have to update something, I shall do it now with my connection working, because at home won't work.
and please believe me if I am telling you that the problem is obviously not my home connection! :)

this is something I am doing without understanding, like most of the time:

stefano@stefano-HP-Pavilion-Sleekbook-15-PC:~$ sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

Do you have a package manager running or updates installing. If so let them finish and close them. If not, run:

sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a

Reboot to test

The only supported releases of Ubuntu are the ones that are NOT End of Life (EOL) in the following table:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

Please first connect your network card to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable) and apply all updates.

In order to gather essential troubleshooting information about your wireless card, please follow this procedure:

Step 1

In the Ubuntu Terminal console , make sure that unlimited scrolling is enabled:

click on Edit > Profiles > "Default" profile > Scrolling. Choose "Unlimited" as scrolling option. Click Close and Close again.

Before Ubuntu 11.04 the default 'Desktop Environment' was Gnome. In 11.04 the Gnome interface (DE) is called 'Classic'. If you are using the Gnome interface, open the Terminal console via "Applications->Accessories->Terminal"

If you are using Ubuntu 11.04 and haven't changed back to "Classic" session then you are using the Unity interface. The easiest way to open the Terminal in UNity is to use the 'search' function on the dash. Or you can click on the 'More Apps' button, click on the 'See more results' by the installed section, and find it in that list of applications. A third way, available after you click on the 'More Apps' button, is to go to the search bar, and see that the far right end of it says 'All Applications'. You then click on that, and you'll see the full list. Then you can go to Accessories > Terminal after that.

So the methods in Unity are:

Press CTRL-ALT-T key combination.

Dash > Search for Terminal

Dash > More Apps > 'See More Results' > Terminal

Dash > More Apps > Accessories > Terminal

Step 2

Please copy-paste the following diagnostic command from the

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WirelessTroubleshootingProcedure

website using a web browser (like Google Chromium or Mozilla Firefox) into the Linux Terminal. The command STARTS with the word sudo and ENDS with the word lsmod. So please copy-paste the ENTIRE diagnostic command below from the web browser into a Terminal, press <enter>, then enter password when sudo asks for password, then press enter again.

Tip: If you have a wheel mouse or 3 button mouse you do not need to type commands into the Terminal. Highlight the diagnostic command written on the page. Move your cursor anywhere in the Terminal and press the wheel or middle button. Automatic Copy and paste! No spelling mistakes! No Typos! No other errors!

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep rfkill; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scan | egrep -i 'chan|ssid'; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net; lsusb; nmcli nm status; sudo lshw -short; uname -a; sudo updatedb; dmesg | egrep '02:00|80211|acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|brcm|CX|eth|ipw|ireless|irmware|isl|lbtf|orinoco|ndiswrapper|NPE|ound|p54|prism|rror|rtl|RTL|rt2|RT2|rt3|RT3|rt5|RT5|rt6|RT6|rt7|RT7|usb|witch|wl';sudo dmidecode|egrep 'anufact|roduct|erial|elease'; iwconfig; cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep '80211|acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|brcm|CX|eth|ipw|irmware|isl|lbtf|orinoco|ndiswrapper|NPE|p54|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3|rt6|rt7|wmi|witch|wl'; cat /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state; sudo hwinfo --netcard ; ps -aux|egrep 'wpa|icd|etwork'; netstat -rn ; cat /etc/resolv.conf; ls -lia /boot; grep tmpfs /etc/fstab; ubuntu-support-status; sudo lsmod

Step 3

Please do NOT attempt to send any attachment(s). Please copy/paste the full terminal output at this location:

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/238424

The troubleshooters at Launchpad need to see the full Terminal output from running the above diagnostic command.

Step 4

Please also specify the exact model and make of your PC (if known)

I think i did all the upgrades, and those magic words you gave are not working. :(
Qestion: as I've said, at work, in another location, I can see the connections. can it be because I've insert an ethernet cable EVEN IF I WASN'T ACUTALLY CONNECTING with wire? and the connection was working after taking the wire of

Mark: Now I am looking into this and I let you know.

Actually Mark, I have already found a problem with this:

Where I live there a wireless connection in all the building. So I don't have a phisical router in my flat. I can start looking for it in the building if you think it will resolve my problem.

Plus the really weird thing is this: sometimes even at home my wireless seems to read the connections available.
(I can see them in wicd network manager)
and I can even connect sometimes, but internet is not working anyway. and after few minutes network manager again loose all the wireless connections and it tells me: no wireless network found.

Did you try all the solution steps in your previous thread that you created in February, 2013?

The thread is here:

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/221247

If you follow all those steps one more time , but now in Ubuntu 13.10, shouldn't this issue be solved??

If the steps from the previous thread do not help, then maybe something went wrong during the upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10.

In that case, it would be recommended to perform a clean install of Ubuntu 13.10 and then follow the instructions here one more time:

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/221247

I have no further suggestions to make, because you cannot access the router using a wired/LAN connection.

stefano callegari (ary-arale) said : 		#14

might be the same problem?
I will try all that.
and if is still not working, I will have to install 13.10 again. :( with lots of new problems to post, probably!
Bloody HP

Thanks again, I will let you know!

Ok guys, as you saved me once, I am already feeling hopefull! :)

As you suggested I went trough all the step of my previous post. Downloading went well, but some things after it went wrong. to be more precise:

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git

and the answer was

fatal: destination path 'linux-firmware' already exists and is not an empty directory.

didn't read this command:

sudo cp linux-firmware/rt3290.bin /lib/firmware this is not working.

or this:

echo "options mac80211 probe_wait_ms=1000" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rt2800pci.conf > /dev/null

neither this 2, that might be what fixed it last time:

sudo modprobe -r rtl8192cu

sudo modprobe rtl8192cu swenc=1

but it's going better! now I can see the wifi connections from home too. but I am not be able to connect!

Do I have other choices before going through the difficult task (emotionally and technically) to re-install ubuntu?

ps: I add the output of the command you gave me last time.

THANKS

Do you get a positive response, when you try to ping Google's DNS server?

Please send us the output of this command while using the wireless connection:

ping -c 10 8.8.8.8

If the output shows 0% packet loss, then you only have to reconfigure the DNS settings to use DNS server 8.8.8.8 and the issue could be solved.

The problem and the weird thing is that at work I can connect (at the_balck_swan_hostel)
but at home now I can see the connection, which is better then our start point, sometimes I can even connect to it! but firefox and chrome are not working at all.

I've tried to do this ping -c 10 8.8.8.8 at home while it seemd connect and the answer was:

stefano@stefano-HP-Pavilion-Sleekbook-15-PC:~$ ping -c 10 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.1.60 icmp_seq=9 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.60 icmp_seq=10 Destination Host Unreachable

--- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 0 received, +2 errors, 100% packet loss, time 9072ms
pipe 2

I can try to do it at work as well, tonight, where I know the connection is working, if you need me to.

Thank you for you patient!

Ok then run:

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head > /dev/null

Reboot to test

2 probably stupid question.

1. Is this: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head > /dev/null
just a single command?
because after putting it, the system ask me for my password, but I have no output to this command.

2. do I have to be connected (so do I have to go to work) in order for this to work?

because I've tried at home, just now, I've restarted and internet worked for few second, I manage to connect to a website, and that's was about it.

Not sure what's happening, but it feels like we are getting closer.

Its all one command. You dont have to be online. You are adding a line to a text file.

ok, I thought so....
then as I've said, it's not changed a lot.

now I can see the connection in my building! sometimes I can even connect for few seconds.
but still not working.

any other suggestion?

Thank you again!

Guys don't let me alone with my ignorance! :)

So, now I am at work, and my interent is working. and that's strange.
at home looks like the problem I had in february, so I am doing this again:

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/221247

but at this command:

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git

something goes wrong:

fatal: destination path 'linux-firmware' already exists and is not an empty directory.

Might be this the reason?

and to this commands:

echo "options mac80211 probe_wait_ms=1000" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rt2800pci.conf > /dev/null

sudo modprobe -r rtl8192cu

sudo modprobe rtl8192cu swenc=1

I have no output. and those last commands are the one that might have worked last time!

Thank you again!

Hello,

yesterday I did this:

    Actualizar Kernel de Ubuntu 12.04 - 12.10 a la versión 3.8

    Desde un terminal escribir lo siguiente:

    cd /tmp
    wget http://www.rafaelsantos.es/pdi/linux-kernel-3.8.sh
    chmod +x linux-kernel-3.8.sh
    sudo sh linux-kernel-3.8.sh
    sudo reboot

nothing changed....

Hello everyone...

I resolved the problem.
Now I will tell how, but after I hope someone will tell me why.

I've installed ubunu 12.04 in another partition.

Well, basically that's it! I didn't do anything else.

The fanny part is that internet is not even working in the other partition. so I've came back here. and here now is working.

I will restart the pc and I hope to be online next time too.
