linux-backports-modules-cw-3.6-quantal-generic not installed by default in 64-bit version of Ubuntu 12.10 -> UNCLAIMED Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet [1969:1091] (rev 10) not working on ASUS M5A78L-M LX3 in 64-bit version of Ubuntu 12.10

Asked by john coia

On my new computer Ubuntu does not 'see' my network - so no internet. In Windows it works fine. I downloaded the driver for the video card (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.19 run) but when I try to install -I get 'permission denied'. Can you help. Do I need to be in'Root' and if so how to I get there? (I am an ignoramous in these matters)
motherboard ASUS M5A78L, processor AMD FX6200, video card NVIDIA GT520.

I suggest reading this:

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

Are you trying to use a wireless or wired Internet connection? Is the wired connection working or are both wired and wireless not working?

Please create a separate question for the video card issue here:

Please open a Terminal and send us the full Terminal output of these THREE commands:

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

ping -c 4 8.8.8.8

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; dmesg | egrep 'acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|brcm|CX|eth|ipw|ireless|irmware|isl|lbtf|orinoco|ndiswrapper|NPE|ound|p54|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3|rt5|rt6|rt7|usb|witch|wl';sudo dmidecode|egrep 'anufact|roduct|erial|elease'; iwconfig; cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep '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; sudo lsmod

That last command STARTS with the word sudo and ENDS with the word lsmod.

Agree with @Mark Rijckenberg.

It is better for you to open a new question (of change the description of this question - edit the question) about the Internet problem and do not forget to include some required command results. (for debugging proposes)

e.g

$ lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net

$ lsmod

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf

$ rfkill list all

If we manage to solve your problem with Internet , then it will be easy for you to install any graphics card driver.

Thanks

Ciao Mark,

I do not understand your suggestion:

Please use a webbrowser instead of an Email client and visit the
following page in order to copy-paste the correct commands:

I do not know how to do this.

You cant attach stuff to emails and expect us to see the answer. The forum throws away attachments and anything else it cant understand

click on this link https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+question/217052
A web browser such as firefox will open. You can copy and paste the results there.

Whatever you enter using the website we will see. Emails do not work very well since the contents of this forum must be pure text and any attachments or formatting may be lost.

Please provide the answers to Mark's commands

You used a different command than the one I gave you.

You used this command:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep rfkill; sudo lshw

However, I asked to run this one:

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; dmesg | egrep 'acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|brcm|CX|eth|ipw|ireless|irmware|isl|lbtf|orinoco|ndiswrapper|NPE|ound|p54|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3|rt5|rt6|rt7|usb|witch|wl';sudo dmidecode|egrep 'anufact|roduct|erial|elease'; iwconfig; cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep '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; sudo lsmod

The text formatting probably got lost because you copied from the Email message instead of using a webbrowser.

However, I EXPLICITLY asked you to use a webbrowser......

Sorry Mark, I hope this is better. The fact that I cannot get the internet at the moment in Ubuntu means that I have to keep changing OS.

You will need to download the following Ubuntu packages on a different machine that has a working Internet connection AND that is also running the 64-bit version (NOT the 32-bit version) of Ubuntu 12.10:

linux-headers-3.5.0-21-generic
linux-headers-lbm-3.5.0-21-generic
 linux-image-3.5.0-21-generic
linux-image-extra-3.5.0-21-generic
linux-backports-modules-cw-3.6-3.5.0-21-generic
 linux-backports-modules-cw-3.6-quantal-generic

Then copy those packages onto a USB stick.

Use this guide to help you install onto an offline computer:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware#Installing_packages_without_an_Internet_connection

Connect the USB stick to your ASUS M5A78L-M LX3 computer which does not have an Internet connection.

Copy the packages to /var/cache/apt/archives on the ASUS M5A78L-M LX3 computer which does not have an Internet connection

Then manually install those packages using

sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/<name of package>

where you replace <name of package> with actual name...

Then boot the linux-image-3.5.0-21-generic kernel.
