Subject:  wireles /wpa_supplicant - where to start?
Message-ID:  <slrnfi1hpv.6dp.tyler.smith@blackbart.mynetwork>



Hi,



I'm trying to set myself up on my University's wireless network. I can
successfully connect to my home wireless using:



iwconfig ath0 key 676bd87bc0dd5315f1cd8de794
dhclient ath0


Do you need help?X

and to unencrypted public access points using:



ifconfig ath0 down


iwconfig ath0 key off


ifconfig ath0 up


iwconfig ath0 ap any


dhclient ath0



However, my University uses WPA, TKIP, PEAP and EAP-MSCHAP v2. I was
advised to try network manager, but I couldn't get either
network-manager-gnome or kdenetwork-manager to work on my laptop
running fluxbox. network-manager-gnome reported that network manager
wasn't running even when it was, and kdenetwork-manager reported that
it could not find any network devices.



I couldn't figure this out, so I removed network manager et al and
installed wpa_supplicant. I read the man page, and wrote the following
wpa_supplicant.conf script:



ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant


ctrl_interface_group=tyler



network={


    ssid="SMU_PUBLIC"


    key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X NONE


    pairwise=TKIP


    eap=MSCHAPV2 PEAP


    identity="my-university-user-name"


    password="my-university-password"


}



I've attached the error message for this below. At this point I have
no idea what to do. I don't know if the problem is the
wpa_supplicant.conf, my wireless driver (madwifi), something needed in
interfaces? If anyone can point me in the right direction that would
be great.


Do you need more help?X

Thanks,



Tyler

When I configure apt.conf.d/proxy, then things work...  I use apt-get
and aptitude with sudo as a non root user.  Might be the the
environment variables are lost with sudo?  I don't recall if when I
used apt-get with the environment variables I did it so under root and
not with sudo.  I can't tell...  I'd prefer using environment
variables, just to avoid overwriting configuration file every time...

I am using Debian testing.  Is it possible to set Alpine up to use Maildi=

instead of mbox style mailboxes?  If not, I guess I can connect to the

I'm no expert, but since you have no replies...  Why not play it safe,
shutdown the system.  Reboot with a rescue CD or knoppix to examine the
system safely.  For example, if you've been rooted, all the executables
would be suspect, thus leading you to not see the 18 GB.

Keep us posted.

Thank you.  I noticed it said that a Maildir patch exists for the Pine
package on Debian.  I did a search on packages.debian.org and did not see
Pine listed.  Is that still a package that is available?

Thanks,

Pine itself has to be built from source due to an abnoxious license.

Thanks Keith!  Unfortunately, this machine uses Lilo instead of Grub.  
Can something similar be done to enter 'single user mode' when booting   
using Lilo?
-- Mark



I don't have a machine with LILO on it to test with, but, try the word "single" at the LILO: prompt, e.g.

        LILO: single

Press RETURN. This should bring it to single user mode, no guarantees, since I can't test.

Hi

I am trying to make a smooth transition fom windows to Debian in my work PC.

I needed to be sure that not having win on this machine wouldn't affect
my work, since unfortunatelly we use many windows-based applications.
For that, I thought of first installing a proof-of-concept Debian inside
a VM. This way, I could go on installing Debian and all the tools I
needed without having to break my workflow.

Since I wanted to make the move from MS to freedom, before I started
with the adventure, I freed space in my HD and told the VM to use my
physical disk instead of creating a virtual one. At the moment, I have a
fully working Debian Lenny that runs smoothly inside the VM.

The current situation is as follows:

When I boot the PC, I am presented with a GRUB menu with three options:
Debian's stock kernel, the same kernel but single-user, and Windows.
Currently, I am only able to boot Windows. After doing that, When I boot
the VM, I get the same GRUB menu and can boot Debian without a problem.

The problem is when I want to boot Debian directly on the PC and not
inside the VM. The boot process starts normally, but then hangs. The
last lines that appear in the boot are:

Begin: Mounting root file system... ...
Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ...
Done.
Begin: Waiting for root file system... ...

And from there, I can only Control-Alt-Delete or do a cold reset.

The machine is a Dell Optiplex GX280 P4-HT with 2GB RAM and a 80Gb IDE HD.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Cassiano Leal
