GOOD … ok reboot, don’t go into the webUI … just run the apt-get install command.

62

Started ok got to the part where I had to select [Y/n] I selected “Y” then a lot of error messages mainly “Temporary failure resolving 'ftp.debian.org”

63

OK, can you post the output from:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

and

ping -c 5 google.com
64

Sorry i cant get copy/paste to work in Putty I’ll need to work on that.

Hope a screenshot is ok

ping returned “unknown host google.com”

65

OK, run:

nano /etc/apt/sources.list

and REMOVE the line we added at the bottom.

Then find the line:-

deb Index of /debian/ squeeze main

and change it to

deb Index of /debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free

SAVE the file.

now run:

apt-get update

then

apt-get install firmware-atheros wpasupplicant

did that work ?

66

[Once again sorry about the screenshots but it’s the only way I can get outputs back to you, but I’ve increased the font, hope that makes it easier :slight_smile:

67

First did you remove the bottom line we added to sources.list ?

and secondly … do either of these pings work ?

ping -c 5 google.com

or

ping -c 5 173.194.34.135

?

68
First did you remove the bottom line we added to sources.list ?

No I never removed any lines

ping -c 5 google.com

Unknown host google.com

ping -c 5 173.194.34.135

7 packets transmitted 5 received

69
First did you remove the bottom line we added to sources.list ?

Just checked I missed that instruction I’ve removed it now sorry

70

Ok

Can you take a screenshot of:

cat /etc/network/interfaces
71

Screenshot attached

72

OK, run:

nano /etc/network/interfaces

and make it read:-

The loopback network interface

auto lo

The primary network interface

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.150
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.2.0
broadcast 192.168.2.255
gateway 192.168.2.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.2.1

SAVE the file … then REBOOT

then run:

apt-get update

then

apt-get install firmware-atheros wpasupplicant

did it work ?

73
sudo apt-get update

Just getting the same error messages as before, also I can’t ssh ( no route to host)

if you want to give it a break for tonight it’s ok with me :slight_smile:

74

ignore the last post

I couldn’t remember if I rebooted but I must have because I’m getting the same problem also I’m seeing a lot of error messages highlighted in red mostly relating to samba, I’m gonna check to see if I followed your instructions editing the /etc/network/interfaces file

75

huh ?

76

I double checked I edited the /etc/network/interfaces file and I did make a mistake I had dns-nameserver instead of dns-nameservers so I fixed that and rebooted but I’m having the same problems, there are quite a few error messages highlighted in red during boot mainly referring to NFS & Samba, I can’t log in via ssh (no route to host) and it still wont update and it wont log in to the Web GUI.

The problem seems to be worse since we edited the /etc/network/interfaces file

77

OK, edit it back to:-

# The loopback network interface
auto lo

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.2.150
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.2.1
    dns-nameservers 192.168.2.1

SAVE the file, and then REBOOT.

now does:-

apt-get update

then

apt-get install firmware-atheros wpasupplicant

work ?

78

It’s freezing on boot on line
Starting NFS common utilities: statd (flashing cursor)

79

damn it … have you got a livecd ?
