Wireless only in "always fresh"

[sim]

Hello! My problem is simple.

In "always fresh" mode Porteus runs as it should.

In standard LXDE mode, there is no wireless connection - when clicking the icon of Internet connection, in wireless section there is a label "device is not ready". When activating pns-tool/xpns-tool via terminal, wifi manager does not show any devices as well.

The hardware is netbook Asus EEE with Windows XP, I boot Porteus from pendrive, ext2 file system, produced under Linux Mint.

Thanks for help!

Cześć sim!
Rename your changes folder to changes-old and try again in standard LXDE mode.

perhaps this:

Code: Select all

nonetwork

   ... This boot parameter will prevent Porteus from automatically
       establishing a network connection on start-up.
       Note that this cheatcode makes some modifications to
       your system which must be manually restored, so it is
       recommended that you only use this cheatcode in "Always
       Fresh" mode. If you've ignored this advice and need to
       recover your network connection, please run the following:

       chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager
       sed -i 's/Hidden=true//g' /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop

Thanks, but both solution did not work.

In the second one terminal displayed "no such directory or folder" message...

In "always fresh" mode Porteus runs as it should.

This means in the other mode you have made a modification that prevents it from working as it should.

In the second one terminal displayed "no such directory or folder" message...

Please be more specific. What is 'the second one'? If these files or folders don't exist then something is wrong with your installation.

Finally, please boot into the non working mode and use the Porteus Settings Centre to generate a system information dump. Save it somewhere, boot into fresh mode and upload it to pastebin and post the link here.

I didn't do any changes - it was first start.

As for second solution: I put suggested line in terminal

Code: Select all

  chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager

and received mentioned message.

maybe you deleted those scripts or some other important files? please provide mentioned xpsinfo report and show me the output of:

Code: Select all

find /mnt/live/memory/changes -name ".wh.*"

this command will show us the files which have been deleted from core modules.
thanks

Code: Select all

/mnt/live/memory/changes/.wh..wh.plnk
/mnt/live/memory/changes/.wh..wh.orph
/mnt/live/memory/changes/.wh..wh.aufs

Are you connected to power supply and have activated proper modules like in always fresh mode?

Another suggestion that usually does the trick with wifi pns-tool. In command line issue the following command:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# pns-tool
