wi-fi crash and available space
- Login o registrati per inviare commenti
Hi,
First, i would want to fix a problem of free space in the root field.
I get a message which said that 0ko are available in the main field (roots field) i guess.
But my computer has 120GO and its a new installation. i just make the commons upgrades after the installation of the OS (i delete Windows, i think)
My other problem comes from the WI-fi. I m working with network manager gnome i guess.
This tool said to me that my Box internet is out of reach. In fact, the connection wi-fi works with my others devices ...
TY in advance
You can start with the execution of this command in a terminal:
$ sudo apt-get clean
It removes the deb packages that were downloaded (and that would only be necessary in the future if they had to be reinstalled). Then, you can remove, e.g., with the "Synaptic Package Manager" (in the "System Settings"), the older kernels: the packages "linux-image-*", "linux-image-extra-*", "linux-headers-*, etc. Just keep the latest kernel (with the highest version number) and, maybe, the one before that if you are unsure whether the latest version properly drives all your hardware.
You can also consider the removal of programs that occupy much space. Typically video games.
But show us the output of this command too:
$ df -h
If you chose too little space for the root partition, you would have to expand it, probably at the detriment of /home... which has, by default in Trisquel, a filesystem that cannot be shrunk, i.e., you would need to backup /home first so that /home can be deleted, / expanded and /home recreated (and the respective line in /etc/fstab edited accordingly). But, you certainly are a serious user who does regular backups anyway, aren't you?
As for the Wifi, does it work when you are close to the hotspot? If not, it probably is not supported by Trisquel's kernel, which does not include any proprietary software (including firmware that Wifi chipsets increasingly require).
Hi,
and TY for aswering me.
sudo apt-get clean don't seem to work, nothing appeared after i entered the command
Sys. de fichiers Taille Utilisé Dispo Uti% Monté sur
udev 1,5G 4,0K 1,5G 1% /dev
tmpfs 301M 1,1M 300M 1% /run
/dev/sda1 19G 17G 394M 98% /
none 4,0K 0 4,0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
none 5,0M 0 5,0M 0% /run/lock
none 1,5G 328K 1,5G 1% /run/shm

/dev/sda6 91G 193M 91G 1% /home
overflow 1,0M 4,0K 1020K 1% /tmp
lets see for the wi-fi later, i get the connection by ethernet with a cable..

"linux-headers-*, etc. Just keep the latest kernel (with the highest version

hardware is properly driven buy the latest version.

probably is not supported by Trisquel's kernel, which does not include any

require).
When a command does not output anything, it means it works. You now have 394M of free space in the root partition.
Too little. So, like I explained, first remove unnecessary kernels. If it is not enough, you can either remove some of the most disk-demanding applications such as video games or enter a complicated process to enlarge the root partition, taking space over the /home partition. Like I explained, it is "complicated" because, unless you change the installer's defaults, your /home is in an XFS filesystem, which cannot be shrunk.
If you go the latter path, we can help you.
For the WiFi problem, run:
$ dmesg | grep -i firmware
What is the output?
hi,
it seems that the firmware is not registred with this OS..
22
[ 4610.931144] 0000:06:00.0: Missing Free firmware
[ 4610.931162] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: Direct firmware load failed with error -2
[ 4610.933090] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: /*(DEBLOBBED)*/ firmware file req failed: -
Can i fix that ?
ty in advance

There's no free firmware for that chip. However, you can get a wireless adapter that has free firmware. Thinkpenguin and Tehnoetic sell such an adapter and are certified by the FSF, and you can also get these elsewhere. Look for an AR9271 or AR7010-based one.
The default install makes quite a small root partition. If you haven't done too much with your install yet, you might consider re-installing with either one partition or root+home with a large enough root. One partition is easier with regards to space management but on the other hand if you have a separate home it's easier to do re-installs or clean new version installs preserving the home partition...
It's a new installation and i just upload the differents upgrates after installing Triskel with the ISO from the website.
I send to u this command :
Sys. de fichiers Taille Utilisé Dispo Uti% Monté sur
udev 1,5G 4,0K 1,5G 1% /dev
tmpfs 301M 1,1M 300M 1% /run
/dev/sda1 19G 17G 394M 98% /
none 4,0K 0 4,0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
none 5,0M 0 5,0M 0% /run/lock
none 1,5G 328K 1,5G 1% /run/shm
none 100M 24K 100M 1% /run/user
/dev/sda6 91G 193M 91G 1% /home
overflow 1,0M 4,0K 1020K 1% /tmp
when i turn on the computer Triskel propose to me 2 options : start the OS or change the options (something like that).
is the way to modify the part of each partition like u tried to explain to me ?
TY
