Where do I find a package  [Solved]

#1 Post by doguito »

Hy guys, I have uninstalled NetworkManager, and can not connect to internet, is there some server where I can download only this package for my Mx Linux 19 - Patito Feo? Thanks in advance.

You need:

network-manager-gnome
network-manager-openconnect-gnome
network-manager-openconnect
network-manager-openvpn-gnome
network-manager-openvpn
network-manager-pptp
network-manager-vpnc
network-manager

But, rather than searching / picking one by one, here's the simplest: Live-session


If you can prepare an MX19 or 21 live usb (that can also be your previous snapshot iso created when internet was ok) :


Either download with:

Code: Select all

apt download network-manager-gnome network-manager-openconnect-gnome network-manager-openconnect network-manager-openvpn-gnome network-manager-openvpn network-manager-pptp network-manager-vpnc network-manager
Or even simpler: Once you're connected to internet on live session:

Menu => "Chroot Rescue Scan" ...

Proceed (it'll chroot to your installed MX19)

issue:

Code: Select all

mx-packageinstaller
install them all.
__________________________________

Or, in that chroot terminal, directly:

Code: Select all

apt install network-manager-gnome network-manager-openconnect-gnome network-manager-openconnect network-manager-openvpn-gnome network-manager-openvpn network-manager-pptp network-manager-vpnc network-manager -y

The problem is that I do not have any program to manage connection so I have to download from windows to pen-drive and then install with "sudo dpkg -i package.deb". I will try to find those packages on the repo. Thanks!

Yes, but, I mean, if you already have ; or can download (on Windows) any MX / antiX iso, you can prepare a live usb (even on Windows with Rufus) and network will be working on live session.

Meanwhile, you can simply click the downloaded files to install, or gather them all in a folder, then "open terminal here", finally:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Problem solved in this way: enable bluetooth tethering on android phone to share phone's internet connection, enable bluetooth on my MX linux, connect to android phone and eh voilá, I updated packages with "apt update" and install again "Network Manager", wifi working again. Thanks friends,I have MX 19, and I will stay with it for a time, or do you think does it worths to update to MX 21? Thanks!
