Troubleshoot Network Manager, Apache, Wireless... in Linux

Today's Blog is all about networking stuffs and I will be covering following points:

1. Know your Network Controller Device with lspci
2. Display all interfaces which are currently available, even if down with ifconfig
3. Enable the service networking 
4. Enable Apache server
5. Then Enable Network Manager with network-manager
6. Then  Enable your WiFi with nmcli nm

AND REMEMBER ALL THESE THINGS WILL BE DONE WITH OUR TERMINAL THIS IS WHY LINUX IS SO COOL...

Then we are all set to run the internet.And now we are some basic troubleshooter about networking, though networking is a huge this would be the first step. Not actually first first step in networking is always theory The Basics of Networking, but we are not dealing with it today. So lets begin

1. In order to know  the hardware devices assembled in your laptop open your TERMINALCTRL+ALT+T and then type lspci .

This displays all the hardware devices  like PCI BRIDGE, SATA controller, SMBus, USB Controller, Audio Device assembled in your laptop / computer. 

My Network controller is:

02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)

2. So now we need to know the interfaces that are available in our UBUNTU.  To see this typeifconfig in the terminal and you will see the output like this :

3. To access the internet first your hardware device should be activated, In order to do so type 

sudo service networking  and press tab twice which displays  arguments like:

 force-reload       reload        restart       start         stop

Perform any you need.

4.  To enable apache server in terminal type:

      sudo service apache2 start

5.  Now enable the network manager. In order to do so in terminal type:

    

     sudo service network-manager start 

6. Now First view the available connecting points Wireless point or Ethernet. To view the available wifi points in terminal type

    

     sudo nmcli con list

This displays the available devices With its UID and SSID.

Now to enable the wifi in terminal type:

      Sudo nmcli con up SSID or the UID

You can manipulate these basic networking commands and  triubleshoot on your own.
