Simplifying, Solving and Innovating gives me the best high. And I get to do a plenty of it all at Innoraft - a software development company that I co-founded.
I love to laugh, have fun, travel, code, ride, cook, play, read, solve stuff, get in trouble, give surprises.. among other things.
I drool on software thats easy outside, powerful inside, and makes the process of creating software applications orgasmic. Think - all unix shells, vim, git, drupal, eclipse, ror, python, django, google app engine, apache, lighttpd, jquery and more.
I am here because - I have questions and I have answers and I find being able to ask and answer and meet new people VERY liberating and fun, and doing so makes me happy.

Cron works, but scheduled job to open webpage in chrome does not @Nanne, you are right. A friend of mine just got me the right answer for this on IM. All I need to do is prepend my command with export DISPLAY=:0 && in the cron. I have asked him to post the answer here so I can accept it and show gratitude by getting him karma-points :) |

After everything working fine for 4 days, cannot connect to internet on Ubuntu 11.10 on Dell Vostro 1550 Fishy things at work here. Tried what you suggested. Still no luck :( Added an UPDATE 2 to the original question. Even after dpkg-reconfigure I do not see anything at ps -e | grep dch. Only briefly, when the machine is trying to connect to wifi before showing the failed message, do I see a dhclient process, and that too with a pid that changes every 10 seconds. On colleagues computer though dhclient is running all the time. If you have more help I might try it, or will reinstall Ubuntu tonight. Huge thanks for trying to help. (Cant up vote all your comments yet. Needs 15 repo pts) |

After everything working fine for 4 days, cannot connect to internet on Ubuntu 11.10 on Dell Vostro 1550 Guess we are getting close. There is no dhclient line in my syslog. My college next seat has it. Looking up on what to do when dhclient does not fire. Let me know if you know it. Will post my answer if I make progress. And thanks again for patient hearing and help. |

After everything working fine for 4 days, cannot connect to internet on Ubuntu 11.10 on Dell Vostro 1550 I did less /var/log/syslog | grep -i dhcp to see if there is something out of place in there. I found the following. Failed to add IPv6 multicast route: Object not found. Tried relevant googling around. But still cant fix this :-/ |

After everything working fine for 4 days, cannot connect to internet on Ubuntu 11.10 on Dell Vostro 1550 Thanks for the response @Ruediger. I have updated the question with output of the commands that you indicated. From it I can clearly see the problem seems to be with DHCP. But I am not sure how to fix it :-/ |
