CentOS-7 mounting ntfs /and access wifi

[nemesl]

Hi Trevor

I have tried to carry out the linux instructions by rebooting to linux and using the terminal (but I am not sure it was carried out OK although the system reported info on my system). Do I somehow have to carry out these commands from within the forum topic??? Incidentally lsus.py was not accepted.

lspci -nn (vertical line) grep -i net lsus.py

Does this post my configuration? If not how do I report it to you??? And do I have to start a new topic or new thread? How to do the later?

HELLO!!!!

I have repeated the above commands and in this case I could save the reports in CentOS-7 my Documents. But how to post these documents from within CentOS-7?

I don't know what kind of instructions you are following.
Can you use a USB stick to transfer the output?
Also 'lspci -vvv' is a good one.

If you know your PC's hardware spec - that can be used also.
For mounting ntfs filesytem you need the 'ntfs-3g' package and all it' dependencies. As you don't have connectivity - you should focus on that.

lspci -nn (vertical line) grep -i net lsus.py

It's 2 commands

lspci -nn | grep -i net
lsusb.py

Hi Hunter86.bg

How to imply all dependencies of ntfs-3g?

Hi Trevor,

I used the lspci -nn | grep -i net command and got the result:

03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200] ; Realtek Semiconductor Co.Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Controller[ 10ec:8168] (rev 06)

I also attach the systen report

Are these satisfactory to find out how to use my wifi connection and how to mount ntfs partitions on my harddisk?

Hi Hunter86.bg

How to imply all dependencies of ntfs-3g?

Yum can take care of the dependencies:

Code: Select all

yum -y install epel-release
yum -y install ntfs-3g

HI Hunter86_bg

Can you also help me how to connect from CentOS-7 to my wifi network?

[nemesl]

Hi Hunter86_bg

I have abandoned my efforts to connect to my WiFi, but would still like to mount my hard disk drive. When I try to install epel by using

yum install epel -release

and

yum -y install ntfs-3g

the system tells me I have to be root (superuser)

how do I change myself from user to root?

[nemesl]

I have found out how to change to superuser (root) so now I could use the epel repository command.
However this was unsuccessful as obviously the mirrors can only be reached when I can use my wifi.
So wifi use is unavoidable.
Please, please help me how to open my wifi network. I tried so far in vain. It appears that CentOS-7 is not made for the individual user with a desktop or a laptop. Expert advice is needed.

[hunter86_bg]

It would be better if you could connect to a wired connectivity.
Then you will be able to install the epel release. Otherwise you can use another PC and a USB stick to transfer the packages.

Once you got access to internet , you can get a newer version of the kernel which most probably will allow you to use your wifi.

So, still run as root:

Code: Select all

lspci -nn | grep -i net
lspci -vvv

In order to find out if your wifi is actually detected. NetworkManager does not start the interfaces by default , which means that you have to enable them during the configuration step.

P.S.: CentOS is a rebuilt of the Red Hat with all the proprietary stuff removed . RHEL is a more server oriented than a desktop/laptop oriented , thus you experience such issues at the first place.
