Can't you mark your router as "hotspot"? There's a "Use as hotspot" option in the WIFI section, but I don't know how it works I never used it myself.

He connects a 4G dongle to a laptop and want to use laptop as a WiFi access point.

Ahhh....!

I am currently trying to do the same but it doesn't work either

I misunderstood. He said router and I thought it was an actual router.

Might be that not all wireless cards support that feature?

You know, a thing connected to ADSL

I know :)

Yota is a 4G/LTE operator in Russia

They don't have landlines

Doh... and we have to guess...

I took it as some kind of Russian brand.

Russian brand in networking is Eltex :P

So, question is how to make an Access Point mode working :)

Good question.... I'm pretty sure this is possible... I remember I did years ago... but with an OLPC laptop ? Maybe isn't a feature available to everyone? OLPC are intended to be use as hotspot among other things.

Access point till yesterday worked without problems. Just yesterday I reinstalled the OS

and now it has stopped working and I can not configure. Technical service operator has appealed. They said that everything is fine.

Just out of curiosity, why did you reinstall Fedora?

Yeah, well... they always say everything is fine.

Let's start with the basic... If you plug your dongle and you try to connect to internet... can you? Do you get online?

And to reinstall fedora 25 was just installed wine and after it was installed many windows programs, began glitches, I got tired and I just reinstalled. And just don't like anything extra.

I see...

modem to computer gives good Internet connection, the modem is working fine, the only thing he doesn't do wifi the rest. Through a router it also works fine, but I don't like using the router the Internet speed drops sharply.

Can you help? Can't configure the distribution of Wi-Fi router Yota connected directly to the laptop. Tried through the Network interface "to Make the access point" but just don't oktiviruetsya, nothing happens. Fedora 25 х86_64

@russianfedora

Thank you

This can be a hardware issue. I think not all laptops can be turned into hotspots. My suggestion would be searching your laptop model to see if does has this feature/capability or not.

hello, do you guys know how to increase the /

mine is almost full

With disks

Or gparted

Can ya?

hello, do you guys know how to increase the /

you kindof have to reinstall

you kindof have to reinstall

Seriously?

Seriously?

yep

but what are you doing?

The mint installation takes so long?

you kindof have to reinstall

Why so? Gparted can change partitions size

Why so? Gparted can change partitions size

but it also tends to wipe all that data

but it also tends to wipe all that data

?

Idk, Acronis then?

but it also tends to wipe all that data

No it doesn't

No it doesn't

does for me

Run lvs and vgs

on the terminal

show the output

if you're using lvm you probably have enough free space and can be resized

well i reinstalled it from scratch a while ago

because i swapped the kernel

bad idea

never do that

show the output

home fedora -wi-ao---- 8.35t root fedora -wi-ao---- 50.00g swap fedora -wi-ao---- 7.87g fedora 4 3 0 wz--n- 8.40t 0

wait you have 8.35 terabytes?

because i swapped the kernel

What? Swapping the kernel is something perectly normal, shouldn't cause any trouble unless you mangle grub

wait you have 8.35 terabytes?

hmm... yes

home fedora -wi-ao---- 8.35t root fedora -wi-ao---- 50.00g swap fedora -wi-ao---- 7.87g fedora 4 3 0 wz--n- 8.40t 0

Ok, do df -h /home

actually 12.35 T

you have 8 tb for home and 50g for /root

What? Swapping the kernel is something perectly normal, shouldn't cause any trouble unless you mangle grub

well see that is the thing i made my own homemade kernel which i swapped like completely

deleted my old kernel

by accident

If it has free space and it's not XFS which cannot be reduced maybe we can do something about it

ERROR: S client not available

Ok, do df -h /home

/dev/mapper/fedora-home 8.3T 4.0T 4.0T 50% /home

deleted my old kernel

Next time get a precompiled one

ok

Next time get a precompiled one

Or at least save a backup one

Next time get a precompiled one

i was gonna do this but i had a comp sci assignment due that day

like in 2 hours

/dev/mapper/fedora-home 8.3T 4.0T 4.0T 50% /home

ok

so i just reinstalled

run mount | grep home

let's see the filesystem you have

let's see the filesystem you have

/dev/mapper/fedora-home on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered)

nice

it's ext4

so it can be reduced

I haven't done this in a very long time so I have to check how to resize it

I haven't done this in a very long time so I have to check how to resize it

thanks

OK this is good, lvm does this now

first you have to umount the partition running umount /home/

This may not work if the partition is in use

which it's likely to be tryue

open VT

and log out of the x server one

This may not work if the partition is in use

shall I logout and use TTY3

yep

Yes that may work

I put /boot in another partition

if it doesn't the simplest is doing this from a live cd

So kernel it's not modified if I repartition /

It's a great practice

well here is One problem.....how to log out.....

I only see "Lock" button
