Ethernet plugged in but there is no internet. I have no idea what happened. I just took a normal update like I always do and after that it was all gone. WiFi connects no problem, but there is no internet. Unplugged Ethernet and replugged it back in. Nothing. I dualboot with windows, internet works fine there, so there is no hardware issue. Went into a live environment and chrooted into it and reinstalled network manager and still not a fucking thing. Not sure what these are now. I know about the lo one, but never seen the second wired connection or the virbr0. Any idea how to get my Internet back? I really don’t want to reinstall the system because of this. And btw, I even tried a hotspot from my phone and a wire tether from it and still no internet.
System is endeavour OS with KDE on Wayland.
I lost internet after update. I had to
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
It then worked for me. Hope this fixes your issue too.
Nope. I tried that and it didn’t. I’m so fucking confused as to what the hell just happened.
Sorry that’s all I got. Hope someone that is better at networking comes along, also maybe ask in a sysadmin or networking page just to give your issue a bit more exposure to the knowledgeable peoples of Lemmy.
I appreciate you trying. No worries. I’ve asked even on the endeavour OS forums. Still awaiting replies.
I’m not familiar with EndeavourOS, but I’ll ask a few questions to get the troubleshooting process started:
With the ethernet cable plugged in, can you access your local router config page (if you have one)? e.g.: 192.168.1.1. If not, what happens when you ping the router’s address in the terminal?
If you’re able to successfully ping/access your router, can you ping a well-known IP address such as 8.8.8.8 (google DNS) or 1.1.1.1 (cloudflare DNS)?
I can ping my gateway, nameserver, Google DNS 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1, but it freezes on 4.4.4.4. I even get really good latency, too
No one can ping 4.4.4.4, it doesn’t answer pings.
This seems like a dns issue, check cat /etc/resolv.conf and try setting the dns server in Networkmanager to “8.8.8.8”.
Virb indicates a virtual driver. Are you running this Linux in a VM? Do you VM software installed. I think you may have installed the vmtools and it messed with your physical Ethernet. Virb is showing connected what do you get with an ip a? Does it show all the devices? Do any of them have an ip address?
I run Linux on hardware, not a VM. And I do have VMware installed but I have no VMs set up at all. I can delete them all if that helps fix the issue. I don’t use them much anyway.
Your reply doesn’t make much sense. You say you have VMware but no VMS but you can delete them. I am not sire if you have them but they are not going to affect the host. I would remove the vmtools package from your computer/host reboot and see if it clears up the issue
You did not respond you request for an IP a to see if the devices are listed and whether they have an IP address.
That’s why I don’t use rolling releases (except debian-testing, which is actually stable). Because these kinds of things are bound to happen 1-5 times a year.
