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.
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.
I don’t know who downvoted you, but I agree with you. I’ve used Debian before and loved it, but I have been using arch for so long that I can’t use anything else anymore. I just can’t even if I tried. This is where I’m most comfortable.
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.
What I was saying is that I’m not running Linux in a VM.
I do have virtual box installed
I can delete virtual box if that helps
It doesn’t matter now, I had to reinstall. I got tired of working on it and said fuck it. Thanks for your help
Hey man I have no idea if it is the same, I’m a noon, but I had issues with a kernel update recently with my Debian home server and lost Ethernet too. I couldn’t fix but I reverted the kernel update and voila my ethernet started working again. If this bothers you and like me you don’t have much knowledge years you could try that .
I appreciate you. No worries. I already tried reverting the kernel. Still didn’t work. They pushed a firmware update and it fucked shit up.
