Re: [LUG] Xubuntu - clearing network configurations and starting again?

 

Cheers. I'm guessing an update happened during the time the machine was on and the new modules-extra bits were missing. Couldnt make head nor tail of what was going on but a new kernel etc arrived today and re-booted into almost everything working again. Currently FF cannot print - all goes well and then the job just disappears! Can print test pages and from the same PDF saved and viewed in atril. Its the house machine and all busy now due to lockdown (or whatever) announcements from schools so I'll leave it for now!

We had a power cut at the weekend and a machine that was running at the time has gone wonky. The network manager in the panel can no longer see the wifi. It shows up under*ifconfig*  but is invisible to *iplink set* . I've got it working on 30m of cat5 at the moment but cant get the bloody wifi to show and cant find any documentation that can tell me which yaml or whatever file I need to fix so wondered if I could somehow purge the files or something. I've tried adding USB wifi and that appears in ifconfig but something in the goddamn systemd setup is preventing it actually working

Any clues anyone

Happy New Year and all that

Can you start it in an old kernel?
My Ubuntu did this for a while - whenever it received a new kernel update (and then after the next reboot when that kernel was loaded), it would lose the network connections. If I remember correctly, the modules-extra components were not being updated automatically by APT, so I had to do it manually until I upgraded to 20.10.

I used

dpkg -l linux-* | grep ii

to show me the components I had available.
