[SOLVED] LM13 Cinnamon no longer connects to the Internet...
Hi.
I installed LM13 Cinnamon and all was fine. Then suddebly (may have been on a reboot/startup) - it wont connect to the internet. The wireless is fine and it can connect to the router but cannot go beyond that - I get the 'Server not found' error in Firefox. I have another PC that connects to the internet with no problems.
I tried these so far with no joy:
* reset router
* disable both router and OS firewalls
I am perplexed.

Re: Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon no longer connects to the Interne
After trying many more options, I found the solution.
This file was not available: /etc/resolv.conf
I created it and added the google DNS servers like so:
What was the cause of this files omission?
Also I ran ipconfig and got this (I put xxx in place of the MAC addresses):
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xxx
...
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xxx
Should the part 'wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xxx' say 'wlan0 Link encap:wireless HWaddr xxx' or something similar?
This file was not available: /etc/resolv.conf
I created it and added the google DNS servers like so:
Code: Select all
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xxx
...
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xxx

Re: Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon no longer connects to the Interne
It seems that there is no resolv.conf file anymore ..
Actually the command is ifconfig, not ipconfig.

Re: Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon no longer connects to the Interne
Actually there is a resolv.conf, however there is a bug with Mint 13 where the package "resolvconf" does not create the file after install
running
Will cause resolvconf to create the file as expected.
There is a bug on launch pad about this
running
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf

Thanks for correcting it. I use ipconfig in an alias so it accepts both ifconfig and ipconfig.oobetimer wrote:It seems that there is no resolv.conf file anymore ..

Re: Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon no longer connects to the Interne
No problem, glad you are sorted
Re: Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon no longer connects to the Interne
Hi
I have the same problem.
I tried to solve it with the dpkg commad first. The result is a nameserver in the resolv.conf but it still didn't work.
Then I tried the link. I edited it but it still won't work. And the possibility to lock the configuration doesn't work to. It says: " the operation was not supported"
Can someone help me?

Re: Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon no longer connects to the Interne
Today I connected to my WLan in the university and the DNS Server was found automatically.
Maybe it has something to do with my router.

Re: Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon no longer connects to the Interne
Quite interesting problem. It seems that using DNS is only a problem with direct Wlan connection to my router. I'm using USb thethering from an Android device atm to connect to my Wlan and it works just fine.
Still no one has an idea?

Re: Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon no longer connects to the Interne
what does the resolv.conf look like?
Additionally you can attempt to remove dnsmasq from network manager:
and comment out this line:
restart network manager
I had to do this to get Mint/Ubuntu to actually resolve with local dns.... for example if I pinged my laptop it would actually resolve to my external IP provided by my ISP instead of my 192 ip
Additionally you can attempt to remove dnsmasq from network manager:
Code: Select all
gksudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
Code: Select all
dns=dnsmasq
Code: Select all
sudo restart network-manager
Re: Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon no longer connects to the Interne
Very strange
my resolve.conf is gone. Its not where it would be ecpected and you even can't find it with the search.
Whn I last have seen it there was a nameserver with 127.0.0.1 or something like that.
I tried the thing with the Network manager but it didn't solve the problem.

Re: Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon no longer connects to the Interne
ok if resolv.conf is gone, that means the package "resolvconf" is having problems again or the network card itself is flaky.
You can try having resolvconf recreate the file for you
(sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf) or you can create the file yourself.

Re: Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon no longer connects to the Interne
Ill try but shouldn't it stop working with all internet connections? I still could open websites using USb tethering
Re: Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon no longer connects to the Interne
resolv.conf is here again:
Code: Select all
#Dynamik resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver (3) generated by resolveconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 127.0.0.1
search localdomains
Re: Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon no longer connects to the Interne
Well I would definitely try putting the
nameserver 8.8.8.8
at the top of the resolv.conf and try re-running the updates again

Re: Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon no longer connects to the Interne
How can I change the resolv.conf without having it automatically change back?
Re: Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon no longer connects to the Interne
Well everything that I have read says to put your changes in
/etc/resolvconf/resolvconf.d/head
then run
In my tests this works, although I am not sure why that file has a disclaimer about not editing it by hand
/etc/resolvconf/resolvconf.d/head
then run
Code: Select all
sudo resolvconf -u
Re: Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon no longer connects to the Interne
Thanks you so far
I edited it and it isnt deleted anymore. The resolv.conf looks as i think it should but the problem hasn't changed.
I tried to restart Network Manager and restarted the whole computer too but if you want to open a website he still says "Couldn't find .... DNS search failed...." [Just a short from ]
