Ubuntu Networking :: No Internet After Upgrade
May 23, 2011I'm a pretty new ubuntu user and I've just upgraded from 10.10. It seems to be working pretty well, except that I can't figure out how to connect to the Internet.

View 2 RepliesI've just upgraded from Ubuntu 8.4 to 10.4 and suddenly no internet access, but I'm able to ping as above. I've been using Ubuntu for about a year now but don't know it all that well "under the hood" so don't know where to start looking for a solution.
View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu 10.10 offered me a partial upgrade, so I clicked to install the updates. No problem, everything went fine.
Then the next time I boot ubuntu, internet doesn't work. The loopback interface is active, but the ethernet interface is not.
I've googeled for a solution, but can't find any.
This is the second time in 1.5 week. The first time I rebooted ten times or so and internet just suddenly worked again.
I've just upgraded to 11.04 on my new desktop and I'm using a wired ethernet connection. My web browsers have stopped working (Chromium and Firefox) but my networking is working because I can still run Package manager to install new packages. The system monitor also shows network activity.
There was no proxy server set up before the upgrade. Does 11.04 require a proxy server setup? Checked and set to auto detect but made no difference. I'm currently connecting off my old laptop running Windows XP on a wired connection through the same modem.
I just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. When I restarted, I admired the new login menu, then went to Firefox. I noticed that my wireless didn't work (it did in 9.04) Thinking I'd just need to reinstall the drivers, I plugged in the computer to a working Ethernet outlet with a working cord. I noticed that Ubuntu didn't tell me that Auto eth0 was connected. It didn't tell me anything. And then I went to Google and realized that the wired connection didn't work either. Then I came here on an iPod Touch and you know the rest.
Edit: And other devices work too on the network.
I'm currently running Ubuntu 9.10.After I updated to 9.10, my wireless connection stoppped working. I can access the network but I get no response or what so ever in my browser.Downloading language support or any software doesn't work either.Haven't changed anything to my settings and checked the router. Router works just fine.

When I load the earlier 2.6.32-21 kernel instead of 2.6.32-24, the new system works as it should and the Internet is very fast. This suggests to me that the kernel update is the problem, most likely the NIC driver. This motherboard has a Realtek 8112L NIC fitted.
Has anyone else had this issue and what is the best way around it other than loading the older kernel and hoping that the next update will fix it?
Since I've upgraded to Kubuntu 10.10 I've lost my wireless internet. In Windows 7 everything's fine, but in Kubuntu wicd keeps giving a "Unable to get IP address message".
Here's some output:
dmesg | grep wlan0
wlan0: associate with **:**:**:**:**:** (try 1)
wlan0: RX AssocResp from **:**:**:**:**:** (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=2)

today i installed ubuntu 10.10 on my hp mini 210 netbook. previously i had ubuntu netbook remix running and had no problem accessing the internet both wired and wireless; however, since installing 10.10 i have been searching for a solution for the last six hours but have been unable to get either to work.
as far as hardware is concerned i have a broadband bcm4313 802.11 network controller and am running through a linksys router which i know to be working because i have 4 other computers connected to it all with internet access. i checked ifconfig and a lo conection was listed but no eth0. i also tried downloading a broadband tar.gz driver but dont have any packages to build it and cant get any since the computer has no internet. i assume wired is easiest to setup so lets start there even though i use wireless 90% of the time. im new to linux so please dont expect me to know any terminal commands.
Under Fedora 9 everything was fine. Now, when loading web sites, about half the time, there is a pause of several seconds before the page starts with a message in the status bar of "Looking up <domain name>". Seems like a problem with name resolution. Half the time, this isn't an issue ... wierd.
/etc/resolv.conf:
Code:
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
search hsd1.ct.comcast.net.
nameserver 68.87.71.226
nameserver 68.87.73.242

I am trying to connect my desktop to my laptop over a non-internet connected LAN, but when i enable the LAN connection on my desktop (the one with the wireless) its internet stops working.
it is a very similar problem to this except that i am using ubuntu for the machine with the two connections.
right now i have my wireless on the 192.168.1.* address space, while the LAN is to be on 192.168.5.*
note: my goal is not to share internet with my laptop, just be able to connect to it and the internet at the same time.
desktop: ubuntu 9.10 , wireless and LAN
laptop: windows xp, LAN only
I'm trying to set up a wireless AP with Internet sharing. I currently have the AP setup with hostapd and a dhcp server. The clients can connect but there is not Internet sharing. Now my situation is somewhat uniqe in that my internet connection is my teathered android cell phone. The tether app is azilink and i use openvpn to create a virtual networking interface(tun0).
View 4 Replies View RelatedOn this box I have Two seperate Ubuntu installations. Recently in both I seem to be having the same problem. I initially can connect to the internet as per normal and use any internet application. But after a period of time, sometimes just minutes, sometimes hours, even though the icon says connected, I cant update pages or send emails etc because there is no actual connection. My Physical connection is good I know - My Ubuntu laptop and Windows gamming PC connect fine during this period. So
Does this suggest an intermittent hardware fault or is there some thing in Ubuntu I can check to make sure that it is setup correctly and nothing has been corrupted? I am a lay PC person - I dont really want to be command prompting - Plug & Play and Point & Click is my limit.
I tried to install Xubuntu 10.10 Maverick as dual boot on my laptop. However when xubuntu is on, I can't find a way to connect to internet. When I try the 2 arrows on the up-right corner the option for wireless is deemed. I tried offline/online, that did not work either. when I click the firefox It says you are not connected.

I have had few problems up until now with my Hardy Heron 8.04 system. I was notified of the upgrade and decided to do it yesterday. When it didn't work, I posted last night and today couldn't locate the post even searching my posts. When I boot the computer I end up with this on the black screen: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS dell desktop tty1
I login with user and password and have this:
richard@dell_desktop:~$
Now what? I have no Internet connection. I noticed in some error messages during the upgrade that python is not working. I can't even shut down the computer. I disconnect it from AC power and pull out the battery!
I don't know any commands, really.
Will it damage my files if I just reinstall 8.04 from a CD? I am reluctant to do this because I am afraid all my files will not be available. Better still if I can type in the appropriate commands to 1)get my Internet connection working again, and 2)return my screen to a graphical user interface where I can access system and administration, repository,etc.
One message I got that may be relevant is: /usr/bin/dpkg returned on error code (1)
Upgraded 5 days ago, just noticed no audio or internet icon on the panel (internet works tho).I've tried different things i/'ve found on the forum, including editing thingd in the preferences>startup applications part, nothing has worked. I've an old laptop and not sure what info you need. Audio worked fine before the upgrade..

Code:
Not all updates can be installed
Run a partial upgrade, to install as many updates as possible.
This can be caused by:
* A previous upgrade which didn't complete
* Problems with some of the installed software
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu

I'm a pretty new ubuntu user and I've just upgraded from 10.10. It seems to be working pretty well, except that I can't figure out how to connect to the Internet. When I click the wireless icon to try to connect, the drop down menu is as follows:
Wired network (grey/unclickable)
Disconnected (grey)
JackET N8 (grey)
Disconnected (grey)

11.04 has finally fixed my Screen Resolution problems. Yippee. But now the Internet access has broken, again rendering my Ubuntu installation mostly useless. Yes, it tells me Wired internet disconnected, after repeated attempts to gain access to the internet over a LAN cable. I have tried everything to get it to work, even manually entering all the info to allow access to my router. But still No. What is even more frustrating is that the internet worked fine on the Live CD, but not on the final installation.

The thing here is the computer does not have access to internet - so is it possible for me to download a single .deb file or a couple of .deb files so that the computer can be updated.

View 1 Replies View RelatedLoss of internet connection after upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 Like the title says, I lost my internet connection after upgrading my Ubuntu system from 8.04 to 8.10.I used the downloaded automated method. It appeared to work fine on its initial reboot into 8.10. But I noticed the internet icon indicated loss of connection. Even so, I was still able to browse the net through Firefox. But then when I rebooted the next day the opposite was true: the connection icon indicated connection, but Firefox would not actually connect, nor would update manager. It has been like this since. This is a dual boot machine, and the Windows XP Pro side still connects to the internet as usual, no problems.So how can I make my new 8.10 system connect to the internet?

I upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 lts yesterday. The upgrade went smoothly. but now I have a very slow internet connection. It is as if I am on a dial up when I have a broadband speed of 20 MB. What can I do to fix or perhaps roll-back the installation to the previous proper working state.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI use the CD upgrade method to upgrade my kubuntu 10.04 to 10.10.Not to mention,the ISO image of the CD is this one :kubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso.At the first run I choose YES for the prompt asking for internet connection or whatever, but I immediately realise that I have chosen a wrong option, so I exit and restart the upgrade all over again.On the second run, I choose NO for the prompt , then the installation continues until it reaches the 'fetching files' stage. It pops up and says "The upgrade has aborted. Please check your internet connection or installation media and try again. All files downloaded so far are kept."
I don't want to reinstall the whole system again because I want my applications;I don't want to use the updater to upgrade because I have a low internet speed .
After my "upgrade" to 10.04 I am unable to access the internet at home with wireless using Firefox, but am able to access the router. I am however able to access the internet at work, both use WPA password protection. I was also able to do the updates over wireless at home, despite not being able to access the internet. I am currently at work, and downloaded Google Chrome and did not import settings from Firefox, to see if there were any settings issues with Firefox itself.

I even checked nano /etc/resolv.conf and sure enough my gateway was the same for my Internet eth0.When I ran ifconfig I could see that the eth0 mac address was set as eth1..I tried to reset my drbl for clonezilla but that only sees the vmware Connection and not my actural cards.. have taken alook at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and the assignment is right but not ifconfig?
I upgraded from 11.2 to 11.3, and now I can't seem to get my network/internet connection working. I am using a router and a cable modem, and the connection is of course DSL. I am using wpa2 for security. I can't even FIND where to enter my wpa2 key. When I upgraded from 10.x to 11.2, there was no such problem.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just did a large patch on my opensuse11.3 system (upgrade of all installed packages), and whilst my network interface works, I cannot get past my router onto the internet.
I can connect to other computers on my network (here at home), I have an IP address via dhcp from my router, but I cannot get internet access, either from thunderbird, firefox, or simply by [URL] Clearly the computer was connected to the internet just fine minutes before since I did the large patch! Also, my other computers CAN still connect to the internet.
how i can debug it? It is just too coincidental I have upgraded everything and now somethings amiss!
If it's relevant, my router is a netgear WGR614v9.
A few things I've tried...
Code:
linuxthinkpad:/var/log # /sbin/route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo

My RHEL 6 computer at work cannot have access to the internet. Is there any way I can upgrade my kernel without internet access? I do ofcourse of another PC with internet access and a USB flash drive.
