Internet connection problem
- Inicie sesión ou rexístrese para enviar comentarios
Hi to everyone! After the last update done today 20th, I cannot have WIFI internet connection in my desktop PC and notebook, both with Trisquel 8 mini. My WIFI modem works perfecly in another notebook with Lubuntu 16.04.6 LTS (free-libre version). Is there perhaps a bug in the update of the network manager? How can I solve the problem with the command lines? I use for my old notebook HP 510 the dongle Penguin Wireless N USB Adapter for GNU / Linux (TPE-N150USB) and for the PC desktop the Penguin Wireless N USB Adapter /w External Antenna for GNU / Linux (TPE-N150USBL), both by ThinkPenguin. Both notebook and desk PC worked very well until yesterday 19th! Thank you for your attention.

Possibly. Run
$ apt policy network manager
And see if the "Installed:" field says "1.10.6-2ubuntu1+8.0trisquel1" to
confirm that you received the update I think you received.
This is a recent change so prevent network-manager from disclosing your
hostname to the router, which was deemed a privacy issue.
If you have not rebooted since updating, try doing so. If that doesn't
help, or if you have already rebooted, try installing the old version
of network-manager and see if that fixes the problem.
$ sudo apt install network-manager=1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.3
Unless you have run "apt clean" since upgrading, the previous version of
network-manager should still be cached, so you should not need to be
connected to the internet to reinstall.
Since I have the same Wifi chipset (AR9271), I installed the latest updates to see. Here is the related entry in /var/log/apt/history.log:
Commandline: aptdaemon role='role-commit-packages' sender=':1.183'
Install: libteamdctl0:amd64 (1.23-1, automatic), publicsuffix:amd64 (20160130-1, automatic), libpsl0:amd64 (0.11.0-2, automatic), libjansson4:amd64 (2.7-3ubuntu0.1, automatic)

NetworkManager is updated (nothing specific to Atheros chipsets) and things go wrong indeed. In the case of my system, wronger than what Piriponzolo reports: after restarting NetworkManager (or rebooting the whole system), I apparently can neither get a Wifi connection nor a wired connection. The version of the kernel does not seem to make a difference. I tried versions 4.4.0-161 and 4.15.0-55, Trisquel's default and HWE versions.
I wrote "apparently" because the wired connection works with IP addresses. As far as I understand (I am not knowledgeable when it comes to networks), the DNS servers of my ISP are not automatically set anymore (since the update). I have actually always wanted to use the DNS of the French Data Network (a French associative ISP, fighting against censorship) and adding 80.67.169.12 in the DNS tab of the Network Settings works. So, here is a way to get a working wired connection... but the change is not persistent (it has always been like that on my system, for some reason): the DNS must be reconfigured after every reboot.
The Wifi problem seems unrelated and more serious. Right after plugging in my adapter, here are dmesg's messages over 114 seconds (I removed the timestamps to ease the reading):

Thanks for saving me the trouble of breaking my own Internet in order to
get this information. Hopefully reinstalling the previous version of
network-manager and wpasupplicant will fix your system.

network-manager automatically generates /etc/resolv.conf on startup,
which will overwrite any changes you make manually, so you can't
persistently change DNS behind network-manager's back. I think that
GNOME's graphical frontend to network-manager might allow you to change
it persistently. This[1] should also work.

Since the log has several errors that mention your MAC address, I think
the problem might have to do with the new randomization of mac
addresses.[2] Does editing /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and
commenting out
```
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=yes
```
and/or
```
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=yes
[connection]

Hopefully reinstalling the previous version of network-manager and wpasupplicant will fix your system.
It did: https://trisquel.info/forum/internet-connection-problem#comment-144131
Thank you.
I think that GNOME's graphical frontend to network-manager might allow you to change it persistently.
I use GNOME's graphical frontend...
This[1] should also work.
I will try that later.
Does editing /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and commenting out (...) fix the problem?
I will break again my network connection and try right now. :-)
Deleting both sections of /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and executing 'systemctl restart NetworkManager' does not solve any of the two problems (the DNS not being automatically configured with Ethernet, the Wifi adapter never connecting to the network). Should I still try to remove only one of the two sections? Also, I only executed 'systemctl restart NetworkManager' after updating to the flidas-backports version of NetworkManager. Is it really necessary to reboot (as the Update Manager says)?
I tried deleting only one of the two sections. I tried rebooting after deleting both sections too. Nothing led to any improvement w.r.t. the faced problems.

Prior to the update, the /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
looked like this
```
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile,ofono
dns=dnsmasq
[ifupdown]
managed=false
```
Now it looks like this:
```
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
[ifupdown]
managed=false
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=yes
[connection]
wifi.cloned-mac-address=stable
ethernet.cloned-mac-address=stable
connection.stable-id=${CONNECTION}/$(BOOT)
```
So the problem should lie in the new [device] section, the new
[connection] section, and/or the missing "dns=dnsmasq" line. (I ofono in
the "plugins=" line makes a difference.)
If completely reverting to the contents of the old NetworkManager.conf
doesn't fix the problem, then perhaps the issue has something to do with
the newer versions of network-manager and/or wpasupplicant, which with
this latest change are now backported from Ubuntu 18.04.

I'm not sure. It seems that the problem may have something to do with
how your computer communicates with your router, and I'm not sure
whether something relevant to this happens on startup that does not
happen when restarting NetworkManager.
Since the log has several errors that mention your MAC address, I think the problem might have to do with the new randomization of mac addresses.
Given the problem with DNS, I would bet on a problem relating to "disabling sending hostname on DHCP requests". Indeed, a DHCPOFFER message includes DNS servers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol#Offer
> Given the problem with DNS, I would bet on a problem

In that case, it is the changes made to nm-setting-ip4-config.c and
nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c that are causing the issue, which can only be
reverted by recompiling.
What happens if you make NetworkManager forget the connection to your
router and start fresh?
Nothing unexpected: I have to choose the GVT-989C_nomap network by hand, the password is asked but, again, the connection is never established. I see no relevant difference in dmesg's output. I detect no relevant difference in NetworkManager's log either but maybe you will:

Neither do I, and at this point I'm ready to give up. Ark74 and I spent
hours working on a helper[1] that addressed the hostname issue, and it
did not cause these problems when we tested it, but this other helper
was used instead without any discussion. I don't really feel like
putting more of my time into this issue. I've emailed quidam and pinged
him on IRC asking him to revert these changes, and in the meantime I've
made a forum thread[2] warning users and explaining how to upgrade all
packages except these two.

Also, I had to restart NetworkManager:

An now, the Update Manager is proposing me the same update again... Hopefully, the logs I reported are useful o solve the problem in another update. Whoever works on it: I can help with testing.

Did you run
$ sudo apt install network-manager
or
$ sudo apt install network-manager=1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.3
?
I did only run sudo apt install network-manager.
> I did only run sudo apt install network-manager.
This will install the newest known version (the broken version, since
you'll need to run another "apt update" to for the package manager to be
aware of the recent version that fixes the problem). To revert to the
old version you need to run
$ sudo apt install network-manager=1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.3
Once you have a working connection, run
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
to get the newest version which quidam says fixes the problem.

Perhaps the old version of network-manager is no longer cached, since
the package manager appears to be trying to download it from Trisquel's
servers, which it can't do without an Internet connection. Either that,
or you had a different version of network-manager installed before.
Please run
$ ls /var/cache/apt/archives | grep network-manager | sed '/trisquel/d'
to see if you have any version of network-manager cached other than one
of the versions modified by Trisquel. If this command outputs
"network-manager_[some version].deb" then run
$ sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/network-manager_[whichever version it was].deb
(Don't copy that command verbatim. Replace [whichever version it was]
as appropriate.)
Otherwise, do you have the ability to use a system where Internet works
(a Trisquel live session) to download this file[1] and install it with
$ sudo dpkg -i /path/to/network-manager_1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.3_amd64.deb
(Don't copy that command verbatim either. Replace "/path/to" with the
location of the file.)
Thank you very much, Chaosmonk! The desk pc now works well with your second suggestion and is updated. I have downloaded the file network-manager_1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.3_amd64.deb and used the following command line by you suggested. Thank you again for your precious help. Ciao

I'm glad everything's working now. The version of network-manager that
was causing these problems has been removed from the repo, so it should
be safe to upgrade from now on without the issue returning.
Hi all, I also had connection issues after an update today. A ping to a numeric IP was successful but many services relying on resolving names did not work.
The solution I found: add
nameserver 8.8.8.8
to file /etc/resolv.conf
> The solution I found: add

Does this survive a reboot?
No, the setting in resolv.conf doesn't survive a reboot. I boot once daily and I can live with this workaround until a fix is available. BTW, I got the idea from this StackExchange page:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/368435/how-do-i-fix-dns-resolving-which-doesnt-work-after-upgrading-to-ubuntu-13-10-s
I just published an update to NetworkManager fixing the regressions (network-manager_1.10.6-2ubuntu1+8.0trisquel2). The changes from version trisquel1 are to set NM to use dnsseq as before, and to disable the mac address randomization settings (but leaving them commented out so they are easy to enable for users with the correct hardware). The feature of not sending the hostname should work, if it interferes with connecting to some routers please report and I'll revert that too.
Thanks, Ruben. Glad to see you in this discussion.
The newer version does not solve the problems for me: using Ethernet, the DNS server is not automatically set (I can only contact IP addresses, not domain names) and, I believe, I cannot establish a wireless connection to a network (using an adpater with the AR9271 chipset). I write "I believe" for the second problem, because I am in a university with a rather unreliable wireless network.
So, after the update, I had to downgrade again:
- I added 80.67.169.12 as a DNS server in the Network Settings (and got domain name resolution);
- I executed 'sudo apt install network-manager=1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.3 wpasupplicant=2.4-0ubuntu6.6' in a terminal.
If I 'sudo apt-mark unhold network-manager', the Update Manager still proposes me the version 1.10.6-2ubuntu1+8.0trisquel2 of NetworkManager...

If you really did use "unhold", then this is the expected behavior.
Change it to "hold" in order to prevent upgrades to network-manager.
If you actually used "hold" and "unhold" is just a typo in the forum
post, then maybe the graphical update manager does not observe the hold.
Or, perhaps it will not actually upgrade network-manager if you follow
through with the upgrade. When I run "apt list --upgradable"
network-manager does appear, but when I run "sudo apt upgrade" I get
The following packages have been kept back:
network-manager
so if the graphical installer uses "apt list --upgradable" or some
equivalent to list the upgradable packages, then network-manager might
appear even if it will not actually be upgraded.
I really meant "unhold" (no typo). I do not think it is OK to still have the normally proposed version of NetworkManager (well, normal for those who enabled flidas-backports) "break the Internet" of many users. The problem looks widespread: besides those who expressed themselves in this thread, I can mention the system I installed for my parents, who could not fix it without my assistance, which could not be remote since their system was offline.
Either another update is necessary or, thinking only of rarely used systems (that were not updated in the past week) and of new users, a removal of versions 1.10.6-2ubuntu1+8.0trisquel1 and 1.10.6-2ubuntu1+8.0trisquel2 from the repository. Somebody who installs Trisquel 8 and, to complement the installation, enables flidas-backports, updates and loses her Internet connection. She will certainly look no further and proceed with the installation of another distribution!

Sorry, I misunderstood you. It sounds you had already successfully
"held" the old network manager version and were checking to see if a new
update were available fixing the issue.

Debian once accidentally pushed an unstable version of Lilypond
(2.19.81) from their experimental repo into the main repo. They then
reuploaded the stable version (2.18.2) with "2.19.81+really-"
prepended to the version number, and have kept it that way since, so the
current version is "2.19.81+really-2.18.2-13". This essentially tricks
the package manager to into thinking that the downgrade is really an
upgrade, so it will propose the old version.
The same thing could be accomplished by uploading the old version of
network-manager with the version
"1.10.6-2ubuntu1+8.0trisquel2+really-1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.3", except
that I'm not sure how anyone with the current version of network-manager
will be able to upgrade at all unless they check the forum and learn
what to do.
What Debian did for Lilypond looks like the way to go. It prevents newly installed systems and systems that were not updated during the past week to suffer from the problem. For those who updated, I suggested in https://trisquel.info/forum/volunteer-write-more-regular-blog-posts-trisquelinfo#comment-144246 a post on the main website, maybe more visible than the forum. After the addition of the (fake) updated version of NetworkManager to the repository, the terminal-free instructions for the MATE edition of Trisquel would become:
- Plug an Ethernet cable;
- After unlocking "Network", in MATE's "Control Center", with your password, "add" in its DNS tab the IP address of any DNS server (for instance FDN's server: 80.67.169.12);
- Install the updates from the "Software Updater", in MATE's "Control Center".
That last step is much easier for a non-technical user (like my mother) than typing without a typo 'sudo apt install network-manager=1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.3 wpasupplicant=2.4-0ubuntu6.6' and 'sudo apt-mark hold network-manager wpasupplicant'. :-)
I quote Magic Banana (nice nick BTW), the newest Network Manager upgrade doesn't work either, i had to downgrade again.
