| dureya | hello, I am setting up an ubuntu server for the first time and am fairly new to this. Currently I think I have downloaded it right, but when I do "sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade" it throws a few errors, 1: xenial-security inRelease temp failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com', 2: xenial inRelease along with the same temp failure msg, 3: xenial-updates inRelease, 4: xenial-backports inRelease | 01:30 |
|---|---|---|
| dureya | this laptop has a working wifi card | 01:31 |
| dureya | but when I connect via ethernet, it still wont connect to the net :( | 01:31 |
| dureya | hello? | 01:49 |
| JanC | DNS issues? | 01:53 |
| dureya | when I installed the os onto the dell it couldn't configure the DHCP. | 01:54 |
| dureya | would that cause it? | 01:54 |
| dureya | in ifconfig i got lo, and virbr0 | 01:55 |
| JanC | if you didn't set manual DNS servers and you don't get them from DHCP, yes | 01:55 |
| JanC | sounds like you get no network at all then | 01:55 |
| dureya | well, I am currently on the cmd now, is there any guide that I could use to get up the DHCP and the DNS server? | 01:56 |
| JanC | dureya: I mean it seems like there are no (supported) network devices | 02:05 |
| dureya | so does this mean I cannot join the network? | 02:06 |
| dureya | sorry if I sound dumb, but I do have a wireless card in the laptop aswell as an ethernet port, but neither work. Do I need to turn any services on? Is there a way to set up a dhcp without internet? Do I have to reinstall the server? | 02:07 |
| JanC | not before you find out why it doesn't see the network devices, e.g.: are they enabled in the UEFI firmware, do they need a firmware (some WiFi need that), do they need a driver that is not included, ... | 02:08 |
| dureya | everything seems to be 'DOWN' when i do ip a | 02:12 |
| OerHeks | dureya, type 'ifconfig' and see if you got an IP ?? | 02:13 |
| JanC | with only lo & virbr0 you can't get any useful IP address | 02:14 |

| dureya | inet addr: 192.168.122.1 | 02:15 |
| dureya | Bcast:192.168.122.255 | 02:15 |
| JanC | dureya: that's virbr0, I assume? | 02:16 |
| dureya | yes sir | 02:16 |
| dureya | lo and virbr0 both are showing that they're UP | 02:17 |
| JanC | virbr0 is for communication with virtual guests (if you have any) | 02:18 |
| dureya | I do not. | 02:19 |
| dureya | Does this mean that the os is not reading my network adapter card or the wifi card? | 02:19 |
| JanC | it means there is an issue with the drivers, I guess | 02:20 |
| dureya | Any solutions? Im very lost right now. | 02:21 |
| JanC | not any easy solutions | 02:22 |
| JanC | except maybe testing a more recent kernel version to see if that helps | 02:22 |
| dureya | would this happen to any server os I dl? | 02:23 |
| JanC | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/141343 seems to be a similar issue | 02:24 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 141343 in linux (Ubuntu Hardy) "r8169 driver does not work with Realtek "PCI-E" 8111B integrated network controller" [Medium,Fix released] | 02:24 |
| dureya | thank you, I'll read it and see if I can fix it. | 02:25 |
| JanC | it's for another network adapter though, but it also tries to use the same included driver which doesn't work | 02:26 |
| dureya | oh... | 02:26 |
| JanC | I suppose it's an unsupported variation of the same family of network chips | 02:27 |
| JanC | dureya: how old is that hardware and what version of Ubuntu did you try? | 02:28 |
| dureya | I am not sure how old it is. I got it from my uncle today and it is running on an intel core i3. Its a dell inspiron; ubuntu version is the recent ubuntu server release | 02:29 |
| JanC | I was thinking a ballpark figure (and it should have a date somewhere at the bottom) | 02:32 |
| dureya | 2011-2012ish | 02:35 |
| dureya | JanC^ | 02:36 |
| JanC | so fairly long before the last Ubuntu was released | 02:37 |
| dureya | yeah, it doesn't seem that long ago. Should I use an old ubuntu release? | 02:40 |
| dureya | Or, any other server os you recomment? I am trying to setup a dedicated gaming server | 02:40 |
| JanC | you could try installing r8168-dkms + its dependencies using an USB stick | 02:42 |
| dureya | can i use a dvd instead? | 02:43 |
| JanC | whatever you want, as long as everything you need is on it | 02:43 |
| dureya | also, how can I run it once I put it in? | 02:44 |
| JanC | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline might be useful | 02:44 |
| JanC | and installing everything (r8168-dkms + all its dependencies) should in theory be enough | 02:46 |
| JanC | another option is to use an USB WiFi or USB ethernet that you already know works well | 02:47 |
| dureya | ok,I am going to try this out, thank you. Also, this is making my head spin | 02:47 |
| dureya | so I got the dependencies and r8168-dkms on my usb with aptmedium, but I cannot install it :/ | 03:20 |

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? or am I misunderstanding the release notes talking about a newer version of this driver? | 16:54 |

| peterd | I see that someone else had this error with the same type of Asrock mobo... maybe the error is there | 23:10 |
| tarpman | peterd: check you're running the latest firmware/BIOS, sometimes bugs get fixed | 23:12 |
| peterd | I'll contact Asrock and see if there is a bios update. Many thanks for the help. In the mean time, the workaround seems to be adding "disable>/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe6F (I wonder if this is related to the CPU heating problem I've noticed, that this mobo+i5 runs at 40C while my win10 box and linux box run at 27C) | 23:13 |
| peterd | again, Thanks to Everyone for the help | 23:15 |
