[12:15] <Guest91580> hi
[12:19] <eqnawr> why can't i connect to the internet besides through this irc chat. does anybody know what steps i could take?
[12:20] <eqnawr> firefox doesn't work. terminal unable to fetch to fetch
[12:22] <kc2bez> Which version of Lubuntu are you using?
[12:22] <eqnawr> latest
[12:22] <eqnawr> installed it a few days ago on this notebook
[12:22] <eqnawr> but also installed mongodb and pyenv
[12:23] <eqnawr> yesterday i still had internet in browser and terminal also
[12:24] <kc2bez> Which version did you download though? We have 3 on our downloads page.
[12:26] <eqnawr> can i type something in terminal to find out which version i have?
[12:27] <eqnawr> i wrote lubuntu 20 on the dvd i have it on
[12:27] <eqnawr> it was a few weeks ago when i downloaded it
[12:27] <kc2bez> `lsb_release -a`
[12:27] <eqnawr> lsb_release -a
[12:27] <eqnawr> No LSB modules are available.
[12:27] <eqnawr> Distributor ID: Ubuntu
[12:27] <eqnawr> Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
[12:27] <eqnawr> Release:        20.04
[12:27] <eqnawr> Codename:       focal
[12:27] <kc2bez> Ok thanks.
[12:28] <eqnawr> ty
[12:30] <kc2bez> Obviously the computer is connected to the Internet since IRC is working. You could look in preferences -> Advanced Network Connections to make sure everything is in order.
[12:31] <eqnawr> yeah it should be. i tried ethernet cable also. same thing
[12:31] <eqnawr> connected through wifi at the moment
[12:32] <eqnawr> don't know why it can't resolve http(s):// addresses
[12:32] <kc2bez> That sounds like a DNS issue.
[12:34] <kc2bez> You could open a terminal and try to `ping 8.8.8.8` that pings Google's DNS. You can use ctrl + c to stop your ping.
[12:34] <eqnawr> Network is unreachable
[12:34] <eqnawr> ping 8.8.8.8
[12:34] <eqnawr> ping: connect: Network is unreachable
[12:36] <kc2bez> It might be worthwhile to restart your router or look at the settings there to make sure nothing strange is going on.
[12:36] <kc2bez> Or try another device on the same network
[12:37] <eqnawr> other devices work
[12:37] <eqnawr> am googling with my smartphone atm
[12:37] <eqnawr> connected through wif
[12:40] <kc2bez> So if you right click on the network icon in the tray and select connection information does everything look right?
[12:41] <eqnawr> i haven't checked it before. but it looks like i would imagine it to be right
[12:42] <eqnawr> don't know about DNS(1): fe80::1
[12:42] <eqnawr> it has pv6 ip addresses
[12:42] <kc2bez> Yeah, that doesn't sound right
[12:42] <eqnawr> subnet masks all are ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::
[12:45] <kc2bez> It sounds like DHCP didn't hand out DNS to your device possibly.
 Your dns is the localhost, change to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8
[12:55] <eqnawr> okay thank you so far guys. helps alot. unfortunately i have to go for a few hours now. but ty ty ty
[12:56] <kc2bez> Take care and good luck.
[12:56] <eqnawr> will try to work it out later. but im a little bit smarter now. have a nice day
[14:48] <TinkinerThinkeri> is it possible to downgrade 20.10 to 20.04 lubuntu
[14:48] <TinkinerThinkeri> ?
