keithzg[m] | `ip addr` reports my ethernet adapter has no IP address. Restarting the `networking` service does nothing, however restarting `NetworkManager` seems to address it (pun semi-intended) | 00:00 |
---|---|---|
keithzg[m] | Alas not even the only problems so I just gotta act like a Windows user and reboot this computer, since I have work to do... | 00:06 |
mmikowski | keithzg[m]: Are you seeing anything strange in syslog (grep 'NetworkManager' /var/syslog |grep -i error)? | 00:09 |
keithzg | mmikowski: grepping for error returned nothing at all. Just looking at all all lines including NetworkManager in /var/log/syslog.1 (since I've rebooted since) I see a lot like the following, stopping at about 9AM local time, but happening repeatedly starting literal days before I last used this desktop last night, so even if they're related to the actual problem they wouldn't appear to be aligned with the actual failure itself happening. | 00:40 |
keithzg | siddhartha kernel: [3920745.280507] [ 1204] 0 1204 65337 107 143360 756 0 NetworkManager | 00:40 |
mmikowski | keithzg[m]: Well, so much for the easy solution :P | 00:41 |
keithzg | mmikowski: hehe oh it's NEVER the easy solution for me, I have terrible luck in these regards, it's what led me to be such a computer geek, always running into problems and in the course of it adding to my repertoire of solutions :D | 00:44 |
mmikowski | Often times this is a kernel + firmware issue. You might try running 22.04 LTS as a live CD and see if you can recreate it. | 00:44 |
mmikowski | What system do you have? Do you know the wifi card? | 00:44 |
keithzg | Oh I guarantee it's not a problem on 22.04, I was on 22.04 for aaaages, only recently updated. | 00:44 |
keithzg | Wifi?! Hell no | 00:44 |
mmikowski | Ah, ok. | 00:44 |
keithzg | Ethernet all the way bay-bee | 00:44 |
keithzg | (This is a desktop PC and it's not even a meter away from my router and main switch hehe) | 00:45 |
mmikowski | There are network manager alternatives, so you might consider that: https://askubuntu.com/questions/23297 | 00:45 |
keithzg | Eh sure, I'd rather figure out what the actual cause is though | 00:45 |
keithzg | Especially if this is something that'll eventually come back to haunt me at work or such | 00:46 |
mmikowski | My guess is kernel + firmware. You might rollback to the same kernel as 22.04. That would be a great way to bisect. | 00:46 |
mmikowski | I'd suggest that, since its an easy test and can tell you a lot. Best of luck! | 00:48 |
keithzg | Hmm certainly not the worst plan mmikowski. Any official way these days to install an LTS kernel, or should I just pull and install the packages manually from the jammy repos? | 00:50 |
mmikowski | I doubt there is an LTS kernel metapackage (but then again, there could be). Instead, I can look it up and send it along... one minute ... | 00:51 |
mmikowski | FWIW, I'm running 5.17.0-1020-oem on kfocus; no issue on networking on any of our systems (it gets tested before any release). | 00:52 |
mmikowski | Metapackage: apt-get install linux-generic-hwe-22.04 linux-headers-generic-hwe-22.04 linux-tools-generic-hwe-22.04 | 00:56 |
mmikowski | Assuming those are available. | 00:56 |
keithzg | Looks like indeed they are! | 00:56 |
mmikowski | If not, the current 22.04 LTS kernel version is 5.15.0.52.52... | 00:57 |
mmikowski | keithzg[m]: Ah, ease-of-testing! | 00:57 |
mmikowski | That should do the trick; I assume you are fine with picking the kernel from grub? | 00:58 |
keithzg | Many thanks for the help mmikowski, now I guess I should probably get back to work but afterwards I'll reboot into that kernel and see what happens :) | 00:58 |
keithzg | Oh yeah, been there many a time before hehe | 00:58 |
mmikowski | Also, you may need to update-initramfs for that kernel (sudo update-initramfs -u -k ....) | 00:58 |
mmikowski | Also dkms if you are using that. | 00:59 |
keithzg | Oho good point, I actually didn't see an update-initramfs line in the apt output. Don't think I'm using DKMS for anything on this system. | 01:00 |
mmikowski | I've definitely been burned before on both :) | 01:01 |
mmikowski | ls /var/lib/initramfs-tools | sudo xargs -n1 /usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start | 01:02 |
mmikowski | That should do the magic to update and dkms bits you need. | 01:02 |
keithzg | I just outright get "ls: cannot access '/var/lib/initramfs-tools': No such file or directory" | 01:03 |
mmikowski | keithzg[m]: let me check that ... | 01:12 |
mmikowski | keithzg[m]: my guess is you don't have dkms installed. That likely provides that file. | 01:15 |
keithzg | Ah, yeah that would answer it. And leave no reason to worry, win/win :) | 01:15 |
mmikowski | (unfortunately, some dynamic files, especially those in var, are hard to trace) | 01:15 |
mmikowski | (the reason dpkg -S doesn't find them is because they are not installed like regular files but are later created in postinstall or during runtime). | 01:16 |
mmikowski | Sorry if that's too remedial, btw. I can get a bit pendantic sometimes. | 01:16 |
mmikowski | So if you got initramfs done, you should be good! | 01:17 |
mmikowski | kk keithzg[m], good luck. Back to work for me. Please let me know if it fixes the issue; that way, we can keep an eye out for the upcoming kernel. | 01:18 |
keithzg | Hehe s'all good, clarity is worth the risk of being superfluous :) | 01:18 |
keithzg | Shall do, mmikowski! | 01:18 |
mmikowski | Btw, I'm running 6.0.0 here too, and no problems with networking, at least not on WiFi (just one maching currently). | 01:18 |
mmikowski | that! | 01:18 |
mmikowski | ^thanks! | 01:19 |
