Re: [Trisquel-users] Ethernet Not Working
Great, I'm glad the issue is resolved.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ethernet Not Working
I believe that I solved the issue. What I did was to lock the connection to the network device specified by both its interface name and permanent MAC address. Sometimes the issue reappears if I reboot/shutdown the computer, but when I disconnect and reconnect the ethernet cable, it is resolved.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ethernet Not Working
Can you tell me the make and model of the router, was it supplied by your ISP? The T400 has a GigabitEthernet port what sort of port has the mac. What type of modem supplies your internet. My current setup from my ISP is one box which is both a modem and a router it has wifi and four ethernet ports.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ethernet Not Working
Do you really think that the solution is in the router's configuration? I'm asking because I'd rather not modify any of its settings. Might there not be something that we can try on the T400? If not, then please tell me what to look for in the router's settings, and I could take a look.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ethernet Not Working
What is the make and model of the router? You would need to check how it is configured. How many ports are on it and what type of ports. In my experience with routers they can be set to auto negotiate the speed of the router port with your equipment i.e. the mac or the T400 sometimes different equipment doesn't handle the auto negotiate well and you can opt to hard code the speed which can solve some problems.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ethernet Not Working
"how exactly is it connected?" There's a router between the modem and computer. So, I connected the T400 directly to the modem, and the connection speed was optimal, which was to be expected. The fact is I cannot have the T400 directly connected to the modem (due to my network setup). The internet speed of my other computer, which is connected to the router, is fine (not as fast as when directly connected to the modem, but that's normal). The same occurs when a friend connects their computer in the same way. Why is the T400's internet speed, when connected to the router, so slow? There has to be an explanation.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ethernet Not Working
>What if I connected the T400 directly to the modem? Would that be of any use? I thought the mac was directly connected to the modem, how exactly is it connected? I would try a direct connection to the modem just to see if it makes any difference. The dig command will show you how much delay there is to your DNS server, so the quicker the better. Have you only obtained the T400 recently?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ethernet Not Working
"Are you using the same ethernet lead and port on your router when using the T400 as you do when connecting with the Mac." First, I remove the ethernet cable from the Mac, and then I connect it to the T400, if that makes sense. So, my Mac and T400 are never connected to the internet at the same time. "If it was possible for you to try connecting using wifi and your connection was OK then it would suggest thet the problem was the ethernet port." I cannot, at the moment. "Another option would be to try connecting with the ethernet port using a friends internet connection on their router." What if I connected the T400 directly to the modem? Would that be of any use? *** So, I tried the first command to test my current settings, and my query time was 107 msec. When I tested my primary DNS server address with the second command, I got 102 msec. What can be concluded from that? By the way, I also tried 8.8.8.8 with the second command, and it was slightly faster, though connecting to the web was equally slow as with my original DNS servers.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ethernet Not Working
Are you using the same ethernet lead and port on your router when using the T400 as you do when connecting with the Mac. If so this would point to the problem being with either the T400 or some of the settings on it. If it was possible for you to try connecting using wifi and your connection was OK then it would suggest thet the problem was the ethernet port. Another option would be to try connecting with the ethernet port using a friends internet connection on their router. I would suggest you check your connection information see screenshot which shows mine with the connection over wifi using a liveusb. You could also check the speed of your dns servers using the dig command e.g. dig https://trisquel.info which checks your current settings ;; Query time: 2741 msec dig 1.1.1.1 https://trisquel.info which checks using the DNS server 1.1.1.1 you can substitute the DNS server of your choice and also the website url you want to check ;; Query time: 31 msec In the attached screenshots the time taken is shown near the end of the output I have had issues with DNS servers in the past which made web browsing extremely slow
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ethernet Not Working
That did it. Thanks! I have two observations: 1. After entering the command, I clicked on the network icon, and there were two options at the top: the ethernet interface name and wired connection. Clicking on either seemed to work, though I did get a notification stating that the connection was lost. 2. My internet connection is *very* slow, even though on my other setup (running macOS) with exactly the same network settings the connection is just fine. What may be causing the slower speeds?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ethernet Not Working
I have a screen recording showing me changing from primary DNS 192.168.1.254 secondary 8.8.8.8 ternary 8.8.4.4 to primary 159.134.0.0 secondary 159.134.0.2 (these are my ISP's DNS server addresses. Please note there is a comma between the two DNS server addresses i.e. 159.134.0.1,159.134.0.2 and the command to restart networking is sudo service network-manager restart. However as it is in .mkv format and 3.9MB in size I cannot attach it to this post. I can email it to you if you wish. In the meantime here are some screenshots If you click on the network icon on the taskbar and select connection information you can see your current settings, close that click on the network icon and choose edit connections select your ethernet connection and click on the edit button. Yoy will need to authenticate with your password. Click on IPv4 Settings. Under method: Automatic (DHCP) will include your router as the primary DNS server AUtomatic (DHCP) addresses only will exclude your router Under DNS Servers enter either one ip address or two separated by a comma "," see example: 159.134.0.1,159.134.0.2 These are my ISP's DNS server addresses. If you open a terminal and enter: sudo service network-manager restart This will restart your networking with the new settings
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ethernet Not Working
"I can upload some screenshots of how to change your DNS server addresses and how to have Trisquel ignore the DNS configuration on your router if that would help" Yes, please. I'm more interested in simply changing my primary DNS server address to something else, and also adding a secondary (or ternary) one.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ethernet Not Working
I don't think that that is necessarily the problem. My setup also has my router set as the primary DNS server but the configuration on the router has a primary and a secondary DNS configured which would normally be the primary and secondary DNS of my ISP. If you log onto your router you should be able to check the configuration and compare it to your ISP DNS server addresses. I confirmed on my version of Trisquel 8 that “sudo service network-manager restart” command in the terminal, does restart networking. None of the changes I made to the DNS servers had any effect until I did a restart, I suspect that a reboot would have achieved the same result. I can upload some screenshots of how to change your DNS server addresses and how to have Trisquel ignore the DNS configuration on your router if that would help
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ethernet Not Working
I suspect that my IPv4 Primary DNS server address is causing the issue because it's that of my router. How do I change my DNS server address, and also add more?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ethernet Not Working
@akito I am currently having issues with my ISP's DNS servers so as a workaround I am using Google's dns servers until the matter is resolved.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Ethernet Not Working
@Aristhopanes Open Terminal and execute the following: $ sudo ifconfig $ sudo ip a $ sudo dmesg|grep Ether $ sudo lspci|grep Ether If you can find the interface ens* or eth0 the ethernet is detected. @psion3 why are you using goog le's dns servers?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ethernet Not Working
If you left click on your network icon on the task bar and select select connection information (see attached screenshot from my desktop)

I don't have access to Wi-Fi, generally.

Have you tried connecting to the internet using wifi ?
[Trisquel-users] Ethernet Not Working
Hello everyone, I have a Libreboot T400 running Trisquel 8. My issue is that I cannot connect to the internet via ethernet. I did the following: I connected a working ethernet cable to the T400. The small light next to the port switched on. In Trisquel, it said that a wired network connection was established. I opened Abrowser and tried to access Wikipedia, but it never connected. I tried the “sudo service network-manager restart” command in the terminal, but that didn’t work. I rebooted the computer, but that also didn’t work. Could you please suggest to me what I could do to resolve this issue?
