From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ethernet plugged in but there is no internet. I have no idea what happened. I just took a normal update like I always do and after that it was all gone. WiFi connects no problem, but there is no internet. Unplugged Ethernet and replugged it back in. Nothing. I dualboot with windows, internet works fine there, so there is no hardware issue. Went into a live environment and chrooted into it and reinstalled network manager and still not a fucking thing. Not sure what these are now. I know about the lo one, but never seen the second wired connection or the virbr0. Any idea how to get my Internet back? I really don't want to reinstall the system because of this. And btw, I even tried a hotspot from my phone and a wire tether from it and still no internet.
System is endeavour OS with KDE on Wayland.

Fwiw, you don't really need to worry about your 192.168 address. It's local to your network. I'm also on 192.168.1.x as it's the most common internal address scheme for routers. But there are some that use 10.0.1.x or other variations.

We would need to know the external IP address that your ISP gives you to do anything with it. That should definitely be blocked out entirely if it appears in a screenshot or command output.

....that's the valid response, does ping www.google.com work and curl www.google.com return a bunch of text?

If ping www.google.com doesn't work then your system isn't using the correct dns server, though your local dns server works (as seen by the prior dig).

If curl works then...you have a working internet connection, maybe check the browser settings for proxy or something.

I'm doing another chroot and I will reinstall the whole plasma desktop to see if that works. If not, I'm nuking the fucker and starting over. Best part of Linux, these fucking random issues.

why would reinstalling plasma fix anything?
