Yeah, good luck getting help with linux. You probably want to have your
network interface get it's ip address via dhcp and you want your
/etc/resolv.conf generated automatically by resolvconf. If you don't
use dhcp and resolvconf, you have to configure the dns server yourself.
You should do that only if you really know what you are doing. Look at
the file /etc/resolv.conf and see if it says it was auto-generated by
resolvconf.

This static ip system worked fine until yesterday. Been using it for 20 years.
I am thinking it may be a gateway upgrade like somebody suggested.
I will try to get somebody from the company to come help.
Spectrum just bought brighthouse, so thy are probably fiddling with everything
making those wonderful improvements.
Here is some info you asked about.
The nameserver option in the interfaces file is ignored by the gateway.
When I could log into the gateway formerly I read its nameserver and they use
their own.

So you do have a network connection then? The advice I gave you was under the
assumption that you had no network connection. When you say you have a static
IP address, do you mean you typed it into /etc/network/interfaces? I doubt that
would work. Post the output from ifconfig and the contents of your
/etc/network/interfaces file.
If the problem is what's in /etc/network/interfaces, then this should fix it
temporarily, until the next reboot:
dhclient -v `ifconfig | grep ^e | cut -d' ' -f1`
You would have to do that as root and it may be hard to type. there's backticks
or graves in there. If you're not familiar with that syntax it might be
confusing.

Hey yall,
This system is command-line only. It does not update unless I tell it to.
It uses static ip. Uses /etc/network/intepfaces.
If I send you the results of ifconfig could you perhaps figure something out.
I can access the desktop via ssh from my ipad, so the pc is connected.
What file or files can I send that would help you analyze the problem?

My theory is that an ubuntu upgrade broke networking. Do you have auto-updates
enabled?
It probably goes without saying but after you power cycle your gateway, you should probably reboot
your ubuntu machine too. And then make sure the cable is well seated on both ends. Even if it's
clicked into the jack, there can be enough play to keep it from connecting. After that, you should
run linux networking diagnostic tools. Start with ifconfig. Look for an interfaced named something
like eno1 or enp30s25 or like that. If you run ifconfig and no interfaces starting with an
"e" are listed, then your network interface is busted. Lightning strike maybe? Something
like that. If youfind an interface listed, try running dhclient on it, "dhclient -v
eno1". If that errors out, it is probably a cable or the gateway. If dhclient does not error
out, you will probably have your network back until the next time you reboot. If that is the case,
then see if your interface is listed in /etc/network/interfaces. If it is, then your problem is
probably in that file somewhere. If not, then it
'
s
in NetworkManager. If your problem is with NetworkManager, then you've got
trouble. NetworkManager is full of bugs. Actually, what you should do then is
put your interface into /etc/network/interfaces so NetworkManager will ignore
it.

Hi,
I have rebooted the router-modem combination or gateway as they call it.
I know internet is working because I am using it with this ipad.
The ubuntu pc is wired, not wireless. It is possible the cable may have come
loose,
but that would not explain why i can no longer log into the router wirelessly
with the ipad
like I could before.
Let me go check that cable tho anyway.
But I don't think thats it.

First, I would reset your router and modem. Unplug both and wait at least 30
seconds. Plug in the router first and wait 30 seconds. Then plug in the modem.
If you haven't rebooted in a while, try completely shutting down the machine
and rebooting.
If that doesn't work, try booting the Ubuntu DVD or a rescue disc and see if
you have Internet. It could be that your ISP is down and it's a temporary
outage. I know this is obvious, but did you pay the bill? If not, maybe they
cut you off.
Can you try with real ethernet? Can you plug an ethernet cable into your
machine and the router? Since it suddenly stopped working and you know your
router password, I think it's either something with your ISP, a bad router or
switch (they wear out) or a bad wireless card. You could also try plugging the
ethernet cable directly into your modem and your machine to eliminate the
router.

Hello,
Suddenly my linux desktop has no inteqnet at all. I am doing this email with an
ipad.
Wifi and the lan seem ok; the ipad has no problem connecting.
Where should I begin to find what is wrong?
Also i can no longer login to my router with the ipad.
I get this error message:
Error: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: isQCA
The router is an Arris model tg1672g.
The pc is a desktop running ubuntu.
