Suspend behavior may be dependent on S* state bios/uefi configuration -
typically it does not wake up by keyboard/mouse/touchpad.

Hi PLUG
Someone at the clinic had a question about configuring a private nameserver
that was not responding to requests.
The basic troubleshooting step, if you have access to the dig utility, is
to use the dig utility as shown below.

If you want the features that Windows offers, why are you leaving Windows?
Honest question, I've never understood why people show up in the Linux
community and start pushing for features that MS Windows already has. Would
it be more efficient just to stay with Windows?

I am sitting here with my new Thinkpad P73, and no internet.
Yesterday I had not yet shut down and removed my old computer, so the
Thinkpad was connected directly to the cable. Ethernet worked then, but
wifi did not exist. At the command line ifconfig just showed eth0 (now
called enp0s31f6) and lo

Try plugging the network cable into the Thinkpad's built-in ethernet port

The interfaces being missing is usually due to drivers, especially for
wireless hardware. The fact that the dock's ethernet interface worked on

If you've been away for a while, then you might want to read up on the new

*Supposedly* if you open up a video that is DRM protected, there is a
special module that Firefox will immediately download and install for you.
Once it installs, you typically just restart firef

BTW, the dock's interface would show up as another Ethernet port, not

Yep. It is, indeed, odd. But that is how Lenovo designed it. I am not

Model 40AN0230US. It is a Thunderbolt3 dock.

Do tell more - how is it all connected?
If it is not private - the dock's model/manufacturer would probably clear that
up.
If I understand you right two power bricks feed the dock? - The dock feeds the
laptop by TB port - that part is obvious.

Yeah, I didn't know anything about all of that with messing with the kernel
