Hello garuda fans
For the last week, i’ve been experiencing an issue with my DNS, where it stops working for a second, works fine for another couple of seconds, then fails again, etc. I’ve managed to narrow down the issue to my system, as I booted another mokka install on the same PC and everything works fine there. It’s very noticable as sometimes I try to load a website and i have to spam refresh until it loads.
I noticed that if I spam-use traceroute, it sometimes throws a DNS error:
jeredek@GarudaPC in ~
❯ traceroute google.com
google.com: Temporary failure in name resolution
Cannot handle "host" cmdline arg `google.com' on position 1 (argc 1)
Sometimes, it stops in the middle of a traceroute like this:
jeredek@GarudaPC in ~
❯ traceroute google.com
traceroute to google.com (142.250.203.142), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 _gateway (192.168.1.1) 0.675 ms 0.762 ms 0.874 ms
connect: Permission denied
Additionally, while this happens, all pings go out and return without fail or delay difference.

Powered by garuda-health 🦅
✅ System health check passed. No issues found.
Additionally:
- dmesg
- journalctl
(I had to paste them into pastebin as they are too large)
So far I’ve tried:
- Updating the system
- Changed my DNS settings to cloudflare and google
- Checked if multiple networking services are running (They aren’t, just NetworkManager)
- used IWD rather than wpa_supplicant
- Re-mounting the e1000e driver
- Disabled IPv6 (which my ISP doesn’t support)
Please, if you have any idea let me know, I’ve been at it for a week and I’m out of ideas.
EDIT:
I’ve also managed to notice that any traceroutes and tracepaths inside of my LAN network work fine, but as soon as i try to traceroute google.com or 1.1.1.1, it fails in the same way.
It also doesn’t matter if I use sudo or not.
I do not have a firewall enabled.
The current contents of my resolv.conf files are:
# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 8.8.8.8
The results of dig -x 8.8.8.8 @8.8.8.8 act the same way, it resolves fine but sometimes it fails.
