Yes I use a paid vpn. The system will forget that it has a hardwired internet connection. I disabled wifi bluetooth etc just to force the connection through the hardline. This issue occurs even when vpn is disabled and uninstalled, the vpn actually makes waking the connection back up easier because I can just && the console disconnect and reconnect commands and have it essentially bounce my connection. I can’t even type a sentence in this forum and post without bouncing my connection.

I had more info typed but I couldn’t post because i kept forgetting to bounce my connection before I clicked the create topic button.

This issue occurs less frequently when I am in a game (like CS2) but it does still sometimes occur.

Reboot to get the latest kernel.

How is that possible? I’ve rebooted at least 3 times today, yes Restart not shutdown or sleep, also hard resets (power off entirely) if it doesn’t update the system on reboot when it boots up from scratch I don’t know what more I can do.

5

Did you use garuda-update in terminal?

update
<or just>
upd

I think 6.8.3 or .4 is newest.

Please check with

mhwd-kernel -li

Should always be avoided.
TTY or REISUB

The hard resets were because I fat fingered my drive encryption password.

it was update and sudo pacman -Syu as well as the Garuda welcome updater and garuda-update I’ve done all of them. AND rebooted.

6.8.4-1

is the newest I had to do something so ran with manjaro for now, I like the look of garuda and the vastness of ChaosAUR, however I need to do schoolwork and I can’t have an issue with connectivity while I’m typing.

BTW Manjaro also exhibits similar behavior across both my systems. I guess that should have also been mentioned, this happens on my minipc based fileserver and my primary desktop. With manjaro I forcibly switched it to linux68 and the minipc I edited the “limited connectivity” alert to instead of popup run the command vpn disconnect && vpn connect, which was my method of fixing it.

I have yet to see if linux68 solves the issue.

Seems you must black list this one and install r8168 or try the dkms thing, I think it was posted many times in our forum. But that is not my gaming field :wink:

Hi there @InnocentBystander :wave:

Please answer all of the following questions:

Have you rebooted your router?

Have you tested alternate (known good) Ethernet cabling?

Have you tested alternate ports on the router?

Have you tested any alternate kernel, such as the linux-lts kernel?

Have you tested the alternate r8168-dkms driver?

Is your router firmware is up to date?

Do other devices sometimes experience connectivity issues on your home network?

Have you tested making a connection via wifi?

Have you tested making a connection via USB cellular phone tethering?

Is there a dual boot, multiple DE’s, or a vitual machine involved in your setup?

Other things to try:

Reset your router back to the factory default settings.

Test with a different router if possible.

Try assigning your computer a static IP address via MAC address association (through your router configuration settings).

Please post the input and outputs of the following commands:

sudo dmesg | grep -iE 'enp|eth0|r816'

journalctl -b -1 --no-pager | grep -iE 'enp|eth0|r816' | tail -n 30

ping -c5 8.8.8.8   

ping -c5 google.com

Hopefully you can resolve this issue with assistance.

I also have had some wierd snafus using VPN after the new KDE & plasma roll-outs. If your vpn has a GUI and a CLI for managing the connection, then try the CLI. I did not test properly but suspect some issue of wallet keys handling between vpn & kwin_wayland. My experience after 1st upgrade was trying to use the vpn gui & CLI status-check would show a valid vpn connection, but ports etc to the wifi connection would not open and no urls would load. After lots of package updates, the issue went away, but then I faced it again after another upgrade.

Also, if your vpn has a kill switch, turning that off for debugging will help. The killswitch will keep network ports closed off regardless of fiddling around with the network manager settings (which latter in my experience can make matters worse).

Another forum user suggests removing & reinstalling the vpn pkg. I didn’t do that yet but it sounds reasonable.
