When i update with pacman or garuda-update the internet connection brakes for the whole PC, for example: when I try to update the connection brakes on Garuda and the update stops and won’t come back, then I reboot to my Windows 11 on the same PC and the problem is still there. Then I reboot the router and the internet is back.
On the first boot of Garuda, always, I can’t update - the update doesn’t start. Then I reboot and it works. But that was in the past. Now no matter how much I reboot the update won’t finish.
Hi there, welcome to the forum.
Please post your garuda-inxi as requested by the template.
LAN or WLAN?
Error messages and/or logs?
It’s not a good idea to ignore a problem forever instead of fixing it. If issues occur that you cannot resolve yourself within a short time, then it makes sense to open a topic promptly.
In Rani i got this. This appeared also the first the issues came up. I have never seen whit pacdiff. I am not sure what I did the last time there. I am not very familiar with this part of Arch, but nothing ever broke on Arch for me before (I have been using it for 1 year maybe).
Just in case, have you already tried using a different cable?
I don’t think this is related to your issue, but consider updating your BIOS.
It is explained here:
Basically, you have to carefully merge the updates in the new configuration files into your current files, avoiding to simply overwrite your files, otherwise you’d loose your configurations.
Anyway, for the mirrorlist, this merge is not so important, because the mirrors are selected automatically during garuda-update by rate-mirrors, so we don’t select them manually.
I assume your issue is with Ethernet, as there is no WiFi adapter in your inxi output. 95% of Ethernet issues are related to cabling. I would highly suggest replacing your cable with a new high grade cat6e cable, (cat7e would be preferable).
You are currently using the r8169 kernel module as a driver for your Ethernet adapter. A better choice would be to install the following driver from the AUR, (or the Chaotic Aur, if available there).
Install:
Other things to try:
Test an alternate kernel.
Test out alternate DNS servers.
Assign your computer a fixed IP address through your router. Usually you can do this easily in your router’s config using the MAC Address association feature. Be sure you set different static IP address’ for your Linux and Windows installations to avoid conflicts.
Another, one of the problems of running Linux concurrently with Windows, is that Windows often causes conflicts with Linux at the hardware level. Be sure fast boot/fast startup is disabled in Windows and in your bios. Ensure that any power saving options for your Ethernet driver in Windows have been disabled in the advanced driver properties in the Windows Control Panel. These type of conflicts often occur when Windows is used on the same computer as Linux. That is one of the reasons we highly discourage dual booting with the disease carrier Windows.
Another method to fix Windows conflicts when it arises is to fully purge all power from your motherboard. To do this, shut down your computer completely, then unplug all power sources from your computer. Allow the computer to sit a few minutes with no power, then press and hold down your computer’s power button for 20 secs. This should drain all residual power from your mobo. This method often helps when Windows is interfering with network components when booting Linux.
There a lot of other suggestion I could give but that’s enough for you to work through for now. Search the forum or Internet for any terms you are not familiar with, and do yourself a favor and drop Windows like a hot potato.
