Waking up the Network

without comments

Interesting problems seem to plague me from time to time. The current problem isn’t yet solved but I’m working on it. After a sleep cycle, IPV6 networking isn’t starting.

No internet

Try:

  • Checking the network cables, modem, and router
  • Reconnecting to Wi-Fi
ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED

In the broken Fedora 30 VM, I checked the status with the nmcli tool:

sudo nmcli general status

It returned:

STATE   CONNECTIVITY  WIFI-HW  WIFI     WWAN-HW  WWAN    
asleep  none          enabled  enabled  enabled  enabled

The STATE should return connected and connectivity return full. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.

There was little surprise that the next check:

sudo nmcli device

Returned the following:

DEVICE      TYPE      STATE      CONNECTION 
virbr0      bridge    unmanaged  --         
ens33       ethernet  unmanaged  --         
lo          loopback  unmanaged  --         
virbr0-nic  tun       unmanaged  --

In a working instance, it should return:

DEVICE      TYPE      STATE      CONNECTION 
ens33       ethernet  connected  ens33      
virbr0      bridge    connected  virbr0     
lo          loopback  unmanaged  --         
virbr0-nic  tun       unmanaged  --

I’m currently troubleshooting what failed by leveraging an article on How to Configure Network Connection Using ‘nmcli’ Tool and the Gnome nmcli documentation. Naturally, when I get it fixed, I’ll finish this article.
