So I just did system updates and after I restarted the system suddenly I am getting a notification that says “Limited Connectivity This device appears to be connected to a network but is unable to reach the internet” with a wired ethernet connection. I’ve tried restarting the system, I’ve tried using the command “sytemctl restart NetworkManger.service”, I tried connecting the computer directly to the modem bypassing the router, I also tried deleting the network profile and creating a new one.
I read other threads where people claim that they get this message but the internet still works, but I am unable to connect to the internet. Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks
That generally means the pc can’t get a DHCP lease from the router, it might be just a coincidence that happened after an update or the update might be involved. Try restarting the router, then do a disconnect and reconnect from the desktop.
You could also check that the router is even responding,
resolvectl status
would show what your PC thinks its default gateway is and then from that you could ping it. It’s likely “192.168.1.1” so try pinging that
another thing that might help is to use dnf “history” feature to see what packages updated recently:
dnf history list last-5..last
would show the list of the most recent 5 dnf transactions. Suppose that makes you suspicious about the 2nd to last one, then do:
dnf history info last-1
to show the list of all the packages related to that.
