Ethernet and Wireless problems.
Trying out Mint now irritated by the damn internet problems!
First, My Ethernet is moody AF right now i don't know why it won't connect says connecting... then drops and I've tested it, but then randomly connects gets no internet connection. Stupid shit.
Second, My wireless detects all the wireless connections even with the correct passwords it won't connect then when i try to connect it to an open wifi it connects but gets no internet connection.

Bounddyy, is this an LM18 Cinnamon 64 install?
I am having a similar with a new install. it works then it does not. internet is fine but WIFI email wont send. Errors say the server is not compliant with my set up. Yet a different laptop 6 inches away with identical OS and setup works fine, with the same server.

Re: Ethernet and Wireless problems.

Re: Ethernet and Wireless problems.
Let's get a look at your system. Copy and paste the following into a terminal.
Post the output here.
Code: Select all
inxi -Fxz
Re: Ethernet and Wireless problems.
Okay so when i copy the terminal output to a txt file on a USB it would simply display random "y" characters in the thousands so i took a screenshot instead >> https://www.dropbox.com/s/rnewm4cdmyhnr ... 9.png?dl=0TooMuchTime wrote:Let's get a look at your system.

Re: Ethernet and Wireless problems.
Perfect!
You've got an Atheros AR942 WiFi card. Open Menu > Administration > Driver Manager and see if the Atheros driver is installed. It may be the one that says recommended. You can try that driver and see if your Wifi connection improves.
You may see the one for the Realtek card too. You can try that one as well.

Re: Ethernet and Wireless problems.
The results show the wireless interface is down. Post result for You should be able to route that to a text file without issue

Re: Ethernet and Wireless problems.
I rebooted the laptop with the "alt/sysrq then the "r","e","i","s","u","b" while in the WIFI setup window and connected but not communicating. The laptop rebooted and has been working fine ever since with over a dozen different boots at different places.

There are literally only 2 drivers showing up one for AMD64 (unkown) and the 2nd for my graphics card.TooMuchTime wrote:Perfect!

okay so I tried to copy text and even screenshots whatever, whenever i copy something form my dekstop linux mint on to a USB to transfer and upload here either on my Mac or Windows Laptop they both show the disk as corrupt. I've formatted and tried 10 times but something's really wrong. FYI yes i'm ejecting it from the system before unplugging it too. so i had to take a photo with my phone and upload it...JeremyB wrote:The results show the wireless interface is down.

Re: Ethernet and Wireless problems.
See what
If the result shows TKIP under the network you are trying to connect to, then that is the problem and you would need to change the router encryption settings to WPA2-AES
Code: Select all
iwlist scan | egrep -i 'ssid|cipher'
Re: Ethernet and Wireless problems.
it states "Interface doesn't support scanning"JeremyB wrote:See whatIf the result shows TKIP under the network you are trying to connect to, then that is the problem and you would need to change the router encryption settings to WPA2-AESCode: Select all
iwlist scan | egrep -i 'ssid|cipher'
--- ALSO since this reboot the wifi is connected now but no internet connection still.
Re: Ethernet and Wireless problems.
JeremyB, I have similar internet issues as bounddyy. And your command indeed shows TKIP for the network I try to connect. How can I change my router encryption to WPA2-AES?JeremyB wrote:See whatIf the result shows TKIP under the network you are trying to connect to, then that is the problem and you would need to change the router encryption settings to WPA2-AESCode: Select all
