Problems with browser

[wyrmat1]

I have chromium as a browser but every time i go to a new web site i have to disconnect my internet and then reconnect to get to a site, this also happens when using firefox, what may be wrong with my settings

now solved by upgrading to 20.2

Hard to say without more details. Can you post the results of this command:

Code: Select all

 inxi -Fxxxrz && rfkill list && iwconfig && mokutil --sb-state 

[wyrmat1]

I p[osted reply but it does not seem to land on the thread, anyway i have upgraded to 20.2, problem still exists, when in Chromium when changing web page i need to dicconnect internet and reconnect for it to work.

[sleeper12]

Without seeing more details, I can only guess. So, check iwconfig
If it shows power management is On, turn it Off with:

Code: Select all

 sudo sed -i 's/3/2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf 

Reboot

Still struggling with internet connection problems, having to disconnect and reconnect internet every time I change a web page, using an ASUS notebook, tried all previous thread fixes to no avail, anyone with new ideas such as different browser, same issue happened on Firefox,

I'm going to assume you are using wireless. Can you try a wired connection as a test? I wonder what brand and model NIC you are using?

[wyrmat1]

NIC ?

[wyrmat1]

i cannot try a wired connection as there is no port on the notebook

sleeper12 has already requested you provide the output of

I do not see where you have done that.

The program 'mokutil' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt install mokutil

To start with, you are using an unsupported version of Linux Mint. Secondly, you need to enlarge your / partition:

Drives: HDD Total Size: NA (-)
ID-1: /dev/mmcblk0 model: N/A size: 31.3GB serial: N/A
ID-2: /dev/mmcblk1 model: N/A size: 15.7GB serial: N/A
Partition: ID-1: / size: 7.8G used: 6.4G (87%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/mmcblk0p5
ID-2: swap-1 size: 2.05GB used: 0.00GB (0%) fs: swap dev: /dev/mmcblk0p6

In accordance with the installation instructions, 30Gb should be allocated to the / partition.

In accordance with the installation instructions, 30Gb should be allocated to the / partition.

This is why I always recommend to Linux beginners to not mess with manual partitioning and just let Linux mint handle it...be it during the install or even after.

If you need more storage, save up the cash and just buy more storage. It's cheap enough these days.

As you can guess i am not a techy, i loaded linux as windows takes up to much memory for an asus notebook, i use a 16gb mini flash drive which holds operating system, when using 18 version for a number of years it was fine, i upgraded to 20 because i was getting the wi fi drop out issue when changing web pages to see if would solve the issue. It sounds like no obvious solution that i am capable of so i imagine its curtains for linux and me.

[wyrmat1]

Did an upgrade Linux 18 but now when starting can not get past password page, checked boot info and all in order as far as I can see, how do I get past this.

[SMG]

Did you mean to say Linux Mint 20? You were on Linux Mint 18.3 earlier in this topic.

but now when starting can not get past password page, checked boot info and all in order as far as I can see, how do I get past this.

If you are stuck in a login loop (you put in the correct password and it keeps coming back to the login screen), then try the advice in this post.

[wyrmat1]

Now sorted managed to load 20.3 and seems ok
