Re: Mint 21 losing internet connection
Maybe I missed it, but did you try the newer kernel suggested?:

Re: Mint 21 losing internet connection
This is my very last approach. I think if we are trying to debug the current issue with several approaches, it might not be a good idea to upgrade the kernel in the middle of debugging, don't you think?sleeper12 wrote: ⤴Thu May 25, 2023 7:47 am Maybe I missed it, but did you try the newer kernel suggested?:

To me, it seems that this issue should be solvable and looks like an unreasonable issue to be present.
Mint 21, is one of the recent ones, the one I can update to is 21.1.
I hope this is a solvable problem but now I am lacking of ideas. I have tried (besides the newer kernel) to use everything.
Looking forward to your help in that matter. If there is someone on the forum who could find cavities we are missing or another approach, please let me know.
Re: Mint 21 losing internet connection
It's your choice, but a newer kernel would do no harm since you can always return to your previous kernel in Grub, Advanced Options.

This is a very annoying problem.

Re: Mint 21 losing internet connection
well schwarzchild...given you've tried seemingly everything else, why are you seemingly against trying newer kernel?
If you find the newer or newest kernel either doesn't resolve the problem or makes anything worse, you can always boot from a your current ( which would then be considered a previous one) and one and remove the newer or newest kernel.

Re: Mint 21 losing internet connection
Na, you're cool and did everything on point as far as I can tell via others' reasonable instructions/suggestions. I'm just sorry I haven't any good ideas to help at the moment.
Beyond just simply ensuring more simple hardware stuff maybe just to rule it out.
1. disable any VPNs if applicable.
2. power off that pc, then the router, then the modem ( if modem and router are not separate units/devices...then powering down that " gateway" as its often called old school..will suffice)
3. power back on only the modem first if separate vs router. give it 90 seconds or whatever full time it takes before all normal lights come on and turn correct colors for proper internet =working/being delivered.
4. power back on router, if separate device, wait the appropriate time ( usually for me it's a good 90 seconds maybe slightly less )
5. then power back on PC.
If things work as they should, then turn back on VPN(s) ( one at a time testing uncached sites ) .

Thank you for these ideas and for trying to solve them with me
Unfortunately, nothing worked. All of the manual solutions didn't work and more importantly the suggestion across this whole thread, i.e., commands and else.
To me, it seems that there is a solution because it has to work in the end don't know why it is so hard to find the root of this issue or a solution itself.
Re: Mint 21 losing internet connection
Well I'm unsure how long of time you want to give other forum members a chance to chime in. I'm guessing the most common 20 ish I know off of memory are pretty busy this evening.
If no one else chimes in with something different or better.. Then let me ask you this
Two more questions
1st question =
Does your wifi AND physical ethernet connection ( as in that patch cord plugged right into that PC ) work normally and completely without any settings changes other than typing in your password for the wifi?
Last Question = Do you recall if you had to do anything special to have both the physical ethernet connection and your wifi working correctly?
If the answer is no, then some setting adjustment and/or update may have caused the issue and a clean install may end up being the only solution if all else fails IF..and only if the answer to that Last Question is no
I always have hated in the past starting over from scratch in Linux ..especially when I forgot to make notes on how I set up anything and everything and how to manually backup everything including my keyboard shortcuts aka
keybindings
, cinnamon desktop, and /home backup.Thus I am 99% done with my own personal

I think it does1st question
I did not. The ethernet cable is just plug in into the workstation. The wifi adapter was installed before, but after the upgrade the system does not see it, hence I can use only an ethernet cable to connect.Last Question
In general, this issue is only on this linux device. The internet connection wifi/ethernet cable work well on other devices mac, windows, and linux (i.e., notebooks, laptops, mobiles)
Re: Mint 21 losing internet connection
Upgrade? Does this mean you didn't start with Mint 21 or 21.1 and you you were on a previous main version of Mint such as the 20.x series, and did the upgrade per official site instructions / aka via Update Manager if applicable?The wifi adapter was installed before, but after the upgrade the system does not see it, hence I can use only an ethernet cable to connect.
Or was this originally a clean install months ago before you noticed this problem began? Sorry to sound nitpicky, just trying to narrow something down here.

Re: Mint 21 losing internet connection
Noooo ... please use the driver that is hardware compatible with your system. I just mentioned it to give you an idea and example that some driver that comes with kernel MIGHT not work well with your machine.
