Hey there, I’m looking for some help with my Arch system that I updated today.

So a little context here: today, I updated my system with the usual -Syu. However after the update I kept getting pop ups that told me my LAN connection was not working or something ( I use gnome). Wifi was still working.

Now, I since rebooted in hopes the popups would go away (in a sense, they did…), I do not have any access to the internet, I tried everything I can think of (wifi only, wired only, usb tethering with my phone) but nothing works. I still get the wired icon in gnome even though the cable is unplugged.

I am having trouble finding help with the Reddit blackout (convenient timing lol) and it is pretty hard for me to attach logs and such since my computer has no network access at all, I’m relying 100% on my phone…

Any help is appreciated 🙂

    Thanks. I tried that before I saw your comment and I downgraded 2 network related packages (networkmanagwr applet and networkmanager openvpn), but that did not work. I saw the kernel got updated so I downgraded that but now my system doesn’t get past the boot screen. I’ll try again tomorrow and I’ll probably just install vanillaos to still have access to the AUR but on a very stable base and with good defaults. I had tried doing a ping but it just immediately said no host found or something like that. Sorry if I am vague, I don’t remember exactly and my computer doesn’t start anymore loll
