Hi,
seems like a ipv6 related problem. Your DNS Lookup is v4, first ping is v6 and second ping is v4 again. Try to ping the ipv4 address of google.com. But im pretty sure this is not arch related.
Maybe you should try to disable ipv6 system wide and then check if it works.
Cheers, Robin

Hi,
I resolved the same problem 😉 on my systems I run the networkmanager and this works long time - I'm not sure but I think the problem was that systemd gets or starts its own revolver service. After disabling it and deleting the linked resolve.conf the networkmanager creates it after a restart again and it works.

In Arch it's all about IPv6 it seems, so I did not want to disable it. Instead I deleted the old resolve.conf (it was replaced automatically by systemd). I replaced one (probably wrong) reference to IPv4 with IPv6 in my config, and started and enabled the network service again.
Now pinging works for both protocols, and my internet connection went from incredibly slow to more or less acceptable.

This issue seems to be related to versions of systemd > 230, and I followed the advice in the wiki (adding a custom 'systemd-user-sessions.service' to '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants'), and the symptom seems to have gone away.
But not so the IPv6 and internet speed problems. I went to all kinds of wiki articles about network configuration, IPv6 and DHCP, and adapted my config in several places to advices from that pages, but to no avail.
Now I don't even know how to further diagnose the problem, being unable to ping IPv6 addresses and incredibly slow internet connections seem to be the only visible symptom, everything else looks just fine.
And the most surprising thing is, that it worked for one single moment, see the PS, and stopped working after the next reboot - with all what I tried to make it work still untouched and in place.
Any further tipps here? TIA

do you even have an IPv6 service from your ISP? try pinging [2a00:1450:401b:801::2004] (an address I get for www.google.com)
also, ping now has the -4 and -6 options to specify which protocol to use. otherwise, AFAIK the resolver in glibc autodetects if it'll use ipv4 or ipv6 by defult

thats the confusing thing, I more or less randomly end up in one of three situations (without changing anything), trying to ping www.google.com:
- IPv6 is tried , but takes forever and has 100% package loss (frecuent). - pinging IPv6 addresses works (very rare) - pinging pure IPv6 addresses (ipv6.google.com) results in 'network not found', but pinging www.google.com results in a successfull IPv4 ping (very rare)
So this is just an ISP problem, and the only reasonable solution is to deactivate IPv6 on my system? I'll try that.
also, ping now has the -4 and -6 options to specify which protocol to use. otherwise, AFAIK the resolver in glibc autodetects if it'll use ipv4 or ipv6 by defult
- IPv6 is tried , but takes forever and has 100% package loss (frecuent).
- pinging IPv6 addresses works (very rare)
That's strange. A traceroute with booth working v6 and not working v6 would be helpful. Also a output of your routing table would be nice.
- pinging pure IPv6 addresses (ipv6.google.com) results in 'network not found', but pinging www.google.com results in a successfull IPv4 ping (very rare)
What is rare ? The successful v4 ping ? This is easy to explain. As far as I know there is only a AAAA record for ipv6.google.com. So when there are any v6 related problem you should not able to send packets to this address. www.google.com got booth an A and and AAAA record. I am not sure how ping decides which protocol to use, but in your case it seems like you v6 network is down (maybe no routing information), so it is using v4. You can force it to use a specific protocol with -4 oder -6 switch.

Hi Robin,
I remember only one day when IPv6 really worked seamlessly. Today its completely down, so I can only deliver a traceroute with not working v6:

I have a weak WLAN and use a Fritz WLAN Repeater to enhance signal, but this my linux machine has no WLAN card, I plug it by cable into the WLAN repeater ;-)
- pinging pure IPv6 addresses (ipv6.google.com) results in 'network not found', but pinging www.google.com results in a successfull IPv4 ping (very rare)
What is rare ? The successful v4 ping ?
Yes, because (now I more or less understand what might be happening) normally, v6 is not completely down, so it is tried - and takes forever, pinging with 100 package loss. W3M webbrowsing (using google) still works somehow, but incredibly slow.
Today for some reason v6 is completely down, thus v4 is used for www.google.com, and it works (reasonable fast).
This is easy to explain. As far as I know there is only a AAAA record for ipv6.google.com. So when there are any v6 related problem you should not able to send packets to this address. www.google.com got booth an A and and AAAA record. I am not sure how ping decides which protocol to use, but in your case it seems like you v6 network is down (maybe no routing information), so it is using v4. You can force it to use a specific protocol with -4 oder -6 switch.
that explains it very well. ping can be forced to use a certain protocol, but my webbrowser doing google searches (e.g. textbased W3M) seems to always try v6 if its available.

Hi Marcel, Hi Robin,
thanks for your answers.
I resolved the same problem 😉 on my systems I run the networkmanager and this works long time - I'm not sure but I think the problem was that systemd gets or starts its own revolver service. After disabling it and deleting the linked resolve.conf the networkmanager creates it after a restart again and it works.
In Arch it's all about IPv6 it seems, so I did not want to disable it. Instead I deleted the old resolve.conf (it was replaced automatically by systemd). I replaced one (probably wrong) reference to IPv4 with IPv6 in my config, and started and enabled the network service again.
Now pinging works for both protocols, and my internet connection went from incredibly slow to more or less acceptable.
So yesterday it worked, pinging IPv6 adresses as well as having acceptable internet connection speed. Today not anymore, although I did not change anything (ok, wasn't there a kernel update yesterday?)

Hi,
seems like a ipv6 related problem. Your DNS Lookup is v4, first ping is v6 and second ping is v4 again. Try to ping the ipv4 address of google.com. But im pretty sure this is not arch related.
Maybe you should try to disable ipv6 system wide and then check if it works.
Cheers, Robin
Hello List, sometime age my msmtp imap connections just stopped working. Investigating the cause, I checked quite a lot of things, and came across the ping "100% package loss" problem:
