After a bit of fiddling with systemd I now seem to have one of my systems back in working order, but not the second. They were of course both fully working before the recent systemd issues. They are fairly similar in setup (only difference, besides HW, is one uses LVM and the other doesn't). However, on one I have a fully functioning network, and on the other it's only half-functioning. The problem is I don't really know where to start looking for solving this. By "half functioning" I mean: 1. I get an IP via dhcp, using wicd. Wireless network. 2. I can make full connections (SSH) to other computers on the local networkd (using IP and mdns both work). 3. I can ping www.google.com and it looks like this: $ ping www.google.com PING www.l.google.com (209.85.173.104) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from lpp01m01-in-f104.1e100.net (209.85.173.104): icmp_req=1 ttl=55 time=36.4 ms 64 bytes from lpp01m01-in-f104.1e100.net (209.85.173.104): icmp_req=2 ttl=55 time=33.6 ms ... However, what I can't do is point chromium to www.google.com and get it to download the page. Chromium says DNS lookup fails. Pacman fails stating the same reason. Point 3 above suggests resolve.conf is correct, and it is indeed pointing to the wireless router like it's supposed to. Any suggestions on where to start looking for solving this? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Perl is another example of filling a tiny, short-term need, and then being a real problem in the longer term. -- Alan Kay
