[SOLVED] Unable to connect to network after upgrade

Hello,

I can't connect to both wired and wireless network types after having upgraded my system.

EDIT:

I removed all the unnecessary pieces of information from this post and am including my findings instead:
It turned out this problem was related to the latest Unbound update. As a temporary workaround, I've done the following:

If you have write-protected /etc/resolv.conf in the past, you need to use the command

# chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

before you attempt to edit the file. Once you're done, you can make it immutable again by using

# chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

In this file, I've commented out the nameservers 127.0.0.1 line and uncommented Google's nameservers (nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4) instead. For IPv6, check this part in the documentation.

Hope it helps someone,
AV

dhcpcd is not sufficient to get a wireless connection.  It should be for ethernet, however you've not show any result/output from attempting that (yet you claim if fails).

Follow the wiki to get reconnected:

Ok, I think I found the culprit. I edited my initial post and will come back if I have anything else to add.

Once again, thanks Trilby and anyone else who was willing to help
