[SOLVED] Internet Randomly Stops/Starts About Every 30 Seconds

Extremely new to arch, I just installed. About every 30 seconds or so, my  internet (wired connection) will shut off. About 30 seconds later, back on. Repeat. This has been happening all day and I have checked with the same pc on a windows boot and it works perfectly, but not here. I'm not sure what information to provide so please let me know. Thanks.

Please post

lspci -knn | grep -A2 Ethernet

Have you checked the systemd journal for clues?

00:1f.6 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V [8086:15b8]
    Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V [1462:7b61]
    Kernel driver in use: e1000e
    Kernel modules: e1000e

I have not checked the systemd journal for clues yet. What should I be looking for?

Re: [SOLVED] Internet Randomly Stops/Starts About Every 30 Seconds

Probably best to use

journalctl -f

Then keep the terminal open, wait for the problem to occur, and see if anything is written then. The e1000e module should be named in the entries, I think.

I suppose you could try https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … tification and perhaps fiddle with the module options to see if they make a difference.

Nothing changed in the terminal when the problem occurred. I'll look over the sources you gave tomorrow but until then any other more concrete solutions would be preferable.

This Ethernet controller and it's Linux driver should IMHO work out of the box.

Please post the output of

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

Thanks for all the help, I just reinstalled exactly the same and it works now. No idea what was happening. Hopefully it doesn’t start happening again. How do I mark as solved?

You can edit the title in your first post, might've to shorten it a little, there's a char limit.
