[SOLVED] Updated & Rebooted, Lost Networking

PolishHurricane · 2013-11-30 01:30:05

Hi, I hadn't updated in a while, let alone reboot, so I ran pacman -Syu, rebooted and now I have no networking. It's possible that I hadn't rebooted since early spring. I ran these commands, but I got nothin'

[root@localhost pacman.d]# ping -c 3 www.google.com
ping: unknown host www.google.com
[root@localhost pacman.d]# ping -c 3 8.8.8.8
connect: Network is unreachable
[root@localhost pacman.d]# lspci -v
[root@localhost pacman.d]# netctl
-bash: netctl: command not found
[root@localhost pacman.d]# netcfg
-bash: netcfg: command not found
[root@localhost pacman.d]# ip link set eth0 up
[root@localhost etc]# ip addr show dev eth0
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
link/ether 00:14:3e:df:cb:37 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet6 fe80::206:3eff:fecf:cb37/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
[root@localhost etc]# ping -c 3 8.8.8.8
connect: Network is unreachable

I'm not sure what I should check to fix the networking issue. Does anybody have any suggestions or know if there is a place I may be able to configure something?

Thanks

Arch does not take well to neglect. Seriously, if you are not going to update for months, choose a distro that is happy with that.

What was updated exactly? Did you deal with any .pacnew/.pacsave files or other messages provided by pacman? Did you check the News?

No no, I updated a week or 2 ago, I just didn't reboot for months, *I think*. Yes I try to deal with pac files and check the news.

Actually, I just watched it reboot and it says...

Arch Linux 3.10.9-1-ARCH (hvc0)
localhost login: [ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device sys-subsystem-net-devic...ti-user.
device.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for dhcpcd on multi/user.
[ OK ] Reached target Multi-User System.
[ OK ] Reached target Graphical Interface.

Do you think I might need a network driver now?

Then why is your kernel so old?

WonderWoofy · 2013-11-30 04:57:28

I am going to guess that you are booting into a kernel that doesn't match the modules in /usr/lib/modules.

PolishHurricane · 2013-11-30 05:28:38

It's a VPS service, no idea. Any way that I could fix it or you guys think I'm screwed?

See... this kind of thing is probably an important point to bring up in the first post.

PolishHurricane · 2013-11-30 06:35:56

My apologies, what did you deduce from this fact?

jasonwryan · 2013-11-30 06:43:22

WW is making the point that you omitted to mention the most important piece of information...

Arch is all about giving the user complete control; running on a VPS means that you give up a lot of that control, therefore it is very difficult for anyone else to understand what may have gone wrong with your setup. You have some debugging to do. Start with pacman's log.

PolishHurricane · 2013-11-30 08:40:17

Only thing I found that looked like it would have any affect would be this...

[2013-07-21 19:50] [ALPM] warning: /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/00-dns.sh installed as /et
c/ppp/ip-down.d/00-dns.sh.pacnew
[2013-07-21 19:50] [ALPM] warning: /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/00-dns.sh installed as /etc/
ppp/ip-up.d/00-dns.sh.pacnew

I don't recall copying this over.

PolishHurricane · 2013-11-30 08:58:46

Yes, I understand this. The problem is I don't think I copied it over then. I copied it over now and I still get nothing. I guess my information is useless then?

Thanks

What does "copied it over" mean? For .pacnew files your are supposed to do a merge...

In any event, if you want help you'll need to provide more info (both for yourself and anyone reading this) about your setup. How was networking previously configured? What else was updated in that last pacman log? Have you got backups of your data?

PolishHurricane · 2013-11-30 18:34:44

I didn't modify the original, so no merge required I assumed.

I'm just going to install the most latest release that I can install. I had that one setup since October 2012.

Thanks All

mrinx · 2013-11-30 18:36:28

Were you using netcfg/netctl before? If not, how was your network being configured?

Edit: I don't want to sound mean, but why are you using Arch?

You don't get .pacnew files unless you modified the original. If you didn't modify, pacman installs the new default.

Is it true? In every cases? I actually had the same /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/00-dns.sh.pacnew file some time ago, I'm 100 % sure, that I didn't modify it. Maybe something else did, but I don't have any idea what would do that.

This is indeed how it is supposed to work. Though I do remember getting this as well, and I don't use ppp at all. So in this instance, maybe something went arwy?
