[SOLVED]unable to access certain websites

Omarz2012 · 2024-11-05 02:15:57

I've recently installed arch linux on my computer and have been trying to install paru but whenever I do it fails, I tried to trouble shoot and found out that I cant ping github and github pages but I can ping every other website including github docs. the only things that I have installed related to networks are iwd, systemd-resolved and Network manager while I only enable iwd and systemd-resolved.
the out put when I ping github or github pages:

ping: connect: Network is unreachable

The first thing I would do is ping github from another machine and note down the IP. Then I would try pinging the IP from your ArchLinux box to see if that works or not. If it does, then it's a resolver problem and you want to check /etc/resolv.conf (which will probably tell you to check a file under /etc/netctl instead). You could also try disabling firewalls. I don't think Arch comes with a default firewall so it would depend on what you installed.

Having said that, it sounds like you have a routing problem. Maybe include the output of ip -r and /etc/netctl/<interface> and see if we can check if you configured your gateway correctly.

github.com doesn't have an AAA record, so most likely an IPv4 issue?

ip a; ip r; ping -4 -c1 8.8.8.8

"ip a" will possibly show a publically routable address, only the first to blocks of inet6 addresses are relevant to gage what that is, you can obfuscate the rest

what are blocks?

Blocks are the parts of an ipv6 address separated by colons ":". The following command obfuscates all addresses automatically:

 (ip a ; ip r ) | sed -E 's/(\w+[.:]\w*[.:])[0-9a-fA-F:.]+/\1######/g' ; ping -4 -c1 8.8.8.8

You don't have an IPv4 lease.

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

Did you enable https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Iwd#En … figuration ?

If you fixed this by enabling iwd's network configuration you had systemd-networkd not enabled or unconfigured for that NIC, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … work_files
