How to restore internet connectivity to U 16.04.5 desktop?

All of a sudden, the desktop cannot access the internet either wired or wireless. It can see other machines on the local network, can read/write files on other devices, which can read/write files on the affected desktop. Other machines happily cruise c-space, but my desktop remains chained to the dock. I suspect a corrupt file, but can't fix it without internet access. Tried the repair option from the grub launcher without success. Don't like the option of reinstalling from a live CD. Am I missing something?

  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. If it were me I'd stick to basics (and I use commands, so it's where I'd look). Is your networking recognized by system (sudo lshw -C network) though I suspect this is fine. I'd next ip link to display some network info, ip addr to see if IP address has been obtained. If you already know your access point address, I'd ping it, eg. ping 10.10.30.1 (if that address was it), then I'd ping google-dns using address (and not name) ping 8.8.8.8. It maybe these all work (networking is good), but DNS fails, if so ping google.com will fail when 8.8.8.8 works

  • Thanks for the comment, guiverc. I tried your suggestions and everything looked OK except it's still not seeing the net.

  • Were you able to ping your access point? Were you able to ping google via address (8.8.8.8)? If as you say everything looked OK then you are on the internet. I suspected those would work, but when you used a human-name instead of IP address (eg. the google.com) it could fail (as users rely on DNS to convert names to internet addresses) - but if that's okay as you say from comment, you have most likely a problem with your browser. Copying & pasting the responses you have would have provided me more detail, but I cannot help without detail (add info to your question please, not comments)

  • I took screen shots of the output from the commands. I'll try to upload them. Despite everything looking good, three different browsers cannot retrieve anything over the net.

  • Please don't upload photos of text, copy the text to a file, and copy (scp or walk) the file to a working machine & upload the text adding it to your question. Three browsers tells me nothing; it's best to start from the bottom (ie. (1) network connection, (2) can connect to access point, (3) can connect from ap to web, (4..) before you try testing DNS & protocols that use the connections previously tested. Browsers tell you one (or more) part isn't working but not which part. The order I've given tests one piece at a time (and test fails mean something IF prior passed)

  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. If it were me I'd stick to basics (and I use commands, so it's where I'd look). Is your networking recognized by system (sudo lshw -C network) though I suspect this is fine. I'd next ip link to display some network info, ip addr to see if IP address has been obtained. If you already know your access point address, I'd ping it, eg. ping 10.10.30.1 (if that address was it), then I'd ping google-dns using address (and not name) ping 8.8.8.8. It maybe these all work (networking is good), but DNS fails, if so ping google.com will fail when 8.8.8.8 works

  • Thanks for the comment, guiverc. I tried your suggestions and everything looked OK except it's still not seeing the net.

  • Were you able to ping your access point? Were you able to ping google via address (8.8.8.8)? If as you say everything looked OK then you are on the internet. I suspected those would work, but when you used a human-name instead of IP address (eg. the google.com) it could fail (as users rely on DNS to convert names to internet addresses) - but if that's okay as you say from comment, you have most likely a problem with your browser. Copying & pasting the responses you have would have provided me more detail, but I cannot help without detail (add info to your question please, not comments)

  • I took screen shots of the output from the commands. I'll try to upload them. Despite everything looking good, three different browsers cannot retrieve anything over the net.

  • Please don't upload photos of text, copy the text to a file, and copy (scp or walk) the file to a working machine & upload the text adding it to your question. Three browsers tells me nothing; it's best to start from the bottom (ie. (1) network connection, (2) can connect to access point, (3) can connect from ap to web, (4..) before you try testing DNS & protocols that use the connections previously tested. Browsers tell you one (or more) part isn't working but not which part. The order I've given tests one piece at a time (and test fails mean something IF prior passed)
