    No internet at all after using a live linux distribution (Tail)

    I have used Tail booting a USB key. When I have start again my PC, Windows 10 works correctly (connecting the internet normaly) but no more internet connection (nor wired nor wifi) on Lubuntu!


    How to fix that?


    Thank you for your help.

    Re: No internet at all after using a live linux distribution (Tail)

    What have you tried so far?
    Which forum posts did you follow already?

    We can't read your mind. What is "Tail"? Could you mean "Tails" or is "Tail" a new adult-centered distro?

    If you need steps for troubleshooting, ... https://blog.jdpfu.com/2013/03/01/li...101-networking has some, in order, to figure out where the issue may be. Often the internet is fine and only DNS has been broken. Troubleshooting the wrong thing wastes time.

    Lubuntu should not be affected by what you do with a live linux system.

    I am not a networking expert, and I think you need help from such a person, who might know what setting or blacklisting, that might affect you after using Tails.

    In the meantime, while waiting for an answer, you can check, if a live Lubuntu session can connect (at least via wired internet).

    I have tried the live Lubuntu 20.04 on a usb key : it can connnect to the internet.

    Here is commands I have typed :

    Re: No internet at all after using a live linux distribution (Tail)

    Why?
    Code:
    sudo ip link set enp2s0 down
    that turns off the NIC. No networking will happen. That assumes enp2s0 is the correct device. That certainly wasn't in the link provided.

    Assuming you've booted the OS instance you want to troubleshoot, connect it to a wired ethernet and follow the steps outlined in my link above. Report back with the actual commands AND the output.

    If you can't ping your local router using a LAN IP address, we'll head in a different direction than if you can ping 8.8.8.8. But we need facts to decide stuff.

    Please.

    @TheFu : Thank you for help.

    1) As you can see : sudo ip link set enp2s0 down is followed by Cannot find device "enp2s0", I did't really know what I was doing.

    2) I can't connect it to a wired ethernet on the system I want to troubleshoot.

    I've tried many things (from your link)

    "NON-RÉCLAMÉ" means "UNCLAIMED".

    Somehow your installed system lost the drivers for both devices.

    Re: No internet at all after using a live linux distribution (Tail)

    I also think that in a certain way system has lost drivers. But how to reinstall these drivers?

    Re: No internet at all after using a live linux distribution (Tail)

    When running Tails, did you manually go and delete stuff?
    Assuming you rebooted the system and that didn't fix anything?

    Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 is the driver you need to locate.
    It is usually automatically loaded as either r8169.ko or r8168.ko and both are included with the kernel. The card revision seems to dictate which of the 68 or 69 driver is needed. Here's mine:
    Code:
    $ sudo lspci -vk |perl -lne 'print if /Ethernet|Network/ .. /^[\w]*$/' 
    02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 0c)

            Kernel driver in use: r8169
            Kernel modules: r8169
    Note the revision, 0C. Yours says revision "15", so using r8169 would be my best guess. If the r8168 driver tries to load (check dmesg), you may need to blacklist it in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.local file. There are lots of blacklisting examples in that directory.

    The fact that those have gone missing means there is a bigger problem with your storage. Check the disk for failures. Drivers included with the kernel don't just "disappear."

    My mistake - Update: command is modprobe
    You could try doing a sudo modprobe r8169 and seeing if that loads the driver. Check that with the lspci command (get the device name), then bring that network interface up.

    Some realtek NICs need to have custom built drivers. If you google RTL8111/8168/8411 rev 15 ubuntu XX.YY, you should find any specific instructions. https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2415415 is for 18.10. I used 18.04 for "XX.YY" in my search.
