Internet not connecting to my tumbleweed

Hello everyone,
I am new to opensuse tumbleweed. Doesn’t know anything about linux(commands). My company which is hiring me suggested to learn the distro for some devops related task.

I am not able to connect internet to it. I am connecting my phone to the computer for internet (which is connected to wifi).

Please help me get through it. Also please suggest some course around this so that I can learn in a proper way.
Thank you in advance

Welcome to the forum!

Interesting a devops role without knowing anything about Linux/Unix networking…

Instead of a coarse I think you better spend some time on learning how to search on the Internet.

For your role it might be also good to read:

Feel free to come back with detailed questions.

In general, one connects a system to the internet, not the other way around.

A general path to go when people come with the very vague: I can not connect to the internet!":

You check from bottom to top (all done as root):

  1. Is the NIC up with an IP address? ip addr
  2. Can you connect to another system on your LAN? ping -c1 <IP-address of your router> (I hope you know that address)
  3. Do you have a default route to the Internet? ip route and/or ip -6 route
  4. Can you connect to a system on the internet? ping -c1 195.135.223.50 and/or ping -c1 2a07:de40:b27e:1204::10
  5. Can you resolve host/domain names? ping -c1 forums.opensuse.org

Take care. As soon a one step fails, that must be resolved first. It is useless to go to the next step before it is resolved.

So start with 1. and do not hesitate to post the output here to get help on the interpretation.

And I guess there are many courses to be found on the web about Unix/Linux.

The openSUSE documentation is probably better than the majority of Udemy courses.

Those are not basic courses for Unix/Linux. They assume you know those already.

Things like:

  • what is a process;
  • what is the single tree of directories used for data storage and how is it build during boot (and later);
  • usage of users, groups, permissions;
  • understanding the consequences of it being a multi-user and multi-session operating system;
  • etc., etc., etc.

All those things that make Unix/Linux what it is and without knowing hem you will feel awkward in any discussions like those here on the forums. “What are these people talking about?”
