I wanted to update to 42.1, so I dowloaded, burned an ISO 9660 CD, rebooted from the CD with “Upgrade”-option, and everything worked fine until the upgrade from the CD was finished. Obviously, the machine was still working (disk lamp blinking at intervals), so I left it running. Then the network connection died. After
some back and forth with the provider’s support, I restarted modem and router and PC.
Now, I got the message that there would be no update since the network connection (WIFI) was not running. So I ckecked my connection, that was up and running. Next I did an ‘/sbin/route’, WIFI seemed OK. Reebot, situation remained. Connected via cable, ‘/sbin/route’ again, everything seemed to be OK. Still no network connection (pinging failed as well).
I suspect that the situation may be remedied by som intelligent utilization of network manager, but there may be other ways. So any help/suggestion would be most welcome.
Remark: I could have posted the above in the Network/Internet forum, but since the problem popped up with update to Leap 42.1, I posted here.
Thanks in advance,
Jan Christian
