Hi folks. New issue here with my Leap 16 installation (on a XPS Laptop). I have suddenly connection issue. It worked and suddenly started popping up an error message: “Failed to download metadata for lvfs: network is unreachable …” I did some research on the lvfs but all looks good; I assume it has to do with the network settings. Any good idea how to fix it? Looks like I cannot even ping a server. … Appreciate all help!
Does this relate to wired or wireless network connectivity? When did it stop working? If Wi-Fi, you haven’t accidentally disabled it by a Fn key?
Some basic IP checks you can do to assess if you have a local network address…
ip addr
reach the router…
ip route
ping a well-known internet address…
ping -c3 8.8.8.8
ping -c3 google.com
I assume that you are using NetworkManager to manage the network connectivity? If so, show
nmcli d
Anything in the connected state?
You can copy the requested output to a text file on a memory stick and share via an internet connected machine if necessary.
Please, also check the following two items –
systemctl status NetworkManager.service
cat /etc/resolv.conf
- “/etc/resolv.conf” should be a symlink to “/run/netconfig/resolv.conf” …
Thanks deano_ferrari and dcurtisfra for your response!
Here’s the story: It’s working now! I have no idea what happened. I did a fresh install (for dual boot with windows) when the issue popped up. With this new install I played around with some normal settings (font etc.). I swear I did not touch the network setting stuff 
.
Whatever, all good now … beside I cannot set up the printer which was no problem when I did the first install a couple of month ago. It’s honestly frustrating not see a logic behind all that stuff … but I’m trying to learn …
All good. If you need help with getting the printer working start a new topic, provide the relevant details, and I’m sure someone will be able to assist. (Most modern network-connected printers need little in the way of configuration.)
