 Posted: Tue Jan 07, 2014 7:08 pm Post subject: Hostname Lookup Failures |
 |
|
Hello all,
I am having trouble with my connection at the moment - over wifi and direct connection. When I run emerge --sync it will come up with '!!! getaddrinfo failed for 'rsync.uk.gentoo.org': [Errno -2] Name or service not known' but will sync anyway.
Most of the time I can download via portage, but occasionally it will fail to find the server. Also, if I try to browse through konq I get a lot of an 'unknown host' errors. This does not happen at all via chromium which I suspect (perhaps wrongly) that it's because it uses a web service to help resolve navigation errors.
I have tried various different configurations with my hosts and net file with no joy.
My /etc/resolv.conf is as follows:
| Code: | domain home
nameserver 192.168.1.254 |
/etc/hosts
| Code: | | 127.0.0.1 gaz-pc.home gaz-pc |
/etc/conf.d/net
| Code: | config_wlp10s1="dhcp"
config_enp12s0="dhcp" |
Any ideas?

Hi,
What does ifconfig give ?
Also, can you try to resolve a webname from the commandline, for example by using ping google.com ?
Alex. |

Hello Good Sir,
I think I may have jinxed myself; Chromium is starting to suffer. Either that or it's these forums.
I can ping www.google.co.uk

I've just tried emerge --sync again after compiling it without ipv6 support and it still produces the same error.
Could it be anything to do with my kernel?
gaz@gaz-pc ~ $ cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep "IPV6"
CONFIG_IPV6=y
# CONFIG_IPV6_PRIVACY is not set
# CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF is not set
# CONFIG_IPV6_OPTIMISTIC_DAD is not set
# CONFIG_IPV6_MIP6 is not set
CONFIG_IPV6_SIT=y
# CONFIG_IPV6_SIT_6RD is not set
CONFIG_IPV6_NDISC_NODETYPE=y
# CONFIG_IPV6_TUNNEL is not set
# CONFIG_IPV6_GRE is not set
# CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES is not set
# CONFIG_IPV6_MROUTE is not set
CONFIG_NF_DEFRAG_IPV6=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_IPV6=y
CONFIG_IP6_NF_MATCH_IPV6HEADER=y
I have also noticed that dhcpcd is run like so:
| Code: | | /sbin/dhcpcd -h gaz-pc --noipv4ll wlp10s1 |
could that have anything to do with it? I am running wicd by the way.
