 Posted: Wed Dec 13, 2017 4:11 pm Post subject: How do I report a bug? linux-firmware fails to download |
 |
|
Hey everyone. I'm really frustrated with this, I can't make a bug report because I have absolutely no idea how to!!! I've looked EVERYWHERE and I've made myself an account on bugs.gentoo but I still just cannot figure it out!!!
Can somebody please show me how to do this? Or just make the bug report for me? I'm on the verge of pulling my hair out, why is there not a "Report bug/report problem/etc" button???
| Code: |
sudo emerge linux-firmware

For me url 'http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/linux-firmware-20170314.tar.gz' is resolved without problem, the problem is your connection settings (I think)

kenny_w,

That's probably you. It looks like your /etc/resolv.conf has been eaten by a grue.
Try | Code: | ping 216.58.213.110
ping google.com |
If the first work but not the second, you don't have any name servers.
If neither work you have other network problems.

Great... neither are working, so what does this mean??? What do I have to do? Please I just wanna get my stupid laptop to work so I can actually use it 
um... so now its working since I switched off of the static IP I set up, I popped it into automatic and now its downloading linux-firmware in emerge...
WHY? What can I do to make my static IP settings work like the auto connection??? I don't understand why its doing this :/ I'm using networkmanager+nm-applet
I've never encountered an error like this before on any other Linux distro... What do I have to do to make my static IP settings work???
edit: so for some reason upon rebooting now my static IP is pinging the IP address and google.ca |

How you've configured your network (manual, networkmanager,...)?

kenny_w,
You must use exactly one tool to configure you network.
