Hello All, I've been using Pep10 and 11 for a few years, on a couple of machines, as a very light user. I need to relearn the basics every time I need to do much of anything. However, I have basic command line experience going back to DOS days... I'm looking into downsizing my home office setup. I bounce back and forth between replacing my heavily upgraded desktop tower set up with either a laptop connected to a docking station and a dual monitor setup or a MiniPC. I don't play games, I have no intensive...

SOLVED!!!! Hello All, I just returned from a few days away and booted my desktop. No problems with that but I have no internet access, wired or wireless. All the other devices in the house work fine. I've reset the modem and router...no changes. Ping 8.8.8.8 is good, ping www.google.com does not resolve. I tried switching the DNS server from the ISP automatic to Google but no change. Everything worked fine 4 days ago when I shut down. Thought? ps: typing this out on a tablet really sucks!!!

SOLVED!!! with this link https://www.tecmint.com/set-permanent-dns-nameservers-in-ubuntu-debian/ short answer: 1. install resolvconf utility 2. edit /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head with desired nameserver entries!!! Jay

So I'm able to temporarily solve the problem by directly editing the /etc/resolv.conf file. However, when trying to change any network connection settings or on rebooting the computer, my entries are over written and returned to: nameserver ::1 I've edited the ethernet IPv4 connection setting to Automatic (DHCP) addresses only and added 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as the DNS servers...but this doesn't help.

I've finally had some time to do some digging (definitely a newbie in Linux) and online reading. Here are some findings - typed out on this different machine (typos are mine): /etc/nsswitch.conf hosts: files mdns4_minimal (NOTFOUND=return) dns /etc/resolv.conf Generated by NetworkManager nameserver ::1 /etc/hosts Standard host addresses 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters This host address 127.0.1.1 jollymon

When looking at my unaffected laptop running Pep 10, I see these differences: /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 127.0.0.53 options edns0 /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 aspire5

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the cheat sheet. I dive into Linux so infrequently that I need to relearn the basics each time. Next time...Pep12!

Sorry, I updated to Pep 11 a few weeks ago , no issues until now

Cavy, Thanks for the suggestions. I believe most of them were incorporated in the installation I was able to complete....finally! As you noted, I had initially downloaded the 32bit version. I downloaded the correct version and the install went smoothly! I had to reformat the m2 sda and SSD sdb so I lost all my data, but that happens... I've partitioned and formatted sdb into a single drive that I intend to use for my data, as soon as I remember how to do that. I've got the drive mounted, via fstab,...

OOOOO, I found that this has been asked before....noob mistake. I'll go get the info needed and will repost!!!

I'm installing this in the same partition, over the previous Pep 10 install, that worked fine for a number of years, until a week ago. Thoughts?

Hello All, I'd been using Pep10 for a number of years but recently something was apparently corrupted and I was unable to close the picture viewer without just shutting down the power. The program repeatedly reloaded the same picture over and over. After I restarted the machine, I received a boot error that I was unable to get past. I recently learned that Pep11 had been released (Big Thanks to the new development team) so I decided I might as well load up the new version. I've tried this three or...
