KDE After Standby the Network connection fails

[newbie992]

What can be done about this ?
After starting my PC from the Standby the Internet connection ist lost. Nothing helps.
I have to restart the PC in order to get Internet-connection.

I have MX21-KDE and Manjaro-KDE and Endeavour-KDE installed on my PC.
In all of them this connection problem does not happen.
I hope it can be fixed in SpiralLinux because I like the speed of Spiral . It is faster than the other OS.
Thanks.

Hi there, sorry for the trouble.

What kind of internet connection is it? WiFI? Cable?

Could you please test this vanilla Debian version to see if it behaves the same?

Thanks.

I have tested many hours now. It is too much to report the details.
The installation of SpiralLinux KDE and Xfce works, they don't install the uefi-entry correctly.
Both lose the network connection after Standby.
It is a pity because they are so fast.

I don't have the necessary energy to test another day for hours.
I go back to Manjaro KDE, MX21 KDE, Linux Mint and Endeavour KDE. They are not that fast but they work without hassles.

Thank you for your patience and help.

[geckolinux]

I understand, thanks for your time and effort.

Some feedback.

1. I found the latest Ventoy version on the Ventoy-Website.
   With that version of Ventoy, the installation of SpiralLinux KDE and Xfce is perfect. ----> Ventoy can be recommended

2. SpiralLinux works on the Laptop of my daughter which has BIOS with MBR.
   After Standby the internet-connection is there as it must be. On my PC which has UEFI the Standby loses the internet-connection.
   I installed Peppermint OS , which is based on Debian, on my PC and Standby works perfectly.

I will have a look for new releases of your SpiralLinux. Maybe in the future the problem on UEFI is solved.
BTW, including the sda1 boot partition (uefi) does not work because Calamaris expects at least 300MB of this fat32 uefi-boot partition, but Win10 creates only 100MG and for the multi-boot situation Win10 must be installed first, then the Linux distros.

Strange behavior of Calamares because the distros I mentioned ( Manjaro, Endeavour etc ) accept the 100MB uefi-boot-partition.

Hi there,

Have you tried booting both the 5.10 kernel and the 5.18 kernel?

If the problem still happens with both kernels then the SpiralLinux Cinnamon version would be a helpful test to understand if it's a KDE problem or a low-level driver problem.

Could you please post the exact version of the ethernet card you have?

When you say that there is no internet, do you mean that the network device is no longer recognized? Does it receive an IP address? What happens if you open a terminal and run ping 8.8.8.8 ?

I would need the above information to diagnose what might be going wrong.

In what sense does it not work? Does Calamares throw an error? A screenshot of the custom partitioning screen would be helpful to diagnose what is happening.

Have you tried booting both the 5.10 kernel and the 5.18 kernel?
Yes, but not everytime. Most of the time I just used the Live version which appears at the top of the menu.
The results were equally bad. The problem with the uefi-entry and the Standby was not solved by using different kernels.

If the problem still happens with both kernels then the SpiralLinux Cinnamon version would be a helpful test to understand if it's a KDE problem or a low-level driver problem.
I already tried KDE and Xfce. I will test Cinnamon asap.

When you say that there is no internet, do you mean that the network device is no longer recognized? Does it receive an IP address? What happens if you open a terminal and run ping 8.8.8.8 ?
I don't know. The network cannot connect to the Internet. There are error-messages but I need to make another try and then write them on a paper because right now they are not available.

Calamares shows an error-message. It expects 300MB partition fat32 uefi-boot, but I have only 100MB, therefore Calamares is not able to install the grub-entry.
And when I do what you suggested, grabbing the 100MB partition and marking it als uefi-boot and check the boot, then everything goes wrong, that is the worst thing to do.
I deleted my comment when that happened because I was so angry. Was not able to boot my PC , ended up in a grub something mess.
Every start of the PC went into that grub thing where no escape other than plugging the power was possible.
I don't remember how I got out of that trap but somehow I did.

How can I make a screenshot while installing ? I have no idea how to manage that. And where to store the screenshot.

Have you tried booting both the 5.10 kernel and the 5.18 kernel?

Yes, but not everytime.

I would encourage you to try to resolve the standby/resume network issue with the 5.10 kernel, which is the same kernel version that you successfully tested with vanilla Debian. By default SpiralLinux uses the 5.18 kernel, so that could be the source of the problem.

If the problem still happens with both kernels then the SpiralLinux Cinnamon version would be a helpful test to understand if it's a KDE problem or a low-level driver problem.
I already tried KDE and Xfce. I will test Cinnamon asap

Yes, your tests have shown that it is not an issue with KDE or Cinnamon. Rather, it probably an issue with the newer kernel 5.18. Please test it with the 5.10 kernel in any one of the desktop environments that you prefer.

Calamares shows an error-message. It expects 300MB partition fat32 uefi-boot, but I have only 100MB, therefore Calamares is not able to install the grub-entry.

Actually that is not an error message, it is just a warning that 100MB may be too small, but you can still proceed with the installation. I just now successfully installed SpiralLinux with a 100MB /boot/efi partition. However, given the number of different OSes that you have installed that may indeed be too small.

And when I do what you suggested, grabbing the 100MB partition and marking it als uefi-boot and check the boot, then everything goes wrong, that is the worst thing to do.

That's not exactly what I described, and my instructions were correct. It's not a good idea to do custom partitioning without understanding the concepts. Why not use Btrfs and the automated Replace a partition option?

How can I make a screenshot while installing ? I have no idea how to manage that. And where to store the screenshot.

You can use the normal screenshot tool that comes with SpiralLinux and then upload it to this forum post directly from the live session.

Hello geckolinux,
I am trying again.
Installed Plasma with default btrfs and made sure that I am booting with kernel 5.10 .
The problem is still there. No internet connection after suspend.
I cannot catch the 2 messages of the network manager, they disappear too fast, but here is the content of the messages:
ip configuration is not available
cable connection deactivated
ping 8.8.8.8 ping: connect: Das Netzwerk ist nicht erreichbar``

After restart of the PC the internet connection is there.

I searched a lot with google, but nowhere is a solution which works. Debian forums, arch forums, wiki ubuntuusers. Nothing which helps.
"sudo systemctl daemon-reload " doesn't change anything.

Do you have any idea what to do ?

[geckolinux]

@newbie992 Please post the output of sudo dmesg -T during the time slightly before until slightly after resuming.

Thanks a lot. Please try uninstalling the r8168-dkms package and then reboot.

[newbie992]

Thanks, geckolinux.
Amazing results.

Somewhere it says that the r8186-dkms package must be purged. So I did that with Synaptics.

1. Nothing changed with kernel 5.10 No internet after suspend.
2. Success with kernel 5.18 Reboot after suspend shows an "x" at the network-symbol in panel, but 1 second later the "x" disappears and there is connection. Internet works.

I uninstalled kernel 5.10 after updating all programs. Synaptic installed kernel 5.19 which is active now.
The problem with internet-connection after reboot from suspend is gone.

I installed SpiralLinux Xfce today. Same problem.
Solution as above: Purging the r8168-dkms package, then reboot.
Problem gone. Boot from suspend ---> Internet connection works.
Perfect.

Thanks again, geckolinux.
SpiralLinux is faster than all the other distros I tested. And it is stable and responsive with my 4GB RAM PC.
I had distros which are freezing when firefox or chromium plays youtube-videos and thunderbird is started or other programs.
CPU 100% and maybe heavy swapping going on. I had to plug the power to stop the drama.
