Disconnected internet crashes laptop X11 or Wayland

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware

Dear all,
Thank you, every time the internet is disconnected the laptop crashes.
It freezes, reconnecting Ethernet cable or an established connection doesn’t show unless the device is switched off and on again.
I can’t even open a simple terminal, tried another kernel and makes no difference.
Thank you

Have you tried using the current kernel?

Thank you Ricklinux, i use the 6.6.30-2-LTS.
I did try 6.6.30-2 LTS fallback, which one would u suggest i try pls?
-6.8.9-archi 1-2
6.8.9-archi 1-2-fallback
6.8.9-zen 1-2 & fallback…?
Thank you

9

The current kernel.

:+1: okay, Will try that and see.
Thank you.

11

Nope, tried -6.8.9-archi 1-2, didn’t freeze but won’t launch any software - eg. browsers, vlc or any software.
Thanks

12

Have you updated lately? 6.9.1-arch1-1 is out

Edit:

This doesn’t make sense. :thinking:

13

When did you do your last system update?

14

Yes very interesting…when network is unplugged i can’t launch any software and system just freezes, quite like it is waiting for me to plug in internet and reboot else nothing will work.
(18/05/24 _Updated & i think this fixed it - even used the default LTS :+1::pray: thanks :blush:)

Dear S4ndm4n,
I run it at least 1-2 days…
yay, pacman and even flatpak update on terminal as usual.
Just updated again 18/5/24 and was able to launch software and device did not freeze without WAN. I think the update fixed it. :blush::+1:

Well i can only say there have been a number of firmware updates and also the kernel as well as many other packages. Have you also checked to make sure your UEFI Firmware (Bios) is up to date?

17

Haven’t done the latest bios update as sometimes it might mess up other programs. I tend to wait for a few months…will do it, now that you have suggested it. :+1::pray:
