Network problem and cannot poweroff

burrua · August 24, 2022, 5:00pm

Hello i am new in linux, i have two visible problems : no ethernet connection (i am actually connected with USB connection sharing) and i can’t poweroff or reboot my pc

Summary

Poweroff1
(it stays like that and the fans keep on turning)

At the beginning I wanted to have a dual boot with win10 (the only OS that the computer had) I had the problems (only on linux and as soon as the installation in flahsboot), I removed windows and the problems remained. I tried other OS (Manjaro, Fedora and Mint in flashboot) and same thing. An error when I shut down my computer in flashboot Manjaro :

Thank for your attention

Not meaning to discourage you, but I would reformat the whole drive and start from scratch, and possibly save needed data to an external drive, before.

Oh, by the way, welcome to this forum!

Thank you for answer Is there a more efficient way to reformat than erasing the disk during the new installation (which I had done)?

anon11595408 · August 24, 2022, 6:26pm

Do a cold boot, after erasing all partitions, then leave as is, turn the machine off and boot from USB to do the install.

I recommend an automated partitioning. Any changes you would like to do then can be done after the installation.

Same problems, I don’t know where to look or what information to send.

Hi there again.
Regarding your networking problem, can you post the output of this command?
ip addr

And also those two commands?
sudo ip -br -c addr show
sudo ip -br -c link show

ip addr: https://clbin.com/M81TB (last is my smartphone)
sudo ip -br -c addr show:

sudo ip -br -c link show:

Your ip addr :

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

    inet6 ::1/128 scope host

    link/ether 70:85:c2:6e:57:59 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: enp0s2f1u6: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether aa:e4:1d:a9:a8:9a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

    inet6 fe80::5ec9:c4b3:57d4:dc72/64 scope link noprefixroute 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

It shows enp0s7 (your ethernet) as DOWN, so after connecting the ethernet-cable to your router bring it UP this way:

sudo ip link set dev enp0s7 up

After, check ip addr again.

From your inxi:

The right way to post would be using " symbol in post editor. Sorry for wrong instruction regarding post-editor before. My bad.

anon11595408 · August 25, 2022, 2:25pm

So it won’t react and stays down… let me check your device’s hardware-issues… be right back.

anon11595408 · August 25, 2022, 2:33pm

So, the nvidia driver for your ethernet, named forcedeth seems to be the culprit of both your issues!!

I found this, including a solution:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1551149#p1551149

Searching the web for …

linux NVIDIA MCP61 Ethernet forcedeth problem

… brings up many results with differing solutions and workarounds.

Others seem to have solved the issue by appending ‘pci=nomsi’ to the

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="some_values pci=nomsi"

in /etc/default/grub

then updating grub and rebooting.

Interesting trivia:
Even his Linux Majesty himself has been working on it.
