Network dropping in and out constantly after update

[avionyx]

Hi All,

Had a shed load of package updates Yesterday and since then I'm getting constant (every 30 seconds or so) Network Management notifications of connection dropping in and out.

Dump your "inxi -Fxxxza --no-host" here and bookmark it

System: Host: avionyxpc Kernel: 5.7.0-1-MANJARO x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 10.1.0 Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.18.5 Distro: Manjaro Linux Machine: Type: Desktop System: Gigabyte product: Z87X-D3H v: N/A serial: <filter> Mobo: Gigabyte model: Z87X-D3H-CF v: x.x serial: <filter> UEFI: American Megatrends v: F9 date: 08/25/2014 CPU: Topology: Quad Core model: Intel Core i7-4770K bits: 64 type: MT MCP arch: Haswell rev: 3 L2 cache: 8192 KiB flags: avx …

The connection does actually seem to be temporarily dropping for perhaps a second. Not enough to cause major issues but I've noticed If I'm sending a slack message it'll sometimes fail etc.

It's just incredibly annoying and there's obviously something wrong. Have tried changing the cable etc and there's no other network issues in the house.

Any pointers of where to look or anyone having similar issues?

Many thanks!

Hello,

You are on unstable branch? Issues are expected to be present there. As about networking, see this

Kernel 5.7 final still has broken networking

Hi After its final release, Kernel 5.7 (Manajaro Unstable) still has no working networking for me. I can also see (ip a), that I have an eth0 AND enp5s0 device - up to kernel 5.6 eth0 got renamed during boot to enp5s0 - the 5.7 bootlog also shows, that this happens and it shows, that NetworkManager tries to connect to eth1 which doesn't exist - my entries in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ have no explicit mentioning to use either ethX or enpXs0. Any Ideas?

If you are on stable branch, then please use a stable kernel and wait on using 5.7 till will be better.

You can also remove the "bogus" network connection that got created after installing the 5.7 kernel, and only use the connection you had previously.

Thanks for that @bogdancovaciu
I did a search for 5.7 network issues and hadn't found any. I'll go back to 5.6.15-1 and wait for a while.

Apologies for the unnecessarily noob thread. My bad! You live and learn.

Is perfectly fine to have questions and try new things
No need for apologizes.

@avionyx

You live and learn.

Every day! hehehe

Been running on 5.6.15-1 again for 20 minutes now after a restart and no network pop ups. Thread marked as solved. Thank you Bogdan.
