Awww, one of them thinks they learned something…

Those people are the other fascists. You can’t be a part of the problem without being part of the problem.

Thanks for the info, I’ll read through the docs and hopefully get this up and running again in the near future. Fortunately, nothing here is mission critical and I can still use the machine with VPN active. Getting resolv.conf back in working order appears to be the right solution.

My nsswitch.conf file looks identical to yours, so nothing to edit there.

I also looked at my resolv.conf and systemd\resolved.conf files.

resolv.conf is a symlink, but is the only file with anything un-commented in the file:

# This is /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf managed by man:systemd-resolved(
8).
# Do not edit.
#
# This file might be symlinked as /etc/resolv.conf. If you're looking at
# /etc/resolv.conf and seeing this text, you have followed the symlink.
#
# This is a dynamic resolv.conf file for connecting local clients to the
# internal DNS stub resolver of systemd-resolved. This file lists all
# configured search domains.
#
# Run "resolvectl status" to see details about the uplink DNS servers
# currently in use.
#
# Third party programs should typically not access this file directly, but only
# through the symlink at /etc/resolv.conf. To manage man:resolv.conf(5) in a
# different way, replace this symlink by a static file or a different symlink.
#
# See man:systemd-resolved.service(8) for details about the supported modes of
# operation for /etc/resolv.conf.

nameserver 127.0.0.53

Yes I believe that Mullvad routes you to their DNS server so that explains why it works when connected to VPN. If I attempt an nslookup when NOT connected to VPN it fails and the server it attempts to contact is 127.0.0.53. When I connect to VPN the nslookup succeeds, and it uses the same server address.

I then disconnect from VPN and ping the ip address that I just looked up (I chose etsy) and the ping goes through so this seems to be a DNS lookup issue. Is 127.0.0.53 the right server address? I would expect it to use my DHCP server address of 192.168.x.x format.

Thanks for the tip. If I bypass DNS it does appear to work so that’s likely the problem. I need to figure out why now and I think it has something to do with a local DNS override of some sort.

I checked and everything was still set to the defaults, which makes sense as I didn’t change anything. Regardless, I deleted the connection and re-made it with the same results. No network connectivity outside of my LAN unless I have a VPN active.

Settings are:

Security: WPA/WPA 2 Personal IPV4 using DHCP DNS: Automatic Routes: Automatic IPV6: Active (but unused) with DNS=Auto and Routes=Auto

I did also try resetting the network using the Reset button to no avail.

I may just end up reinstalling the OS if I can’t figure anything out.

Yeah, but Dunkin for coffee??

And now he’s about to become president of the USA.

Around here the churches require you to submit your personal finances so that they can tell you how much you need to tithe in order to attend services.

My daughters (public) school choir had to pay $2500 to rent a church for their winter performance last year. Well, didn’t have to, but the teacher wanted a different space than the school and apparently everyone thought that was an acceptable amount of money for a 2 hour performance. I was pretty upset when I learned the cost.

As the other commenter said, any US citizen can get a passport card. They also double as a Real ID for federal identification.

Ok thanks for the direction. I’ll check there.

I am using Mint Cinnamon. Are you saying this is a setting I can turn on?

I’m looking for something to display briefly with the current song info when I make an adjustment, without having to click into anything.

Edit: I’m back home and looking at this now. Yeah, the info I want is in the volume slider when I click. I want this to briefly appear in an overlay when I, say, change the volume so that I can quickly address my curiosity when playing a video game, for example.

Is there something that does this? A song is currently playing, and this is all I get when changing volume.

Windows gives something closer to what is in the volume setting in the taskbar after clicking on it.

“continuous ripple effect”

Soooo… a wave?
