From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I can ping my gateway, nameserver, Google DNS 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1, but it freezes on 4.4.4.4. I even get really good latency, too
No one can ping 4.4.4.4, it doesn't answer pings.
This seems like a dns issue, check
cat /etc/resolv.conf
and try setting the dns server in Networkmanager to "8.8.8.8".Or, if you were already using 8.8.8.8, switch to 1.1.1.1.
My resolve.conf has this only
What do I change in here?
That seems correct, don't change anything in there, try the command
dig @<routerip> www.google.com
ornslookup www.google.com <router ip>
if the dig command is not found.Here is the dig command Dig command
Fwiw, you don't really need to worry about your 192.168 address. It's local to your network. I'm also on 192.168.1.x as it's the most common internal address scheme for routers. But there are some that use 10.0.1.x or other variations.
We would need to know the external IP address that your ISP gives you to do anything with it. That should definitely be blocked out entirely if it appears in a screenshot or command output.

....that's the valid response, does
ping www.google.com
work andcurl www.google.com
return a bunch of text?If
ping www.google.com
doesn't work then your system isn't using the correct dns server, though your local dns server works (as seen by the prior dig).If curl works then...you have a working internet connection, maybe check the browser settings for proxy or something.
I'm doing another chroot and I will reinstall the whole plasma desktop to see if that works. If not, I'm nuking the fucker and starting over. Best part of Linux, these fucking random issues.
why would reinstalling plasma fix anything?
Nameserver should be the IP of your router.
But you should check/set that with nmtui, then NetworkManager overwrites that file itself.
So I need 2 nameserver? One for the IP and one for the DNS?
You only need one. Standard is to use your router IP as local nameserver.
If your internet provider has issues with name resolutions, which happens sometimes, you can instead set 8.8.8.8 (Google's nameserver) or 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare's nameserver). But then you can't ping other devices in your local network by name, and loading websites can be a tiny bit slower.
Do I put the ipv4 address in there or the ipv4 default gateway? Because I see these two and they're not the same IP. Now, I have the ipv4 default gateway in resolv.conf
On a home internet with just one router provided by your internet provider, your router is the gateway and the local nameserver.
So you can put the ipv4 of the router in everywhere it asks for default gateway or nameserver.
DNS turns a domain name into an IP which can then be used to send data through your router, a dns server is the server which is used to do this conversion (www.google.com turns into an IP 1.2.3.4 (that isn't the actual IP of google)).
There are many dns servers, normally your local devices use your router as the dns server, which forwards it to your ISP which they further transfer it over global dns servers.
Alternatively you could use Google's DNS server (8.8.8.8) or cloudflares DNS server (1.1.1.1) but if the one on your router works then just use it.
nameserver is the same as DNS server
Tldr: set the router IP as your dns server, you only need this one.
With a few more words: set the router to use 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 and then set your computer to use 192.168.1.1 (or whatever your router's IP is). Hope that is clearer for anyone who needs it.
I put my gateway there. Fuck, man. This is so stupid and annoying.. I'm about to fucking nuke the whole fucking thing. I'm running out of patience. Why the fuck would they push a hardware update that fucks shit up like this?
I set nameserver 1.1.1.1 and also 8.8.8.8 and still nothing.
Did you restart your network connection?
