Loose the internet every time computer goes into sleep mode. Not Fixed!
« on: May 27, 2019, 03:10:14 pm »
Hi Everyone!  I recently upgraded from Peppermint 5 to 9. 
Now, every time the computer goes to sleep there's no internet connection when I wake it.
I have to reboot or shut down to get it back.  Other devices work fine on WIFI so I know it's not the modem/cable.
I am up to date on system updates as of ten minutes ago.
Any suggestions?

I've had this before, in past versions of Peppermint and other Linux distributions. I use a WIFI dongle, so I usually just unplug it and plug it back in and it comes back. Of course, if it's built in WIFI, that makes things more complicated.  Logging out and logging back in doesn't turn it back on? Sometimes, that works with resetting stuff, other times it doesn't.

I have a separate modem/router connected by cable.  Even though the desktop Linux computer can't connect, all other devices in the house can.

What happens if you deselect Enable networking in the network manager right-click menu, then enable it again?

Yesterday I installed all of the system updates and today it seems to be working.  Perhaps one of the gurus in the ether fixed it for me.  Will watch it today.

Many a time on my computer over the years, especially on other Distros, I have racked my brains to nearly death, trying to solve as to why my computer will do as it's told one day, but going to do the same thing again the next day, it does not wanna know? Then you search the Internet for answers and nothing there as a way of an answer, then you do a reboot, or shutdown your computer for a while, boot it back up and voila it works, what you've been trying to do and nearly chucking your computer out of the window the day before, cause it wasn't having none of it. Strange when this happens. ;D

Not only is Peppermint an addictive OS to use.

I guess the Spirit of Linus Benedict Torvalds is watching over me.  The system seems to have healed itself.  Thank you to all the Code Warriors who monitor this stuff!

Well, the patient is not healed but is better.

 Now I loose the internet only every few days and must reboot.  It's driving me nuts.  >:(

Any things I can try?

Have you tried switching to the MATE power manager ?

I tried to install and launch MATE Power Manager.  It did nothing.  It seems MATE is a family of apps/programs and they are not installed on my box.  I'm a bit afraid of installing the entire package as I have no concept of what it all does.

No DO NOT install the entire MATE desktop environment .. just the MATE power manager.

I take it you installed mate-power-manager, uninstalled xfce4-power-manager, set mate-power-manager to autostart, then rebooted before testing ?

Do you need instructions to do this ?

Installed MATE Power Manager.  Uninstalled xfce4.  Clicked on Launch for MATE.  Nothing happened.  Re-booted, repeat on trying to launch MATE.  Nothing happened.  Can't figure out how to set MATE to Autostart.

If you've already done:
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install mate-power-manager
then
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get remove xfce4-power-manager xfce4-power-manager-data xfce4-power-manager-plugins
Now go to:-

Menu > Settings > Default Applications for LXSession > Core applications (tab)

Change:-

Power Manager: xfce4-power-manager

to

Power Manager: mate-power-manager

exit the LXSession configuration app

Reboot. <-- IMPORTANT

The power manager in the system tray should now open the MATE Power Manager instead of the Xfce Power Manager.
