Can ping 8.8.8.8 but no internet access - Manjaro linux

Question

Wel I'm a manjaro linux user and I hadn't updated it for probably months, I use version 233. So I recently updated with this command:

sudo pacman -Syyu

But after the update the screen locker was broken and I couldn't log in to a graphical environment, so I tried to fix it in a virtual terminal, but I had network problems so now I use live-media and I'm trying to fix it via chroot. But now I still have network problems: I can ping 8.8.8.8 but not any website, and I fail to download any package or refresh my mirrorlist. When I type this:

systemctl restart NetworkManager

or

systemctl restart NetworkManager.service

I get this:

Running in chroot, ignoring request.

So I need your help.

Answer 1

If by "website" you mean "I can't ping anything by name rather than by IP address", it means you have a broken DNS configuration.

Check if your NetworkManager configuration overrules DNS settings. If it does not, then check if /etc/resolv.conf contains a line that starts with nameserver and that contains a DNS IP address. If not, either fix the NetworkManager configuration, or your resolv.conf.

Answer 2

Please update /etc/resolv.conf with nameserver entry as follows

sudo vim /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Then restart network. If this works consider adding the nameserver entries in your interface setting to avoid doing it manually each time after connection establishment.

You can change interface settings either from GUI (if you've) or by editing OS Dependent configuration file.
