drivers
Hello,
Is this the issue you are having since
upgrading some components or is this happening ever since you have installed
linux?
Are you running linux on the laptop it-self or are you running it
via virtualization software like virtualbox, qemu, vm ware and
similar?
Which linux distribution are you running?
Which desktop
enviromment do you run with orca?
How did you configure networking?
Do
you have network connectivity when connecting other device to the same cable
or are you dualbooting other operating system on the same machine where
network access is working?
If you are dealing with wired connection I think
you just have to plug the cable in.
To see status of your network
connection you can start by clicking on the network manager applet in the top
pannel or finding it via desktop overview, menus and similar.
Some handy
commands you can execute from your favorite terminal emulator app to try to
find out what's going on are
ip addr
retrieves ip addresses assigned to
your network interfaces
ip route
retrieves routing table of your
computer. From that you can see what is your gateway usefull for getting on to
internet.
By using these commands you are checking whether you are
connected to the local network. If you are definatelly connected then you can
use utilities such as ping, traceroute and tracepath to diagnose basic
networking issues however that is similar for any operating system you may
run, so by moving further you can either try to run
ping 8.8.8.8
to see
whether you do have some internet access or not.
Or alternativelly you can
verify the internet access is working using another device or operating
system.
Greetings
