I don’t know how long I have had this problem - maybe since last update?
Connection is via WiFi. The DHCP server is configured to provision nameservers - nothing changed there, all other devices work fine.
The problem is that no DNS names resolve:
root@osmc:~# curl ifconfig.me
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: ifconfig.me
/etc/resolv.conf contains:
nameserver ::1
nameserver 127.0.0.1
Tried reboot … don’t really know how OSMC handles networking, so don’t know where to start looking.
Help/tips???
OSMC uses connman network manager. The only idea I have is that you managed to manually configure a (wrong) nameserver although using dhcp.
Look at the file /var/lib/connman/wifi*/settings and verify whether there is a nameserver configured. If you see a line starting with Nameservers, this could be the issue since it only occurs if you have once manually overwritten the nameserver information provided by dhcp, I think.
A solution could be to remove the actual config:
- kill all wifi settings from the command line and reboot:
sudo rm -R /var/lib/connman/wifi* && sudo sync && sudo reboot
- in the
main -> settings -> my osmc -> network -> wireless menu select your ssid and connect again using the right passphrase (I know it’s tedious to enter this with the remote control)
- to be sure select
wait for network in the wireless menu and reboot the RPi
Reboot your router/modem/AP as well.
