[SOLVED] Problem with youtube, LQ, facebook,etc in -current

soulshadow · 05-24-2013, 05:41 PM

Well, if it's ONLY a problem when using the 3.8.13 kernel then it's most likely related to the kernel. You could try recompiling the 3.8.13 kernel yourself or it could just be a driver issue in the newer 3.8.13. Have you checked your logs and dmesg for any errors? Either way, if 3.2.29 is stable, works, and does everything you need then I would just stick with that for now. Maybe try the next kernel upgrade when it hits -current. If you read through enough slackware changelogs you'll notice a lot of "sticking with older kernel because newer kernel is too buggy" type of entries.

You've only answered one of my questions. What happens if you try to ping the offending domains? Do you get a response? Have you tried to change your resolv.conf?

I just installed the 3.2.45 kernel and it's all back to normal again. No issues, can play youtube videos and post to LQ

So I' m guessing it's the new kernel not getting along with something.

I'll check the logs

cesarion76 · 09-24-2013, 10:49 PM

Just switched to -current (from 14.0) and still the same problem

I can't post to LQ from the PC, so I'm using my android phone for replays.

Used every browser (firefox, chrome, konkeror, Seamonkey) and is the same thing.

When I enter www.facebook.com it won't load the page . If I delete the cookies, the next attempt loads the page and a few updates but nothing more.

On www.youtube.com the selected video just won't play.

Going back to kernel 3.2.45 isn't an option I think.

Can this be a kernel alone problem?

jon lee · 09-25-2013, 09:38 AM

Obviously they're making some changes to the google kernel/prism.

Edit: A pretty good place to look would be xtables, but you could do a diff and find out for sure.

frankbell · 09-25-2013, 08:57 PM

I have no problems accessing those sites in --Current.

Try traceroute, as in

Code:

traceroute youtube.com

It may give you some hint as to where along the way the connection is failing.

Afterthought:

Try starting your browser from the command line, then going to the sites. It's possible some useful error messages will appear in the terminal.

This post MAY be a duplicate. I made a post but it never showed up. Anyway, trying again:

Are there any web sites you CAN get to? You do seem to be getting DNS answers.

Can you show your route table with the "ip route show" command and the "ip route get 173.252.110.27" commands? Your empty traceroute suggests a lack of a default route. Try "ip route rep default 192.168.1.1" (assuming that is your gateway) and see if that helps.

Can you try a connection directly by ethernet instead of wifi? There might be too-small MTUs on the wifi AP.

Edit:

Also try this web page: http://slackware.slashusr.com/isos/

I had the same glib error (post #5)
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-a-4175476903/

I also had problems with clementine because of glib.

Now if you notice, one of the requirements of consolekit is dbus-glib.

I'll leave the rest to conjecture...

maybe it's a problem with your gateway/router: please post the present output of

Code:

netstat -rn

and

Code:

That is very odd outpuf to traceroute, as it does not identify any of the hops.

I would expect to see something like this:

I found a thread on the Ubuntu forums about this sort of uninformative output from traceroute and it suggested trying the following; you may need root privileges to do this:

Code:

traceroute -I -n facebook.com

I think there's something wrong with your network configuration: have you configured it in more than one way? If you use network manager you shouldn't add any configuration to /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf or other files.
I say this because I see double routes in your routing table...

you said that your adsl modem is 10.0.0.2, but it seems your gateway, that also seems to give you your address and through which your traffic seems to flow, is 192.168.1.1: which kind of device is this? can you describe your network topology a little bit deeper?
