Prerequisites courtesy:
- I have reviewed the upgrade guide and post-upgrade troubleshooting guide
- I have reviewed the board FAQ
- I looked at similar topics before opening this one
I upgraded from F32->F33 last night (Cinnamon DE), and now various system apps are having trouble with internet connectivity.
- I am no longer able to connect to my VPN provider via the Network Manager. The VPN Type is a pre-made OVPN file. When I turn it on, it just stalls at “Connecting”.*
- I cannot check for updates, neither via Gnome Software nor
dnf update. The former just spins during “Refreshing”, the latter gets stuck at 0% on the progress bar that displays while checking the various repos. It never times out, however, and I have to break out of it via Ctrl+C or Ctrl+\ to make it stop. - Firefox will not load any page. Again, it does not throw an error like it would if I tried opening a page with WiFi off, it simply stalls infinitely while trying to do the domain lookup.
Not all programs are having this problem. HexChat, Thunderbird, and even Falkon seem to work fine, and on Falkon I can load the same URLs that Firefox is failing to load. I was able to get Firefox to work agains by enabling DNS over HTTPS in the settings, which is just throwing the effort onto a third-party provider, from what I understand; so it’s not really a permanent fix.
Troubleshooting So Far
*Here is what I see regarding the VPN when I try to connect and then run journalctl -r:

resolvectl seems to be able to query:
[admin@malebolge ~]$ resolvectl query fedoraproject.org

[admin@malebolge ~]$ resolvectl dns
Global:
Link 2 (wlp2s0): 10.0.0.1
10.0.0.1 is the correct IP to hit my router.
[admin@malebolge ~]$ resolvectl domain
Global:
Link 2 (wlp2s0): ~.
I can’t tell from the above command if I’m literally supposed to put “domain” in there or substitute a domain, e.g. fedoraproject.org?
Finally, resolve.conf looks correct for systemd-resolve (based on my googling, anyway):
[admin@malebolge ~]$ ls -l /etc/resolv.conf
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 39 Jan 16 22:00 /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf
[admin@malebolge ~]$ tail /etc/resolv.conf
#
# Third party programs should typically not access this file directly, but only
# through the symlink at /etc/resolv.conf. To manage man:resolv.conf(5) in a
# different way, replace this symlink by a static file or a different symlink.
#
# See man:systemd-resolved.service(8) for details about the supported modes of
# operation for /etc/resolv.conf.
nameserver 127.0.0.53
options edns0 trust-ad
With a working browser and e-mail client, I can still get work done, but I still want to get this resolved as soon as possible, as it would be hazardous if I am unable to update my system any further. I’m looking for further troubleshooting advice. I don’t know enough about DNF to be able to post relevant logs here to demonstrate the updating problem, but I’ll follow any commands provided.
Thank-you in advance!
