I noticed at one point dns queries were working again, so I grabbed syslog again. After a short time DNS stopped working.
At the beginning of the log DNS was *NOT* working (I know this for sure as I used ping google.com after 16:00:37) while at the end of the log DNS was "likely" to be working (because I pinged google.com and it was working, so I grabbed the log. But I can't know if it stopped working between the moment when I finished pinging google and the moment I grabbed the log) I hope this will help understand what happens between a non-working and working state. Edit: Tony had a look at the file and said unfortunately it's not enough to fully understand what's going on ** Attachment added: "syslog_works" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1580146/+attachment/4665604/+files/syslog_works -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1580146 Title: [touch] Internet connection stops working while WiFi is still connected Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: krillin, rc-proposed, r329 Description: It often happens that the internet connection stops working while the device is still connected to a (working) WiFi AP. The indicator shows that the phone is connected to the AP, here's the ouput of "nmcli d" and "nmcli c" http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/16344985/ Tapping on the AP in the network indicator resets the connection and fixes the issue, which however reappears after a while. Here's also a "grep NetworkManager" from syslog http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/16344990/ How to reproduce: I don't have a recipe, but here's what usually happens on my phone 1) I connect to the office WiFi (Canonical's HQ, BlueFin office) 2) Use browser, perform random google searches to check internet is working 3) After a while (sometimes I put the phone to sleep, sometimes I checked the Updates from system settings a few times), I go back to the browser, and it starts returning "Network Error". NM, as you can see from the logs, says WiFi is "connected" 4) At this point I use Terminal app and discover that "ping 8.8.8.8" is working correctly, "ping google.com" immediately returns "unkown host", i.e. it doesn't seem to be waiting for a timeout, it returns pretty fast.
