  • Wasn't Pike ready to shoot mariner and boimler out the airlock by the end of their little adventure? I think 5 is the only real choice, 12 hours is enough time i feel to move past both of their initial icy walls.

    Unable to connect 2/3 PC's to internet via tplink Switch
  • Hey, thanks for posting. The issue is not actually solved and it angers me so. I figured it might have something to do with the static ip, but I have Comcast so it literally takes a day for it to stop applying a static ip to a device. I will attempt to do this.

  • Yep All lights on the nics and switch ports are on. And as i mentioned in the post i swapped all the cables and double checked each of the ports. The cables seem to work just fine on the personal PC and swapped between all of the ports. Still unable to talk to the servers.

  • I actually had to double check the switch, turns out i do have the SG105 not the SG105E. SG105E is managed, i have unmanaged. edit the post accordingly

  • Unable to connect 2/3 PC's to internet via tplink Switch

    I was attempting to connect 3 PC's (Personal and two servers) via the TL-SG105 un-managed network switch. Beforehand i just connected one server and the personal pc into another switch i have. But i got this switch to accommodate this new server. However it seems as soon as i plugged in and turned on the new switch all of a sudden both servers no longer are able to recognize their cables. Personal PC is running linux mint, one server(the one i had before) is also running linux mint, and another server is running ubuntu 22.04.

    • Home network consists of 1 comcast gateway (modem+router combo) with two ethernet LAN ports. One ethernet LAN port is connected to a seperate switch that functions perfectly for all other devices connected to it, the other is connected to TL-SG105.

    • Personal PC can connect to internet just fine, either threw TL-SG105, or the other switch- I have attempted to plug both servers directly into the other switch and still no link.- Both servers show via ifconfig command that their respective ethernet flags indicate UP, but not RUNNING. Usually this means cable is not recognized. confirmed via ethtool command that link status is 'NO'

    • Swapped cables between all 3 devices on TL-SG105 and confirmed all cables are operational.

    • Reset TL-SG105 multiple times during each swap of cable. And restart network manager multiple times as well as turned both servers on and off again.

    Edit: I actually had to double check the switch, turns out i do have the SG105 not the SG105E. SG105E is managed, i have unmanaged.

    Linux Mint is still going strong after being my daily driver for 4 months, and I don't think i will be going back anytime soon.
  • When I was distro hopping to discover what would be my daily driver I found POP annoying to handle some of the more day-to-day tasks A lot of unnecessary fluff and handlebars around the place. I feel like Mint doesn't give you training wheels. Rather it just teaches you why things are the way they are. For example on the first-time boot PopOS. when prompting me to update some programs, it failed and crashed the package manager leaving me clueless and forcing me to open it again and sort out that I needed to update the package manager. Meanwhile, over on Mint's first-time boot, the update manager refused to let me continue with updates until I updated the package manager FIRST, then explained to me what each symbol meant and how to update things. I may have already known what everything did, but it was still far more helpful in the short term and a cleaner experience.

  • I can see that perspective, but I think the word 'beginner' still makes it sound like people want to paint Mint in a poor light. It sounds elitist ya know? Perhaps a better word for it is reliable.

  • Actually, I have had minimal problems overall. The only games I have been unable to play are those with 'Easy Anti Cheat'. But more often than not I can click install on Steam and start playing games first try just like on Windows. I do still check tho on protondb if anyone else has had issues getting the game to work just out of habit.

  • And yes I looked it up and it was the game's fault, elite dangerous odyssey can be fickle even when I had Windows 🤷‍♂️
