  • Yes I believe that Mullvad routes you to their DNS server so that explains why it works when connected to VPN. If I attempt an nslookup when NOT connected to VPN it fails and the server it attempts to contact is 127.0.0.53. When I connect to VPN the nslookup succeeds, and it uses the same server address.

    I then disconnect from VPN and ping the ip address that I just looked up (I chose etsy) and the ping goes through so this seems to be a DNS lookup issue. Is 127.0.0.53 the right server address? I would expect it to use my DHCP server address of 192.168.x.x format.



  • I checked and everything was still set to the defaults, which makes sense as I didn’t change anything. Regardless, I deleted the connection and re-made it with the same results. No network connectivity outside of my LAN unless I have a VPN active.

    Settings are:

    Security: WPA/WPA 2 Personal IPV4 using DHCP DNS: Automatic Routes: Automatic IPV6: Active (but unused) with DNS=Auto and Routes=Auto

    I did also try resetting the network using the Reset button to no avail.

    I may just end up reinstalling the OS if I can’t figure anything out.



















  • I am using Mint Cinnamon. Are you saying this is a setting I can turn on?

    I’m looking for something to display briefly with the current song info when I make an adjustment, without having to click into anything.

    Edit: I’m back home and looking at this now. Yeah, the info I want is in the volume slider when I click. I want this to briefly appear in an overlay when I, say, change the volume so that I can quickly address my curiosity when playing a video game, for example.

    Is there something that does this? A song is currently playing, and this is all I get when changing volume.

    Windows gives something closer to what is in the volume setting in the taskbar after clicking on it.
