Ethernet not working well in Ubuntu 18.04 on new desktop
Solution 1:
The solution is available at this off-SO link.
In summary, here is what I did that solved the issue.
- Inserted a WiFi USB dongle and connected to the WiFi router, and tested that internet connection is working.
- Did:
sudo apt-get update - Did:
sudo apt-get install r8168-dkmsto install the r8168 kernel driver (suppressing the r8169 driver that came default with the kernel) - Reboot the PC
- After reboot the Wired Ethernet started working.
