Public bug reported:
Hi Folks!
I’ll admit to being somewhat of an ‘advanced neophyte’ so please pardon
the errors in my reporting.
Creating a brand-new system:
Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A-DS3p
CPU AMD FX-8320 eight-core
Memory: 32 GB
What I am trying to do is remove the ‘bad’ r8169 driver for the Realtec
NIC and replace it with the ‘good’ r8168 one from the Realtec site,
following Googled instructions
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2346164 . Also have only
Ubuntu 16.04 installed, not a dual boot. Reason is the wired
communications do not work even though appears to be connected.
Backing up a bit, I attempted to install 18.04 but it failed – several
times. Failure might be because I have a solid state drive (plus a HDD)
and didn’t know had to manually create a /boot/efi partition. I did
notice the option to do updates during the installation was grayed out.
Eventually gave up and installed 16.04, eventually
getting/seeing/deciding to do something about the efi partition. (All
my previous installs on other machines just work, so you guys do a great
job!)
Oh: I also don’t have working USB 2.0. Some of the installs it worked –
keyboard and mouse active. Last few seemed to be dead. Fortunately the
USB 3.0 portion is working. I haven’t checked that issue out yet,
figuring easier to get the Ethernet working.
OK, try to give a semi-knowledgeable report….
Please include in your bug report all of the following items, the
first three of which can be obtained from the output of gcc -v:
* the exact version of GCC;
* the system type;
* the options given when GCC was configured/built;
barry@NZXT:~/Downloads/r8168-8.045.08$ gcc -v

(Hope that means something to you folks!)
* the complete command line that triggers the bug;
Well, that detail seems to make more sense with the ‘compiler output’ section
(next). “r8168-8.045.08” is the extracted driver from Realtek:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
==>
LINUX driver for kernel up to 4.7 8.045 2017/9/15 101k Global
* the compiler output (error messages, warnings, etc.); and
I attempted a few different ways to get things going. Here are the
results:

OK, thanks, and hope this can fix something. I’m going to continue to try to
get something working here.
