For some reason my wired connection in 18.04 suddenly stopped working. Wifi was fine. I spend 24 hours trying everything to get it back, including factory resetting the router, changing network cables, and reinstalling Xubuntu many times. After fighting with Acer's buggy secure boot system I managed to get 18.04.1 installed but STILL no wired connection.
I tried removing the driver module and adding it back but still no change. Then I tried suspending my laptop and waking it up. BINGO. Wired connection came on as it was supposed to. I don't know what the bug is but it hasn't been fixed and on my hardware at least Wired Connections are broken by default. Only after suspending does it seem to fix itself. Hope that helps devs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752772 Title: r8169 ethernet card don't work after returning from suspension To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1752772/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
