Public bug reported: I am unable to install regular packages from Ubuntu repositories through Plasma Discover front end, throwing the error "no network connection available" It's also unable to search and install updates throwing the error "cannot refresh cache whilst offline" at startup.
However, snaps install just fine, and I can also install packages through apt or Synaptic package manager. From what I gather after a google search, it's a conflict between packagekit and networkmanager on Ubuntu.
