Years go by between the times I install a new Ubuntu/Trinty. It is now time again -- this time to build a machine to replace my wife's antique Win XP.
I just did the install with Trinity's CD image Ubuntu 18.02/Trinity 14.07.
I want to set a static IP for the box -- and get rid of the DHCP crap.
All the searching either shows
Make changes to the /etc/netplan yaml file -- there isn't any - just an empty directory!
-or-
"Click on top right network icon and select settings corresponding to the network interface you wish to assign with the static IP address." --- ya, well, this is Trinity.
..and, of course NONE of this resembles anything I remember from hacking my Ubuntu 16.04 with Trinity from a WAY LONG time ago.
Could someone please point me where to start?
Thank you! Jonesy
Hi
Trinity LiveCD on Ubuntu 18.04 has been configured to work with the TDE NetworkManager applet. NetworkManager did not seem to need netplan to work, so there are no /etc/netplan. You can try to set a static address using TDE NetworkManager - the icon at the bottom right.
Cheers
