Years go by between the times I install a new Ubuntu/Trinty.
It is now time again -- this time to build a machine

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!

Well, setting your ip isn't specifically a TDE job, more an OS task.

If you wand a static IP, set it in the '/etc/network/interfaces' file. You can access it from the desktop if you wish but easier from the command line.

Edit the file with your favourite editor. On the line for the interface you are interested in, change 'dhcp' to 'static' then add something like the following immediately after that line (but change to suit your network);

address 192.168.1.5
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.254
