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?
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.
Hi, Slávek
Well, after the initial install there WAS a /etc/netplan. It was empty.
I did try TDENetworkManager. I clicked up the TDE Menu list > Internet > TDENetworkManager . . . . . . . and n o t h i n g happened.
So, I pursued the `netplan` process and was successful.
I see _now_ that TDENetworkManager must be the item in the system tray (with a un-understandable icon) that describes the network connection when clicked on. However, when clicking on "TDENetworkManager" in TDE Menu I was expecting a GUI to pop up with all sort of selections for me (to totally screw up :-).
Thank you, Jonesy
