Folks
Network issue solved - I needed tdenetwork-trinity.
I can now see and connect to my (hidden) network and another network
that is presumably my neighbour's and I have installed and connected via
the ethernet device. I've added myself to the netdev group.
How do I remove the netplan installation stuff? It contains my wifi
password in plain text!! Do I just rm -rf the /etc/netplan directory or
is there a package to remove properly?
Power issue - I have tdepowersave installed and am a member of the
plugdev group.
The file /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.trinitydesktop.hardwarecontrol.conf is
root:root mod 644 and I can read it. The battery symbol shows empty
which must be wrong because the machine is permanently plugged in. It
seems that Ubuntu is not reading the battery condition.
Oh bother - now I've lost my kicker!! Time to restart tde.

1) I have no wifi or ethernet tools. The machine
is currently working
with the installation settings in /etc/netplan via the wired
networking.
Thus, if I want to use it elsewhere I cannot select wireless network
without editing the installation file(s). Network settings just tells
me that the platform is not supported and offers quite an old list of
options. What is missing from my installation?
I am using the network manager and tdenetworkmanager, which is working
fine
at 95%. I had only once an issue when I was in a hotel. and the issue
was
related to the shorewall firewall that was obviously not dynamic enough
to
respond to the hotels network
Here I would also check if I were member of the group netdev
2) There is no suspend or other power options.
As I use it as an
effective desktop that is permanently plugged in, this may not matter
but again, what can be missing?
Here I would check if I have the proper permissions for the group
plugdev
see /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.trinitydesktop.hardwarecontrol.conf
3) If I go to the power settings and try to change anything, the
display
on the laptop goes bananas with for example the nice plain blue xterm
header turned into a rainbow, blotchy characters etc. Moving the
offending object to the external screen . I've seen this before and
the
answer with an nVidia graphics card was to install the nVidia-418
drivers from the Ubuntu repository and block nouveau. Initially, with
nouveau, this happened which is why I installed the nVidia bundle but
it
happens with that as well. Could this be a confusion between the two
display controllers because the extension screen is not affected, or
the
missing power options?
I also had this bug on older Dell ... but I do not remember what was
the
solution. I do not think it is confusion between the two controllers or
related to the power option. I remember it was something different, but
can
not reach to the details.
