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!

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

If you have no *.yaml file in your /etc/netplan directory then you might
not have any networking setup. If you have no networking setup, it might
be you are not connected to your router by any means?
To check your current settings, use 'ip a' and 'ip route show' at a
command prompt. This will give you a view of you current setup, i.e. ip
range and gateway etc, if you have any, which you probably haven't.
If not then create one as '99_config.yaml' with your specific details.
If when you did the 'ip a' above, you got info, great, if not you will
need to get the ip range info from your router. You could do this by
setting up dhcp first (not sure why you don't want to use dhcp, it is
easier). The yaml file for dhcp would be;
network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
ethernets:
enp3s0:
dhcp4: true
where enp3s0 would need to be the device name returned by 'ip a'.
probably the second stanza of that printout. Once dhcp is setup, you
will know the network details you need to setup static addressing.
Your yaml file for static would be along the lines of (but not with the
10.10.10.0 ip range or the eth0 device name);
network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
ethernets:
eth0:
addresses:
- 10.10.10.2/24
gateway4: 10.10.10.1
nameservers:
search: [mydomain, otherdomain]
addresses: [10.10.10.1, 1.1.1.1]
Change the device name and ip details above to match your own. Or ask
again when you know more details.

Yup, the /etc/netplan directory was empty. But, I had a working network.
I guess without a .yaml in the directory, the network is defined by a
full-on DHCP process.
But, taking in your comments below and some of the terse explanation I
found in searching the interweb, I built a 01_netcfg.yaml and
populated it ... then `sudo netplan apply`
`ifconfig` showed me I had my new, static ip.
Then with trepidation, I rebooted.
The network came up with my new, static ip.
Success!
I can only guess what the difference between 01_netcfg.yaml,
55_netcfg.yaml 99_netcfg.yaml might be. In reading the man
pages,I believe later ones can override options set in earlier
ones. Too complicated by half.

But most of the hits in web searching seemed to imply there would
ALREADY be a yaml file -- set up for the default DHCP. I had no
such file after my install -- so I was worried I would get cross-

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

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,
