Trying /sbin/dhclient eth0 gives a eth0 not found. Added it to /etc/network/interfaces and removed the dummy entries, and rebooted... still the same issue.
Tried adding /eth1 as well since I have multiple NICs and nothing.
Since I'm assuming it does NOT work with the onboard NIC, what NIC is everyone using?
You need the following packages to get Wi-fi in Fienix:kilaueabart wrote:Another thing while I'm here. I haven't found a way to get Wi-fi in Fienix, but I notice that some of Christian's screen shots show what looks like a wi-fi icon in the panel to the right of the loudspeaker. Can I do that too?
Code: Select all

And of course some WiFi hardware such as a WiFi card or other type of WiFi NIC - don't remember if you already have that.xeno74 wrote:You need the following packages to get Wi-fi in Fienix:kilaueabart wrote:Another thing while I'm here.

Got on the repository and spent a while installing or upgrading 720 packages, and removing eight. This is the second time I have upgraded everything upgradable and wondered whether I should really do that.xeno74 wrote:You need the following packages to get Wi-fi in Fienix:kilaueabart wrote: I haven't found a way to get Wi-fi in Fienix

Casey added these packages to the Fienix repository two days ago. You have to install these packages above.
But I saw in your output that the repository isn't available currently. Please wait until the repository is available and then install the packages above.

It is fine to upgrade packages when upgrades are available.kilaueabart wrote:Got on the repository and spent a while installing or upgrading 720 packages, and removing eight.

I'm hoping that the packages you mention would be among those installed. Maybe getting them to work would require a reboot? First reboot (requiring the Ctrl^Alt^F3, su, "systemctl restart lightdm" workaround) didn't get internet. "enP4096p4s4 is down." Next reboot worked more naturally, but same message from the "world" icon. Fortunately Ubuntu doesn't care if enP4096p4s4 is down or not. But I'm hoping someone might throw me a hint re how to get it back up for Fienix.
That enP4096p4s4 looks like the number I always saw when I was trying to see if Wi-fi was available, but I'm not positive about the p4s4 on the end. I have obviously had some network connection as long as I have been using Fienix.caseycullen wrote:...kilaueabart wrote:I'm hoping that the packages you mention would be among those installed. ...

enP4096p4s4 would be your network connection. So did your network connection work before, but after the upgrade it does not?
Did you install the packages Christian listed or just apply the upgrades that were available?
We should get your wired networking up and running again first. Let's see if dhclient can get you back online; please enter the following into terminal: "/sbin/dhclient eth0"kilaueabart wrote:That enP4096p4s4 looks like the number I always saw when I was trying to see if Wi-fi was available, but I'm not positive about the p4s4 on the end.

As I said, I was hoping that the packages Christian listed being added to the repository meant that they would be installed when I upgraded with Synaptic, so I did not try to figure out how to install them. Now that they are no longer available via internet-less Fienix maybe there is no way to install them? A real catch-22.
I have just saved the files in question to a folder in Ubuntu, in case there might be a back-door installation procedure.
