Problem with network connection on Ubuntu system
Problem with network connection on Ubuntu system
I updated Ubuntu 18.04 on a HP Elitebook x360 1030 g2 with only the internal M.2 drive. The system is fully factory set up, with no third-party software installed. After the installation, a persistent error message appears: "Activation Failed - Activation of network connection failed." The Wi-Fi is functioning properly, but there’s no wired connection present. I’ve used Linux before and have some basic knowledge, yet I’m not very experienced. This is why I’m increasingly trying to explore it. The logs show errors during crashes, but I’m not sure what they mean. Here’s the error snippet...DHCPDISCOVER on enp0s20f0u5c2 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10 (xid=0xc7f42a1e). Looking for advice from the community on next steps.
Lspci should display a concise list for quicker identification of your wifi card.
List details for Anthony@anthony-HP-EliteBook-x360-1030-G2:~$ includes specifications such as LSPCI version, Intel Xeon E3-1200 v6/7th Gen Core processor, HD Graphics 620, Xeon E3-1200 v5/6th Gen Core thermal subsystem, Sunrise Point-LP integrated sensor hub, Sunrise Point-LP USB 3.0 controller, Sunrise Point-LP thermal subsystem, and various communication interfaces like CSME HECI, serial I2C controllers, and PCI Express ports.
I retrieved the ISO assuming it was current. The system details show a Linux installation with version 4.18.0-17.
it displays the kernel messages related to the iwlwifi interface, showing logs or errors associated with its operation.
Here it is summarized:
The system detected an Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 8265 device. Firmware version 36.e91976c0.0 is active. The network interface was renamed from wlan0.
