I have never not had any problems with Linux. I really want to improve our relationship but one of us is not doing their part in it.



After my virtual machine and dual boot ubuntu didn't work properly, I got a different distribution from a different place and installed it on my whole drive instead of a partition.
Now, again, the network card seems to make problems. I have an ethernet cable plugged in, confirmed that the cable does indeed work with a different machine, but still get epn1s0: NO-CARRIER... from ip a.
I read that it is most likely a driver issue, but I can only find windows drivers or 404s.



So:
ip a yields NO-CARRIER for epn1s0 and wlo0
lspci | egrep -i 'network|ethernet' yields Ethernet controller: RTL8101/2/6E and Network controller: RTL873BE



I really need this to work for one of my courses, since the Uni will not provide machines with super user right which we need for our security homework.



I'm lost. Please help.



Also I'm sorry for the formatting, first post here.

  • I haven't understood if that is your computer or not. Anyway, try with a different cable. If you can, buy (or get) an additional network card with a chipset not Realtek.

  • I should not be the cable, it works fine with other machines. I'm not sure how difficult buying and installing a new network card is. It is a laptop after all.
