I have set the IP address and all but not getting connection.

Checked with lspci -vvnn and got

Searched a bit and got this : Qualcomm Atheros Device [168c:0042] (rev 30) Wi-Fi driver installation

Though it is mentioned for Wi-Fi connection, still thought of giving it a try. This is what I got :

alpha@alpha-Inspiron-15-3567:~$ apt-get update &&apt-get upgrade

alpha@alpha-Inspiron-15-3567:~$

Now what ?

  • You need to be root to use apt: `sudo su` `apt update && apt upgrade` – PhonicUK Sep 17 '18 at 19:39
  • Sudo is not working, apparently i am runnning commands without sudo prefix, Someone said here : https://askubuntu.com/questions/1076049/cant-understand-if-sudo-is-working-or-not that iam mrunning commnds from root shell – Spectra Sep 17 '18 at 19:42
  • "I have set the IP address and all" Where and how? Is it ethernet or wireless that you are having trouble with? Welcome ro Ask Ubuntu. – chili555 Sep 17 '18 at 19:43
  • @chili555 it is ethernet connection that is giving the trouble... I have perfect wifi connection. I edited the ethernet connection from netwtork connection, edited all the ip address, mask, gateway, DNS manually – Spectra Sep 17 '18 at 19:46
  • *Where* did you edit these settings? In Network Manager? In `/etc/network/interfaces` or where? May we please proofread the entries? – chili555 Sep 17 '18 at 20:22
  • From system settings > hardware > network > wired > edit > method - manual. I am new to ubuntu, i dont understand how to provide any information,should I take a srceenshot and edit the question ? – Spectra Sep 17 '18 at 20:30
  • I assume yours is a private internet address; that is, 192.something or 10.something, etc. Just tell us what the address, netmask, gateway and DNS are. Are they different from the settings given automatically for the wireless? – chili555 Sep 17 '18 at 20:33
  • ip 172.28.191.94 mask 255.255.255.0 gateway172.28.191.1 DNS 172.17.8.1 These address are for ethernet connection. For Wireless I am using/sharing my phone data,so It is different from the wired one. – Spectra Sep 17 '18 at 20:41
  • Are you quite sure the DNS is valid? Is there any improvement if you change the DNS to 8.8.8.8? – chili555 Sep 17 '18 at 20:44
  • Thats what i used when I was using windows7, wait let me check 8.8.8.8 – Spectra Sep 17 '18 at 20:46
  • Nope, no connection with DNS 8.8.8.8 – Spectra Sep 17 '18 at 20:50
