Hi everyone, I need help.
I installed a minimal Trisquel 9.0 setup with no desktop environment. My idea was to install AwesomeVM without any pre-installed DE.
All was fine but when I rebooted and the shell opened, I had no internet connection.
Command "sudo ifconfig" tells me that I only have "lo" module loaded, no Eth0, no enp1s0, nothing else.
I tried using my mobile connection with USB tethering but it cannot be recognized.
Seems like my Realtek ethernet 8111 card kernel module is not loaded and ethernet connection is not recognized.

Has someone any idea of what can I do? Chaosmonk?

Could you tell us what kind of mobile phone you use? It needs kind of courage.

Perhaps try reinstalling the netinstall and changing the kernel you choose when installing. That might help with the ethernet drivers maybe?

yes I thought about that but I don't know which kernel I should install. I tried with the latest one, the 4.15.0-74-generic, I can also choose between signed, generic, hwe and others, and I don't know the differences.

OMG Beko, it worked.

The solution was to install the "linux-image-extra-hwe-16.04-edge", which not only installed all the required ethernet Realtek modules but also support for NTFS which was not installed with the Linux-generic kernel.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
