... is it the same if you try on live session with any version of MX (official iso rather than your snapshot) ?

...That's a good catch ... I installed r8168 because ... That's why I suggested (on "05 March") to try on live session, too. (... and particularly with an official iso, not a ...

IMO, it's possible that the fault lies in between the kernel and your Realtek Gigabit ethernet hardware rev and the r8168 driver that supports it.

Network: Device-1: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet vendor: Lenovo driver: r8168 v: 8.048.03-NAPI
port: 3000 bus-ID: 03:00.0 ...

I have a few more details on this issue. First I completely removed all docker containers, this is the quicksysinfo:



System: Kernel: 5.16.0-3mx-amd64 x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 10.2.1
parameters: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-5.16.0-3mx-amd64 root=UUID=<filter> ro quiet splash
Desktop: KDE Plasma ...

So in the middle of using the wired connection, it simply deactivated. I tried to install the 5.16 Kernel from Popular Apps but I'm only being offered 5.15 and I'm already on 5.15:

When I click on the Testing Tab, it sends me right back to the Popular Tabs, somehow the Testing Tab ...

Did the BIOS update and assigned a permanent ipv4 address, first test looks promising, if it fails again I'll try the kernel update. The many fake interfaces might be from docker containers?

Thank you all !!

When I switch from WiFi to the Ethernet Wired Connection for the first time after a reboot, the Wired Interface immediately configures and I'm good to go. When I disconnect the wire and use WiFi some more and then later reconnect the wire, the ip configuration takes a long time and eventually fails ...

I agree. It's so rude that these people automatically decide to treat customers as if they're stupid, uninformed and don't care about things. I got that email too. If ever there was a time for email and vpn providers who treat customers as decent and intelligent people it's now; same for browsers ...

Fantastic, this worked, thank you all very much. I'm amazing at the enthusiastic and friendly help in this forum! Not sure why kde decided to have a checkbox for 'connect automatically to network' and then runs the reconnection with a user that doesn't have the privileges to reconnect ..

gpgv gets stuck at this cosmetic warning and never finishes, I have to CTRL + C to end the program. Does this mean the signature was verified successfully ? I guess I was waiting for an explicit msg confirming that the sigs are indeed valid ..

Ahh ok, that is highly unusual. It should proceed ...

I now installed MX Linux KDE on a ThinkBook 14 G3, WiFi didn't work out of the box and I had to manually install the drivers via https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89 (are those drivers that could be bundled with MX for easier out of the box connectivity?)

Even though `connect automatically` is ...
