I am newby to ubuntu, trying to install ubuntu-server 20.04. During my 1st installation, the network was working good. Per my memory, there was a "enxxx" item at Network Connections page, but I deleted it somehow when I was messing with it.

For some reasons, I have to reinstall the system, but this time I can't find the item indicating the ethernet card. Worse, I can't get any tool since no access to the Internet after installation, say, sudo apt-get install ifconfig is impossible.

I hv tried edit the netplan /etc/netplan, as the answer suggested. also I'd checked the bios, the mac of the ethernet is there.

Please advise how I can solve this issue, or any hint is most welcome. Thanks.

btw, the newly-installed system even doesn't know auto command.

the regular network connection page

I can find the ethernet controller with sudo lshw -class Net but can't make it work.

lshw -class Net

for better understanding, here is my lshw -c network and netplan

This assumes that you're installing Ubuntu Server 20.04...

Confirm that /etc/network/interfaces (if it exists) contains only this:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

Confirm that /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf contains this:

[ifupdown]
managed=false

We'll change /etc/netplan/*.yaml...

cd /etc/netplan # change directory

ls -al # find the filename

sudo pico the_filename_shown_above.yaml # edit the file

Change this:

# Let NetworkManager manage all devices on this system
network:
  version: 2
  renderer: NetworkManager

To this:

# Let systemd-networkd manage all devices on this system
network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    enp0s3:
      dhcp4: true

Save the file.

sudo netplan generate

sudo netplan apply

reboot
