I installed Ubuntu server 16.04 (my first server install; facing a problem installing 16.04 desktop) on a Dell XPS 15 9560 (2017). The laptop doesn't come with an eth port. I am using the USB-C adapter but it doesn't detect it.
How can I detect/install the appropriate driver so I could get my (Gnome) desktop up and running?
PS: On Ubuntu 17.04 it works fine.
