    Do you have more than one kernel version installed? Please edit your question to show the result of the terminal commands: uname -r and also: ls /boot | grep vm Welcome to Ask Ubuntu.

Please reboot. Using the Shift key, interrupt the boot process to get to the GRUB menu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2



Select Advanced Options and scroll down to the earlier kernel version, 4.15.0-42-generic. Press Enter to boot it.



enter image description here



Once you are booted into -42, I suspect that your networking will now work. If so, we'll reinstall -43:



sudo apt update
sudo apt install --reinstall linux-image-4.15.0-43-generic
sudo apt install --reinstall linux-modules-4.15.0-43-generic


After all is completed, reboot and -43 should now also be working.



EDIT: In our chat, we found that the ethernet driver you installed was r8168-dkms. The driver either is not signed ar not signed properly to satisfy Secure Boot. After you disabled Secure Boot in the BIOS/EFI, the driver loaded correctly and the ethernet is working.



We also found that the wireless driver was blacklisted. We removed the blacklist, flipped the Airplane Mode switch and now the wireless is also working.

  • changed boot order with grub customizer (as system working) and rebooted, now with cable connection, reinstalled -43 and now just about to reboot into that - will let you know how it all works out. Meanwhile, many thanks, you were such a great help after hours of dead ends. btw, I really like chilis and grow them in my garden. - - last word, any chance we can see about installing bluetooth...? ;-) thanks again - G :>=
