[SOLVED] new install issues

[agent_kith]

So if you look at the section that says "eth0" and "wanlo", both are down. This means your Pi is not configured to use the network. 

When you install Ubuntu via rpi-imager, did you setup the Wireless setting? If yes did you use the wrong SSID or password or something?

Try these steps:

1. Reflash a copy of Ubuntu server for Raspberry Pi
   
2. In the settings, do not fill in your wifi details.
   
3. Insert the microsd into the Pi
   
4. Connect a network cable from your router straight to the Pi. Your router should have DHCP server running. This DHCP server will give an IP address to your Pi. Without a IP address your Pi will not be able to connect to the Internet. Double check your router that it is giving out a DHCPv4 address. (It may be possible you are using IPv6 only over at your place).
   
5. Power on the Pi.
   
6. Wait a few minutes and make sure the LED lights on the Pi is lit up. If the LED lights are up, then you will at least rule out physical connectivity problems.
   
7. Log in to your router, and look under your LAN (Local Area Network) settings. You should see a list of clients and your RPi must be in it.
   

Technically you can use wireless connectivity for this, but the WebApp do not support wifi setup yet so I would not suggest you try that now. 

If you followed the above, your network configuration (/etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml) should look like this:

Code:

# This file is generated from information provided by the datasource.  Changes
# to it will not persist across an instance reboot.  To disable cloud-init's
# network configuration capabilities, write a file
# /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-disable-network-config.cfg with the following:
# network: {config: disabled}
network:
    ethernets:
        eth0:
            dhcp4: true
            optional: true
    version: 2

So what this configuration is saying is I want to use eth0 (wired Ethernet), and it will get a IP automatically from a DHCP server.

Technically if you modify this file and use the above settings, your Pi will be connected to the Internet (bar some weird hardware failure).
