as you know, I have this HP Pavilion G6 laptop running Ubuntu<br>
16.04 LTS x86_64 and Windows 8 in which, all of a sudden,<br>
both wired and wireless connectivity stopped working, but only<br>
in Ubuntu, not in Windows. Details in my original thread:<br>

<br>
this afternoon I finally managed to re-download the same Ubuntu<br>
version that is installed there, load it on an USB drive, and booth<br>
from it.<br>
<br>
When the initial screen appeared (the one with the two buttons,<br>
"try Ubuntu" and "Install ubuntu"), it DID also show in the upper<br>
right corner a message saying "you are now connected via eth0"<br>
or something similar.<br>
<br>
So I clicked on "try ubuntu", to verify that I could actually<br>
use ethernet from the live image... and it's now about 30<br>
minutes that the laptop is frozen. Just the background image,<br>
nothing else.<br>
<br>
I am now going to power it down and retry, maybe in rescue mode,<br>
and will report here later. In the meantime, and taking the above<br>
as confirmation that it still is possible to use at least ethernet<br>
from Ubuntu on that hardware, I'm thinking to try one of those<br>
ways:<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Reboot from the stick again, immediately it boots you should see a screen with an icon representing a keyboard and a little man at the bottom of the screen. Hit any key and it will give you some options. Select the option to check the files on the stick. That will confirm that the image is good. <br></div><div><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

1) manually download packages to the drive, then boot normally and<br>
install them? But which packages?<br>
<br>
2) copying some networking configuration files from the live<br>
image to the hard drive, in the corresponding folders, then<br>
reboot normally and see what happens. But even here, which files?<br>
<br>
your suggestions remain very welcome, of course.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>You have absolutely no hope of success with either of those options I am afraid<br><br></div><div>Colin<br></div><div> <br></div></div></div></div>
