You shouldn't need to do any of this, it should work via the GUI. The only way to be sure it's a Netplan issue is to install 16.04 and see if the problem persists.
What's odd is the fact that there's people running 18.04 in this very thread and their VPN clients are working just fine? Considering the OP tried Ubuntu on two different machines you can pretty much rule out drivers as the cause of the issue and I doubt drivers are the cause of the issue anyway, sounds more like a routing issue. Of course, there is very little information regarding the OP's method of troubleshooting, as far as I can tell the OP hasn't tried any of the troubleshooting methods mentioned by the community and we still don't really know the specifics of what the OP was actually trying to achieve?
It's all very vague, I think there's a point to this thread beyond simple assistance...
I walked away from Arch altogether when they pushed package updates that hard broke the system. I don't have time to hand hold my operating system when I need to be using my computer. That's my criticism with that whole Rolling Release model. Manjaro is included. During any update, be prepared to read through the developers instructions and possibly understand code ManofGodIt feels odd defending our friend mog. He has said though he tried 2 different netplan running distros and... although I agree there is 100% a way to do what he wants of course, just the basic setup wasn't perfect. Switch to a non netplan running distro and things worked with minimal setup.
As I said I'm not trying to slam Ubuntu. Its a fine distro and people seem to like it. I'm guess it is Netplan that is causing said behaviour.. it seems to be the source of the issue imo. Manjaro as he states was click and go. I bet Fedora Suse or Debian would all likewise just be click and go for his specific setup. I like the idea of netplan and I can see how it could be advantageous to someone setting up a complicated network with mulitple private and public setups and potentially many LAN cards. (I know from experience having multi lan card systems and having to replace one requires a bunch of work... from what I have read netplan could potentially make such instances a lot quicker swap and go)
So 2 potentials as I see it for mogs issues;
1) Ubuntus use of netplan requires some sort of added setup for whatever his config is exactly
2) Manjaro is possibly running a newer version of the kernel with an included driver revision. (I tend to think its not this one however as Intel tends to be really good about getting their hardware drivers in the kernel before things ship... and Intel drivers are written by Intel not someone else) That and the newest Ubuntu LTS isn't that old... its not like it would be on a year+ old kernel or anything.
Sure its possible netplan has a bug, well i know it has bugs, but before everyone goes throwing that out there as the cause of this issue take a look at what it actually does, and dosn't do. It doesn't actually configure the interfaces, setup routes, change dns, all it really does is shove the settings its configured for into systemd-networkd or networkmanager, those are what actually deal with the interfaces. Sure it may have settings for interfaces, routes, dns, but it does not actually do any setting up of those itself, and even then only tells those services to do something if you have made changes to the yml files. the OP said he was sing the gui, so i am doubtful that netplan is even coming in to play.
Also this is not specifically addressed at the OP. Distro hopping when your run in to a problem is only going to slow down your learning of how things work. A lot of people do it, i have done it myself, more so when I started out then now. At some point you will probably learn that actually all the distros suck, just in their own special way, and you are best off just sticking with the one that sucks in the way that annoys you the least and fighting through the problems as they pop up. You will spend a lot less time reinstalling and a lot more time learning that way.

There are pros and cons to both. I figured since Debian base is getting its fair share of getting aired out, I'd point out that Arch (and therefore Manjaro) can and will intentionally break your whole system "because it's your responsibility" to read and understand every release note for every single package and change...
why would these distributions not have something as basic as IFConfig installed already? (I am quite serious about that.)
Don't get me started on that, It drives me crazy, hehe. ifconfig is considered deprecated these days. I started with unix before linux so its hard for me to let it go. It seems like my list of 'standard' tools i got to install on a fresh machine is always growing. People love to reinvent the wheel, so now we have 'ip', its good to be able to work with both, but i don't see how its better.
The thing with Ubuntu everyone I know that tries to use it as a desktop OS end up with 10+ PPAs setup to install bleeding edge versions of software with ZERO testing being done vs the distro repos. Yes its possible to install the latest greatest just released today Nvidia drivers... or the just pushed to GIT version of any bit of software if you install the right PPA. Of course then your basically just running hodge podge of old packages and bleeding edge new.
Oh I love the idea too. Don't get me wrong. Arch and Manjaro are great. Just not for me. And everyone, including OP, should be aware of the pitfalls.Manjaro isn't Arch. In the same way Ubuntu isn't Debian.
Manjaro is rolling but not bleeding edge rolling. Standard Manjaro archives are held for testing. Manjaro has an unstable repo which is basically just arch. So you can choose with Manjaro bleeding edge arch with the manjaro installer and tools... or Manjaro as its aimed at every day users. Where packages are tested for days to months as needed to ensure stability. (its really no different imo then running ubuntu or fedora where there are multiple minor versions between LTS releases)
I wouldn't argue Manjaro is a great server OS, its not. However IMO its the much better desktop OS vs Ubuntu and pretty much everything else. The thing with Ubuntu everyone I know that tries to use it as a desktop OS end up with 10+ PPAs setup to install bleeding edge versions of software with ZERO testing being done vs the distro repos. Yes its possible to install the latest greatest just released today Nvidia drivers... or the just pushed to GIT version of any bit of software if you install the right PPA. Of course then your basically just running hodge podge of old packages and bleeding edge new.
Which is why ime I say if your an average Linux desktop user planning to play games on steam, use the latest office software, you want the bleeding edge video player ect. Go with Manjaro. Things will go smoother. They push all the latest stuff after holding it for as long as need be (normally 2 weeks or so) ensuring everything works and doesn't cause issues. In the last couple of years I haven't had a Manjaro system do anything stupid for me. The only bad thing I can say is at times they hold things for longer then I like... nothing worse then waiting for them to push a major Nvidia driver bump. lol
If you need a server OS... I guess people like Ubuntu. IMO SUSE or even just vanilla Debian are better options.
I get what you guys are saying though. Distro hopping every time you run into an issue isn't a great long term solution. Figuring out why things aren't working as you expect is always the best plan of action.
Why doesn't Windows have telnet installed by default? I use telnet for diagnosis of networking issues all the time.
It's not hard to enter 'sudo install ifconfig' and no OS is immune from these issues. I also don't find ifconfig altogether that useful and can understand why it was depreciated, 'nmcli dev show [interface name]' is a far more useful command.
*Le sigh* This has nothing to do with the reason I started the thread. However, the Wireless-AC 3168 that I use in my Taichi system only has a max speed of 433Mbps and does not support MIMO. That means the best I will see is around 250Mbps to 300Mbps and I have a 400Mbps internet connection. Oh well, just a heads up, I am not going to use the power line adapters because I do not fully trust the wiring where I live. A couple of the sockets are wired backwards and although it works for power, it would probably not work for the power line adapters.
Pretty sure you derailed your own thread by not following up for the most part with what the community was asking for to help you.

Had no idea that Windows had dropped telnet, I am pretty sure it was included by default at some point 98/nt4.0 days.

Not sure what you are expecting from this? Are you suggesting this is an issue with the Linux drivers for the adapter or are you saying this is a limitation of the hardware itself? Are you wanting suggestions on better adapters that work well with Linux? You could also potentially add an Access Point with switch ports and then run a hard line to the system.
More of a verification that the information I found was correct, thanks. I will get the other information that was requested sometime this week, no problem.
Nah, just no time at this time to do the other stuff. I have not forgotten though. However, any suggestions on what you quoted or short of getting a better wireless adapter, am I stuck? Thanks.
It was disabled for security reasons. Windows is made for the lowest common denominator. Telnet is an inherently insecure protocol. You can enable it through Program Features. That said, it is simple enough to download PuTTY which is much better.
Disabling the telnet on the server for security reasons was fine, i don't think anyone would argue that. On the other hand taking out the client is annoying, it is useful for things other then actual telnet.

I don't see any issue with it. The number of people that actually need it for anything are extremely limited to the total number of users. And those that need it should know how to install the feature or get another client like PuTTY.
I'll say that I agree with both of you... and PuTTY should be included as a locally installable tool by default, if an equivalent isn't developed.
yeah, i agree it would be nice to have putty in windows default, its one of the first things I end up installing on the the few windows boxes I do use. Also since its web page is in some guys public_html dir, and i end up tripple checking i am at the right place before I download it.I'll say that I agree with both of you... and PuTTY should be included as a locally installable tool by default, if an equivalent isn't developed.
And an equivalent could just be putting that stuff into the SSH process that's available in Powershell. The client for which should be installed by default.
Hate having to do that after an install so I can remote into my Linux stuff!
We give nothing more until you give something in return ManofGod. Update! Update! We must know!Just a heads up, I have not forgotten, I have just been gaming everyday for the last 12 days or so. (I have not gamed this much in over 15 years.) It is on Windows 10 Pro but just a question, how does the high refresh rate 144hz 1080p monitors work in Linux for gaming? Thanks.
Edit: I just bought the monitor 4 days ago
Not if the VPN supports split-tunneling.When you activate VPN, the computer becomes part of the other network, unless you have two (or more) NICs in it. The acronym hints at this behavior.

I'd rather be guilty of speculating than making ultimatums. Seemed to be a safe assumption on my part, as split-tunneling is common.Since the OP didn't divulge the details until much later in the thread it wasn't safe to assume that it was an issue. Since the OP still hasn't divulged enough information to troubleshoot, I feel further speculation is pointless.
You're such a tease....I am installing Ubuntu LTS 18.04 on my HP Elitebook Folio 9480m with 16GB of ram and a 256GB SSD. I am doing so alongside my Windows 10 install and just dual booting. (Not replacing 10 at all, just wanting to have a machine that I can screw around with and now worry about losing anything.) I will run the commands once I get everything setup and post what the results are, thanks.
