Hi, tried posting my question on another forum (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1317...os-but-cant-in) but have not found an answer.
Apparently many have been in a similar boat (eg, https://forum.manjaro.org/t/no-ether...l8125/37122/24).
Briefly, I am a noob who is trying to activate r8125 driver offline to get Ethernet internet on my "Try Ubuntu" Live USB (Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS) so that during installation on a new computer, it will auto update and add all the necessary 3rd party stuff.
My kernel is: 5.4.0-42-generic
Both the opensource r8169 & nouveau drivers have chip errors recognizing my Ethernet and Nvidia Graphics.
My ethernet is "UNCLAIMED"
I tried several methods such as:
a) using bluetooth tethering to my phone and tried activating USB Wifi adaptor
b) to blacklist r8169 and ./autorun.sh r8125 according to instructions such as here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1259...rking-on-20-04
and https://forum.manjaro.org/t/no-ether...tl8125/37122/4
And https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comme...hernet_issues/
Although I did NOT change my kernel at all.
I grabbed the driver from: https://www.realtek.com/en/component...press-software
But using the README instructions, such as extracting the tar.bz2 contents resulted in:
b) to unzip & load a dkms package, such as described here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=262120
sudo cp -R /path.to/source/ /usr/src/r8125-9.003.05
It also says command not found
I tried using the command in each parent/child dir as well as manually using the paths of each.
I am not sure if I can't do this with a "Try Ubuntu" Live USB...perhaps it may be easier to install the Ubuntu on the new computer offline then try to load the r8125???
For example, if doing a process above requires rebooting, wouldn't the Live USB "lose" all the modifications?
I am thinking that the answer may be here:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/974/...ternet-offline
But it is awfully confusing and I don't want to screw up
Please help. Thank you.
