    odd networking issue - ubuntu server 19.10 w/kde

    I'm having a really really odd issue.
    s
    I'm running Ubuntu Server 19.10 on a virtual box. From terminal I am able to access the internet without issues
    I later installed KDE on the server (its been a few years since I have worked in linux and I'm trying to get my feet wet again).
    After KDE installed - I noticed that KDE itself did not seem to have access to the internet, however I was able to surf via Firefox, and I was able to ping out and connect to resources via terminal. Today there was some sort of update or something occured, and now I am unable to connect to resources from within Firefox and other apps in KDE - however I am still able to access all network resources via terminal - even when launched from within KDE.
    I have tried to configure networking in the KDE within the KDE plasma network app - but still it isn't working within KDE.


    Hopefully I can get some assistance to get this fixed up.

    Below is excerpts of the network information.
    I tried to attach screenshots but I'm not sure if they attached properly.
    And yes - I am trying to use enp0s5 interface name
    Thanks in advance

    Thread moved to Virtualisation a more appropriate sub-forum.

    Re: odd networking issue - ubuntu server 19.10 w/kde

    Are you using NAT or bridged networking in the VM? Bridged might be the better choice since it puts the VM directly on the local network. It will then get its IP configuration from the router using DHCP. In general, bridged networking makes more sense for servers since you want the other machines on the network to be able to communicate with the VM. Using NAT hides the VM behind the host.
    If you ask for help, do not abandon your request. Please have the courtesy to check for responses and thank the people who helped you.

    I will try that tonight. Being a test environment I was trying to keep it segregated from the rest of my network so I used NAT, but for the sake of testing purposes I will try bridged and see if things work properly. I just find it really weird that it works fine within terminal (even when the terminal is an app within KDE), but the software store and the network connection settings app refused to communicate. Usually if there is a network issue, it affects all network applications regardless if its in terminal or not.
