You are referring to /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf, right? The whole file is commented on my system.

Let us see: $ timedatectl status

Try to execute the following command in a terminal: $ timedatectl set-ntp false

trisQuel is still communicating with the ubuntu servers. NTP servers are necessary to synchronize your desktop clock. Find a way to disable Internet synchronization on your desktop environment (something like "Time and Date" in a "Control Center"). there is guides for the mode-setting in USB to tell "ubuntu" that a given USB 4G modem is a modem and not a harddisk. Follow them: Trisquel 8 is based on Ubuntu 16.04.

Yes, the wpa backport is part of the same commit as the network-manager backport, so I assume it is only there as a dependency of the newer network-manager. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

For those who have neither their system online nor the lower versions of the packages on their disk, these packages are attached to this post. Bring them somehow (a pendrive, for instance) to the offline system, where, in a terminal, you will move them to /var/cache/apt/archives (here assuming the files are in the working directory): $ sudo mv network-manager_1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.3_amd64.deb wpasupplicant_2.4-0ubuntu6.6_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives Then, chaosmonk's commands will work. Well, except that he forgot to mention that NetworkManager must be restarted at the end: $ systemctl restart NetworkManager @chaosmonk: downgrading only NetworkManager was sufficient for my system, but I imagine the reason to upgrade to a possibly less tested version of wpa_supplicant was to get a newer version of NetworkManager, hence the advice to downgrade both. Am I right?
