Public bug reported: Release: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS Package: Software Updater
I have a "MSI MPG B550 Gaming Edge Wifi" motherboard which requires Realtek Driver r8125. When the weekly update runs, it automatically replaces the correct driver with version r8169. This causes the Ethernet connection to not work at all. Fix: Manually remove r8169 driver and reinstall the Realtek r8125 driver downloaded from Realtek website. Additionally, I have tried to blacklist the r8169 driver in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf as # Blacklist bad ethernet driver blacklist r8169 This caused the updater to remove the r8125 driver, but not replace it with anything (as far as I can tell). ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: ethernet r8125 r8186 realtek -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1895008 Title: automatic update replaces realtek 8125 driver with 8169 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1895008/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
