[rasitha]

hi

im having trouble with network bonding in kubuntu 20.04. i finely manage to bong with netpalan but now discovery app center complain about dot having network. but i have internet & can brows & can install form command line.

when i try to do bonding with the network manager gui the bonding doesn't work.

this is my netplan file this is the only thing that works other ways in google searches doesn't work

ill but a link to my yaml file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-z4...ew?usp=sharing

I'm not exactly sure I understand the problem, but let's see if this helps. Have you tried a wired connection? I'd start directly with the modem; if that works, I'd move to the router; if that works, there's something wrong with your Wi-Fi. Do you have an Ethernet cable you can use for testing purposes?

no nothing like that. this is got to do with network bonding

if i use /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml to setup a bond connection. if i use the above mentioned way to setup the bond the network works fine. only problem is the software centre Discover gives me an error no network. other than that the network is fine. i think discover looks at the NetworkManager status only.(if the bond is up the network status terns to disconnect)

if i put NetworkManager as the renderer on the yml file the netwotk doesn't work no network

if i use the network manager to setup the bond. the bond doesn't work

what i wont to do is to setup a BOND network with my 2 Network cards.

in linux mint the network bonding works fine without a problem (im switching form linux mint)

Technically, as Mint is identical to Ubuntu/Kubuntu regarding both networking and package management, the same process should work on both distros.
Discover (via Packagekit) is actually under the hood still using apt. But Packagekit may be getting in the way (NOT Plasma Discover itself)

I have zero knowledge of bonding or of doing so correctly via Network Manager gui or via nmcli, unfortunately.

Looks like you need to fully remove NetworkManager

sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager.service


Maybe this will help: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...light=networkd

I can live with command line... Tx

[rasitha]

Exactly.. wht i can't understand is why i cant do this with the gui (network manager) coz other distribution can do this..

Do you mean on other desktops? Plasma's NM GUI is common across distros, as far as I can tell.
