mesa 7i96 connection refused

i typed in sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces and the file said only

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback


under which i added the text you provided, i wrote to the file closed and came back to make sure it was there. I dont know why it only had the loopback when i first went in, all the examples i have seen online have all the network connections that are shown under ip a in the file but mine does not.

what does

sudo ifup --no-act enp3s0

return?

Your network connections that the gui sets are here: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections it will have a file for your wired connections. post the contents of that file here.

sudo ifup --no-acr enp3s0 returns ifup: interface enp3s0 already configured

/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections returns no such file or directory exists

So if you do (with the 7i96 connected)

sudo ifdown -a
sudo ifup -a
ip a

What do you get?
