Axios I got a basic ethernet switch (tp-link 5 port, TL-SG105), hooked everything up, but when I enter in the address of the server to access 'Cockpit' (https://server address:9090) Solus still does not see anything. It's not a firewall issue as I allowed per instructions on 'Cockpit' (and, tested with 'sudo ufw disable' on the Ubuntu server).
Physical connections:
1) internet ethernet cable to the server (Ubuntu 22.04.3)
2) ethernet cable from server (special LAN out port) to ethernet switch (since there are just 5 ports in the front, I connected this cable to the first one).
3) ethernet cable from ethernet switch (second port) to desktop with Solus OS
(power for the switch is 'on' green light is on)
Software:
1) when I 'ifconfig' on the Ubuntu server, I get three connections, enp2s0, enp5s0 and lo.
2) when I 'edit connection' on Solus OS to add a connection, I choose 'manual' in IP4 and enter in the address, netmask and gateway from enp2s0 (on the Ubuntu machine it says 'broadcast' instead of gateway, so I assume this is it). If I choose 'Auto DHCP' then the pic of the 'wheel' keeps spinning forever and never connects.
3) up until I had added one connection, for the server all was fine, but when I decided to test adding another connection for enp5so, then Solus would no longer display either connection to choose, but rather 'Auto Ethernet', which then just 'spins' forever also. I tried deleting all the connections and starting over, but the 'Auto Ethernet' keeps appearing. And, when I look at the 'Connection Information' for 'Auto Ethernet' it displays the information for the third connection 'lo'
So now I'm really stuck, I've tried so many possible configurations, none seem to work, any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike
