No network connections on Mate [solved]

Just installed Mate. After the first boot, I don't have any network. Ethernet cable is plugged in, ifconfig says no devices found. I also have a wireless usb, iwconfig shows no devices, and lsusb shows the wireless is there.

You have to configure it the first time. Try

Code: Select all

sudo ceni

in a terminal. If you don't know what to enter in the boxes, let us know.
