I've been a Windows poweruser since forever and lately I got more interested in hosting and webservers. That's when the time has come to get my hands dirty with Linux and so I decided today to create a virtual machine running Ubuntu 18.04, installing apache on it and doing my first baby steps.
Unfortunately, I can only reach the webserver on Ubuntu, not on the host machine or any other device connected to the internet. Some googling later, I found out that I have to switch network adapter to bridged.
Now comes my issue. After i switched to bridged, the network connection is gone - and i tried to find a solution during the last 5h, by changing some stuff here and there or reinstalling the OS - without luck.
Since I'm a fresh born baby with this OS, I wanted to hear from some Linux poweruser what the issue could be and how I could solve it?
Error: Activation of Network connection failed
ifconfig with bridged Network:
Virtual box Network settings:
Since you are running with a GUI you should use Network Manager (one of the icons on the upper right side) to configure your connection. – T Nierath – 2018-05-09T12:45:35.823
