Bright entertainment trends with youth appeal.

It is a Lenovo Legion Y520 dual boot system with Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 10. The wireless connection worked fine this morning and both connections still work in Windows. Had to switch OS at some point, and I know I did an apt update && apt upgrade this morning. I've also tried and failed to connect a bluetooth device in Ubuntu (it paired but didn't show up as audio device), but that is the least of my problems now.

All wireless connections are visible, but just won't connect, and the wired connection just shows "Connecting" indefinitely. Rest of the day I got zero development done, so here's my plea for help. HEEELP :)


Here's some analysis So, connections are visible, but I can't ping anything. Also, there's no connection icon in the panel.

Some lspci stuff:

My /etc/network/interfaces looks like this:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

I've tried a bunch of resets and reinstalled network-manager and r8168 driver (r8168-dkms_8.045.08-2_all.deb). Also tried to boot from older kernel, but I'm not sure what I expected there.

Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.


edit: Two things stand out with dmesg less:

[ 1.594537] PKCS#7 signature not signed with a trusted key
[ 1.594545] r8168: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
[ 1.594632] r8168: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel
[ 1.595852] r8168 Gigabit Ethernet driver 8.045.08-NAPI loaded

so more r8168 stuff,

and

as I ran into an opencv problem in the morning, solved by installing libz.so.1.2.9:

Basic settings; WIRED though - there should be e.g. password and encryption settings for Wifi.
(I have no wifi on the current computer)


Check System settings > Network, it should look similar to this:
