Alright, so I am new to using the server version of ubuntu and even newer to the /etc/netplan. I have tried creating a .yaml file but always seam to make mistakes with the syntax, I have xfce4 installed on my 18.04.1 server and it comes up with the Ethernet symbol in the top right corner but when I go into it I can not edit the current adaptor and when I try to create a new one all the options are greyed out and inaccessible. So does anyone know how I can set my ip to 192.168.0.2 so my modems firewall entries don't need to be changed?

I have been able to fix the problem, but I did have to reinstall, last time during set up I was unable to configure a static IP as it would tell me that the IP was not contained in the subnetmask 255.255.255.0/24, which is the subnet mask used by all my other devices as far as I know. I had to instead use 192.168.0.0/24 and it finally let me set a static IP. That being said anyone who can tell me how I can change such setting from within the xfce gui would be appreciated greatly.
