I had fresh installed Ubuntu 18.04 yesterday, before i use to connect mobile to pc and after enabling usb tethering, internet gets connected But now mobile gets detected in system, but no internet connected or no wired connection exist.

Please tell me , how do i connect internet in system ?

Thankyou

I'm a gamer but on my PC with kubuntu 18.04 lts kernel 5.4 I cant get tethering to work. The libraries and programs I need are said to be on this os. Is it wise to grab this os and use it since my method of downloading is to my phone and then transferring files to PC via mtp? So many problems with easy tether.

To save forum space would it be wise to install the grub 2 efi bootloader to the iso? It only boots via legacy for me.

My system is the Lenovo thinkcentre m73 10ax.

The Set Up

• Phone - Moto z3 - developer mode ON, debugging mode ON
• easytether - v 1.1.19
• Ubuntu - 18.04.2

Actions taken

1. installed easytether Pro
2. installed drivers (easytether_0.8.9_amd64.deb) dpkg -i easytether_0.8.9_amd64.deb
3. ran following cmd sudo easytether-usb returns error message

interface tun-easytether is used by another process (hotplug?)

What I've Tried

1. Restarting both phone and laptop.
2. Turned wi-fi on and off
3. Restarted the network manager sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service
4. Restarted the ModemManager sudo systemctl restart ModemManager-manager.service
5. Even though it states it's for 16.04 I added source-directory interfaces.d to my etc/network/interfaces file.
6. As per easytether pro documentation tried running the following commands

# systemctl enable systemd-networkd
# systemctl start systemd-networkd

systemd-networkd not found?

The questions

1. Is it an issue that the interface tun-easytether is being used? If it is how can I find out whats engaging it?
2. If the process lock isn't my issue, where should I logically looking?

I have a computer running Ubuntu 18.4 and I'm trying to install Easytether on the computer side but if I try to install the deb package I get an error message.

The computer has no internet service. I have seen posts from years ago about this but things have changed since then. The instructions that the easytether site provides are very vague and seem to be a little outdated.

I renamed the file tether.deb but I'll type the message I get.

: sudo dpkg -i tether.deb

(Reading database ... 125613 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack tether.deb ... Unpacking easytether (0.8.7-1) over (0.8.7-1) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of easytether: easytether depends on resolvconf; however: Package resolvconf is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package easytether (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigued Errors were encountered while processing: easytether

:~/

That is the message I get. I downloaded resolvconf but I'm not sure how to go about installing that deb file. Untill I can get the internet connection going I have to do everything on my phone.

I posted yesterday regarding how to configure easytether on Ubuntu. I followed the steps and everything looks good from the terminal. But I am not able to connect to the Internet. Currently I am connected to a Wireless network, I tried disconnecting to it, in hope to connect to Internet using my phone but with no help. How do I make my notebook use my cell phone's connection. I have attached the snapshot from the terminal.
