I installed the kubuntu-desktop package on a normal Ubuntu install, but beforehand set up a TimeShift snapshot in case I wanted to undo the install. I logged into kubuntu but it was unable to connect to the internet. After restoring the TimeShift snapshot, I still was unable to connect---neither on my elementary OS dual boot nor on a liveUSB session.
It always seems to fail on "getting IP configuration." Here are the results of some commands:
$ ifconfig -a
