The problem
No wired (USB tethering) or wireless (mobile hotspot) internet working on fresh Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 installation or Live USB. (I also tried out Kubuntu 17.04)
What have I tried?
- I've tried this answer which fixed the random mac address problem in Ubuntu 17.04, this helped me to connect the wifi device but internet wasn't working
- I've added 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to DNS via settings app in Ubuntu, I also tried toggling "Automjatic DNS" to Off, this amkes no effect
- Tried rebooting multiple times
- Changed ports for USB wireless adopter
Other strange things
I've installed Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 in this same PC with those same devices attached multiple times before and it has worked for me, it's just not working from yesterday.
I've tried to dual boot with different operating system (Manjaro in this case) and internet works fine on Manjaro without any modifications.
ping 8.8.8.8andping 8.8.4.4works, but adding it to DNS doesn't fix the problem
Information
These outputs were taken in Live USB mode (I don't think that changes anything, but I might be wrong)
