Description:
On a fresh install of Linux Mint, I am connected to the internet through a wired connection. Even though the internet is working just fine, Linux Mint shows the network status as "cable unplugged." I am also receiving errors in Software Manager when trying to download a package that I am offline. I can use apt at the command line to download the very same packages without issues.
The laptop is a Thinkpad T490. Here are my system specs:
