Title:
software updater removes realtek r8125 driver and installs incorrect
r8169 driver
Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Release: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
Package: Software Updater
I have a "MSI MPG B550 Gaming Edge Wifi" motherboard which requires
Realtek Driver r8125.
When the weekly update runs, it automatically replaces the correct
driver with version r8169. This causes the Ethernet connection to not
work at all.
Fix: Manually remove r8169 driver and reinstall the Realtek r8125
driver downloaded from Realtek website.
Additionally, I have tried to blacklist the r8169 driver in
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf as
# Blacklist bad ethernet driver
blacklist r8169
This caused the updater to remove the r8125 driver, but not replace it
with anything (as far as I can tell).
There are no files under /var/log/dist-upgrade (directory is empty).
