UbuntuMATE 26.04 daily build Jan 9 2026 Live ISO has no established network connection

[ericmarceau-rogers]

I've tried both the

• Nov 25 2025, and
• Dec 9 2026

daily builds of the UbuntuMATE 26.04. In both cases, the Live ISO session is unable to establish a working network connection.

I have gone so far as to download the Ubuntu Desktop Live ISO, and was able to determine that the issue is NOT upstream of UbuntuMATE, because Ubuntu Desktop does not exhibit the same issue.

May I please request that someone review the discussion posted at Ubuntu Discourse for the Ubuntu 26.04 development release and help to resolve the issue?

• UbuntuMATE 26.04 Live ISO - Try and Install - No network functionality

That is a follow-on to an earlier discussion on the UbuntuMATE forum under the following heading:

• Networking issue with 26.04 daily and zsync

Thank you.

Eric
