Configure Static IP LXQT NetworkManager does not work

Issues & Assistance
1

I am new to Gurada, I am coming from old linux (1.2.13 slakware 3.0), BDS, SunOS, Solaris, debian based linux.

I have install Gurada dragonized LXQT, I want to configure a static IP. NetworkManager does not run.

I have looked for the files to manually configure the network, I can not locate them.

I have also tried to run nmcli, it shows the device:

nmcli con show 
NAME                UUID                                  TYPE      DEVICE 
Wired connection 1  39f2a027-c38b-36de-9dfa-763838653701  ethernet  enp2s0

when I try to use nmcli to set the static ip it shows:

sudo nmcli con mod enp2s0 ipv4.addresses 10.0.0.199/24
Error: unknown connection 'enp2s0'.

I have another gurada running, but it is installed with the dragonized KDE, and everything works, was able to configure the network, using the Network Manager

help me please ( my skill level is above novice )

Uh, just tried it and got the same result. I'm puzzled.
Use the UUID, that seems to work.

Not to poke fun at you, but please try avoiding typos, it makes searching difficult and to be honest, I first though "this guy put an O for a 0" but then I tried it and indeed... I'll see if I make sense of it, I'm really curious about why the device id does not work. Maybe it wants the full device path.

What would the full path be /dev/[network device, as in my case enp2s0] ? I did try that

Network Manager, in their infinite wisdom, decided it was much easier to use a name with 2 spaces in it, than the actual device name. 

sudo nmcli con mod 'Wired connection 1' ipv4.addresses 10.0.0.199/24

Should accomplish what you are trying to do.

That would be under /sys/class/net/ but nmcli does not like it either. :man_shrugging:

thank you all for helping, device is configured and running.
