Hey. Short story: I activated Secure boot on my MSI Mainboard and bootet in my new Debian. I realized that I had no wired internet connection and rebooted the system to deactivate secure boot again. Problem is that now my whole Ethernet is borked? I don’t get a connection in Debian or my older OpenSuse partition and the Debian install USB stick says that the connection doesn’t work. Of course I deinstallieren Windows and now this happens. Tried already a different cable . Any idea what I could do?

Try booting into a live image of a debian distro (pick any one you want that can boot into a live image), then try the Ethernet port. Is it working? If not, either your bios shut it off or the port is broken. Several years ago, I had a broken wifi adaptor that happened to break at the exact same time as (or super close thereto) me installing GIMP. No way GIMP caused it. If the port does work on the live image, then it’s likely a driver issue with your install. Try it and let us know the results.

live image had the same problems. I bought a wifi usb stick after work from my local computer store (Linux support was advertised on the wrapping) and it works so far. Must be the hardware but the mainboard is only a year old…

Thanks everyone. I tried everything but only with very limited success. I have a very unstable connection that loads very very slow and is basically unusable. I will check tomorrow again if there’s damage and if WiFi is affected too. It’s already night here so time for a little sleep.

If you have a wifi adapter, run on that for now, and dc the ethernet. Probably a hardware problem.

Yeah seems to be the hardware. Bought a Wifi adapter today and it works.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
