Cannot connect/find any servers (Ubuntu gamepack)
Recently downloaded Ubuntu Gamepack via USB flash drive. All went well as far as I know and except for my internet problems all is well. I do not no why, and would like some assistance in troubleshooting the problem.
The system has no problems with connecting to the modem via Firefox when the default gateway is typed into the search tab but it cannot connect to anything else. I tried the ping command but it could not find any of the websites I tried.
The last piece of information I can come up with is the output of the ifconfig command that I ran in the terminal, which I will post below this text.
NOTE: If any extra information is required to troubleshoot feel free to ask for it.

that proves your internet & lan connection is working, but DNS isn't. A quick fix is to add "nameserver 8.8.8.8" to the end of the/etc/resolv.conffile. 8.8.8.8 is the ip address for google's DNS; you could use of course your ISP's or another; I use 8.8.8.8 as example (it's easy to remember). This is a quick fix only.

First to test your can access external, try
ping 8.8.8.8
which confirms you are connected and can get external. If this works, but the pinging of google.com failed, it's a DNS issue.
A quick fix is to add
"nameserver 8.8.8.8"
to the end of /etc/resolv.conf. DNS is 'domain name service' & translates human names like google.com into their real ip address (numbers). This however is temporary and won't survive a reboot or networking services restart.
You make the change permanent via adding the nameserver to your NM (network manager) setup. On my Lubuntu 18.10 it's Preferences->Network->DNS and add a "8.8.8.8" there.
You could also add dns-addresses 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 to /etc/network/interfaces (you can use other DNS addresses instead of google's i've used as example) as per https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration.

that proves your internet & lan connection is working, but DNS isn't. A quick fix is to add "nameserver 8.8.8.8" to the end of the
/etc/resolv.conffile. 8.8.8.8 is the ip address for google's DNS; you could use of course your ISP's or another; I use 8.8.8.8 as example (it's easy to remember). This is a quick fix only.– guiverc

I am not sure what you mean by add : "nameserver 8.8.8.8" to the end of the /etc/resolv.conf file. Please elaborate
