Ethernet connection stop working after installing updated from "Software updater"

jp flag

After installing updates recommended by "software updater" my internet stopped working. But It work when I boot using live disk image.

When I run the live image I can see "wired connection" under settings -> network tab.

I've tried following solutions, please don't mark this question as a duplicate.

  1. https://askubuntu.com/a/1342203/1568463
  2. Ubuntu 18.04 missing wired connections in settings
  3. https://askubuntu.com/a/1103263

Apart from this in couple of other similar question people have sugested to update/install net-tool and other packages. But I was not able to perform those operations because system is not connected to internet.

Most of these questions had comments asking to execute some command and report back the output. Here are output for those commands.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
