This is my first time messing with Linux so please forgive my ignorance.

I have an HP Elitebook 840 G8 that I’ve installed Ubuntu server on. I was trying to install a GUI on it, so I tried pulling the SLiM package from the web, but got "Temporary Failure resolving ‘Archive.ubuntu.com’.

This laptop doesn’t have an Ethernet Port, so I have to use a Microsoft USB-Ethernet dongle. But I haven’t been successful in getting that to work.

Is there a way for me to manually download the driver on a USB, then load it that way?

    As a general rule, maybe don’t use shorthand terms you invented in posts that are supposed to provide information to the people trying to help you, just so you don’t confuse them any further.
