Can't open Bela IDE on Linux, Ubuntu

bvk

I can't get the Bela IDE to open when going to "bela.local" or "192.168.7.2" in Chrome running on a Linux Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS version. The IDE does open on my Windows 10 PC.

Other tests/observations:

Pinging 192.168.7.2 does not get a reply.
"BELABOOT" disk is recognized in Files.
The Bela_image_version is "v0.3.8g"
A weird thing is that when ejecting in Linux, it does not say BELABOOT, but "Linux File-Stor Gadget"

Anyone a similar issue or recommendation on how to investigate?
Thanks!!

What do you get running ip a or ifconfig on your computer?

The usb network devices provided by bela may have to be manually configured, or at least run dhclient on them

This is what I get when running ip a in the terminal:

19: usb0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 3e:11:31:47:eb:79 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 20: enxbe1a98b78fcd: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether be:1a:98:b7:8f:cd brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

try dhclient enxbe1a98b78fcd (may require sudo)

This is a known issue and the solution is here:

I can't get admin access on my machine so I'll go with a Windows machine for now. I assume your suggestions will work though, thanks for the solution!
