TRI doesn't use the desktop network managers. Configure network from /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml:
You might also wish to comment out everything in /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml which allows (I think) Ubuntu's network manager to configure it as well - in my case it was giving it a second, dhcp provided address. Cool, but ultimately very confusing when most utilities don't think an interface can get two different addresses. ifconfig was saying one thing, avahi another.
