How To Fix netplugd: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu netplugd is provided by netplug package.

netplug is:

This daemon monitors the link status of network cards and configures the network on plug- and un-plug-events.

It’s similar to ifplugd, but uses NETLINK instead of regularly polling the link status. This improves power-consumption with laptops, but does not work with all network card. And it can’t be configured to ignore short unplugged or plugged periods like ifplugd.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install netplug

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install netplug.

sudo apt -y install netplug

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install netplug
