I'm currently trying to set up a self-hosted SearX search engine on Ubuntu 22.04. In order for the search engine to work, I have to manually run the following commands on startup:

#! /usr/bin/bash

sudo -H -u searx -i

cd /usr/local/searx/searx-src

export SEARX_SETTINGS_PATH="/etc/searx/settings.yml"

python searx/webapp.py

This is kind of annoying to have to do, so I put the script into /etc/rc.local and went through all the steps to enable all that. Now my rc.local file looks like:

#!/bin/sh -e

#! /usr/bin/bash

sudo -H -u searx -i

cd /usr/local/searx/searx-src

export SEARX_SETTINGS_PATH="/etc/searx/settings.yml"

python searx/webapp.py

exit 0

However, the code fails, and upon checking "sudo systemctl status rc-local.service" I get the following (abbreviated) error message:

 Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

I understand that an Exit Code 127 means that the code is failing because it can't access the following directory:

cd /usr/local/searx/searx-src

But I honestly have no idea how to fix my code to make this possible. Please lmk if you have any suggestions

I use a laptop, and have only just been able to finally connect an ethernet cable to it. However, ethernet doesn't work on Linux, returning this "Cable Unplugged" message, whereas it does work on dual-booted Windows.

I tried running "lspci -v" to get a list of where my drivers were located, but I could not find any entry for "Ethernet controller," or something of the like. That being said, I'm assuming I just don't have an Ethernet driver?? and I was wondering how I get one :)
