Network issue in Ubuntu

I did a recent install of Ubuntu 18.04 on a HP Elitebook x360 1030 g2. It is the sole OS on the internal M.2 storage. The PC is completely factory with no 3rd party additions. Since the install I get the following error pop-up message consistently "Activation Failed - Activation of network connection failed". Wifi works fine. There is no wired connection on the PC or port. 

 

I have used Linux in the past and have a basic understanding but by no means am proficient with it. Which is the reason I am trying to use it more and more. When I view the logs, I can see errors when the error occurs, but really have no idea what it for the most part. This is the text of the error...DHCPDISCOVER on enp0s20f0u5c2 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10 (xid=0xc7f42a1e)

 

Looking to the community for what direction to go from here.

your WiFi chipset should be supported by Linux 4.6, what distro are you running? Linux version? uname -a

 

You could need to add a newer kernel or update to a newer Ubuntu version

Here is the output. I downloaded the ISO recently thinking it would be up to date.

It should work... Really strange, it's detected correctly and doesnt give any error, can you post a picture of the network manager showing the issue?
