USB tethering on Ubuntu 15.04

Asked by Anbu

I'm having trouble with the usb tethering on my laptop and blackberry z30. I can use the bluetooth tethering with the same blackberry. But want to use the usb tethering. When i connect my phone to the laptop, i do get the usb0 and usb1 ethernet connection and both say its connected (it has ip addresses assigned as well). But i still get no internet on the laptop.
Tried to play with some settings under the ethernet like unchecking the "allow multiple users" button - still no internet.

Anyone else can help me out here? as i said bluetooth tethering does work with the same phone and laptop

According to a post on Crackberry you need to have your Blackberry's USB Storage Type set to Mac for it be detected properly.

I read about it as well - but there is no option to select usb storage type to "Mac" in my z30. I've posted the same question in crackberry now.

From Verizon's docs for the z30 here's the directions:

USB Mass Storage - BlackBerry® Z30
[Device-Specific Instructions]

    From the home screen, select Settings.
    Note If not available, swipe down from the top of the display (where the time is located).
    Select Storage and Access.
    From the 'Access to Storage' section, select the 'USB Connection' drop down menu.
    Select one of the following:
        Autodetect
        Connect to Windows
        Connect to Mac

I do not get the option to select connect to mac or windows

All i get in the usb connection option is--

USB mass storage mode - on or off
charge only mode
manual ip address

Nothing to select its mac or windows.

I'm on BB 10.3.2.2226
