[xubuntu-users] Xubuntu 18.04 and Wifi
Hello List, I hope it’s OK to ask it here and someone will be able to help. I would be really grateful for any suggestions / pointers at all as I am totally clueless. I have just installed Xubuntu 18.04. I have no problems connecting to the internet via cable / plugged in / wired but it won't connect to wifi. When I check my available networks, the available wifi networks are showing but when I try to connect it seems to hang for about 30 seconds before I get the message; "Disconnected - you are now offline". Can anyone walk me through / advise how do I get my wifi working? Many thanks in advance! apt-get update and apt-get upgrade were run. All the software is up to date as well.

Re: [xubuntu-users] Xubuntu 18.04 and Wifi
Thank you, Roger for giving it a try. How would I do it? Downgrade the kernel? How? Are there any newer kernels than in version 18.04?

Re: [xubuntu-users] Xubuntu 18.04 and Wifi
Thank you so much for getting back to me! I really do appreciate. I will take a look. In fact, it's a known bug that was discovered in 17.04 if I am not mistaken. I think it was "carried over" to 18.04 without being fixed... They speak about it here https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2372573 The solution was to do this: echo -e "\n[device]\nwifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no" | sudo tee -a /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf sudo sed -i "s/wifi.powersave = 3/wifi.powersave = 2/g" /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf However, this solution does not help it any more in 18.04. Any more comments / ideas? Thank you!
