Re: [Dorset] Ubuntu 16.04 no wifi
Hi Peter, > I have just bought an HP Notebook loaded with Windows 10 You may find section 1 of https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_network_configuration useful, even though it's Arch Linux rather than Ubuntu. It gives some commands to start examining what hardware you have and that in turn will help you Google, as will the specific HP model number. `lspci -nn', for example, shows I have a 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Ralink corp. RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe [1814:3090] So its PCI ID is 1814:3090; I'd Google for `linux wifi 1814:3090'.

Re: [Dorset] Ubuntu 16.04 no wifi
Have you tried the 'rfkill' command? rfkill list Will list the status for all interfaces. If one of your adapters is soft blocked then you can unblock it with for example: rfkill unblock 0 Hard blocked means you need to press a button. -- Andrew. -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2017-03-07 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR
[Dorset] Ubuntu 16.04 no wifi
I have just bought an HP Notebook loaded with Windows 10 and I loaded Ubuntu 16.04 as dual boot with Windows. Windows could see the wifi connection but Ubuntu could not. I tried a number of fixes found on Ask Ubuntu and other sites, none of which worked and eventually I locked up the machine and had to remove the battery to stop it. I have now used gparted to completely wipe the hard disk and Ubuntu loaded and running but still can't see the wifi but works with a wired connection. Any help would be most welcome. I have the following items going free to any takers Tower computer with 500GB HDD, 2GB memory and CD/DVD drive.
