WiFi isn't working in new installation of Ubuntu [duplicate]
It's Linux and everything should be setup manually, but I'm new to this and need help in setting up my WiFi.
here's what I did. I installed ubuntu, tried to connect the WiFi while installation it didn't got connected, I thought well it'll connect once it got installed but it still isn't connected. I think it should be pretty easy to solve, something I forgot to tick or something
a thing to notice is that it says it's connecting for few seconds and doesn't get connected after that
All you need to do is Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T and run:
gksu gedit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
At the bottom of this file, copy and paste the following:
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
final result will look like this
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
[ifupdown]
managed=false
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
Then just save and close the file and run:
sudo service network-manager restart
And wifi should work again!
