G'day
@Rudl and welcome to linux.org
Change in syntax, we'll be looking for
wpasupplicant
and
network-manager-gnome
(and yes, I know Lubuntu is not GNOME DE)
First use
Code:
apt-cache policy wpasupplicant
and see what it says.
If it says something like
Code:
wpasupplicant:
Installed: 2.4-0ubuntu6.6
Candidate: 2.4-0ubuntu6.6
then it is already installed and can be used. If there is a blank space beside Installed, but something beside Candidate, then it can be installed with
Code:
sudo apt-get -y install wpasupplicant
On Network Manager
type in and enter only as follows
Code:
apt-cache policy network-manager
and then press your Tab key, it should generate a list (this is called Tab Complete). The list may look something like this
Code:
network-manager network-manager-openvpn-gnome
network-manager-dev network-manager-pptp
network-manager-gnome network-manager-pptp-gnome
network-manager-iodine network-manager-ssh
network-manager-iodine-gnome network-manager-ssh-gnome
network-manager-openconnect network-manager-strongswan
network-manager-openconnect-gnome network-manager-vpnc
network-manager-openvpn network-manager-vpnc-gnome
If the GNOME entry is there, then where you stopped typing just start to finish it with
-gnome (just the -gn will do and then press Tab)
and when you have the completed entry, press Enter and see what it outputs.
If you get output that begins like this
Code:
network-manager-gnome:
Installed: 1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.4
Candidate: 1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.4
... you are in business. If nothing beside installed but an entry at Candidate, then install it as described above.
Hoping
@dos2unix can run with it from here - wifi is not my strong point
Cheers
