I've got no wifi with my newly installed Ubuntu dual booted with Windows.

I'm new to Linux, and so I'm looking for a straightforward way to fix it. Please guide me through steps needed to find and solve the problem. Thanks.

Try this

Connect to LAN

  1. Search for Additional Drivers

  2. See if there are any Broadcom drivers available( Wait for some time if not available, it takes time to load available drivers some time )

  3. If it already says, Using BroadCom Corporation .., click on 'donot use this device'-> Apply Changes, then again 'Use BroadCom Corporation...'-> Apply Changes

  4. Restart your Ubuntu

  • What do you mean by connecting to LAN? I don't have wired connection. Also in Additional Drivers, Broadcom is already on "Don't use..." – Sajad May 24 '18 at 12:32
  • If it is on Don't use, click on 'Use Broadcom....'. My point was to turning it off and turn it on again.If it off now, turn in on. WiFi should work – okcomputer_kid May 24 '18 at 12:37
  • If you have internet on phone, connect it via USB and you can internet via USB – okcomputer_kid May 24 '18 at 12:38
  • I had tried that before. The problem is that it stucks on 'apply change'. and thanks for your last tip :) – Sajad May 24 '18 at 12:56

you may try to disable 'secure boot' from the bios setup.

and then, if needed sudo apt-get install bcwm-kernel-source
