I tried:

sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome

followed by:

nm-applet

but it gave me:

dbind-WARNING **: 21:03:15.214: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files.

What's going wrong?

(my PC originally had Windows 8 on it & I dual-booted it with Lubuntu Bionic Beaver)

The previous output for:

sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome

was as follows:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
network-manager-gnome is already the newest version (1.8.10-2ubuntu3).
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libglade2-0 python-bluez python-cairo python-glade2 python-gobject-2
  python-gtk2
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 460 not to upgrade.

After using:

sudo apt full-upgrade

The current output for:

sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome

is as follows:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
network-manager-gnome is already the newest version (1.8.10-2ubuntu3).
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libglade2-0 libllvm6.0 python-bluez python-cairo python-glade2
  python-gobject-2 python-gtk2

    Nm-applet is not a package to install. Also, both the network manager and nm-applet are preinstalled. – mikewhatever Dec 05 '19 at 19:12

    Then why can't I connect to wireless networks? Only wired networks are working. – ahiyantra Dec 05 '19 at 19:14

    I don't know why, but if you provide more info, perhaps I will. Also, what was the output of sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome? You forgot to post it. – mikewhatever Dec 05 '19 at 19:20

    Let me go through the More Info & XY Problem links. I'll update the question accordingly. – ahiyantra Dec 05 '19 at 19:29

    First you need to fix "460 not to upgrade", then after that fix the wireless. Please edit your question above to include the complete output of sudo apt full-upgrade – user535733 Dec 05 '19 at 19:30

    You have a Broadcom BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] which usually needs a driver installed: sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source. There is also a preinstalled program called "Additional Drivers" to do it for you. Hope it helps. – mikewhatever Dec 05 '19 at 20:47
