I recently installed Lubuntu 16.04 on my laptop & I can't seem to get it to connect to WiFi. I tried using the Network Manager but it won't even start. At first I thought it wasn't installed so I tried:
sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
The output tells me it's already installed & up to date with the most recent version. I also tried adding "nm-applet" to the Default applications for LXSession on the Autostart tab & rebooting the laptop, but even after that it just doesn't appear on the panel or start with a command from the terminal. I tried:
sudo nm-applet
To start it, but the output was:
** (nm-applet:20844): WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files
(nm-applet:20844): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_thaw_toplevel_updates: assertion 'window->update_and_descendants_freeze_count > 0' failed
The output of:
lspci -knn | grep Net -A2
was:
