in the live ubuntu thing wifi works fine.but when i installed it the wifi didnt work and i had to use ethernet.
That's a very rare problem, what type of WiFi card do you have? Have you also tried looking at the additional drivers app within Ubuntu?
@@LearnLinuxTV Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
it works after i use ethernet to connect to the internet and do that initial update. after that i never had an issue with wifi. it's only on clean installs which i do when a new LTS gets released.
@@AndreyOnAir I had a lot of trouble getting firmware-b43-installer to work on a MacBook Pro 7,1 years ago. I eventually got it working but I cannot remember how, i just remember it being a pain.
Same problem
@@AndreyOnAir Don't get me started with that garbage... Why are we using wifi IF ETHERNET IS WORKING?????!!!!
have to say, watching you talk about the situation felt even harder than the solutions online...
How to take 20 minutes to say something that could be said in 20 seconds
One of the worst problems I've had with wifi during an install was caused by a faulty router. NetworkManager fixed my issue on linux, but on windows and android I still sometimes have to reset the adapter/reconnect.
LearnLinuxTV, you said the ThinkPenguin USB wifi adapter is PnP on Debian. Based on their product description, modern releases of Debian Stable, including 11, require a firmware install. The install is available as a package, which is great. But I imagine it isn't installed by default. So this pretty much puts us in the same boat, installing the OS, but still needing the firmware/driver before being able to connect. Is this correct?
I wish this video existed 6 years ago when I was trying to get WiFi to work on Debian. In the end I went the USB card route, but it took weeks for me to finally reach that conclusion.
Just wanted to ask my computer has LTE built in but it not seeing the driver can you see if you can help me fix this issue so it can see it thanks I am using ubuntu
I’ve been through all of this, and I wish you made this sooner😃. Thank you making videos in general you are a great educator, ambassador, and lifesaver.
When I've done some distro hopping on my old Laptop (Samsung rv-511), most of the distros are fine with the built-in wifi card, but some either don't work at all or have stability problems attempting to use it. On my desktop however, I use a small Texet wifi dongle which works almost without exception with any of the Linux distros I've tried. The current distro I have is Pop_OS but if I had to go with an alternative it would LMDE 5, both work flawlessly with the dongle.
Had problems in the past but resolved with a USB adapter similar to your suggestion, also did get a driver from github which resolved another issue.
Initially wifi was working on my install of Ubuntu 18.04 but then after installing my graphics drivers and updating packages, after restarting my wifi completely disappeared (Intel AX200)
Good suggestions, all. Thanks for all that you do! I didn't have issues using WiFi on Linux Mint's latest Cinnamon, installed on 2012 MacBook Pro. Fedora 36 beta doesn't like the proprietary drivers as much, though. As much as I agree with Think Penguin adapter idea, I had already ordered a Pandas #PAU05 (300Mbps), and I couldn't be happier with it.
Thank you for the helpful video. It helped with my wifi issue
Thank you very much. That works well in my Lenovo/Debian. Even when the dongle is an off brand cheapo. Now, I need help with my HP/Linux Mint. The WIFI signal is weak (even sitting next to the router) and drops constantly. Can you help?
Is the Terminal (BASH) syntax on Debian different from Mint (or Ubuntu)?
Such as "sudo apt install"?
Since I was not able to install packages using this command in Debian.
I had HP 650 laptop, and when I tried to replace wifi card, I found that new wifi card is blacklisted. It seems that only few models works or on the whitelist.
I got a laptop back in 2010 that I was hoping to run Linux on and use for work. I was a Slackware user at the time, but since I needed things to "just work" I decided to go with Ubuntu. I fired up the Live CD and was delighted to see wifi worked out of the box! So I proceeded to install.... and then after rebooting... wifi was no longer working. I never did end up solving it, I just used a wired connection at home and booted into Windows when I needed wifi for work.
How do I get this special firmware package you can install that you talk of at 9.22? Many thanks
I hate that you have to connect to Ethernet to get the WiFi drivers installed. Seems like a huge disconnect in logic. I just ran into this with my Ubuntu 21.10 install when I tried to connect an Edimax AC 1750 USB adapter. I tried downloading their official drivers and transferring it with a USB drive, but the drivers won't install due to a few lines of, apparently, old command references. If it knows the commands are old, why doesn't it just automatically adjust the commands? Backward compatibility used to be a thing. Even after I downloaded the drivers over Ethernet and connected to WiFi, the speeds are garbage compared to another device sitting right next to it.
I have a desktop with a gigabyte board running Linux Mint 19. The onboard wifi worked fine at install and for over a year. I added a third SATA drive and upon booting the wifi was gone. I have to date, not found any reason why this has happened. The new drive installed and runs fine but the wi-fi is just gone for no reason reason. Any ideas? I finally gave up and using ethernet for now. Hoping it will run wi-fi again when I finally get around to updating to Mint 20+ someday.
I recently bought a new GeoBook 240 and could not install Windows 11 on it because the keyboard was wonky. So I decided to install Zorin OS 16.3 and it has been running great for about 3 weeks. Tonight the Wifi disappeared. I guess you would suggest I get a USB wifi stick. I hate spending money I don't have. Are there any other solutions?
First thing to check, the easiest, turned out to be my problem. I wished I saw this video first. My WiFi switch was off!! In my defense, I rescued an old laptop someone was throwing away and loaded Mint Linux on it. It was on WiFi when I loaded Linux but then it stopped working. I must have turned the switch off without realizing it. This video had me check and sure enough. It working now, thanks!
This video is junk. I drones on and on and no solution.
Thanks, you saved my time
Jay when I moved over to linux my WiFi adapter did work but not very well so after some messing around I got a Boss Trend USB adapter which worked very well for some of the time contacted BT who told me to disable the inbuilt card and how to do it never looked back
I can work my WiFi card normally with iwd when Im setting up my Archlinux installation but when Im actually done installing and try to actually work on my PC iwd doesnt open and the wifi device is undescoverable with all the network managers etc
Hey, I'm facing a network problem, basically i was trying to install nitrux os, it booted then when I opened the installer it also opened and it's showing this system is not connected to internet, although I've connected it to my mobile hotspot
what if my wifi and ethernet cards both work fine in terms of finding the connection, but then the speed is much lower than on other devices... and then when you install new cable internet (comcast/x-fi), connecting to your linux manchine causes the router to crash and all devices, including phones, which had a fantastic and constant connection, lose the internet?
Thank you for your videos very informative I wanna ask a question rather than buy a Wi-Fi card and install it in my laptop can't I just get some sort of USB device?
I have an old Compaq laptop running Linux LIME
It recognizes the Wi-Fi but then I dropped it for some reason, I've also checked the firewall with no success
When suddenly my charger unplugged from my Hp Laptop which running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS the wifi network suddenly get lost, How can I fix the problem?
Great video! Thanks for the help bro ❤
You did help me. I wanted to try Debian 12 on my t430. It seems to work well except I could not get the widi to work. I will go to the nonfree version as I am intered in trying debian.
I just installed the latest manjaro KDE on my new Lenovo 7 2022 laptop. Intel Killer 6E WiFi didn't work. The manjaro KDE minimal came with kernel 5.15.65 lts. Once I loaded kernel 5.19.0 rt all was OK. Note it had to be a real time kernel. All other ones failed to boot.
Compiling the reverse-engineered driver from source is such a pain every time, and it didn't even work on the 5Gz ac/ax wifi like it did on the windows proprietary driver. So yeah, I got an intel add-in card with external antennas and it works like a charm.
Excellent. I like having good options.
Thank you, the first easy solution worked for me. Thank you very much
I have a slightly different problem. The wifi option appears and I can select my network and even enter my password. After I do it just refuses to connect and just loops asking me to enter my password again and again. This has followed me across an older dell desktop and dell craptop and 3 different Distros (Ubuntu, Mint, and Manjaro). I have a USB wifi adapter which is the only way the desktop connects to the internet other than ethernet. My best guess is a proprietary driver that is Unavailable on Linux.
I've a bit different kind of problem with internal wifi card first wile installing kali linux if had internal wifi card attached then linux installation will get stuck on detect network and hardware but if I disconnected internal wifi from laptop then it just install fine and now after installing it when I try to boot linux with internal wifi card plugged in then it would get stuck on dragon logo while booting and if I disconnect the internal wifi card then it would boot alright but if I plug in external wifi then there's no problem it would booot just fine with external wifi so can anymore please help me , how canni fix it?
what is the brand name of the desktop speaker on your desk
thanks for the help... for me using mint cinnamon connected using ethernet and updated wifi card driver ... restarted and it works now with wifi
What is the desktop environment you are using ?
I installed elementery os just now. Everything was fine, but when I ran sudo apt upgrade, my wifi has Disabled! How can I enable now?
I am only half way through this but just wanted to say. I bought a refurbished laptop with ubuntu os. But no wifi icon. Will watch the rest now to see if there is a fix. i ethernet cant reach my router coz its in my spare room that I use piled high with my sons furniture right now as storage. Could I get the driver on a usb ? Sorry for the silly question just not that clued up lol.
What about Linux desktops with PCIe bus? What card should I try? Intel?
Thanks Jay! I installed the LMDE 5 and the existing WiFi card wasn't recognized as device.. I replaced the existing with the Intel one and Instantly I had WiFi. Your tip works just fine.
Thanks. All I had to do was hit function and F2 where the wifi button was. Did not seem to work by hitting F2 alone. With your mentioning the F2 and funtion it worked. Even though you did not mention this particular combo, I probably would not have tried it on my own. Thanks again.
Hello, I'm new to Linux and I can't enable WIFI and hotspot at the same time. I want to share my WIFI internet with my phone though a hotspot but can't enable both at the same time. This works in Windows. Any help please?
Any ideas for an Intel wifi card that isn't always recognized and listed in lspci?
Next up is Touchpads right? I've had issues in the past where the livecd had a working TouchPad, but not after it installed.
My usb Lynxys wifi dongle worked fine but stopped working when I unplugged it. Bought a new off brand dongle and it was not even detected. The new dongle came with a cd rom and very cryptic instructions for installing, but it's above my understanding atm. Just ordered a 50' long wire but not even sure it will be long enough. Linux Mint latest version. Didn't work with a live version either
Please solve my problem.. I have Linux mint.. and my laptop connected wifi only when my router is just near to laptop ..when I take my laptop in some distence from router it does not connect ...why????
Your suggestions are right on the money thanks
Basically i had the same issue with my TP Link adapter. I looked up the techical docs about the device and found out the wifi chipset it has, i just googled on github "chipsetname" driver linux and to my supprise 3 github repos appeard, i installed the one that had the most stars. To this day that adapter works as an access point in my basement where the home lab is
intel ax 210 work after install any distro, but after shutdown and power on it again no wifi detected....kernel 5.15
Can someone help me how do i actually compile the drivers from src because i cant buy a wifi card and i need to get it working. Please
In my case :
I have Win 10 ; Linux Mint and Garuda 460 on my PC/ Laptop.
I have changed my Rooter , my Provider wanted it and send me the new Rooter.
Before that , Win 10 , Linux Mint an Garuda 460 works fine no Problems at all .
Newer Rooter : on Win 10 installed , no Problem
on Linux Mint installed, no Problem
on Garuda 460 , Garuda see my Wifi ,says is was ( Install ..) but has no Internet ,can't do Online ..
What I does wrong ?
Hi, sorry to comment on an old video, I had working WiFi on 20.04 ubuntu, upgraded to 22.04 and now no WiFi, it says it can't find my adapter.
I've downloaded all the rtl files too.
I made a bookable iso with a view to reinstalling, but when testing that iso noticed it isn't picking WiFi up either.
Why would this be?
i got the same problem im using a intel card and im on the newest ubuntu but it tells me it cant find the card
Thanks Jay for your USB dongle suggestion. I ordered it for a fresh install that I did of PopOS! on my old 2012 Macbook Pro (the last model before they went slim with everything glued and soldered inside). I got the dongle the next day after I ordered it. I slid the dongle in the USB port, lifted the lid, booted up and logged in (as I'm doing this, I'm thinking - I'm probably going to have to go through some set-up ritual to get this working). Well, I was totally wrong. The instant that Iogged in, BAM!!! - there it was "WiFI not Connected" & "Select a Network." I was instantly off to internet surfing.
While the penguin usb solution might work and is better than nothing, it is a bit slow at 150mbs. I bought a 300mps usb adapter awhile ago and was supposed to support Linux. I had an older desktop running Linuxmint and it did indeed work. But, I recently got rid of that desktop and tried to use it on an older laptop also running Linuxmint, but it would not work. I even turned off the laptop's internal wifi, but no luck.
I’m using Pop os on Sys76 hardware and it shows I’m connected but email, browsers don’t work.
Well the laptop itself needs to support the card as well.
My laptop, a Dell Inspiron 15 has the driver needed but still isn't showing up fully. It is a wifi Bluetooth combo card. Bluetooth shows up but wifi doesn't and it's an Intel card.
The reason for my upgrade was the old one support only b/g and the new one b/g/n/ac. For now I'm using a USB ethernet dongle on a USB 2 port. Not ideal though.
Save yourself 20 mins of your life, viewers. Don't watch this video and expect a zero dollar fix if you're sticking with Debian.
saw this after wasting
Watch this video, it is very educational.
@@chosenone3137 I guess for you
@@chosenone3137no its notm
Wasted my time!
regardless of which version of debian I install free or nonfree, I always use ethernet to get all the software I need while installing the system, since during the installation when it asks for the wifi I press the number for my wireless network and then its suddenly the wrong password and I suspected I chose a different network, once I am on a usable desktop and log into my newly installed system I take the cable out and connect to wifi, I have a qualcom atheros card in my lenovo which is currently running debian, my first install using the non free firmware I did have wifi problems because of what I mentioned earlier and opted to just use ethernet until the install was finished on my second attempt, for those who want to use a debian fork and want working connections I recommend devuan, apparently all images come with non free firmware but since I'm happy using debian I don't need devuan because there is nothing really different except you are non using systemd in devuan, but that is beyond the scope
I have an old laptop that I converted to full Ubuntu and wifi worked great. I just converted that same Ubuntu laptop to a full Ubuntu server 22.04 and can't figure out how to add/enable wifi. I can't even find my network. PLEASE HELP! Thanks for your time.
Very informative.
As far as security or privacy goes, Should we be concerned about purchasing a WiFi card from a third party ?
Is there any chance that a new WiFi card could be tempered in such a way that a bad actor could have access to our data ?
I feel my issue is my Intel Wi-Fi and Intel 2.5 lan are just to new to have been added into Linux even though opn sense supposedly has it so trying to learn how to do this Intel has some info on it but suddenly I can’t find after downloading the drivers so I can place them in the right spot
People say that about replacing but in a Surface Go. I’ve repaired Surface internals before but this Surface Go is so small and the firmware is so Microsoft want to control the population proprietary and then does the firmware still works to control the device?
I can check if there is a compatible intel for surface go firmware that you can’t change, but as far as I know they don’t support anyone other than them opening up these surface Go’s.
No wifi is showing on my manjaro KDE. That's why I've no internet right now on my Desktop. How can I fix it?
i have a Intel pentium 4 pc that runs peppermint os 11 32 bit, there is no wifi in my PC so im using a wifi adapter or dongle. in windows it's working fine but in linux its not
I have an old Intel Mac mini I have converted into a Linux Machine. I am running MX Linux natively. I believe I chose the debian free kernel. Stupid, I know. Does anyone know if or how I could change the kernel without having to reinstall my system? Is it possible to switch the kernel on the boot up screen?
what about the ALFA WIFI USB cards ? You can put those onto monitor mode.
Do you have any idea how long I spent trying to get my wifi working? I reconfigured drivers. I recompiled. I added repositories. I updated headers...... Sigh. My finger had accidentally hit the wifi toggle.
I installed Ubuntu Mate and the wifi wasn’t detecting. I plugged a usb wife dongle and it worked. The funny thing is that after removing the dongle, the wifi was detected immediately. Idk why.
I'm not sure I would agree with this advice. If your WiFi card isn't recognized by Linux, chances are high that your laptop is pretty new. If it's within the 1st year of release, you are likely to void the warrantee if you as much as just open it up. (Don't necessarily have to touch anything inside it) Even if it isn't new, much worse things can happen to a non-technical user fiddling with his hardware than a software upgrade failing.
In contrast, compiling a driver is child's play even for non-developers. The only part that might be hard, is finding the correct driver if your laptop is super obscure.
How do you get access to non free software for WiFi. Installit manually.
The développer and the community just have to do better for helping on this. That turn down a much more people that you might think.
Sir, you didn't speak a word about Arch linux with i3. In my laptop lenovo z51-70 with intel wifi card the wifi some times works and sometimes didn't work in Arch but same works every time in windows 10
Can you suggest some solution
This was about as useful as a Roel Van de Paar video.
Lolzz it's trash
This is one of the advantages of using the most popular distros, in the almost absolute majority, you avoid or solve problems with ease.
I have HP Laptop - 15s-du1066TU and both WiFi and Bluetooth were working on Windows. After installing linux mint 20.3 WiFi and Bluetooth not found.how to solve this
That laptop has a Realtek WiFi card, which are notorious for having issues with Linux support. That said, you CAN get that to work, but I'd recommend using Ubuntu 22.04 (or something based on that) and you should be able to get WiFi working by using the "Additional Drivers" app that's built-in to Ubuntu and its flavors. Mint is a great distro, but it doesn't do as good of a job with driver support compared to true Ubuntu. Also, there's no version of Mint in existence right now that's new enough, that laptop came out in 2021 and the base Mint release this cycle came out in 2020, so Mint can't do a good job with supporting a computer that was released in the future. You'll want to make sure that the distro you install is the same age (or newer) than your hardware.
f8 really worked to me. lot of gratitude sir
I've listened to this video carefully, I've had this problem when installing Linux Mint to my friend's Toshiba Satellite laptop (Mint is based on Ubuntu, so whatever works on Ubuntu should have worked on Mint too). I've tried to "google" a solution, and it apears WIFI is a common problem for Toshiba's laptops in Linux. I've tried about 10 different fixes, none of them worked. So I've tried another distro MX Linux, and everything worked immediately.
I really don't like most of the solutions to the problem mentioned in this video, especially replacing a WIFI card or using a USB wifi dongle. The only advice here I consider to be good is to try another distribution. And to try the live USB of the distro before installing it to check if all the hardware works properly.
And after reading some of the comments I want to add one more thing - Wifi on the newer PC motherboards sometimes doesn't work too. It probably takes some time before somebody sacrifices his/hers free time to create a driver for Linux (or it can be an updated Kernel), unfortunatelly so many manufacturers still don't bother providing drivers for Linux OS
3:06 wow! I have the same laptop with the same switch, with the same problem now solved. thanks a lot
Please make a video on RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter with slow speed or low range issues in ubuntu and other Debian flavors.
Always wondered about fricking wifi not working now i know why and what to do thanks mate
Please somebody help me, I've been trying to solve this issue but I always end in NOTHING.
I have a Qualcomm Atheros QC6174 802.11ac card but it doesn't work properly, it constantly hangs and the internet speed (at least on linux, with Windows works flawlessly) is ATROCIOUS.
also this happens with EVERY distro.
thanks a lot for "non - free" advice, it worked!
I was having an issue with a customer, he uses Ubuntu 20.04 I think. He can see our WiFi, and when you connect to it, you're suppose to be re-directed to a login page. On his, however, it was re-directed to some other Aruba login page, to which I have no clue what that is. I'm not the network admin, so I wouldn't know if Aruba has anything to do with our setup. Also, our Wifi does not accept any connections with anything 802.11n or older, only AC and newer. Penguin USB wifi's are only N.
Installed Linux on desktop, but rtl8188ee seems to be so hostile with it as no matter which distros I tested, the wifi speed is slow like hell..
is it also the same case for arch?
I had a problem with my HP laptop. It took me ages to fix it. Eventually distro upgrades included the driver.
I had ubuntu 22.04 try and wifi worked i installed no wifi??? (No dual boot just only ubuntu) and i have this laptop THAT YOU CANNOT CONNECT a cable to it 🙏🏼)
For me wifi doesn't work on manually installed Arch linux but does on archinstall arch
I was having issues with bluetooth. I bought the Sabrent USB Bluetooth 4.0 Micro Adapter and it was plug and play.
The weird fact is that when installing the linux the wifi works, but if I close the WIFI and try to restart it, it doesn't work anymore. I use a realtek 8822CE
:) THANKS MUCH! WELL DONE and YES, I have that issue with my newer HP Aero - NO WIFI :( I think it is locked down by HP and have had Thinkpads restrict newer wifi cards. Have been forced to use the USB Dongles IF I find one :) ALL the BEST and Cheers!
I get this repeated authentication required wifi passcode, couldnt find any solution 😞
I have an old Linksys AC6000 Wi-Fi dongle that I'm holding on for dear life, has worked in practically all distros I've tried.
Man, you're the best. I was literally about to start my search on "how to get my WiFi up and running". I clicked on your channel and that was the most recent video. You always stay one step ahead of me!
So what of the solutions worked for you?
so it wasnt just my imagination about wifi and debian. I am running deb 10 wifi works but its "wonky", debian 11 is unusable out of the box. I don't have the time to do the migration to deb 11 fully AND deal with non working wifi drama
ok but when you starting help to solution to fix wifi?why have a lot of chating?
