Public bug reported:
Since installing Lubuntu 16.04, I cannot connect to wireless network.
I had no problem in any previous release, including the most recent, 15.10.
I originally was using Network-Manager[-Gnome] packages, but then tried
ConnMan and Wicd. In all three, I can connect with Ethernet, but not wireless.
My hard drive has room for 5 16GB partitions for operating systems, plus
one for swap and one for my personal data. Instead of upgrading, I just
overwrite the oldest version of [L]ubuntu with the new version. Thus I
have several older versions from which I can boot (except that for some
reason L 15.10 won't boot). I have run a recommended script for
wireless problems ("wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums
/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info && chmod +x wireless-info &&
./wireless-info")under both the current L 16.04, and under the previous
L 14.10 , and will attach an archive file containing both text files.
I had intended to file this bug under Network-Manager, until I found
that the same problem exists for the other two network managers.
If someone can recommend a particular package where the bug is likely to
originate, I can copy this bug report there.
I assume that the bug lies in something lower level that each of the
three network manager programs calls to execute their connecting
function(s), but am not versed enough to know what that could be.
Please advise (both in telling where to file the bug, and how to fix the
problem).
Thank you.
