no wifi

Hi,

I am new in Linux thats why I choos Zorin.
I have 15.2 lite version installed.

My first problem is after the installation and booting from the hard drive there is no wifi icon. I cant connect to internet.

Previously the installation when the whole thing boot up from usb drive there was a wifi icon available and was no problem to use it and connect to internet. But after the installation and using the os from the hdd it has disapired.

I couldent find any information how to get able to connect to wifi.

I am asking you to help because without it my linux journey will be really short.

Thx, BR

Hi, Are you able to connect to the router using ethernet cable at all? If so can you open a terminal and enter:

Code:

sudo apt-get install net-tools

- you will be asked for your login password to elevate you to 'root' (administrator) in order to install the package. Once installed please run:

Code:

sudo ifconfig -a

and post back the results.

XFCE is highly configurable with lots of options, but sometimes it is a bit trying hunting them all down until you have learned the system.
Cinnamon is MUCH easier to use for a new user, whereas KDE desktop is a nightmare trying to find and enable the wifi... I give up every time I try in utter frustration. I have only ever heard about how great KDE is, I have never experienced it and probably never will.
Gnome desktop is pretty easy and automatic with the wifi, too. But it has other failings that cause me to never use it.

You are in safe ground with XFCE or with Cinnamon. I understand your frustration. These days, an unconnected computer is a very large paperweight for most people.
