wifi

Hi Guys,

I am new to linux and I just installed Zorin on my laptop. First of all it now works like it should do instead of going so slop and freezing all the time with my old windows softaware.

However, I can't connect to the wifi as there is no option that allows me to turn the wifi on. I have uploaded a photo so you can see what I see.

I am thinking that it's a hardware problem but the wifi was working before I installed Zorin so could it be a comparability problem?

Many thanks for your help in advance

Allan

Hi,

using a network cable, open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + t) and run the following commands:

Code:

sudo apt-get install -f

then:

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f

Then restart and see if the WiFi appears!.
