No wifi in Lubuntu. wlp5s0: mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000

us flag

Quick intro:

  • I'm new at Linux, but i love to learn and research
  • From one day to another wifi just stopped working
  • It works fine in other devices
  • I've been trying for 2 days and still nothing

Info:

  • My operating system is Lubuntu 20.04 (not Ubuntu, but almost everything works just like Ubuntu)
  • I'm on a laptop so I don't use ethernet
  • ping localhost works fine (so it's not a hardware problem)
  • Clicking the network doesn't do anything and all networks appear with an x mark.
  • ip link outputs the following:
3: wlp5s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
  • Driver info:
    • r8168
    • RTL810xE PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller
  • Driver is updated (Synaptic doesn't show any upgrade) and it's being used Note: I'm not sure if this driver is for the wifi or for ethernet.
  • I've restarted the networked manager in all the ways and nothing, rebooting the computer doesn't work neither
  • Used sudo ifup wlp5s0 and now shows UNKNOWN, but still nothing.
wlp5s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000

temporarily

Here is the output of sudo journalctl -b 0 -u NetworkManager (I don't know if it's useful).

I really don't know how to proceed, so I would appreciate any help.

The title of your question implies ethernet; enp1s0. The body of your question asks about wifi but refers to an ethernet driver. Please clarify by editing your question.

Look at the logs! `sudo journalctl -b 0 -u NetworkManager`. Read `man journalctl`.

Not sure what you mean, but I've updated it with the output of the command

Remove `r8168` and try with the in-tree `r8169` module.

Please edit your question to show the result of: `rfkill list all` and: `sudo iwlist wlp5s0 scan` You needn't tell us the scan results; just tell us if access points are seen or not.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
