      Hi,

      I've installed UT using the 16.04/rc channel and my wifi doesn't appear to be working. I've even tried the commands as suggested here:

      Re: Nexus 5 16.04 wifi didn't work [fix]

      but it still doesn't work.

      This is what I'm doing:

      phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ nmcli r wifi on
      phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ nmcli g
      STATE CONNECTIVITY WIFI-HW WIFI WWAN-HW WWAN
      disconnected none enabled enabled enabled enabled

      And there are no wifi connections found in the wifi settings. I do recall seeing a post on GitHub about this that it may be due to the frequency of the router, but I'm not certain. Wifi works fine on the stable release, as it should.

      I'd appreciate any help with this.

        Hi,
        I just had similar issue with the wifi today.
        (Nexus 5 in RC too)

        I was lazy and just rebooted (didn't want to search for the commands) => it worked
        Lomiri reboot wasn't enough though (but maybe I just was lucky - second time is a charm)

          I tried rebooting it but still no luck for me.

            Did you try switching to Stable see if it works and then switch back to RC ?

              OK, I did that and it worked. But when I follow these instructions for installing android apps, that's when the wifi disappears as I stated earlier. Weird.

              What I did was

              export CODENAME="hammerhead" && export PARTITIONNAME="boot"
              wget http://cdimage.ubports.com/anbox-images/anbox-boot-$CODENAME.img
              adb shell # connect from your host computer to your UT device
              sudo fastboot flash $PARTITIONNAME anbox-boot-$CODENAME.img
              sudo fastboot reboot
              rm anbox-boot-$CODENAME.img
              exit
              

              as stated in the instructions. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

                @budrz Sorry, no idea.
                I don't fiddle with Anbox

                  @budrz, these steps are not required any more. Only the anbox-tool installation is required now.

                        I got the problem figured out. I'm trying to edit the post as solved but it gives me an error message saying that I can't post for 3600 (s) but I think it's been well over that.

                            @Lakotaubp Thank you. Also, my other post has been solved as well, if that's not too much to ask.
