Plugging In Iphone Disables Wifi
#5
@ stevef Thank you for the reply!!!

Quote:Yes, the restore point tool is called 'System Restore Utility' and uses a program called Timeshift.
Found under Menu-> System->
However it only runs on demand (not automatically) so unless you have run it fairly recently it won't help here.

Evidently I do not have enough SSD space to run this program and have not run it manually so I doubt I even have a usable restore point.  Something I should probably maintain in the future once I reformat my OS.

I do have a wifi symbol at the bottom right-hand side of the screen.  It looks like a monitor but has an "x" indicating no network.
I am unable to turn on wifi via network manager, it is grayed out and not selectable.  Enable networking box is selected.
My version of LL does not have "Advanced Network Configuration."  It does have network manager, which just shows the WiFi newtworks I've been previously connected to and a bit of their information.  It does not show available networks, nor does it show my neighbors' wifi, which is always listed.

Entering that code into the terminal results in:

I did have to copy and paste to another machine I did my best to keep the layout as it was in the terminal.

Let me know if you see anything from that.  It shows my Wi-Fi network has been disabled.
