How to enable wireless on Ubuntu Server 18.04 via CLI?












1














I cannot get wpasupplicant, wireless-tools, and also lib, iwconfig (Iget ifconfig) to operate on my Server 18.04 install.

I have Windows 10 on laptop. External HD with 18.04 Desktop and 18.04 Server.
Wireless works fine on the other two OS, but not non-GUI Server CLI.
I can’t install packages with no wireless.



I AM ABLE to go to https://packages.ubuntu.com/ and get any package I want via search.
I AM ABLE to save these *.deb files on the /home drive of the server partition, reboot into Server, run some sudo dpkg and sudo apt-get install commands (all CLI). Some of it appears to install some but I get a lot of errors too. My guess is it’s trying to reach out over wireless for some of the packages parts but no wireless enabled? I’m not sure what a good order of package installs to enable wireless would be.
It seems that this issue would have a “recipe” for a good method and order of installation of certain packages to enable your intel 7265 network controller (wlo1), if not a basic recipe for installing packages for wireless without wireless or ethernet access.



Remember, I can surf the net with Desktop and download packages to a server directory.



Right now every package seems to be looking for missing parts. I’m hunting with a blindfold.


I'm using WPA encryption.



These are *.deb packages and *.iso files I have access to in server:

    Ubuntu server 18.04 and later use netplan, not /etc/network/interfaces. Do you have a wireless interface? Please edit your question to show the result of these terminal commands: iwconfig and also: cat /etc/netplan/*.yaml Welcome to Ask Ubuntu.
