wireless doesn't work after upgrading to 15.04












2















I know this was already answered by Evan T at Unable to connect to wireless network following upgrade to 15.04, however, I am having some trouble doing all the indicated steps: after sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf, I receive the message:



(gedit: 1627): Gtk-Warning **: Calling Inhibit failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files


After typing "sudo rmmod iwlmvm iwlwifi" I received another two error messages:



rmmod: ERROR: Module iwlmvm is not currently loaded
rmmod: ERROR: Module iwlwifi is not currently loaded


Also, I don't know if this is related to the wireless internet problem, but the laptop doesn't recognise the mouse (in any USB port, the mouse is wireless).
Thank you!

  • Unless you are also using a laptop with an Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3160 [8086:8470] chipset (which uses the iwlwifi driver), then the steps given are NOT going to do much for you. Start by identifying the WiFi chipset. eg. output from lsusb, or lspci -nn

This looks simple enough.



Looking at: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi



Download driver, copy to correct location, etc.



--



That said, it should already work in 15.04 ..






share|improve this answer
























  • :( I downloaded the driver for my chipset in my phone, since I cannot use the internet with the laptop. After connecting the phone to the laptop with a usb cable, it seems that the laptop has any reaction to it. If it's only the wireless rhat is not working, shouldn't I be able to have cable internet at least? Sorry if my question seems silly, but I don't knoq much on programing ..

Seems like backports might be the easiest way to fix this




sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic
wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/2015/03/13/backports-20150313.tar.xz
tar xvfJ backports-20150313.tar.xz
cd backports-20150313
make defconfig-iwlwifi
make
sudo make install


Reboot

  • I let the internet cable plugged all day and run from time to time the software updater and somehow the system managed to install the necesary updates left and then asked the reboot. :) And now it works - both the internet and the mouse. (Also the sound was affected, the players were working but the songs were "mute".) I'm sorry we could not track the initial cause of all this, but I am very glad that everything works ok now.
