I can’t enable WiFi on Linux Lite - SuperSpruce - 04-30-2021

The button to enable Wi-Fi stopped working out of nowhere (Linux Lite). Tried rebooting and updating the system, nothing worked. It’s not that I can’t connect to a specific network, it’s that there’s a unchecked check box that says “enable WiFi,” but when I click it the check box stays unchecked.

Yes, I looked at tutorials that use the terminal, and I still couldn’t get it to work.

If this all doesn’t work, I’m gonna try switching to Xubuntu.

(I posted this here instead of “other software issues” to not ruin the exactly 6969 posts in that category lol)

What device do you have for wifi? Is it internal or external?

Hi [member=48300]SuperSpruce[/member] ,
Maybe I could gave you a hint on what is the problem.
I need some information about who is your system and why the whifi is blocked or not.

Could you post the output of the following terminal commands?
Code:
inxi -FN

Code:
rfkill list all

Code:
dmesg | grep NetworkManager

You do NOT need switch to Xubuntu, it does same thing
