God I hate to ask this worst than going to the dentist

[Frog]

Yes that was true then but I think I mentioned that I had another website I could use but that I needed a VPN because the program didn't like my IP address .... so I went and installed the free version of Proton VPN and tried it on the website and it worked BUT when I closed out the Proton VPN as I didn't need it any more it crashed my WiFi and I haven been able to use my Wifi since ...

I'm going back to Zorin by way of an ethernet cable so I don't have to go ack and forth from Zorin to Windoze ... see you in a bit ....

[Frog]

Ok here is what I got with that command ..... and it doesn't appear that I can use my ethernet cable as I again have the same problem I had with my WiFi .... so it will take a bit longer as I will be gong back and forth between OS's

[Aravisian]

try

sudo nano /var/log/apt/history.log

if using the terminal.

[Frog]

OK I'll be back

[Frog]

Here is the last part of that list as it doesn't allow me to drag down to the bottom of the screen ... it takes one screen only so I figured you would want the last things I did ... if you need all the info I can copy and paste each screen separately or take a screen shot .... it may take a while as I have to transfer every thing to a thumb drive from Zorin back to Win and past it here ....

Anyway here is what I captured

Gonna take a break and eat lunch .... I'll be back

[Aravisian]

On the very last entry, you have autoremove and what was removed trails off to the far right. Can you just copy and paste that list?

[Frog]

Why sure ... let me get signed in to Zorin ...

[Frog]

Here are the screen shots from the beginning of that entry till the end ....

[Frog]

Aravisian .... I'm sorry for that mess I posted above .... I think this is what you really wanted instead of trying to decipher those photos .....

Gonna call it a day and I will check back in with you folks tomorrow ...

[Aravisian]

I do not see anything in that list that could mess up wifi.
For simplicity... You may try:

sudo rfkill unblock all

Followed with:

sudo update-initramfs -u

[Frog]

Here is the info you requested .... and good morning ... LOL

Have you tested wifi since running those?

[Frog]

Still not working .... here are some photos I took .... the 2nd one shows that I can log into Zorin 16 pro as shown BUT the last Zorin board screen show that it is 2 days old ... and I can't reply to it ... I tried ... I can't log into any other sites .... just shows 2 examples

Not sure if this one is important or not but the 1st one shows my different log-in profiles ... and even though the one selected (which is my Linksys 5gHz) the little pinwheel shows "Visible Networks" like it is still searching ???.... I also have a 2.4gHz and I tried switching to that one also .... same thing .... all the GlobeAtHome as my next door neighbors not mine ....

[StarTreker]

FROG, out of respect for other people's WIFI security, including your own, I truly recommend that you blur out the SSID names on the networks screenshot.

Secondly, the screenshot tells me that you aren't connected to a WIFI network. If you are trying to connect to your WIFI, then you need to click on your WIFI network in that list, and enter your password if requested.

Cause as it appears, you are not connected to a network, and thus, you will have no internet until you do.

[Frog]

OK thank you I deleted the image ... but the one with the check mark is the one I am using and it does have a password installed .... I deleted the 5gHz connection and reentered the name and password and it still does the same thing .... I also did the same with the 4.2gHz connection I tried using it but no luck ...

I can show the set up of the connections if you want .... also I have the funnel showing in my task bar ...

[StarTreker]

I am really hoping that we can help you figure this out, I am trying here buddy. I haven't given up yet. And you can repost that screenshot once the names are blurred or painted out by GIMP.

And yes you can share connections as long as any identifiable numbers or passwords are not shown.

[Frog]

OK I know you are and I appreciate it .... I really didn't think there was anything wrong with showing the connections as I see hers all the time but of coarse not the passwords ...

Sorry I don't use Gimp .... tried it a couple of times years ago and hated it ... there were just to many bells and whistles and I'm just a simple man ... LOL

I'll check and see if I already have copies of those photos of my connection and post them after looking for a way to delete the name of the connection .... be right back ...

[Frog]

Well don't know how to block out all the critical stuff so I'll have to tell you ....

Signal Strength ---- good
Link Speed ----- 866Mb/s (5.2GHz)
Security ---- WPA, WPA2
IPv4 .... xxxxxxxx ---- (it is connected)
IPv6 .... xxxxxxxx ---- (it is connected)
Hardware Address ---- xxxxxxxxxxxx
Supported Freq. ---- 2.4GHz/5GHz
Default Route ----- xxxxxxxxx
DNS ----- xxxxxxxx

X ---- Connected automatically
X ---- Make available to other users

[StarTreker]

Well, according to that, it looks like you are indeed connected, and you have a strong connection if your link speed is a solid 866MBPS.

I am starting to wonder if the issue is related to DNS connection issues. I am sure you have already thought of rebooting your internet modem and router by now. Do you know how to go into your router, and set it to connect to Googles DNS 8.8.8.8.

It is known to be reliable, and fast speeds. I don't know how to do it with your router specifically, but there should be a guide on the net on how to do it on your router. I am honestly thinking this might be a real DNS issue going on.
