[Solved] Re: WLAN missing on freshly installed Laptop

[Andree Evers]

I Installed 16.04 and 14.04.4 on my Asus X751L and my msi A7200 on both 
Laptops i Always use WLAN and it Works all fine.

I See 2 other Probs on my PCs I Installed GUFW try to run nothing in my 
Terminal i can Enable and disable UFW i don't know why GUFW won't run on 
both Laptops with 16.04.
And Discover i can't search for anything i try for searching for 
Firefox, Thunderbird, Midnight Commander, NFOView all Searchings result 
in a blank white screen...
Search don't work on both Laptops i installed everything with Terminal...

This 2 things i found and on both Laptops i see the Message "Synaptic 
Backend" is not installed for my Touchpad i see this on both Laptops.
Best Regards from Germany
