Ubuntu Mate

Hi Glenn, I’d agree with Alan and suggest you move up to something more recent.

 

How are you trying to get to your networks in Unity? Unity was my favorite desktop while it was around. After it went away, I switched to Gnome.

 

I’m just going by memory, but in Unity, I’d suggest hitting alt+f10 and then left arrow to get into the system menus. Once you find the network menu item arrow down to find your wifi networks. I hope this helps. Like I said, I’m just going off of my memory since I haven’t used Unity in probably around five years.

Hi Glenn,

I downloaded Ubuntu 16.10 from Ubuntu.com and it booted to Unity.

The problem with that is that I cannot get to any of the system Internet and Networks to connect to my WIFI.

I thought that Mate came starting with 16.

Unity is awful.

If I cannot find 16.10 Mate, how am I supposed to connect to WIFI?

 

 

16.10 is long past its support window, I'm afraid. 

if you're looking for Ubuntu MATE specifically, their supported releases can be found at https://ubuntu-mate.org/

 

Cheers,
