They have worked fine for me for ages (9 in a row before the already old drive kicked the bucket) and I think that they work for most people.
Then again, those were not LTS to LTS upgrades.
I do believe the upgrade tool does suggest backing up data beforehand.
-
I ended up creating a USB image of 18.04 on another computer, then using that to do a "clean" install, and everything seems to be working now.
I really think they should not be including the ability to upgrade distributions anymore, just prompt people to do fresh installs...
ETA: Thanks to everybody who responded and tried to help me out, I really appreciate it!Last edited by jpc2769; Aug 29, 2018, 08:41 AM.Leave a comment:

OK, lsmod | grep iwlwifi does absolutely nothing.
sudo modprobe iwlwifi returns
"ifconfig" returns this:Code:libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-config.c:656 kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf line 9: ignoring bad line starting with '“options'

First, it shows that wicd is still installed:
Secondly, the file: /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.confInstalled: NetworkManager
Wicd
contains:
which is the same in my system. The comment in the file is:remove iwlwifi (/sbin/lsmod | grep -o -e ^iwlmvm -e ^iwldvm -e ^iwlwifi | xargs /sbin/rmmod) && /sbin/modprobe -r mac80211
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8 bt_coex_active=N
“options iwlwifi disable_msix=1”
modinfo iwlwifi# iwlwifi will dyamically load either iwldvm or iwlmvm depending on the
# microcode file installed on the system. When removing iwlwifi, first
# remove the iwl?vm module and then iwlwifi.
shows that the current 18.04 iwlwifi kernel module (iwlwifi.ko) supports:
Dofirmware: iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode
firmware: iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode
lsmod | grep iwlwifi
to see if the iwlwifi kernel module is loaded. IF it is NOT, then try
sudo modprobe iwlwifi
and then do
ifconfig
to see if it is listed. IF it is not, then
sudo ifconfig iwlwifi up
to bring it up. Then
ifconfig
should list it.
iwconfig
will also list it.
If it is listed then NetworkManager can see it.Leave a comment:

Exactly what it tells you to do: sudo apt autoremoveOriginally posted by jpc2769 View Post
Then reboot, and in a Konsole run
rfkill list
and rerun the wirless-info script and post the output of both here. That way we can see what changes have been made by you and the software now that the blocking has been removed.
Also, be sure that
libkf5networkmanagerqt6
libnm0
plasma-nm
are installed, and any dependencies, just to be sure all the necessary apps are installed.
And,
nm-tray
if you want it.Leave a comment:

Done Package 'wicd' is not installed, so not removed The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required: libzxcvbn0 Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

OK I will purge wicd and see what happens.
I have downloaded that archive, what do I do with it?Leave a comment:

Typo! sudo apt purge wicd
Having NetworkManager and wicd on the same installation blocks both from working. NetworkManager works fine.
Looking at the wifi into output, your wifi, the N-6205, uses the iwlwifi driver. Intel says that support for your device was discontinued on Nov 30, 2017.
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us...dual-band.html
The latest firmware is at
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us...etworking.html
which leads to the wiki.kernel.org site
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/_me...18.168.6.1.tgz
which is for the 2.6.35 and higher kernel.
I am running 18.04 and checking for the 6000g2 firmware I see
file:///lib/firmware/iwlwifi-6000g2a-5.ucode
file:///lib/firmware/iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode
file:///lib/firmware/iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode
I downloaded it and looked at its contents using Ark.
As you can see, the date for those files is June 6, 2012 and contains
iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode
which is the second in the 18.04 listing.
If labels mean anything the 3rd listing is the most recent, but I don't know who created it, since it isn't listed on the kernel support site.
So, I suspect that if you rename the other two (past "XXX" in front of their names) and reboot you *might* get your wifi back. At least try them one at a time. (IF ANYONE running 16.04 and using this device will show their output of lsmod it would be helpful).Last edited by GreyGeek; Aug 28, 2018, 12:20 PM.Leave a comment:

purge wife? You want to purge your wife? Should that be wicd instead?

Snowhog is right. NetworkManager and wicd interfere with each other. Use “sudo apt purge wife” to remove it and repost the tests afterwardsLeave a comment:

Be patient at this point. Don't do anything. There are members here who are very familiar with NetworkManager and Wicd issues. From the output of the listing your provided, the following sticks out prominently to me:
You aren't supposed to have more than one network manager installed at the same time, and NetworkManager and Wicd conflict with each other IIRC.Code:[COLOR=#333333]##### network managers ##################[/COLOR] Installed: NetworkManager WicdLeave a comment:
