wifi not connecting problem in ubuntu
sometimes in ubuntu the wifi will not connect to the network,
it will continiously try to connect to a wifi network but will fail
continously. for this apply the following fix:
1. open terminal - > type in 'ifconfig' -> enter
it will list the available networks like this:
enp2s0 Link encap:Ethernet
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
wlp3s0 Link encap:Ethernet
2. now enter 'ifconfig wlp3s0 down'
this command needs super user privilages so do use sudo.
3. now enter 'ifconfig wlp3s0 up'
now try connecting to the network.
