I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 and, due to my Wifi often cutting out, I decided to disabled network manager and install WICD instead (using this tutorial).
It works great, and my Wifi doesn't cut out anymore. Only problem is that I can no longer connect to localhost. Can somebody please help me?
$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d
I have a dual boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04 machine. I can connect to Wifi fine on Windows, but when using Ubuntu it disconnects every 10-20 minutes or so. When this happens, I can always get it working again with:
sudo rmmod wl
sudo modprobe wl
I've tried suggestions from similar posts (e.g., disabling IPv6, setting REGDOMAIN=GB in /etc/default/crda and installing linux-firmware), but nothing has worked so far. I'd be very grateful if anybody could help.
