I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
I connected to Ethernet to install Network Manager using the following command
sudo apt-get install network-manager
All went perfectly with no errors. I then start Network Manager with
service network-manager start
Then finally I go to connect to my Wifi with the following command
nmcli d wifi connect <Wifi Name> Password <Password>
When I do this I get the following error:
Error: Connection activation failed: (5) IP configuration could not be reserved (no available address, timeout, etc.).
I found another thread suggesting to use the command journalctl -f
to see the logs on the error. Nothing appears strange here, nowhere does it say anything is missing or broken.
lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A3 returns

nmcli dev status returns

What is going on here? Does anybody know how I can fix this, or at least how I can connect to my Wifi at all?
