I have a fresh install of ubuntu 17.10 .. After installation, I was able to browse the internet, but 1 day later, and even though wi-fi appears listed as working, it is not.

I've searched around for some solution to this and have seen that I should run 

gksudo gedit /etc/NetWorkManager/NetworkManger.conf

and make changes there.. however, gksudo is not something which comes with 17.10, I think, and I can't install it as no internet..

Is there a work around for this problem?

And since this is apparently a bug from 17.04 (?) is it not fixed in 17.10?

first of all try 

ping 192.168.1.1

or if you use a public wi-fi replace the 192.168.1.1 with your modem address

then if the packets lost your modem has problem

but if your modem is right try 

ping 8.8.8.8

if packets back correctly open your terminal (with ctrl+alt+t or typing terminal in your dash) and write sudo vim /etc/resolve.conf (i use vim you can use your editor but it is better that your editor hasn't gui like gedit) and then type your password and replace the ip address next of the nameserver with 8.8.8.8 and then type

you can test this with 4.2.2.4 or other dns address

and then ask your isp maybe they have a problem

by the way if you install tor purge it by sudo apt purge tor and then type sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service maybe you can't install tor correctly
