Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Please execute the following command only once, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal: apport-collect 1856257 When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu- bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs. To look at your issue I'd like to read `dmesg` output.... by using built-in tools much detail we look at is included, currently it's not present. I've subsequently marked this incomplete. When apport-collect has been run, please comment as such and return status to "New". ** Changed in: net-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to net-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856257 Title: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Input/output error Status in net-tools package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My wifi is no longer working since a recent update (yesterday, I think). When typing “ifconfig -a”, I get (among other connections), the following one, which seems to correspond to my wifi card: ```bash wlp59s0: flags=4098<BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 5c:87:9c:fa:81:c9 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 ``` I thus tried to switch it on, but I get the following message: ```bash $ sudo ifconfig wlp59s0 up SIOCSIFFLAGS: Input/output error ``` This error message is not really helpful: I would have expected ifconfig to provide a more user-friendly explanation about what is not working well. Other commands that might be relevant: ```bash $ iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. enp0s20f0u1 no wireless extensions. wlp59s0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:on $ rfkill list all 0: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no $ sudo ip link set wlp59s0 up RTNETLINK answers: Input/output error ``` I’m calling apport-collect on this bug to add other relevant information. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.9 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Dependencies: gcc-8-base 8.3.0-6ubuntu1~18.04.1 libc6 2.27-3ubuntu1 libgcc1 1:8.3.0-6ubuntu1~18.04.1 libpcre3 2:8.39-9 libselinux1 2.7-2build2 DistributionChannelDescriptor: # This is the distribution channel descriptor for the OEM CDs # For more information see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributionChannelDescriptor canonical-oem-somerville-bionic-amd64-20180608-47+berlinetta-cfl-r+X77 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-08-28 (106 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 "Bionic" - Build amd64 LIVE Binary 20180608-09:38 Package: net-tools 1.60+git20161116.90da8a0-1ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-1065.75-oem 4.15.18 Tags: bionic Uname: Linux 4.15.0-1065-oem x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/net-tools/+bug/1856257/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
