I am dual booting (Win10/Ubuntu 17.10) and when i go to Ubuntu the wifi networks are there. When i click on one, they dissapear! All of them. And then i can't connect to the Wifi. This also happened in Kubuntu 17.04 when i had it. Here is how it looks.

  • I had a similar problem on my Ubuntu 16.04. Connecting an external wifi-adapter seemed to be the quickest working solution for me. – Kewal Shah Oct 28 '17 at 18:38
  • Have you installed any wireless drivers? – Jeremy31 Oct 28 '17 at 18:42

Solved! I installed Linux Mint KDE and the wireless works good.
