Ubuntu 16.04 LTS – Wired connection detected but Internet not working

internet connectionUbuntuubuntu 16.04wifi-configuration

Enable WiFi option not showing at all. And when I tried connecting through USB hotspot from my mobile, it is getting connected but the Internet is not working while it is working pretty well on my mobile. USB hotspot is working fine on Windows 8 installed alongside Ubuntu. I have used USB hotspot from the same mobile before on Ubuntu and it used to work. My hardware is Hp-ac039TU.

Looks like your wifi adaptor is blocked by kernel. Open a terminal window, and execute following commands:

sudo rfkill unblock wifi; sudo rfkill unblock all

After that, reboot you machine, hopefully it will solve you problem.

In your zsh configuration, does anything output right after you login or open a terminal?

I had a similar issue where rsync would complain about a dirty terminal (I forget the exact message, but basically rsync didn't see what it was expecting to see in the remote connection). It turned out, the problem was the fortune command I had added to my .bashrc; it was printing out a fortune message at the start of every SSH connection, regardless of if it was an interactive session or not.

In my case, I added the below snippet to the top of my .bashrc, which cleared up the problem:

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[[ $- != *i* ]] && return
