WIFI works but I no networks are visible

I have xubuntu 20.04 installed on a raspberry pi 4 4GB. im tweaking things to make it right and I can't seem to make my wifi networks visible. Under "select a network" it says "no networks". Before i installed the gui I added my wifi credentials on server and the wifi still works regardless...

Any help will be great. Thanks!

Sounds like your using network manager to setup your wifi but in 20.04 you need to do one change in /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml for it to work.

Change the line that says renderer: systemd to renderer: NetworkManager

I did a reboot after that and then the wifi networks are visible in the network manager again, but you can probably use the netplan command to get the same affect.

Hey thanks for the reply. I tried to nano /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml and theres nothing in there. What is the netplan command?

Thanks!

Do you have any files in /etc/netplan ? And you need to sudo to edit that file.
