I previously tried to manually update the kernel via Terminal and ran into a series of errors from the apt which refused to fully install the kernet update. After several unsuccessful attempt through various other Terminal means, the update seemed to be accepted; but after rebooting my machine; the Intel WiFi drivers collapsed and I no longer could connect to the internet. After reinstalling previously saved Intel drivers from my Trash bin, I managed to get the Bluetooth to work, and then I used the UBS tethering feature of my startphone to connect this machine to the Internet, which till this moment; is my only method of going online. I consulted with a professioanl web-developer from Europe, whom confirmed this bug and suggested I report it; which I am now doing. Thanks to the kernel developers for all your hard work. You're such appreciated! ;-) PS: Here's additional info --- frederick@frederickpina:~$ cat/proc/version_signature>version.log bash: cat/proc/version_signature: No such file or directory ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: linux-image-5.4.0-33-generic 5.4.0-33.37 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-33.37-generic 5.4.34 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-33-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: frederick 1983 F.... pulseaudio CRDA: Error: command ['iw', 'reg', 'get'] failed with exit code 1: nl80211 not found.
