A missing Wi-Fi menu, a missing adapter, and one missing network are different failures. Follow this evidence-first Ubuntu workflow to locate the broken layer before restarting services or changing drivers.
Prefer `apt install ./package.deb` so Ubuntu can resolve repository dependencies in one transaction. If `dpkg -i` already left packages unpacked or unconfigured, diagnose the exact state, repair it without blind removals, and verify the package database.
A practical Ubuntu workflow for turning AVI and other supported sources into broadly compatible MP4 video. Use HandBrake’s official Flatpak, choose a preset intentionally, protect the source, and verify video, audio, subtitles, and playback.
Use Ubuntu’s libusb development package for ordinary application builds, or compile a reviewed upstream release into an isolated prefix when you need a newer or controlled version. Then verify the complete toolchain with pkg-config and a real USB device-enumeration program.
