you must have typed that while I was typing my last reply

not really a copy/paste , needs to be a copy

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/...10.14-0ubuntu2

this is the "main" package
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/423115...ntu2_amd64.deb

that might be enough

do you know how you are going to get that file from your undisclosed second OS to your Linux Mint?

an external usb disk is probably the easiest

I had install network manager correctly. But I cannot connect to any network. please help me how to connect to wifi through terminal.

Here are some outputs FYI
$ iwconfig

enp7so no wireless extension

wlp6s0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID: off/any
Mode: Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm
Retry short limit: 7 RTS thr: off Fragment thr: off
Power Management: on

lo no wireless connection

$ iwconfig wlp6s0 essid AndroidAP key 12345678 # my wifi network id AndroidAP and its pwd is 12345678

Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
SET failed on device wlp6s0 : Operation not permited.

I'm hoping that is not the real password :D

try as root ( i.e. prefix with sudo )

or, restart

Code:

sudo service network-manager restart

oh wait, you purged the configuration files

Code:

nmcli r wifi on

nmcli d wifi connect AndroidAP password 12345678

if they don't work, try with sudo

Code:

sudo nmcli r wifi on

sudo nmcli d wifi connect AndroidAP password 12345678

It has worked. Thank u very much. The system is now connected to internet. Now can you please help me how to install cinnamon package.

Please don't mind for asking very simple question. I am new in linux. So I will request you to elaborate as much as possible in your suggestion.

Thank you very much again.

Code:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install cinnamon

sudo apt upgrade

update pakage lists
might as well get the newest cinnamon ( and its depends ) now
install cinnamon
upgrade rest of system

once you reboot and get to GUI you may need to reconfigure wifi access

regards new to linux
my advice would be to play with VirtualBox
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
less of a headache if you break it

Don't blindly follow things written on blogs, they are usually poor quality
but with a VM feel free to do the blog stuff

if you wanted to play with wifi in VirtualBox you could do a usb passthough
usb dongles are cheap
tbh it has been a while since I used Virtualbox, I use virt-manager these days
