@TamaniPhiri Do you know how to get the internet to work for the terminal? Firefox works great and like that. But i cant download or do sudo apt update for example in terminal. It continues to say that it cant fetch that downloads. I think there is something in the settings or maybe the proxy is interfering with the downloads from terminal. Any help?
