ive been trying to setup my 20.04 ubuntu server and get it connected to the internet through wifi, ive been following this website https://linuxconfig.org/ubuntu-20-04-connect-to-wifi-from-command-line, and im to the point that there are no errors being returned when i use netplan apply, but im also not getting anything that says success either from what i can tell i have the formatting of the netplan file correct but just in case here is what ive got

network:
    ethernets:
        enp1s0:
            dhcp4: True
            optional: True
    version: 2
    wifis:
    wlo1:
            optional: true
            access-points:
                "access point name here":
                   password: "password here"

Connect via Ethernet and install wpasupplicant and net-tools.

sudo apt update

sudo apt install wpasupplicant net-tools

Use this .yaml file... use the EXACT same spacing, indentation, and no tabs...

network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    enp1s0:
      dhcp4: true
      optional: true
  wifis:
    wlo1:
      dhcp4: true
      access-points:
        "access point name here":
          password: "password here"

sudo netplan generate

sudo netplan apply

reboot
