No Wifi Results after using Disconnect/Remove Wifi Config

@trigger_death Power down the Pi in the proper manner. Restart your home router while the Pi is off. Keep the router off for at least a minute. Reboot the router.Wait until it sorts its'self out. Re-connect the Pi to the electricity. What happens?

[trigger_death]

The list is still empty.

@trigger_death type iwconfig into the terninal. What is the output. And I mean the Pi terminal...

[trigger_death]

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:off/any
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated       Tx-Power=31 dBm
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:on

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

[columboscoat]

@trigger_death your wifi is off. Do you have an ethernet cable and access to your router?

[trigger_death]

Yes and yes.

[columboscoat]

@trigger_death plug it all in and reboot.

[trigger_death]

If you mean connect my Pi to ethernet, it's been on ethernet this entire time.

[columboscoat]

@trigger_death then post iwconfig output again.

[columboscoat]

@trigger_death Ha! Sorry!

[trigger_death]

I didn't notice any differences. Like I said I've been on ethernet since the start. :P

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:off/any
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=31 dBm
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:on

lo        no wireless extensions.

@trigger_death DO YOU HAVE A CUSTOM SETUP? IF NOT PLEASE REFLASH THE IMAGE. IT WILL BE QUICKER THAN MANUALLY CONFIGURING THE CONNNECTIVITY.

[trigger_death]

Nope, I don't have a custom setup but... wouldn't reflashing the image erase everything I've modified on my RetroPie since setting it up?

[columboscoat]

@trigger_death it would... but it means you have a fairly standard setup. Just as a by the way have you tried just reconnecting to wifi via the ES menu?

[trigger_death]

That's how I've been trying to connect to the Wifi the entire time. Through the RetroPie Wifi App.

[columboscoat]

@trigger_death Have you tried via the desktop or through the commmand line interface /terminal?

[trigger_death]

I haven't installed any desktop interface and I'm not familiar with how to do it through terminal.

[trigger_death]

Also I'm flashing a new image to a spare Micro SD I have.

[columboscoat]

@trigger_death go to the desktop. I assume it is PIXEL. Top right hand corner. Do you see a wifi logo or a broken connection?

[trigger_death]

startx doesn't seem to be recognized.

If I recall, the desktop environment isn't installed with RetroPie by default.
