Connection works, iwconfig doesn't

I am trying to get information about my wlan0 connection from iwconfig. When I run iwconfig I get this:



wlan0     no wireless extensions.


When I run ifconfig I get



wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:04:4b:8c:b5:bb  

      inet addr:10.1.10.165  Bcast:10.1.255.255  Mask:255.255.0.0

      collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 

      RX bytes:7299987 (7.2 MB)  TX bytes:469380 (469.3 KB)


My connection has an IP address, and I'm connected to this machine over ssh, so I know the internet is working. If I run nmcli commands it appears to be normal. Why then does iwconfig not display information about this connection.

          flock() on closed filehandle LOCK_FILE at /usr/bin/apt-mirror

          Image
          0 I recently upgraded an Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine to 18.04. I regularly use this VM to run apt-mirror at school on their high-speed internet, then rsync these files to my rack-mount server at home for updating multiple computers at home without wasting the tiny amount of bandwidth I have there. Since updating I can't get apt-mirror to run on my VM. It keeps giving the error: flock() on closed filehandle LOCK_FILE at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 214 immediately followed by: apt-mirror is already running, exiting at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 217 apt-mirror is NOT running, and does not have a cron job. I've tried rebooting, and even looked for the old-style lockfile to delete, but I guess that method is no longer used. Is there some way to force unlock this so I can run apt-mirror? UPDATE: So...
