Unable to install dkms during install

[David Lewis]

From the ubuntubudgie 17.04 trial desktop, open terminix and cd /media/cdrom/pool/main/d/dkms. Then sudo dkpg -i dkms_2.3-3_all.deb

I need dkms to install the broadcom driver from /media/cdrom/pool/restricted/b/bcmwl.

My current workaround is to install Ubuntu 17.04, set up wifi, and then install ubuntu-budgie-desktop. It's easier than running a lan cable.

fixed in the daily build of 17.10 07/05/17

I downloaded the 64bit image from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-budgie/daily-live/pending/artful-desktop-amd64.iso.

I'll try again in a few days.

David,

  the canonical devs are actually considering an alternative method for this.

They have advised flavors should not explicitly ship build-essential with the desktop.

They are considering making changes later in the cycle - so best revisit this towards the alpha 2 mark.
