2015-08-04 18:12:21 Adam Conrad description STEPS: 1. Download the latest daily image of trusty from http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/trusty/daily-live/current 2. Copy this to a usb pendrive using the Disks app 3. Boot from this 4. Select install 5. Select Install 3rd party drivers 6. System reboots after install 7. Reboot to the live desktop 8. Do mkdir tmp 9. sudo mount /dev/sda1 tmp/ 10. sudo mkdir tmp/EFI/boot 11. sudo touch tmp/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi 12. May need to hit F2 and up a new uefi point it to shim.efi on /EFI/ubuntu/ 13. Boot and login 14. Try and connect to wifi EXPECTED: I expect to always be able to get online. ACTUAL: bcmwl-kernel-source is not installed, because there is no cd you can't install the driver from there and there is no ethernet port on this device so you can't install from there either. WORKAROUND: Insert the install usb stick, open a terminal, type: sudo mkdir /media/cdrom sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom Open system settings Select Software and Updates On the Ubuntu Software tab check the box next to the CDrom Close this to update the cache Reopen tap on Additional Drivers tab and click on install the Broadcom 802.11......driver Reboot [ SRU Justification ] WIRELESS NO WORKIE, HALP [ Test Case ] Boot into a live 14.04.3 system, hit a shell, upgrade to ubuntu-drivers-common from -proposed with dpkg -i, and a USB stick sneakernet, because your network doesn't work, and you don't want to perturb the bug by manually making it work, then run ubiquity and see if wireless bits install magically when "third party drivers" is selected. [ Regression Potential ] This same revert exists in utopic -> wily, and is working fine, and I also tested it by hand on an affected trusty machine, where it did the trick, so I don't think there's much chance for the 1-line code change to break. There's a slim chance that the fragile testsuite will explode, but that seemed to work fine here. [ Original Report ] STEPS: 1.
