Title:
Reading Broadcom STA wireless drivers from CD-Rom
Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
When I use Ubuntu from the cd-rom in trial mode, I can install the
Broadcom STA wireless drivers, and then connect to my home wireless
network.
Once Ubuntu is installed on my system, there doesn't seem to be any
successful way to get the drivers off the CD. I go to software
sources and click on the Cdrom with Ubuntu 10.04 'Lucid Lynx' and
close it. It says: "The informa ion about available software is out-
of-date" and at the bottom says that I need a working internet
connection to continue. I close this because I assume it means for
the on line stff. I then go to the System -> Administration ->
Hardware Drivers and find Broadcom STA wireless drivers listed. I go
to install this, but keep getting a message:
Failed to fetch cdrom: [Ubuntu 10.04.01 LTS_Lucid Lynx_-Release i386
(20100816.1)]/<directory path>/<filename>.deb
for a series of files. I can same Version is available in a software
channel
When I close the message and hit the install graphic, it runs the
file. On the Hardware Driver screen I can continue with the install
of the drivers, but I keep getting messages that it can't find the
file.
I would assume I had bad files on the CD if it didn't install the same
drivers when running trial mode, but it runs just fine in the trial
mode.
I am suspicious of the spaces in the CD path name. I have been
working on UNIX (HPUX and SUN Solaris) for about 15 years, and seeing
spaces in a file name makes me nervous. They can be used if the
file/directory name is enclosed in double quotes, but I don't see that
here.
I did try changing the .iso file so that there were no spaces in the
mount point that appears on my screen when that disk is in the reader.
I copied the file off the ntfs system, used the strings command to
find the Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS i386 string. I then did a:
sed -e s/"Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS i386"/Ubuntu_10.04.1_LTS_i386/g
ubuntu10041.iso > ubuntu10041b.iso
to create a new file and put this back in the ntfs file system. Note
that I changed the name of the iso file to eliminate the spaces in it.
I can make an installable disk from this and install Ubuntu. When I
bring up the installed system, the DVD+R icon says
Ubuntu_10.04.1_LTS_i386 (no spaces). However, I still have the same
problems because it doesn't seem to use that in the driver install
process.
As a side note, I tried to change the string from "Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
i386" to ubuntuboot, but because I shortened the file, it no longer
makes a bootable disk.
