You have been subscribed to a public bug: This is not rare issue, and will be more needed, since people will stop using 32-bit windows and will want to have Ubuntu 18.04 32-bit to work out-of-box and even before end of life comming to this in 2023 year, then it was already not a rare issue. Needs to be fixed before EOL, so that old 32- bit people can join to fix with old computers that wont work on windows to fix bug #1
So was trying to find out why i have errors when updating just clean installed 32 bit 18.04.5 for thinking that i moved lan. I think moved, but turns out also had another problem- wifi driver isnt automatically installed even when have lan connection and need to search around. Some people finding solution (cant find this link now) has been installing also broadcom-sta-dkms, that made lan not work and for newbies and me a little knowing, its hard to think to remove something that im just for testing triaging solution finding process installing wrong one. So need to have package installed when its been hardware detected or mentions, that need to get new package for wifi thrue manual USB delivery and command help or lan connection, if exists. Package sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer installs also b43-fwcutter It should be that hardware is detected and auto selected to install. TL:DR Long story with error commands. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1387292/old-32-bit-dell-inspiron-1300-18-04-5-kubuntu-installing-with-3rd-party-soft-l?noredirect=1#comment2395343_1387292 Others with problem already SINCE 16.04 https://askubuntu.com/a/1387312/9550 Before people were doing it manually, then was made that firmware-b43-installer using this b43-fwcutter manual solution https://askubuntu.com/questions/689568/dell-inspiron-1300-installed-now-no-internet ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+19ubuntu7.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-94.106~18.04.1-generic 5.4.157 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-94-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.27 Architecture: i386 CompositorRunning: None Date: Sat Jan 15 23:41:10 2022 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: bionic DistroVariant: ubuntu GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller [8086:2592] (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Dell Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller [1028:01c9] Subsystem: Dell Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller [1028:01c9] InstallationDate: Installed on 2022-01-15 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 18.04.5 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release i386 (20200806.1) Lsusb: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub MachineType: Dell Inc.
