Well, I successfully installed LXLE, Lubuntu, and Xubuntu, all 14.04 versions. I was able to get the wireless working in Lubu and Xubu by connecting a LAN cable during the install, and after the first reboot installing the following packages: bcmwl-kernel-source (6.30.223.141+bdcom-0ubuntu2) broadcom-sta-common (6.30.223.141-1) broadcom-sta-source (6.30.223.141-1) That gave me the wl driver for my BCM43228 adapter. The b43 driver didn't support this hardware. The video worked fine, the installer installed the xserver-xorg-video-ati and xserver-xorg-video-radeon packages. Only one glitch I haven't figured out yet. On Lubu and Xubu, when I go to logout or shutdown; when I click on the logout icon on the bar in the lower right corner, it takes about 60 seconds (I haven't actually timed it) for the Logout/Shutdown/etc menu to appear. Once it appears though, any selection is acted on immediately. This only happens on Lubu and Xubu, LXLE works fine. Other than that, I did try the Fn+F8 key combo to reduce screen brightness. It didn't work. I didn't test the other Fn+ keys yet. Anyway, that 's the latest. -- ->Jerry<- -- Lubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
