[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1958038] Re: What package to report this about? Wifi driver not by default, but package is available.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Bug reporting is about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug. I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709 The last planned 18.04 ISO was 18.04.5, so new installation media is/was expected. Extra media was required because of the boothole vulnerability (because 18.04.5 media no longer booted on fully patched hardware) thus the re-spin of 18.04.6 for Ubuntu (flavors were already EOL at that point so no media was created for them). I'm not sure what your issue is, but 18.04 is a release in maintenance mode only for packages that are still supported being Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Cloud, and Ubuntu Base. For this issue to be resolved, it should be addressed on the current development release (currently jammy or what will be 22.04) as 18.04 was developed, released and is now just maintained for security patches for certain packages. I'll change the status to "Incomplete" as it appears you're after a change in ISO production but have used an inappropriate release for that purpose. If it still occurs with current development media I'd suggest re-filing a new bug report. Kubuntu 18.04 is EOL (https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-18-04-lts-bionic- beaver-reaches-end-of-kubuntu-support/) & no changes to media will be performed for 18.04 media. ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => kubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: kubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1958038 Title: What package to report this about? Wifi driver not by default, but package is available. Status in kubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: 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
