[SOLVED] problem in installing tools and patches on ubuntu

mayur_ · 12-04-2013, 09:43 AM

Wifi on my ubuntu doesnt work . So i gotta download tools from some other source and install on my ubuntu. So how am i supposed to do this? Intructions in LFS book shows how to install tools from linux directly . How am i supposed to do it now?
Please forgive if question is too lame im new to linux :-)

can you paste these commands into a terminal and copy the output into your next post:

Code:

echo uname: && uname -a -m -p && echo lspci: && lspci && echo lsusb: && lsusb && echo lsmod: && lsmod && echo ifconfig: && ifconfig && echo ifconfig -a: && ifconfig -a && echo iwconfig: && iwconfig && echo resolv.conf: && cat /etc/resolv.conf && echo route: && route -n

it should help someone determine what wifi card you have and if there is extra software you would need to install. do you have access to the internet via ethernet ? are there any switches that need to be toggled on the keyboard to enable the wifi (my laptop has a physical button as well as a fn+f10 key combo that would disable wifi) ?

Which WiFi chipset is it?
Do you have a wired connection on the machine you can use to install the wireless drivers and firmware or will you have to move them over from another machine using a USB stick or similar?
There are some wireless chipsets that need a lot more work than others, and not having another way to connect to the internet will complicate things, but sometimes it's a simple as installing the drivers from the proprietary drivers tab on software sources and drivers.

Isnt there any way where i could download these stuff and install on my ubuntu using USB ? . Actually i do not have fast internet at my home but at my university so i could just download it from there and bring it through pen drive.

There is but it is more difficult.
First you need to find out which card you have, you can do this by typing "lspci" (without the quotes) in the terminal.
Edit: I missed schneidz's post -- that's the information you need.

the output of schneidz's post is :

^ seems incomplete (also, use code tags).

this is your wifi card:
google(04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01))[1] = http://askubuntu.com/questions/21926...n-ubuntu-12-10

the rest of the information mite give a better explanation why its not connecting.

i have a toggle switch to turn WiFi on and off.. despite turning it on it doesnt show up at all

schneidz · 12-04-2013, 11:35 AM

this mite be a solution but it requires internet access:

Code:

    sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
    sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source
    sudo modprobe wl

mayur_ · 12-04-2013, 11:40 AM

hmmm... i might try getting a wired net connection for my laptop anyway thanks for the help!.
i'll repost on this thread tomorrow..anyway just curious to know... right now im at chapter 5 installing tools for LFS..what am i going to come up with next after installing all tools? are these tools gonna do all work for us? do i have to do some coding? im pretty good at C , C++ ,JAVa and C#

snowday · 12-04-2013, 11:54 AM

This page has detailed instructions how to get Broadcom wireless working in Ubuntu when there is no internet connection:

The basic idea for LFS is to build the final system using brand new compiling tools and utilities that are not linked to or dependent upon anything in the host system. Those "brand new" compiling tools and utilities are the toolchain created in chapter 5 of the LFS book. So starting with chapter 6, the new compilers, assemblers, linkers, libraries, and so on in the new toolchain are used to build the packages of the final system, and host system is only needed to provide a running kernel.

P.S.: This wireless stuff being discussed here is all well and good for your Ubuntu system. Carry on with that if you wish. But if you can get the 50 or 60 LFS tarballs in your /sources directory by any of various means, then you can begin working on the LFS steps. You could, for example, download and verify them on another computer and transfer them to the LFS computer using a flash drive.

But the earlier guy said that it will be complicated if you get it from flash drive. Is it easy? Can you explain how? Because it is very convinient for me to download those tools from my university they got good download speed. I can easily get them through flash drive

thanks guys the problem is solved. Thank you guys for help it wouldnt have been possible without you
Thanks again! Have a great day
