HP Pavilion DM1 no wifi
Post by lee trenchard » Thu Jul 21, 2022 5:22 am
Trying to resurrect an old Hp laptop as above.
Loaded Linux Mint 20 XFCE and it’s all working fine except, on the network icon on the taskbar there’s no option to find wifi.
I assume this means it hasn’t found the wifi card driver? Plugging it in to my router works fine.
It’s 64 bit XFCE and I have fully updated it.
Any help much appreciated.

Please generate an overview of your system like this:
— Launch a terminal window (this is how to launch a terminal window);
— Make the terminal window full screen, to avoid chopped lines;
— Copy/paste this command into the terminal:
(if you type: the letter F is a capital letter, and don’t omit the space after inxi!)
Copy/paste the output in your next message.
Do the same with the following four commands:

Wi-Fi with HP Pavilion G7
I have a HP Pavilion G7 Notebook computer and when I use ubuntu it starts up fine, and then when I get in I can’t connect to wifi. I know the problem because it says something like «disconnected by hardware switch.» I tried to turn on my hardware switch but it doesn’t want to turn on (it is a button that is supposed to shine a blue light to show that it is on, but it shines a orange light which means it is off).

You can try using the following command in terminal; rfkill unblock wifi. After that turn off your wifi switch and then back on. If that doesn’t work, go to the network setting in the upper right corner of your screen with the notification icons. unenable the networking and do the command «rfkill unblock wifi», after that renable the networking.
Sir try following this link. Your Wifi has probably been blacklisted by Ubuntu. I am not sure why they allow this, but they have given us the solution. See here for more details.
my track in the woods as follows.

up vote 7 down vote favorite 21 I’m having serious problems installing the Broadcom drivers for Ubuntu. It worked perfectly on my previous version, but now, it is impossible. I’m a user with no advance knowledge in Linux, so I would need clear explanations on make, compile, etc. I was following the instructions on the following blog, with no luck. How can I get Broadcom BCM4311 Wireless working? Can someone help me? Edit: For the command: lspci | grep Network , I get the following message:

When i follow the following steps (from the above link), there are a NO error message at all: 1. Open the ‘Ubuntu Software Centre’ and search for bcm 2. Uninstall the bcm-kernel-source package 3. Make sure that the firmware-b43-installer and the b43-fwcutter packages are installed

Отдельной кнопкой включается беспроводной интерфейс. Кнопка находится выше всех остальных по центру корпуса, а при включении начинает светиться синим кольцо под логотипом HP в петле экрана. Выключение вроде бы аппаратное, т.е. включение/выключение возможно и в БИОС — http://www.ixbt.com/portopc/hp-dv5000.shtml
Это же очевидно! Но результата нет, не считая того, что отображается «yes» или «no» по запросу
