trouble installing Dragora on Dell inspiration laptop
I am trying to move away from windows. Installed Dragora with lots of hitches I managed to fix until I booted from hard drive. on boot from hard drive I got a blank screen for over an hour. On my next look at the screen the next morning I have these 4 lines over and over.
ssb0:0 Missing Free firmware "b43-phy0 ERROR:firmware file"/*(DEBLOBBED)*/"request failed (err=-22) "b43-phy0 ERROR:firmware file"b43-open/ucode15.fw" not found "b43-phy0 ERROR:/*(DEBLOBBED)*/ there is a curser flashing and I am able to type but unable to start a new line. I typed setup signed in and recieved " No mail. root@rafaela:~# " Am I in line edit mode? wha;t went wrong? how do I get the graphical interface? how do I install the missing files? Should I run screaming for the hills? |

I have requested this be moved to Dragora to get better coverage.
Doco could be better I would suggest at first glance - b43 is looking for the firmware for a Broadcom wifi chip. |
Yancek Thank you, startx got the gui up. I verified the iso that I downloaded as I wrote it to disk. When I followed install directions, it did not tell me I needed to create regular user, so I figured i would create it when I booted from hdd and had the gui.
I Will be doing that now that I know the install was not a disaster. I can now search for a operating manual and have some fun figuring things out and maybe learn some coding and such. syg00 Thank you for the info. If the wifi needs firmware now I can go looking for it and hopefully figure out how to put it all together. Now that I know about the Dragora forum, I will post anything else there. What is Doco? My linguistics in computer is very limited. |
