Re: [Kernel-packages] [Bug 1583288] Re: Realtek Wifi card rtl8723be [10ec:b723] WiFi not available

2016-06-07 Thread Podsgrove

Thanks for your reply but one look at the complications of reporting a
bug put me off. I am not a fan of Unity and had planned to install
Lubuntu but the best I have able to achieve is to install the LXDE
desktop on an out-of-date OS. This comes with the added bonus of a
battery indicator that does not work and an annoying login bongo noise
that keeps coming back despite all efforts to disable it.  It is
annoying that HP have chosen to market a Linux laptop that does not
work with the majority of Linux distros. The only ones I have found
that work (apart from HP's modified Ubuntu) are Console Linux and
Puppy, neither of which I particularly like.
I guess I am just a grumpy old git but next time I buy a computer I
will cough up the Microsoft tax and get one that works with Linux!

  I installed the newest kernel because in some threads people said
the card woule be available in the newest kernel. But this was not the
case. I mean the card is there but does not scan nor see any wifi
networks.

  Before I tried everything I could find to get my wifi running but I
do
  not even see one spot. So no connection at all. I even cloned git
and
  compiled the driver - the compiling and installation worked fine. I
  tried the old and the new driver.

  By the way the BT seems to be fine - although I have not checked
cause
  I do not need BT.

Re: [Kernel-packages] [Bug 1583288] Re: Realtek Wifi card rtl8723be [10ec:b723] WiFi not available

2016-06-06 Thread Podsgrove

When I first reported this bug I made the point that my HP455 was
purchased with Ubuntu pre-installed - and it works fine as long as you
don't try to install any other Ubuntu flavour, or for that matter
anything derived from Ubuntu or Debian. I cannot even upgrade to the
latest LTS version without losing wifi. HP have clearly added
something to the code to make it work. Can the problem (which has now
been running for a couple of years now) not be solved by simply
contacting HP and asking them what it was?

Re: [Kernel-packages] [Bug 1461174] Re: Realtek Wifi card rtl8723be [10ec:b723] WiFi has an issue

2016-05-10 Thread Podsgrove

I still have the original problem I reported:
Wifi works fine with original HP set up of computer but will not work
if I try to install any other Debian/Ubuntu based OS or update Ubuntu
to latest version. 
HP have obviously tweaked the installed version somehow to make it
work.
A Puppy Linux derivative worked as did Console Linux but they are the
only ones I have found so far.
My computer is an HP 455G2 with realtek RTL8723BE wifi, purchased with
Ubuntu 12.04 installed
