Re: [Bug 1766945] Re: (EFI on top of legacy install) choosing "replace" or "resize" options in partitioning may lead to an install failure
Dears, Same for me [SOLVED] , created efi partition and convert the existing mbr partition to gpt by gparted utilities and after that i am able to install windows 8.1 alongside ubuntu 18.04 dual boot.

Re: [Bug 1757008] Re: Broadcom wireless drivers failed to build [error: implicit declaration of function ‘init_timer’]
Hello, I don't have even any network connection with the latest kernel (4.*15*.0-24-generic) . So what I am doing >> logging in the older kernel (4.*13*.0-45-generic) and booting the Ubuntu 16.04 then only it is working. I have tried several time the "Software and updates" from the menu but the same situation. Do someone have any software that I can download from the older kernel and then login with the new kernel to install it. Because the on-line method won't work from the new kernel system as because there is not Internet connectivity (meaning neither wired LAN or WIFI )..
