Public bug reported:
I'm testing the live USB of Ubuntu Studio 22.04 beta on a mid-2009
MacBook Pro. (Can't do a full install yet.) Wi-Fi doesn't work out of
the box.
What I expect to happen is something I can do successfully in Ubuntu
Studio 21.10 (live USB). Wi-Fi also didn't work out of the box in that
version. In KDE Settings I click on "Driver Manager", which
automatically opens Software Sources (that's the only way I know how to
get there). It finds and shows my [proprietary Broadcom] Wi-Fi driver; I
click on it, then the "Apply Changes" button is enabled after a second
or two. I click that, wait about half a minute with a progress bar in
action below, and then the Wi-Fi options appear the notification area,
allowing me to connect.
I attached a screen record of what actually happens in Ubuntu Studio
22.04 beta (thankfully this distro comes with screen recording software
out of the box). When I click on "Driver Manager", a "xterm" window
(version 372-1ubuntu1 I think?) opens unexpectedly with some code
showing up in it (the code is in the screen record), shortly before
Software Sources (version 0.99.20) opens as expected. The same driver
still appears on the list. When I click on the driver, it seems to still
take that second or two to transition, with some more code appearing in
"xterm", but the "Apply Changes" button never enables itself. It remains
disabled so I can't click it. The "revert" button directly next to it is
also disabled. Thus, I can't connect my computer to Wi-Fi in 22.04 beta.
