Title:
Cannot install proprietary Broadcom WiFi drivers on Ubuntu Studio
Kinetic
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
Hardware: HP Elitebook 8570p, 16 GB RAM, 120 GB SSD, 3rd Gen Intel
Core i5, UEFI, no secure boot, Broadcom WiFi.
OS: Ubuntu Studio Kinetic, Final ISO
Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot the Ubuntu Studio ISO on a system with Broadcom WiFi, and install the
system normally. (No encryption, allow Internet access during installation
using some method of connectivity other than WiFi.)
2. Reboot and log into the newly installed system.
3. Open a terminal and run "sudo software-properties-kde".
4. Click "Additional Drivers" in the window that pops up.
5. Click "Using Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver source from
bcmwl-kernel-source (proprietary)".
Expected result: The Apply Changes button should become clickable,
allowing the user to install the driver.
Actual result: The button remains grayed out, and the following error
message is printed in the terminal:
Traceback (most recent call last):
