I was able to run off the DVD and driver manager installed the WiFi. After installation no WiFi and driver manager is broken. I never got the wired to work. My DVD will no longer eject.

You can use the old paperclip trick to manually eject the DVD ...The next brick house on the left

I am using my Kindle fire to download Ubuntu packages to do a manual it install. The broadcom sta
driver requires 17 packages to be installed! I have an external drive but the 14.04.5 DVD is in the notebooks stuck drive. I have no other choice than to manually download, copy and install the packages. Normally I would use discover to update so I don't make any mistakes. With no internet and a stuck DVD drive then there is no other way. Strange that the installer could use the WIFI but the installed version can't. I got it down to 6dependancys. The rest of the packages do not say what the problem is.Last edited by steve7233; Aug 22, 2017, 06:16 PM.Just to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.

There is no way the paper clip method will fail unless your CDROM is mechanically broken.Originally posted by steve7233 View Post"A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”

No screwdriver. I might try using my external USB drive and kindle to download then burn a new DVD of trusty version 5. I will just reinstall invade I messed up something trying the manual WIFI install. I should be able to install the driver by remounting the DVD to /mnt/CDROM which is the path where Ubuntu drivers looks after you select the CDROM in the repos list. I hope I remember to deselect it after getting thee WIFI up.Originally posted by SpecialEd View PostJust to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.

I can't transfer the iso file from my kindle to my laptop. It has Bluetooth but can't communicate with my notebook. It is low on charge, so I will fully charge it and try again. How big is the file? I got a little over 1,000 Megs.Just to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.

1 GB probably won't be enough. IIRC, 14.04 was 1.2Gb. 17.04 is now 1.6Gb"A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”

Turns out the file wasn't downloading. I have the silk web browser downloading it now. It will take all day. Only 2% after 20 minutes and I have a very fast internet connection. There must be a bottle neck someplace. Maybe someone needs to check the Ubuntu severs to make sure get Kubuntu is working properly? Of course there are probably a few switching systems and different kinds of computers between me and the Ubuntu servers. Most people don't realise this but there all a lot computers around than just desktop, notebooks, netbooks or severs.Just to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.

What does 'there was a parsing error downloading the package' mean?Just to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.

A package header error, or perhaps a corrupted apt list.
One possible fix this problem:
1. Open terminal
2. Enter the following commands one by one:
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get update

A Kindle is an e-book reader. How do you expect to download anything other than e-books to it?Windows no longer obstructs my view.
