OS: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS - KODIbuntu
Hardware: Dell XPS M1330
I've tried this by exiting from KODI and login on both to 'Lubuntu and Lubuntu Netbook'
I installed Kodi... however the wireless is not working- Ethernet is good- I looked online and it mentioned to update the BCM43XX packages and then go and install additional drivers- sounds straightforward... however the dialog or application to install additional drivers is missing!! I mean you click on System tools it only shows the following choices:
I am at a loss... I even reinstalled KODI and the same thing!!
after the second installation I ran 'lspci -vnn' and the output is below
is it installed... if so how do I connect to my Wifi there is no icon for WiFi?
I clicked on the systray network icon and I did 'add connection' and I really don't think it worked... also it should go without saying but I will ask anyway... once I connect it to wifi and I log back on to KODI will the WiFi stay connected and when I reboot and go straight into KODI will the connection remain or will I have to go into Lubuntu and connect to WiFi... ?
I have installed XBMC on: AppleTV1 and on AmazonFireTV also I've installed it on my macbook and they all have an OS which connects to WiFi and then I launch XBMC... so I've never done a standalone installation so please excuse the dumbness factor of my questions!
thanks
