So today I wanted to dual boot Ubuntu 20.04 in this system. I know already how to select the "Broadcom Wireless Drivers" on Ubuntu so I tried it in a live iso and it worked! But... Something went wrong. When I tried to go to additional hardware in the gnome application it just pops up the Nvidia drivers.

Can anyone help me?

Edit: Broadcom BCM43142 802.11 bgn Wi-FI Adapter

Edit 2: Sorry it is like 23 hours since I posted this but, I just discovered that I need to install bcmwl-kernel-source. However, I don't have ethernet and just have wifi and i'm all doing it offline, since I dual booted it where can I find the link to the latest packages?

Edit 3: So it’s the next day now, I tried to install bcmwl-kernel-source and it says E: Unable to locate package bcmwl-kernel-source now what am I supposed to do?

  • Please [edit] your question and add output of lspci -knn | grep Net -A3 terminal command. – Pilot6 Oct 08 '20 at 14:14
  • I asked to give the output of the command, but you posted only a part of it. – Pilot6 Oct 08 '20 at 14:39
  • You can always connect using your phone to install drivers. – Pilot6 Oct 09 '20 at 13:55
  • But... Where can I find the latest drivers? – Lee Oct 09 '20 at 13:59
  • Connect by your phone and sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source. ;-) – Pilot6 Oct 09 '20 at 14:18
  • But remember i'm offline in ubuntu and I don't have ethernet – Lee Oct 09 '20 at 14:34

    THE THIRD TIME. You can go online using your phone connected to USB port. – Pilot6 Oct 09 '20 at 14:36
  • Yeah I know, the problem is how do I install "bcmwl-kernel-source" using no internet? – Lee Oct 09 '20 at 14:47

    I give up. Try to read my comments again. – Pilot6 Oct 09 '20 at 14:48
  • Alright, fine. Yeah sorry for being rude and not understanding, I can go online and connect my phone to the usb port but how do I connect my phone and install bcmwl-kernel-source did you mean that? (Btw using iphone does it still work?) – Lee Oct 09 '20 at 14:53

    Your phone can share internet connection to Ubuntu using USB tethering. This is the easiest way to install drivers. Another way is to take bcmwl-kernel-source from the installation media, but it will require some more packages. – Pilot6 Oct 09 '20 at 14:55

    Ohhh, I can connect my iphone and turn on personal hotspot and that's it! I'm so dumb lol anyways going to try this later in the day. It's like 11:00 PM in the Eastern Time Zone so okay see you later! (Again i said this for the third time but i'm really sorry for not understanding you but bye for now.) – Lee Oct 09 '20 at 15:00
  • bcmwl-kernel-source is not installing on Ubuntu 20.04 – Lee Oct 10 '20 at 03:57
