I use a network card called the rtl8723be. In Ubuntu, that card randomly halts every ten to twenty minutes and my network manager doesn't detect it. There is a solution. A guy named lwfinger put some drivers on github and they work great. Unfortunately, I recently switched to Kubuntu 14.04 and when I try to make the drivers I get this error code:

make -C /lib/modules/4.2.0-27-generic/build M=/home/liam/rtlwifi_new modules make[1]: Entering directory /usr/src/linux-headers-4.2.0-27-generic'
arch/x86/Makefile:123: stack-protector enabled but compiler support broken
arch/x86/Makefile:138: CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support
Makefile:662: Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR: -fstack-protector not supported by compiler
make[1]: gcc: Command not found
  CC [M]  /home/liam/rtlwifi_new/base.o

If you know a solution, please let me know

You're missing the Gnu Compiler Collection. It can be installed along with other necessary build tools with the meta-package build-essential:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
