<div dir="ltr"><div>Thank you. But... When I pasted the search term in the Search space in the Ubuntu Software Center, it comes back "no items match." That's probably some sort of clue! A recent note from Dave Hills seems relevant, but I'm too much of a newbie to follow that path. BTW, I'm now trying to use Ubuntu instead of Xbuntu. Am I in the wrong formum?!<br>

Using the $ lspci command (I don't yet know what the last part of the recommended command is, or how to type it!), I got a bunch of stuff which shows I definitely have a Broadcom card (BCM 4311). When I used the command to install firmware-b43-installer, the response was "Unable to locate package firmware-b43-installer." Similar reply when I tried the sudo command apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree. "Unable to locate, etc" <br>

Try open the Software Center and cut and paste:<br>
<br>
linux-firmware-nonfree<br>
<br>
into the search field (upper right corner). The package is in the apt center as I just looked it up. If you don't see it one of two things may be going on. 1) Double check your Internet connection, or 2) We need to activate additional repository for the package. Though I doubt the latter because I didn't have to with a scratch build on my system. I simply built, updated, and then installed the linux-firmware-nonfree in that order. (note: just tried a Virtual machine build and saw/installed the package. Rebooted to live cd and saw/installed the package. So linux-firmware-nonfree is in there; no tweaks or changes.)<br>

As for the screen shots you usually have two options. the "Print Screen" key around the upper right of the keyboard (Fastest - easiest) or<br>
<br>
Accessories > Screenshot<br>
<br>
which give a few more options on what you capture. Both work well. There are other wigets you can explore later of course.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
