Can't install anything -- Not Supported Chip

Asked by Zac Slade

Hi!
I am using a Dell Inspiron Mini netbook with Ubuntu Desktop Edition (Netbook Ubuntu's window manager was using all my resources; I couldn't get anything done).

Every time I try to install anything, including updates and drivers, I get an error message:

"...."
Setting up firmware-b43-installer (4.150.10.5-4) ...

Not supported low-power chip with PCI id 14e4:4315!

Aborting.

dpkg: error processing firmware-b43-installer (--configure):

 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already

Aborting.

dpkg: error processing firmware-b43-installer (--configure):

 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

The things that fail to install still register as installed, so I have to manually un-install it to try again, but un-installing makes the same error message appear before it shows the program as not-installed. I have already failed to install my wireless drivers and a few updates, so I think I will have to manually un-install them or re-install ubuntu. If you think I should re-install before we work on the issue, let me know and I will tell you when I've done it.

I am new to Ubuntu, and do not know console commands, (but I'd be willing to do complicated console stuff with some guidance) so I would appreciate a detailed, noob-tailored response please^^

Thanks!

Hi,

Please first connect your network card to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable).

In order to gather essential troubleshooting information about your wireless card, please follow this procedure:

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->Terminal"

Step 2: Please copy-paste the following command from the https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu website in Firefox into the Linux Terminal. Do NOT copy-paste from the Email message into the Terminal, as that will only copy PART of the command. The command STARTS with the word sudo and ENDS with the word lsmod. So please copy-paste the ENTIRE command below from Firefox into a Terminal, press <enter>, then enter password when sudo asks for password, then press enter again.

Tip: If you have a wheel mouse or 3 button mouse you do not need to type commands into the Terminal. Highlight the command written on the page. Move your cursor anywhere in the Terminal and press the wheel or middle button. Automatic Copy and paste! No spelling mistakes! No Typos! No other errors!

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; sudo lshw -short; uname -a; dmesg | egrep 'acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|CX|eth|ipw|irmware|isl|lbtf|ndiswrapper|NPE|ound|p54|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3|usb|witch|wl'; iwconfig; cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep 'acx|at76|ath|b43|bcm|CX|eth|ipw|irmware|isl|lbtf|ndiswrapper|NPE|p54|prism|rtl|rt2|rt3|witch|wl'; sudo hwinfo --netcard ; cat /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state; sudo lsmod

Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output) on this thread. The troubleshooters here need to see the full Terminal output from running the above command.

Step 4: Please also specify the exact model and make of your PC (if known) on this thread

Regards,

Mark

after that it wasn't doing anything for a few seconds. I highlighted everything and hit ctrl+c, which, after displaying ^C put me back on the command line. Should I have waited longer?

if you install wicd, you can tell it that eth1 is your wifi device. You can then connect

Alright! I read the other forum. Removing the firmware-b43-installer solved the problem. Programs are installing smoothly, and updates are coming easily. When it was removed, I did still hav some issues connecting to wifi, but wicd seems to have resolved that issue nicely. Unfortunately, there are no un-protected wireless networks around me immediately, but now I'm picking stuff up, and I'll post another question if I have issues in the future.

I'm glad this problem was resolved quickly and easily. You guys have been awesome. Score +1 Ubuntu support :)
