Jim,
Are you still having update issues ?
I meant just a regular update.

Steve,
My system is updating fine now, thanks.
I assume that satisfies the "LL" question above?
I used LL as shorthand for Linux Lite - sorry.
If your system is updating ok that's fine. You didn't confirm in the thread you had about update problems, so I wasn't sure what your status was.
I have done all that carefully, but I have not got it to work yet.
I copied the notes off terminal to a file where I can find it and read later.
In my "Network" found in the panel, I can get to a complex list of settings to select to (presumably?) get the device going.
Is this correct?
If so, what entries to I fill in?
A few short minutes ago, I found a WiFi set up page. Sorry to say, but I cannot find it again. I did take a screenshot, copied to clipboard, but it did not arrive here when I clicked paste.
Do I have to set up the connection somewhere?
Jim.
Post back with
Code:
sudo lshw -C network
so we can see if the installation has done what we wanted.
Clicking on the Network icon (usually in the bottom right area) should give you a list of Wifi Networks that the adaptor can see. You will need to set up the system so that it can join your network.
This is the result:
Code:
sudo lshw -C network

No sign of the adaptor there.
Were there any error messages during the install and did you reboot after running the install script ?
edit - spelling
Steve,
I will check back in early tomorrow.
I am very tired now........apologies.
Jim.
Hi Jim, you don't need to put in a new subject every time you post. Thank you.
Jim,
Another thing to check when you get chance.
In the BIOS/UEFI settings does your machine have the option for secure boot ?
This can cause issues, so let us know how it is set (if you have it).
Steve
