Broadcom Drivers Broken in 22.04

**curtis-s-copeland** · February 10th, 2023

wait let me try 56

**curtis-s-copeland** · February 10th, 2023

wait I didn't try 56. But I'm booted into 56 now with no luck. Here is reinstall $(uname -r)

I did not ask you to try to install bcmwl-kernel-source. I asked you:

please ONLY do:

Code:
sudo apt install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt install --reinstall linux-headers-generic
Do NOT try to install anything else.

While you are booted into -56, will you please try what I requested. Please do no anticipate or make up your own sequence. This is not useful.

**curtis-s-copeland** · February 10th, 2023

hold yer horses, I am booted into 56 and did what you asked, here is the full transcript. did we need to remove something first?

Aren't you starting to realize that it is not the Broadcom drivers that are broken, it is many things on your system.

Looking at your GRUB photo, we wonder where kernel version -60 appears. It is clearly referenced above.

Building for 5.15.0-56-generic 5.15.0-60-generic

We wonder why those moldy oldy 3.13 kernel versions are still around. The last time I worked on 3.13-xx, I still had hair!

May we see:

Code:

cat /var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/6.30.223.271+bdcom/build/make.log

I think I'd seriously be thinking of backup and reinstall.

May we also see:

Code:

sudo apt autoremove
sudo update-grub
ls /boot
ls /usr/src

**curtis-s-copeland** · February 10th, 2023

I'm thinking the -60 is the first grub option without any description

At this point, rebuild would have been faster, just a pain in the butt with all my apps and photo index databases to relink over TB of external HDD.

I've sent the make log numerous times but here's everything:

Code:

@chili555, thanks for the help today, I have to go to an appointment and will check back

**chili555** · February 11th, 2023

What does this tell us:

Code:

sudo apt autoremove
sudo update-grub

**curtis-s-copeland** · February 11th, 2023

Before I give up, I should mention that I created a live boot USB for 22.04 and it has the same BCMWL issue. We can do down that path when you are ready.

Here's the transcript:

Code:

sudo apt update
sudo apt purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt install --reinstall linux-headers-generic
sudo apt install --reinstall linux-headers-5.15.0-56-generic
sudo apt install --reinstall linux-headers-5.15.0-60-generic
sudo apt install -y plocate
sudo updatedb
locate include/generated/autoconf.h

bcmwl seems to be interfering every time we try to fix the system. I suggest removing it entirely so we can do some repairs. We'll install it fresh later.
