Hello all,
I installed Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS on a Dell Inspiron D830. The Inspiron is running the Core2 Duo processor and has 4Gb of RAM. The installation has two annoying quirks & I was hoping that someone had answers for a complete & total Ubuntu noob.
The computer refuses to shut down. The system hangs on a black Ubuntu screen that has five dots underneath the word Ubuntu. From left to right, the five dots cycle between white-to-orange and that's where it stays.
Next, it appears that a driver for the D830's internal Wi-Fi card has not been installed. I can get around that by using a USB Wi-Fi dongle, but it's still annoying & I'd like the internal Wi-Fi to work properly.
I was really surprised to see these problems. I read on the official Ubuntu web site that Canonical has a software agreement with Dell. Inside the Ubuntu Software Center, I found two programs for Dell computers. I have no clue how to use them. When I click on the app "Dell Driver Installer", it says it will install a driver package that I downloaded. I don't know what to download and don't know what site download site to use.
Please help me. Thanks so much.
