Installing PeppermintDaedalous on HP Pavilion

[Bruce Irving]

I hope this is the place to post this:

I tried to install Peppermint Daedalis. Like the Dev-1 isos, It won't connect to WiFi: Connection add failed failure adding connection settings plugin does not support adding connections

The Pop-Up title is different on Pep

This is from Devuan-Live:

How do Igo about getting Hewlett-Packard driver: rtl8723be? Can I lift it from the PepOS installed on the laptop?

Edit by cavy to correct formatting and for legibility.

It is in the repos.

You should be able to connect, when clicking on your household wifi link from your internet provider. Mine is Virgin Media or VMxxxxxx followed by my unique identity number.

Wonderful birthday present - lost internet for most of the day! OK! I now have a new carrier.

I used Synaptic to dl firmware-realtech, finally found where Synaptic placed it and put it on a USB stick, fired up the Peppermint (Devonian) Installer, attempted to install the firmware - deb told me it was already installed!

When I try to add WiFi, whether through Add WiFi (only Ethernet is active) or clicking on my WiFi network, Ohh! My hand drawn pop up got edited out of my OP - something about not able to add. Here it is from Dev1 Galay:[code]Connection add failed
failure adding connection settings plugin does not support adding
connections
[ Close ][/code]
( The Pop-Up title is different on Pep but I was getting the same thing with installation from Dev-1.) Also, the installation screen will frequently go to a black screen and I have to Power Off and start over.

Unfortunately, the installers no longer have a memory check option.

Unfortunately, I guess I'll have to give up Devuan and stick with PeppermentOS on that machine.

I see that Code is different on this forum.

And I could find where to mark it Solved although it is really ABANDONED!
