Supposed to be "Ubuntu Certified" - completely not. Never will buy another Dell again.cement_headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14935141101148223669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3642149670362310842.post-80170656001738035352015-11-08T05:40:35.416-08:002015-11-08T05:40:35.416-08:00Wireless is working for me, USB3.0 is also working...Wireless is working for me, USB3.0 is also working, I have trouble to get working Bluetooth.

So, I can do the same procedure and check it as well. You have mentioned, that you are using Nvidia driver 330, but I'm using 331.38, which is newer than yours. I have checked the latest drivers on Nvidia web page and there is currently 340.24 driver available. Do you have that once installed?<br /><br />As I mentioned in my post above the Wi-Fi is 100% working with driver bcmwl-kernel-source/6.30.223.30+bdcom-0ubuntu3. There is one thing you should be careful about - if automatic updates are ran, always tick off the news Boradcom driver, because it would re-install your older (but working) driver.<br /><br />I haven't spent time on the bluetooth yet. I can confirm that I can not turn it on in system settings - all options are grey. Seems like the system is not recognizing the bluetooth at all.Castlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798550045883405878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3642149670362310842.post-47343909235941151822014-07-23T09:04:10.822-07:002014-07-23T09:04:10.822-07:00I run the same config and I have noticed that the ...I run the same config and I have noticed that the Nvidia card doesn't perform as well as the Intel card when using Virtualbox. I am using the newest 330 driver from the Nvidia website so I am curious if the older driver you are using works better. Also did the Bluetooth functionality work for you? When I try to add a Bluetooth device it can see the device but it fails to connect every time and wifi behaves the same way I can see the AP but it won't connect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
