[EDIT] This is ONLY if you have the Realtek RTL8723BE wifi adapter. Also, try the parameter mod's in my second post below this one before you go to the trouble of rebuilding the driver with these instructions:
This intermittent wifi issue (slow speeds, random disconnects, no wifi on boot up, etc.) with the common Realtek RTL8723BE WiFi adapter is commonly dealt with on the Ubuntu and Linux Mint forums. Search there for more info.
I had this issue with Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.2 when I installed it a while back. Anyway, I did a similar thing to workaround the issue on Linux Lite 3.0, and at least so far seems to be working. Here's what I did, FYI, if you have the same Realtek wifi chip it might help you as well...
root@G50:/home/brad/#
Code: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git
Code: git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new
Code: cd rtlwifi_new
make clean
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -r rtl8723be
sudo modprobe rtl8723be
root@G50:/home/brad/rtlwifi_new#
filename: /lib/modules/4.4.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8723be/rtl8723be.ko
firmware: rtlwifi/rtl8723befw.bin

vermagic: 4.4.0-24-generic SMP mod_unload modversions
parm: swlps:bool
parm: swenc:using hardware crypto (default 0 [hardware])
(bool)
parm: ips:using no link power save (default 1 is open)
(bool)
parm: fwlps:using linked fw control power save (default 1 is open)
(bool)
parm: msi:Set to 1 to use MSI interrupts mode (default 0)

parm: disable_watchdog:Set to 1 to disable the watchdog (default 0)
(bool)
parm: ant_sel:Set to 1 or 2 to force antenna number (default 0)
(int)
then create file: /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf with the following content
Code: options rtl8723be debug=0
options rtl8723be fwlps=N
options rtl8723be ips=N
options rtl8723be msi=N
then reboot...
you can then verify those parameter settings...
brad@G50:/home/brad/rtlwifi_new$
Code: sudo systool -a -v -m rtl8723be | grep -A8 "Parameters:"
ant_sel = "0"
debug = "0"
disable_watchdog = "N"
fwlps = "N"
ips = "N"
msi = "N"
swenc = "N"
swlps = "N"

Im kinda new to Linux but not....
Back in maybe 2002 I bought a markdown box of Redhat version 6.x & tried to install it on a very flaky HD....it never did anything.
then in @ 2009 I found a local LUG....WNYLUG to be exact...
They even had free pizza & Chicken wings!!!
Buffalo NY is the home of the Chicken wing.
I owned a Compaq z1010 Sempron 3000+......nope no dice
I bought a nameless P4 offa Criagslist.....nada
I decided I wanted to go with laptops when I realized the whole thing ran on a 65w power supply.
Seemed environmentally friendly to me & would require alot less room.
then in late summer 2010..I guess.. Best Buy {an American Electronics chain store}
had an HP62-234dx for sale.....$499? +tax has an i3 Processor
Was a hell of a bargain.....everything else with that CPU was $50 -$100 more
No Linux would run on it.. I must have tried over a dozen distros.
Zorin 7 or 8 maybe did the best.the laptop would run fine for about 2 hours & lock up completely.
I had to unplug it & remove the battery to get an response at all.
This was annoying to say the least. It had taken well over 6 months to get this far...
Its now Oct 2012...Best Buy came thru Again!
an HP G7-1350dx A6 APU 17Inches....$399+Tax.... Its Big & Beautiful
I love it.....Still W7 thank the gods!
It hates Linux too!!! Completely unuseable. Well, so I have a windows machine.
March30th 2014 Best Buy out does themselves w 17" full 1080 video
{on the card} the screen is 1600x900 if I recall
HP e113dx with an A8 APU & W8,1
Windows 8
Who cares THIS is getting Linux!!!!!
No way Hose-Zay!!!!!!
I never even got it to boot from the DVD player ... not 1ce.
I include the following to my fellow Americans & any other earthlings who have the misfortune of having Best Buy around them..LOL
Its from my first post :
==================================
"Best Buy Exclusives" DO NOT LIKE LINUX !!!!!!!
I have 3 of them....sad but true......
Right now 2 are down for the count but the 3rd from 2010 wasnt Linux friendly last time I tried maybe 2 years ago.
Im hoping the newer distributions will solve that ...
I suspect odd-ball hardware in the way underpriced PCs is the problem.
================================================
Im running LL on an old Asus K60ij I bought offa Craigslist a while back.
It works well.
As might the LXLE I had on it previously that I demolished with my utter lack of Linux Knowledge & experience.
I almost forgot I have a now broken Dell e5430 with an i5 that I had Lubuntu 14.04 on
It screamed.. I loved it.....8G ram &7200 spin HD
when I fix it I will love it again!!
I have 2 more HP Laptops that a re much more run-of-the-mill'
An i5 Probook e6470b wPCLinuxOS on it for a few weeks now...
Its got a 14" screen & its difficult for me too see.. I wanna get a big monitor to plug it into. that was $150 on Craigslist...
And a REAL bargain a 14" HP Dm4t for only $75 !!!! Its like brand new.....too
I havent decide what to do with it yet....
Im thinkin Lubuntu...

file:///home/jll/Desktop/Eva%20Cassidy%20-%20Drown%20in%20My%20Own%20Tears.mp3: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in.
I got this error after installing the " Alarm Applet " and directing it to play this mp3 audio file. How do I go about finding out which plugin is missing ? Can some one help me out with this. I'm wanting to learn how to find these things out on my own whenever possible. thank you.

At the moment I cannot access my sda1 where LL is installed. In order to not have a long drawn out explanation ; I can view files and folders from a live disk of LL. could someone just inform me where I can view a list of all PPA's installed in SDA1 from a live disk of LL . I just want to take a screenshot of all PPA's on SDA1 for a new install. thanks

). Would also like to see a LXDE version in the future as it'd even make it faster. Nonetheless, great distro, easily the fastest I've tried on this laptop and you have made my laptop usable again. Thanks!

in the actions buttons in the panel but instead a completely different double arrows. (I can't find a image of it but it is common in several icon themes.) I have copied gnome brave and gnome common colors in to icons folder /usr/share/icons/ and tried a .icons folder in the home folder too. Neither worked. Any suggestions?
