Loose xfce desktop when HDMI disconnected
#10
Hi,

*** UPDATE: This does not appear to be a stable fix ~ NEW Thread to be started ***

Found a solution to the WiFi drivers after some Googling
If you have WiFi based on: rtl8723be Chipset, then

Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git
git clone http://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723be
cd rtl8723be
git checkout 604aa9058fb9e5bb1cf571c99989d081f8fc8b9
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe rtl8723be

Now they show up in dmseg log:
Code:
[    5.843191] rtl8723be: Using firmware rtlwifi/rtl8723befw.bin
[    5.884726] ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'rtl_rc'
[    5.885072] rtlwifi: wireless switch is on

Just hope this didn't break anything else...!!!
