Wifi Ubuntu 14.04 Acer Z1402-50fz

Hi all,
Just want to share, I have a laptop acer one 14 z1402-50fz, and installed Ubuntu 14.04. And one that not working are Wireless (Wifi) and Bluetooth.
After looking around I found the solution for the wireless / wifi in here
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=208434
With solution from Pjotr as below, (with connection to internet via other device):

sudo apt-get install git build-essential
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723bu
cd rtl8723bu
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -v 8723bu

It works, but after I do update kernel, the wifi is not recognized again. And I must re do above to have wifi working again.

I hope in next kernel update, the driver for the wifi have included in newer kernel.

For bluetooth still not working.

And I must re do above to have wifi working again.

So you don't really have a wireless problem because you have solved it.

Most users are not nearly as resourceful as you. Great job!

I hope in next kernel update, the driver for the wifi have included in newer kernel.

I doubt that it will be included in Ubuntu prior to 16.04, using the 4.4-xx kernel and I am not even certain about that. As well, I don't think the developers spend much or even any time perusing the forums so your request will not get to them. Instead, I suggest you file a bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu

I suggest you start a new thread about the bluetooth and include as many details as you can. If it is a USB attached device, then:

Code:

lsusb

Otherwise:

Code:

lspci -nn
dmesg | grep -i blue
