Unfortunately also the ethernet connection wasn't detected. I solved using my phone in USB tethering

Hi, I installed ubuntu server on a mac mini late 2012, and I have now (as expected) a problem with the firmware for the Broadcom network adapter / wifi card.

I could install those firmware quite easily with the package firmware-b43-installer but I obviously cannot use apt to download and install this package.

Then I thought to manually download the package from another computer and install it manually in Ubuntu. I saved the .deb into a USB stick and tried to install it, but this package depends on other packages that are not installed on the machine.

Then I thought "ok, I'll do the same for the dependencies and I will install the manually before install the firmware-b43-installer".

The problem is, of course, that also those packages depends on something else.

I don't think is a good idea to go down into the dependency hole and look manually for all the depndendencies of the dependencies... there is a more efficient way to do this? There is a way to download a package with its recursive dependencies?

Or somebody installed already Ubuntu (or a debian based distro) on a mac mini with Broadcom chip that can put me on the right direction?

Thanks a lot.

I hope you don't feel triggered by my question, I am genuinely curious, I swear. No judgment. Here my question: since bugs are part of this planet's life like all other life forms, don't you think that there is something wrong being so triggered from bugs?

I mean, it's normal to respect or to feel a kind of repulsion to some kind of insects, it is natural instinct that saved us from death, but being grossed by bugs in general sounds a bit too much to me.

I had a kind of phobia but when I realized that we are all part of the life on this planet, insects included, than something changed in me. I do not love insects, but I definitely do not feel reputation or fear anymore. I feel respect for some kind of insects (big spyders for example) and I try to build biodiversity in my garden for some others.

Sorry, I don't want to bother you or judge you, is it totally ok the way you are. I just kind of saw myself some years ago in our emotional answer.

Of course you can ignore this comment and it will be perfectly fine :)

personally I would give more focus to the core like sustainability, anti-capitalism, use of technology, in the future but also in the present. But I don't have actually anything concrete to propose. It was just an Idea to generate more discussions about what solarpunk is and to democratise the manifesto. You're right. The Wiki looks actually a more accessible place.

Why don't we try to put the manifesto on a git platform and let the people propose changes, reviewed by the people themselves? It could be a amazing way to create debates an to let the people decide what solarpunk is.
