    cant get wifi to work with rtl8723be

    i've spent a while geting a persistent version of Kali on a USB stick and now can not seem to get the wifi to work on myhp stream 13 with rtl8723be wifi driver.

    i have used a few version of Linux (though still very much a novice) and have always succeeded in getting the wifi to work using the solution found here:
    http://askubuntu.com/questions/63562...s-card-to-work

    howver on kali i think something is different with PPA repositorys than the other Linux OS's and i seem to get an error with the first line

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 95, in <module>
    sp = SoftwareProperties(options=options)
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 109, in __init__
    self.reload_sourceslist()
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 599, in reload_sourceslist
    self.distro.get_sources(self.sourceslist)
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptsources/distro.py", line 89, in get_sources
    (self.id, self.codename))
    aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for Kali/kali-rolling
