[14:58] <LargePrime> hi ~$ dkms status rtl8812au
[14:58] <LargePrime> rtl8812au, 4.3.8.12175.20140902+dfsg, 4.15.0-63-generic, x86_64: installed
[14:58] <LargePrime> rtl8812au, 4.3.8.12175.20140902+dfsg, 4.15.0-65-generic, x86_64: installed
[14:58] <LargePrime> ~$ sudo modprobe rtl8812au
[14:58] <LargePrime> modprobe: FATAL: Module rtl8812au not found in directory /lib/modules/4.15.0-63-generic
[14:58] <LargePrime> is this expected?
[14:59] <LargePrime> when ever i do a software update and get a new kernel, i lose my wifi on reboot, and need a hardline to sudo apt install --reinstall rtl8812au-dkms
[15:00] <LargePrime> please ping
[15:03] <JanC> that sounds more like a kernel question
[15:08] <JanC> LargePrime: ^
[15:10] <LargePrime> so, a software update breaks a device on a desktop, and I should go ask kernel guys?
[15:10] <LargePrime> kk JanC
[15:11] <JanC> it's a kernel module that needs to be recompiled on every kernel upgrade
[15:11] <LargePrime> by the desktop software update
[15:12] <LargePrime> or do the kernel guys come update it for me?
[15:12] <JanC> no, DKMS should do that automatically, but apparently something goes wrong there
[15:12] <LargePrime> agreed
[15:12] <JanC> and that's all kernel-related software
[15:12] <LargePrime> infact it does do it. it just does it wrong ish
[15:12] <JanC> so they would know it best  :)
[15:12] <LargePrime> which chan would you recommend?
[15:12] <JanC> #ubuntu-kernel
