[05:38] <xubuntu51i> Hi
[05:38] <xubuntu51i> I need help
[05:43] <xubuntu51i> xubuntu installation is too long I'm waiting 40 minutes already, it's creating FS for mounting '/'. Before that it had a fail with one of discs or something, but then it started launching and a progress bar doesn't move till now.
[11:42] <xu-irc73w> hello everyone. I'm sorry to bother you, but I am having trouble getting my Realtek wifi to work.
[11:42] <xu-irc73w> I know there are a lot of posts about this, but the instructions are not working for me.
[11:42] <xu-irc73w> Just wondering if anyone can help me out.
[11:42] <xu-irc73w> The problem is the exact same problem as this post, but the solution is not working for me:
[11:42] <xu-irc73w> https://askubuntu.com/questions/1079377/how-do-i-install-drivers-for-realtek-rtl8812bu
[11:43] <xu-irc73w> My computer fails on this command:
[11:43] <xu-irc73w> https://askubuntu.com/questions/1079377/how-do-i-install-drivers-for-realtek-rtl8812bu
[11:43] <xu-irc73w> whoops, not that
[11:43] <xu-irc73w> sudo dkms build -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER}
[11:45] <diogenes_> xu-irc73w, has this wifi card ever worked under linux before?
[11:46] <xu-irc73w> apparently it has, because the model number matches the model number on the referenced github:
[11:47] <xu-irc73w> https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2BU_WiFi_linux_v5.2.4.4_26334.20180126_COEX20171012-5044
[11:47] <xu-irc73w> rtl88x2bu
[11:47] <diogenes_> xu-irc73w, i mean has it ever worked for you under linux on this very machine.
[11:47] <xu-irc73w> in my case, RTL8812BU
[11:47] <xu-irc73w> no, that's the problem.
[11:47] <xu-irc73w> i want it to work on this machine.
[11:47] <xu-irc73w> i know the unit works because it works on the same machine in Windows.
[11:47] <diogenes_> what OS did you have prio to Xubuntu?
[11:48] <xu-irc73w> GalliumOS
[11:48] <xu-irc73w> but not on this hardware.
[11:48] <diogenes_> i've never heard of Gallium OS.
[11:48] <xu-irc73w> that's alright
[11:48] <xu-irc73w> https://galliumos.org/
[11:49] <xu-irc73w> it's a debian-based linux
[11:49] <diogenes_> so are you running Xubuntu or Gallium right now?
[11:49] <xu-irc73w> I am on the Xubuntu computer I am trying to get my wifi working on
[11:49] <xu-irc73w> i've made a temporary hardwire connection until i can fix my wifi
[11:50] <diogenes_> xu-irc73w, run in a terminal: lscpi -nnk | grep Net -A3 | nc termbin.com 9999
[11:51] <diogenes_> you gonna get an url that you have to paste here in the chat.
[11:52] <xu-irc73w> sorry, but it's not working:
[11:52] <xu-irc73w> lscpi -nnk
[11:52] <xu-irc73w> whoops, hold on
[11:53] <xu-irc73w> lscpi -nnk | grep Net -A3 | nc termbin.com 9999Command 'lscpi' not found, did you mean:  command 'lspci' from deb pciutils (1:3.6.4-1)  command 'lscp' from deb nilfs-tools (2.2.8-1)  command 'lscpu' from deb util-linux (2.34-0.1ubuntu9.1)Try: sudo apt install <deb name>
[11:53] <xu-irc73w> keep in mind, the wifi is not pci
[11:53] <xu-irc73w> the wifi is connected via usb
[11:53] <diogenes_> yep sorry lspci
[12:02] <xu-irc73w> the command does not produce output
[12:02] <xu-irc73w> lspci -nnk | grep Net -A3 | nc termbin.com 9999
[12:02] <xu-irc73w> just back to the command prompt. no error.
[12:03] <diogenes_> xu-irc73w, so it's not a build-in module.
[12:04] <xu-irc73w> right. it's a USB module.
[13:07] <unixy> helllo
[13:09] <diogenes_> hello
[13:15] <unixy> so....
