Cristian7516Ok17:56
Cristian7516I have a wifi dongle that I installed some weeks ago17:57
Cristian7516Was recognized ad 8812au, it's a realtek chipset17:57
Cristian7516now i can see it with "lsusb" but I cannot see it works with "lshw -C network"17:58
Cristian7516and17:59
Cristian7516almost everytime I reboot or Linux upgrade kernel, I find myself in the same situazion, wifi dongle doesn't workd17:59

Cristian7516I wait an help from one of you, thak you very much18:01
kc2bez2 questions; Which version of Lubuntu? How did you install the current drivers?18:02
Cristian7516Excuse me, where I see my Lubuntu version?18:03
Cristian7516I downloaded it and run it with "./install.sh" command18:03
kc2bezTo find your release you can issue a `lsb_release -a` in the terminal.18:05
Cristian751620.1018:07
Cristian7516I followed some answers on forums to solve the problem and I'm scared that now I have many drivers version installed, worst than before18:07
kc2bezWell, there may be an easy way to fix it if you can connect your system up to the network. Perhaps a hardwire connection is available, at least temporarily.18:11
Cristian7516Yes now I am connected with cable but I'd like to fix the problem and connect with wifi18:11
kc2bezIn the menu you can open up software sources under preferences.18:15
kc2bezIt will prompt you for your password.18:16
kc2bezSelect the additional drivers tab.18:16
Cristian7516Ok done18:17
Cristian7516I have "Using dkms source for the r8812au netweork driver from rtl8812au-dkms (open source)"18:18
Cristian7516The only other oprion is "So not use the device"18:18
Cristian7516*Do not18:18
Cristian7516The first one is selected18:18

Cristian7516-18:23
Cristian7516soty, I'm back18:24

Cristian7516*sorry18:24
Cristian7516"Propietary Drivers dor devices " is selected18:25
kc2bezOk,18:25
kc2bezhmm18:25
Cristian7516sudo nano /etc/modules18:35
Cristian7516soorry, I was writing in terminal :-)18:35
kc2bezNo worries.18:35
Cristian7516no ideas?18:35
Cristian7516how can i remove every driver and try to clean and reistall fro mzero?18:36
kc2bezI was hoping for the easy way out XD18:36
Cristian7516ah ok18:36
Cristian7516sure18:36
kc2bezIf you have it installed from the Ubuntu drivers it just updates along with the rest of the system.18:37
Cristian7516before all, I was able to let it work digiting "insmod 8812au.ko"18:37
Cristian7516now when i do it the answer is "insmod: ERROR: could not insert module 8812au.ko: Invalid module format"18:37
Cristian7516than i am blocked18:37
kc2bezYeah, as the kernel updates you may need an updated driver too.18:38
Cristian7516laso in modules i cannot see it18:39
Cristian7516if i gigit "lsmod" I cannot see 8812au anymore18:39
kc2bezThis github repo looks very up to date. https://github.com/morrownr/8812au18:41
Cristian7516I also tried to reinstall the driver from the original package and when finished it tells me that is installed and if I want to activate, If I say YESm I have an error message18:41
kc2bezIn the readme it indicates that it should work with 20.1018:43
Cristian7516For sure works also 2/3 days ago than i'am sure that works with this Lubuntu version18:43
Cristian7516the problem is "What's happen after" Maybe I did something wrong,,,18:44
kc2bezIt looks like there have been recent changes (in the last 2 days) to the install script (I haven't investigated them though).18:46
Cristian7516If I try this: sudo modprobe -v 8812au18:47
Cristian7516I receive this:18:47
Cristian7516nsmod /lib/modules/5.8.0-33-generic/kernel/drivers/net/8812au.ko modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '8812au': Exec format error18:47
Cristian7516I tried also: dmesg | grep 8812au18:49
Cristian7516and i recieve:18:49

Cristian7511ok sorry18:53

Cristian7511these are all the rows18:53
Cristian7511I think I should have just one.....no?18:54
kc2bezI'm not really sure.18:55
kc2bezSince this isn't a package that Lubuntu necessarily provides you could ask in #ubuntu as well. It is all the same base so anything that works for Ubuntu will work in Lubuntu.18:59
Cristian7511ok I try19:03
