[17:53] <Cristian7516> Hi everybody
[17:54] <Cristian7516> I'm newbie of Lubuntu
[17:54] <Cristian7516> can I have support from you?
[17:54] <Cristian7516> Please
[17:55] <kc2bez> Sure, that is what the intention of this channel is. Please ask your question and if someone can help they will.
[17:56] <Cristian7516> Ok
[17:57] <Cristian7516> I have a wifi dongle that I installed some weeks ago
[17:57] <Cristian7516> Was recognized ad 8812au, it's a realtek chipset
[17:58] <Cristian7516> now i can see it with "lsusb" but I cannot see it works with "lshw -C network"
[17:59] <Cristian7516> and
[17:59] <Cristian7516> almost everytime I reboot or Linux upgrade kernel, I find myself in the same situazion, wifi dongle doesn't workd
[17:59] <Cristian7516> I'm becoming crazy
[18:01] <Cristian7516> first of all I want to uderstand If I have many installation of same drivers and I'd like to clean dead od not used drivers
[18:01] <Cristian7516> tham try to make it works
[18:01] <Cristian7516> I wait an help from one of you, thak you very much
[18:02] <kc2bez> 2 questions; Which version of Lubuntu? How did you install the current drivers?
[18:03] <Cristian7516> Excuse me, where I see my Lubuntu version?
[18:03] <Cristian7516> I downloaded it and run it with "./install.sh" command
[18:05] <kc2bez> To find your release you can issue a `lsb_release -a` in the terminal.
[18:07] <Cristian7516> 20.10
[18:07] <Cristian7516> I followed some answers on forums to solve the problem and I'm scared that now I have many drivers version installed, worst than before
[18:11] <kc2bez> Well, 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] <Cristian7516> Yes now I am connected with cable but I'd like to fix the problem and connect with wifi
[18:15] <kc2bez> In the menu you can open up software sources under preferences.
[18:16] <kc2bez> It will prompt you for your password.
[18:16] <kc2bez> Select the additional drivers tab.
[18:17] <Cristian7516> Ok done
[18:18] <Cristian7516> I have "Using dkms source for the r8812au netweork driver from rtl8812au-dkms (open source)"
[18:18] <Cristian7516> The only other oprion is "So not use the device"
[18:18] <Cristian7516> *Do not
[18:18] <Cristian7516> The first one is selected
[18:19] <kc2bez> ok
[18:20] <kc2bez> Under the Ubuntu Software tab is "Proprietary drivers for devices" tick on?
[18:23] <Cristian7516> -
[18:24] <Cristian7516> soty, I'm back
[18:24] <Cristian7516> I lost connection
[18:24] <Cristian7516> *sorry
[18:25] <Cristian7516> "Propietary Drivers dor devices " is selected
[18:25] <kc2bez> Ok,
[18:25] <kc2bez> hmm
[18:35] <Cristian7516> sudo nano /etc/modules
[18:35] <Cristian7516> soorry, I was writing in terminal :-)
[18:35] <kc2bez> No worries.
[18:35] <Cristian7516> no ideas?
[18:36] <Cristian7516> how can i remove every driver and try to clean and reistall fro mzero?
[18:36] <kc2bez> I was hoping for the easy way out XD
[18:36] <Cristian7516> ah ok
[18:36] <Cristian7516> sure
[18:37] <kc2bez> If you have it installed from the Ubuntu drivers it just updates along with the rest of the system.
[18:37] <Cristian7516> before all, I was able to let it work digiting "insmod 8812au.ko"
[18:37] <Cristian7516> now when i do it the answer is "insmod: ERROR: could not insert module 8812au.ko: Invalid module format"
[18:37] <Cristian7516> than i am blocked
[18:38] <kc2bez> Yeah, as the kernel updates you may need an updated driver too.
[18:39] <Cristian7516> laso in modules i cannot see it
[18:39] <Cristian7516> if i gigit "lsmod" I cannot see 8812au anymore
[18:41] <kc2bez> This github repo looks very up to date. https://github.com/morrownr/8812au
[18:41] <Cristian7516> I 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 message
[18:43] <kc2bez> In the readme it indicates that it should work with 20.10
[18:43] <Cristian7516> For sure works also 2/3 days ago than i'am sure that works with this Lubuntu version
[18:44] <Cristian7516> the problem is "What's happen after" Maybe I did something wrong,,,
[18:46] <kc2bez> It looks like there have been recent changes (in the last 2 days) to the install script (I haven't investigated them though).
[18:47] <Cristian7516> If I try this: sudo modprobe -v 8812au
[18:47] <Cristian7516> I receive this:
[18:47] <Cristian7516> nsmod /lib/modules/5.8.0-33-generic/kernel/drivers/net/8812au.ko modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '8812au': Exec format error
[18:49] <Cristian7516> I tried also: dmesg | grep 8812au
[18:49] <Cristian7516> and i recieve:

[18:53] <Cristian7511> -q *!*
[18:53] <Cristian7511> ok sorry
[18:53] <Cristian7511> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7tmGSr87gK/
[18:53] <Cristian7511> these are all the rows
[18:54] <Cristian7511> I think I should have just one.....no?
[18:55] <kc2bez> I'm not really sure.
[18:59] <kc2bez> Since 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.
[19:03] <Cristian7511> ok I try
[19:03] <Cristian7511> thanks
[19:04] <kc2bez> Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
[20:15] <Cristian75> Hi all
[20:34] <cristian63> Tried but at startup I have again to launch insmod command
