[18:36] <xu-irc44w> Hi, I am back with my problem: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1388628/xubuntu-usb-wifi-driver-lost-with-recent-update?noredirect=1#comment2398458_1388628.   Last time I got recommendation to re-install the OS; yes, that temporarily solved the issue and the antenna got signal again.  But once I ran through updates, puff, gone again.
[18:36] <xu-irc44w> Is there another driver that is not affected that you could refer me to?
[18:37] <xu-irc44w> I saw two more folks who had the same issue, but I must believe there are more laptops out there that get affected ?
[19:30] <xenoid> anyone here?
[19:35] <oerheks> Maybe?
[19:35] <oerheks> ask your real question and find out
[19:58]  * oerheks walks away
[20:00] <tomreyn> xu-irc44w: i assume, solely based on the message given, "Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...", that the kernel version you are running now, does not actually need this out of tree module, but supports it natively. there seems to be another issue, where this out of tree module was built (by dkms) from module source version 5.6.1, but this version is no longer available - apparently the code in the directory dkms builds 
[20:00] <tomreyn> the module from has changed.
[20:01] <tomreyn> and the /var/lib/dkms/rtl88x2bu/5.6.1/build/make.log log should have more info on this second issue
[20:31] <xu-irc44w> thanks tomreyn, let me check the log

[20:35] <xu-irc44w> there is no such dir
[20:37] <xu-irc44w> do see options for me?
[20:58] <tomreyn> xu-irc44w:  so it looks like you removed it? maybe you purged and reinstalled dkms?
[21:00] <tomreyn> the moule source seems to be located at /usr/src/rtl88x2bu-5.6.1*
[21:04] <xu-irc44w> ah, I did not re-install dkms after the re-install of the os, ok, my next step - thanks
[21:05] <xu-irc44w> however, on 2nd thought, you are right, the os did it natively, it does no longer need that driver install - its something in the upgrades that removes that again
[22:36] <xenoid> When I boot into grub my screen tells me Asus "Out of Range" I wait 15 seconds later and I can boot into xubuntu this is with a HDMI connection cable
[22:36] <xenoid> when I boot into grub with a vga cable I am able to select either my xubuntu os or my windows 10 os with no issues and boot into both
[22:36] <xenoid> how do I fix this issue?
