| jim_hitek | I have all the drivers on board. Several directories. Installed with help from and expert on AskUbuntu. They are all there, but how to activate them and get them running? | 22:37 |
| Jeremy31 | Check in terminal> mokutil --sb | 22:37 |
| jim_hitek | Sorry, new to this system. I have the drivers. | 22:37 |
| jim_hitek | Returns "EFI variables are not supported on this system | 22:38 |
| jim_hitek | " | 22:38 |
| Jeremy31 | Now check> modprobe -c | grep -i a811 | 22:38 |
| jim_hitek | Returns: Null | 22:39 |
| Jeremy31 | So no driver was installed that supports the device | 22:39 |
| jim_hitek | Note this Realtek device has worked for years, after the 21.10 to 22.04 upgrade, once again it stopped working. | 22:40 |
| jim_hitek | Maybe not, but how do I reinstall it? I was told the last time it was fixed that it would be automatic... | 22:41 |
| jim_hitek | I'm at Ubuntu V22.10 +updates now. | 22:41 |
| Jeremy31 | You installed for 21.10 originally? | 22:43 |
| jim_hitek | I installed the Realtek setup back in V16.04 or maybe 18.04 and practically every update or upgrade of Ubuntu, it doesn't work afterwards. | 22:44 |
| jim_hitek | I've worked for hours with a guy at askubuntu and the last time he told me it'll be persistant through an update or upgrade. But it doesn't. | 22:45 |
| jim_hitek | Doesn't keep working. It did a couple times during the 21.04-21.10 era, but broke again when upgrading to 22.04. | 22:46 |
| Jeremy31 | jim_hitek: chili555 or pilot6? | 22:46 |
| jim_hitek | Dunno what that means. | 22:47 |
| jim_hitek | OH, yeah it was hey something...lemme go look... | 22:47 |
| Jeremy31 | heyenna | 22:48 |
| jim_hitek | @heynnema | 22:49 |
| jim_hitek | Yes. | 22:49 |
| Jeremy31 | In terminal do> git clone https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708.git | 22:50 |
| jim_hitek | okay, cloning. | 22:51 |
| jim_hitek | I've got three directories that I've installed for the Realtek, is this one of those or a new one? | 22:52 |
| jim_hitek | Anyway, Done. | 22:52 |
| Jeremy31 | Then> cd 8821au-20210708 && sudo ./install-driver.sh | 22:52 |
| jim_hitek | Now what. | 22:52 |
| Jeremy31 | This should be a new one as it is easier than removing and updating the other | 22:52 |
| jim_hitek | I see. Okay, working... | 22:53 |
| jim_hitek | "Do you want to edit the driver options file now? y/N" | 22:53 |
| Jeremy31 | n | 22:53 |
| jim_hitek | "Reboot"? | 22:54 |
| Jeremy31 | yes | 22:54 |
| jim_hitek | Okay, bye for now... | 22:54 |
| jim_hitek | Thanks. | 22:54 |
| jim_hitek | That worked, thanks, now I'd like to copy this so I can type it out and save if for the next time Ubuntu updates/upgrades. How do I do that? | 23:43 |
| jim_hitek | Nevermind, figured it out. | 23:45 |
| jim_hitek | Can I bring up another 'Worked in 22.04 but doesn't work in 22.10 issue' here, or start a new thread? | 23:49 |
| jim_hitek | Regarding commercial software/hardware that I pay a yearly fee for...StrongVPN. They have an engineer working on it but it's been nearly a week. | 23:51 |
| Jeremy31 | Try on #ubuntu first | 23:51 |
| jim_hitek | Okay, thanks. | 23:51 |
