Did you update system?āPackage kernel-devel-5.1.5-300.fc30.x86_64 is already installedā is package for new kernel.You must reboot and match kernel with kernel-development package
Itās my error - again. Sorry; I entered dnf install update instead of dnf install upgrade and I havenāt been scrutinous with the output. The system is now upgrading. Iāll keep you posted.
Oh, thatās not right neither, for now Iām downloading Fedora 30 entirely, right?
No but downloads and update system look like it is 800+ mb
Ok, progress. I upgraded (dnf upgrade) and rebooted, but got the same error message above. On repeat of the list above I rebooted before the make command. This time I got past that particular error. Does this mean that I successfully matched the newly installed kernel-devel with the kernel-development package?
Now my latest error report is this;
[root@localhost RTL8192EU]# make install
install -p -m 644 8192eu.ko /lib/modules/5.1.5-300.fc30.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
/sbin/depmod -a 5.1.5-300.fc30.x86_64
depmod: ERROR: failed to load symbols from /lib/modules/5.1.5-300.fc30.x86_64/kernel/drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target_mod.ko.xz: Input/output error
[root@localhost RTL8192EU]#
Sorry, i donāt know about this error nothing .Maybe someone will know about this more. Check you have kernel-modules-extra & kernel-modules packages installed. Just run dnf install kernel-modules-extra kernel-modules
Check; these are already install.
I understood from @bluebatās post that the old driver (what I now know to be rtl8xxxu) would be blacklisted automatically. Today I followed leeseiās instructions found here (last post)^ and rebooted. I then retried @bluebatās instructions again. This time there was much more output but the automation still aborted at the bad exit of a tmp file. I then tried ZeeRoooās instructions again and this time the installation completed.
I rebooted but, alas, still no wireless for the dongle, but I am getting system crashes pertaining to the 8192eu driver:
I then go to enter sudo su lshw -c network and see, to my surprise, that rtl8xxxu has actually loaded:
[root@localhost useru]# lshw -c network
...
*-network:0
description: Wireless interface
physical id: 1
bus info: usb@2:1.3
logical name: wlp0s29u1u3
serial: a2:37:bd:38:20:d8
capabilities: ethernet physical wireless
configuration: broadcast=yes driver=rtl8xxxu driverversion=5.1.5-300.fc30.x86_64 firmware=N/A link=no multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11
Iāve checked to see whether the blasklist file is there, and it is:
But one other thing that I did (and I now wish that I had done them deperately) was to remove the dongle before retrying the relevent instructions mentioned.
I am reckoning that I now have a conflict.
@ledeni Success! I remembered what youād shown me:
rmmod rtl8xxxu
modprobe 8192eu
Resolved! I suspect though, that on reboot the persistent rtl8xxxu will load. Iāll let you know.
Have yourself a good weekend.
And it did, and now I see my error: my blacklist file ends with ,conf (note the comma) instead of .conf
Now the rtl8xxxu is blacklisted. So it appears that ZeeRoooās driver (above) loads once the rtl8xxxu driver is blacklisted (https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver/issues/46), or because the dongle is unplugged while loading the driver.
Hello, I canāt install the driver on Fedora 30, I have kernel-devel package installed, I cloned RTL8192EUās repo, but when I try āsudo modprobe 8192euā I get the following error :
āmodprobe: ERROR: could not insert ā8192euā: Operation not permittedā
Any clue ?
Hello @youssefmsourani, thanks for the advice, I disabled secureboot and the command worked !
But it seems that the driver is still not working, when i plug the dongle i have the following system error :
I did blacklist rtl8xxxu and rebooted but it changes nothing
Any ideas ?
i dont know but try this .
echo blacklist rtl8xxxu |sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8xxxu_blacklist.conf
sudo dracut --regenerate-all --force -v
dracut will regenerate all initramfs ,donāt turn off your computer during dracut is running .
This image just to shows that the file required to become inside initramfs , maybe this help.
Iām not sure it will work.
Donāt forget to read the comments here https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver/issues/46
@icecube
Hello @youssefmsourani, unfortunately it didnāt help. I see no wifi driver with lshw -c network
, only ethernet. And I still encounter system errors when i plug my dongle.
I think those drivers arenāt supposed to work yet with kernel 5.3.6, I think iām going to give up, maybe someone will find a solution in the future. Thank you for your help
Iāve got a better approach for this
Iām on 32 Kernel Version 5.6ā¦
Iāve had also this product, I bought it yesterday, after a large investigation because the product box said full LINUX support : Iāve found this GITHUB, updated to the latest kernel 5.6:
Just, git clone the repo and type:
./install_wifi.sh
Reboot and voila
NOTE
with dkms support for rebuild on each kernel updateā¦
Regards.,
But what is the difference with this other one repository?
The Big diferencie is error compiling in latest kernel
Regards
sir, what commands should i use to update itās driver?
would you like to list it?
You are posting on a thread that has been necro for about 3 years. Fedora has had about 6 version releases in that time and what was appropriate and worked then likely will not work now.
Please open your own thread for any issues you have for a current fedora release. I am closing this thread.
