Hi everyone. I’m coming from an Arch install on my laptop (ASUS FX505DY), everything was smooth sailing until I installed the dkms drivers for the wifi+bluetooth card (realtek rtl8821ce) and rebooted, since then everytime I open any program window, or other things like using the yakuake pulldown or even expanding the system tray or checking other windows’ tooltips freezes the whole UI for a while (up to 15 seconds when opening ffox, for example), except for the mouse pointer which still moves.
Video of the freezes
Problem stays after reboots, but goes away if I uninstall the driver. Goes without saying that it comes back if I install it again.
The driver itself works fine, I’m posting this using it.
I’m at an absolute loss at this, if anyone can point me at what should I look into would be nice.
The dkms install didn’t show anything weird.
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
