Kernel won't install [Solved]

[arjaybe]

If you manually installed the driver source for the 8812bu adapter from github and enabled DKMS rebuilds for it, it could still be in your system, but not showing up in the apt system.

I don't know what that means. I cut-and-pasted commands.-) Here's some new output:

Cut and paste commands from a github site can do that, and could explain both why they can't be uninstalled with apt, and why they are building when MX versions of the package tell them not to try to build when the kernel is a newer one--6.2+, I think.

Usually the solution for this is to run "sudo make uninstall" in the folder where you built and installed the source code, but I'm sure there's some way to manually edit some dkms file in order to stop it from attempting to build. Or remove a suspicious folder in /usr/src: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm ... _module_i/

Oooh, first tell us what

Code: Select all

Thank you. I didn't think it would matter for such small bits.-)

It looks like you also need to specify the module version, which in this case I think is 0.1
