while upgrading dkms.mx build hangs up with -m rtl8821cu [Solved]

[AA BB]

apparently, it is trying to build this module for each kernel stored on system 6.1.0-23 -21 -23 -35....any work around possible (remove kernels etc..)

Please post your QSI. ( MX Menu, Quick System Info, Copy for Forum, Paste here )

From a QSI in your post history viewtopic.php?p=818023#p818023, it looks like you're using Intel Wireless 7265 (iwlwifi) for your wifi.
If that's still the case you can remove the rtl8821cu dkms stuff.

An easy way to do that, use:

MX Tools > MX Cleanup > Tools (tab) > 'Remove unused Wifi drivers' (button)

to remove it.

I previouly did this....should I remove unused kernels ?? (keeping current kernel and newest previous kernel)

If they aren't being used, go ahead and remove them.

I wouldn't call building those drivers a "hang"; it's more that it takes a loooooong time.

I'd amend that to the current kernel and the one that previously worked.

The operation to remove unused wi-fi drivers should have removed all those dkms drivers, not leave rtl8821cu-dkms behind. Something is off here---what does it list if you try it again?
