Doing the usual MX23 update/upgrade on a live usb stick with root persistence:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

And getting "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"

Not sure what to do. The full process below:

ok, the rtl8812au-dkms package is apparently not building on the 6.1.0-12 kernel. short term answer is to remove the rtl8812au-dkms package. during removal, the kernel update should complete.

if you need the rtl8812au driver, then temporarily enable the ahs repo (use mx-repo-manager, or uncomment the line in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mx.list) , update sources (sudo apt update) and only install the rtl8812au-dkms package (sudo apt install rtl8812au-dkms). the kernel update should also finish as the driver is installed. then disable the ahs repo again.

Dolphin-Oracle solution worked. Everything good.

I got the same error message this morning, and am interested if it is necessary to remove the rtl8812au driver, and if so, how do I do that?

Also, here's the output of my attempt at determining if I have that driver installed:

Code: Select all

Description: rtl8812au driver in DKMS format.
 The rtl8812au driver provides the driver for Realtek 802.11ac (rtl8812au).
 This package contains the DKMS files to build and install rtl8812au.

opera-dude@GA-H270-HD3:~
$

And, here's the output of that error message:

Code: Select all

Apt Do Install

['Traceback (most recent call last):\n', '  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/nala/dpkg.py", line 465, in run_install\n    os._exit(apt.do_install(self.write_stream.fileno()))  # type: ignore[attr-defined]\n             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\n', 'apt_pkg.Error: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)\n']

Interestingly, even though I got the exit status 1 (error), my MX-Updater Icon is NOT green, and "says" that there are no updates available. So, it looks like I did get the new image.

So, should I just let things be, and NOT remove the rtl8812au driver?

Lastly, if I should remove it, what is the command to do that?

Interested in your thoughts

@dolphin_oracle :

I see this:

Will wait for the update.

Thanks to you and all the devs for the hard work

Posted: **Sun Sep 10, 2023 9:26 am**

main mx repos are now up to date, so checking for updates again should do the trick.

mirrors will catch up over time.

The kernel did update for me, with the message of that thing being deprecated.. IIRC.

*scratches head* I guess something will kick loose lol

its not the DEPRECATED message. Until we moved over the rtl8812au-dkms package from ahs last nite, the update wouldn't go through.

Oh... so the deprecated thing is "ignore, not important".
