Realtek 8188eus(after getting a solution actually rtl8188fu) wifi usb not detected after driver make and install

[Vipul88]

I,too think that the issue shouldn't be related to installing a driver. Also this one is proven to work (not only with MX).

"Maybe" for you have 2 additional repos.. or something else ...

If it was a clean MX install and then you installed the driver this way, I've no doubt it would work flawlessly... (Maybe you try that on a tiny partition, say 8 GB ).

Is That possible, two MX in grub?if yes is it a dual boot ?

[Huckleberry Finn]

Yep. No matter both are same versions..

Anyway, on Grub you'll see them as "MX 19 blahblah on sdaX" and "MX .. on sdaY"

You can also label their partitions on Gparted, say, the current one as MX and the new one as TEST or so ... that will make things easier in general, to recognize which is which..

I have a test MX running without swap my query is,
Do I need to apt update and upgrade before installing drivers?
And update to kernel 4.19 0-10?

[Huckleberry Finn]

Not a must but would be better. (recommended by me :) )

P.S. You can even install the 5.6 kernel from MXPI .

P.S. In case you decide to remove one of the MXs and let one only, you may need to start MX Boot Repair first and give the Grub's control to the one that will stay. (Or later do it on live-session if you forget doing that).

Also remember that you can take a snapshot with "MX Snapshot" when everything's fine, and have your own iso under your hand somewhere, so you won't need to do them again and again ..

after i make the snapshot in a pendrive will it load as live if i save it in a usb stick?
