Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel [Solved]

[je55eah]

When istalling a new kernel with the MX package installer I see this error.

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel
bad exit status: 2

for multiple modules, is this a problem I can or should fix?

[timkb4cq]

There are some dkms packages that get rebuilt for each kernel. Newer versions of these are in the AHS repository along with the new kernels. Any of these dkms packages that you actually use should be updated. Ones that you don't can be removed.
Posting your Quick System Info will show us your hardware so we can tell which, if any you need for basic operation.
Others (virtualbox-dkms for example) will depend on whether you actually use the program.

Please post your Quick System Info before we can diagnose any errors/issues.

I do intend to use virtualbox and kvm/qemu.

It seems like I no longer have wifi after activating the new kernel.

Please don't spread the same issue across multiple threads.

[je55eah]

Okay, that topic was about firefox, and I only mentioned this issue there because system report is here.

I apologize...

Does someone know which modules I need to fix and how?

This seems like a similar issue:
