Install command force unmounting the Zorin installation iso file it needs

General Help
21

One is out, my doorways are too narrow to get it close. Three is likely out because I don't think my aging HP laptop could handle it, and I haven't even gotten the parts for this PC's gaming beast twin that is also going inside this desk. Got any good suggestions for option 2?

I'm also wondering if I didn't somehow corrupt the installation files when I made the installation media using Rufus. Maybe I could get around most of these problems by rebuilding the install media and reinstalling Zorin. That's a question for tomorrow after work though.

I would try this anyway, though I doubt it will resolve your Wifi. I think you are completely on it on that.
If using Windows, Rufus is ok. I prefer Unetbootin.
It is also available on Windows.
Avoid Balena Etcher, though.

Well good news. I followed 337harvey's advice up here and got internet access through my phone. Went ahead and ran sudo apt --fix-broken-install which downloaded about 150 MB of missing stuff. So now we've got dkms, gcc and make. The bad news: as shown in the picture, it didn't like the .deb installer.

It dislikes the 5.13.0-30 kernel...
Let's go without DKMS:

sudo apt update && sudo aptinstall linux-headers-generic build-essential git

git clone https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux.git

cd rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux

make

sudo make install

sudo modprobe rtl8812au

26

make responded with enough compile errors to make a programmer take up drinking.

I've got an ice cold Dr. Pepper.
Can you post a shot of the errors?

It also struggled with the 5.13 modules.
Wonder if rolling you back to 5.8.0 may be the way to go...

What does

sudo make install

yield?

(Paraphrasing) cannot execute file not found

31

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

git clone https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu.git

cd 88x2bu

sudo ./install-driver.sh

Had to make a little modification to those commands because that first link was only a read me the creator left behind for an update.

Used his note there, did everything again and IT WORKS. You don't know how awesome you and this Nick guy are.

On a side note, where can I make a bug report? Did a little experimenting with some file verification software on my other computer. Installation files weren't corrupt, they're straight up missing make and dkms.

This depends on which software you would like to file with...
If one of the drivers on GIT, click issues at the top, then new issue to open a report.

If elsewhere - would need to look for that developers page or contact info.

Also Thanks @337harvey for saving our backsides on the Wireless Hotspot suggestion.

I was talking about the Zorin install files but I'll figure it out. Thanks dude

Ah, I see...

You must create a launchpad account in order to file on Launchpad

You can report bugs on the forum directly in Feedback Forum or to @AZorin

You can use the Contact Us form on the Zorin OS Website

This is fantastic!! Thanks for patiently working through this. I had all the same errors with 2 different USB wifi adapters (both using different versions of this driver, both with horrible instructions). Mine works great now, too.

P.S. - I also modified the github link to https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu-20210702
