now,it has been installed onmy pc but now wifi drivers is not available in my system.what should i do now?
pls tell
Thank you for your guidance for installing zorin os in my pc but now a new problem arises that it doesn't contain wifi drivers in it, so how to install the wifi drivers?
pls tell this
In terminal, can you please run
sudo lshw -C network
Please relay that output here - This is to try to determine which hardware you are using and what drivers you need.
If you have Ethernet or can connect using USB - Phone hotspot, you can temporarily connect to download and install drivers on your machine without needing to download elsewhere and transfer with a USB stick.
It is a lower case L not a capital I...
lshw
which is LiSt HardWare.
It lists the Ethernet, but it does not list any Wifi... Is your Wifi device part of your motherboard or a separate plug and play device?
(Like a USB network adapter.)
Can you run in terminal:
sudo modprobe 88x2bu
Then test if Wifi is working or run
lshw -C network
Again to see if the Wifi is listed?
Hmm... According to literature, it should be included since kernel 6.2
Well... Let's go ahead and install the driver. I looked at different sourcs and picked this one due to it offering DKMS support:
Each command can be copy/pasted and run one at a time. If you see an error in the terminal, please stop and relay that error here.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install dkms build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/RinCat/RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver.git
cd RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver
This next step of three separate commands adds DKMS support, so that you do not have to reinstall the driver everytime the kernel upgrades:
sudo dkms add .
sudo dkms build -m rtl88x2bu -v 5.13.1
sudo dkms install -m rtl88x2bu -v 5.13.1
With that now installed, we can use the Module Prober again:
sudo modprobe 88x2bu
Can you try:
sudo dkms add -m rtl88x2bu -v 5.13.1 --source-only `pwd`
Interesting...
Well, let's try a simpler course to just get it working:
git clone https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu.git
cd 88x2bu
sudo ./install-driver.sh
You must reboot to initialize the new driver... So reboot and see if Wifi is working.
after the first step of cloning from github ,it ask me username and then password but it got stuck after asking me for a password...else everything is working properly but i am unable to enter the password there
what to do next?
Can you show a screenshot?
Heh wow... I see. The maintainer moved the repository.
It is
git clone https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu-20210702
That should get the driver files. Sorry about that.
Next is still
cd 88x2bu
sudo ./install-driver.sh
