Hello,
I'm trying to install a new driver for a new wifi dongle - the old one is just about hanging on but I need to get a new one up and running asap.
I have the driver on a cd but I cannot find a way to install it. Can someone give me instructions please?
I have tried various "fixes" but end up with:
sub-process/usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code(1)
or
Errors were encountered while processing
rtl8822bu-dkms
rtl8821cu-dkms
and
Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.8.06.5-generic (x86-64)
I don't understand the messages or how to correct any of the errors.
You can check status of secureboot with following command.
mokutil --sb-state

You sources look as you have tried to install a newer kernel. This would also be an option to install kernel 6.14, then the drivers should be contained in the kernel.
Sorry! I closed it and tried again. This is what I got this time.
