ok I tried the wifi ideapad solution, need help [solved]

[AndyMH]

make fails to work

Code: Select all

apt install build-essential

I suspect you are missing some of the packages required.

[wutsinterweb]

I turned off fast boot and ran that command, make still throws up the erros

Is it a bad idea to talk to the dev (finger) directly? I'm afraid to bother him/her.

[sleeper12]

I'm rather stumped, but see if this makes any difference:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install make gcc linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential git

Reboot

no joy didn't update anything

[wutsinterweb]

should I email the dev?

[sleeper12]

should I email the dev?

I doubt you would get an answer, but your choice.

[sleeper12]

Maybe you tried this before ( ), but if not, #9 here:
https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.c ... k.html#ID9

[wutsinterweb]

Yup, I tried it before, no joy.

I wonder if the dev reads here and might see what the make error is and update his code?

In the mean time, I ordered a USB WIFI device, but I need the USB Port so eventually I pray this can be solved. I'm bummed, but this is what I get for going for a brand new laptop, hah.

[sleeper12]

You could try your previous kernel, but not sure if that would help either.

[wutsinterweb]

Yeah, thought about that, how would I do so?

[SMG]

should I email the dev?

No.

tried this but make throws up errors

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1412450 ... k-10ecb852

Try reading the second answer (copied below) which is from Larry Finger

The driver rtl8852be is obsolete, and generally inferior to the one now in https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git, which parallels the code that will be in kernel 6.2 when it is released in 2-3 months. The repo https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw8852be.git will be deleted on Dec. 1.

The 6.2 mainline kernel was released the middle of February. You could see if it is available through the PPA. Mainline – Another Tool to Install Latest Kernel in Ubuntu / Linux Mint

[sleeper12]

Yeah, thought about that, how would I do so?

You can do so in Grub, Advanced Options. Choose your previous kernel, remove the 6.0 kernel in Update Manager, View, Linux Kernels & reboot.

[wutsinterweb]

that didnt help make still fails

[sleeper12]

Let's see what this shows:

Code: Select all

uname -r && dkms status

[wutsinterweb]

6.0.0-1012-oem
