Moral of the story for anyone out there: Personal hotspot is your friend!įor clarity, I want to add that if you try to apt install rtl8812au-dkms first, like I did, you’ll have to remove it with sudo apt purge rtl8812au-dkms before you implement the solution below.I should preface I'm almost completely new to Linux, especially installment-wise so please bear with me. Maybe some of the software updates I was able to run while tethered made the difference. Literally the only difference was downloading the repo with git clone rather than transferring via USB. I tried the proposed solution while tethered to my iPhone so I could do git clone, and I am now connected to wifi! I still don't understand what happened. After reboot, my Nvidia drivers are working great now, but I still can’t connect to WiFi. This allowed me to run software update and apt update, apt install proper Nvidia drivers, and apt install rtl8812au-dkms. I just turned on my personal hotspot and plugged it into usb, booted up, and I was online. I was able to tether to my phone through usb with no fuss at all. I'm stuck here, and I appreciate your help! There appears to be an issue with the definition of the platform_wifi_power functions?Īfter running dkms status, it shows the new version rtl8812au 4.3.14 has been added, but not installed. Here's a picture-sorry I couldn't copy and paste the code.
I moved forward with the aforementioned stack exchange solution. I rebooted, but my system still couldn't see my wifi adapter. I was able to put all necessary dev packages from my install USB into my home folder and run dpkg -install *.deb to install the rtl8812au driver version 4.3.8 and all of its dependencies. Before doing their solution, I wanted to try the officially supported rtl8812au driver first, so I downloaded it from here onto a USB from another computer and transferred it to my Ubuntu home folder.
I found this answer that references this driver. Unfortunately, my PC is not near my internet access point, so I have to rely on wifi. I just installed Ubuntu 18.04 last stable release. Fairly new linux user here, so be gentle.
