Problems installing tp-link WN822N

Asked by John Wilson

I am trying to install a USB wi-fi adapter and have run into problems installing the drivers.
Searched the net and tried various solutions but the links were old and I ran into errors.
Can anyone suggest a solution that works?

There are different repositories with the driver, and it seems that the one you use has not been adapted to work also on the 5.0 version of the kernel.

I suggest that you try https://github.com/clnhub/rtl8192eu-linux

(Disclaimer: It has been adapted for kernel versions up to 5.4, but I cannot guarantee that it works with your device.)

Things seemed to work well until the final step 'Make' when I was told the binary code for rtl8192eu was not found.
That occurred in the directory rtl8192eu-linux-driver and also in the directory rtl8192eu where I could see the binary file.
Here is the make.log file from my attempt to make in the rtl8192eu directory:

John Wilson (jwilsondmartin) said : 		#7

I am beginning to think there is a problem with my computer's OS.
In Recovery mode I cannot run fsck.
I get the following messages:
/lib/recovery-mode/recovery-menu: line 80: etc/default/reS: no such file or directory
fsck from util-linux 2.31.1
dev/sda1 is mounted
e2fsck: cannot continue, aborting

Could this be why I cannot install rtl8192eu and if so how do I fix it?

Revision history for this message
Manfred Hampl (m-hampl) said : 		#8

fsck (file system check) requires that the file system is completely idle, i.e. it must not be mounted. So you cennot run fsck on your root file system when you boot from it, not even in recovery mode.

To run fsck on your root file system you have to boot an Ubuntu installer in the "Try Ubuntu without installing" mode and then issue the appropriate command.

And the output from building the driver:
It shows only warnings. I do not see a problem.
If you want us to check, then please provide the full output.

Revision history for this message
John Wilson (jwilsondmartin) said : 		#9

Booted up with a USB installer but could not get fsck to run.
Didn't get very far trying to install github's driver as there were missing dependencies etc.
 Jeremy and Manfred have pointed me to different ways that should work and my machine fails at the make stage
How can I check my machine or what do I need to reinstall?

Revision history for this message
Manfred Hampl (m-hampl) said : 		#10

Basic checks:

File system status:
When booting your system, you should see for a short moment a line on top of the screen that looks like
/dev/sda1 clean, 12345/23456 files, 123456/234567 blocks
If you see the word "clean", then this confirms that the root file system is in a consistent status and running fsck is not required.

Package management system:
Execute the commands

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo dpkg --audit

If there are warnings or error messages on the first two, or any output on the third command, then you have an inconsistency in the package management system (e.g. Issing dependencies).

What are the results of these checks on your system?

No file system status message on booting up.
It would be nice to have one.

1. That file system check information line is shown only for a rather short time. If your system boots very fast, then it might be hard to notice.

2. If "sudo dpkg --audit" does not produce any output (as seen on your system), then this is a good sign, because there are no problems with broken dependencies or other inconsistencies in the package management system.

3. There is one (minor) problem in the package management system:
Err:8 http://ppa.launchpad.net/openlp-core/release/ubuntu bionic Release 404 Not Found
E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/openlp-core/release/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.

There is no version for bionic in the openlp-core PPA. Since the current version of openlp is available in the standard Ubuntu repositories, you do not need that PPA.

ok. The command "sudo apt update" should now no more show lines with "Err:", "E:", "W:" or "N:" at the beginning.

Now let's go back to the driver for the tp-link WN822N device.

I suggest that you clean up your system and remove all source directories that you have created in your installation attempts for the driver from the https://github.com/jeremyb31/rtl8192eu-linux-driver and https://github.com/clnhub/rtl8192eu-linux source repositories.

Then execute the commands

sudo apt install dkms git build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
cd
mkdir wlan-drv
cd wlan-drv
git clone https://github.com/clnhub/rtl8192eu-linux
cd rtl8192eu-linux
./install_wifi.sh

and report what the results are. (Remark: you can of course name the working directory different from "wlan-drv")

The rtl8xxxu driver in the kernel should support that device but there have been reports of poor performance

Thank you Jeremy for your comment.
When I got the USB adapter it seemed to work out of the box, just.
After a day or two it just stopped working and then I had to find a solution.
Once again, thank you for your help.
