Rtl8812au: 5.6.4.1 problem with Ubuntu 18.04

[ggerla]

Hi all
I'm trying to use this version with Ubuntu 18.04 (kernel 4.18 or 5.0). The build and installation is ok, but after the reboot Ubuntu is not able to start.
I have AWUS1900 and AWUS036AC connected to my PC.
I tried using

sudo ./dkms-install.sh

and also manual dkms commands.

same problem, Ubuntu 16.04, driver 5.6.4.1, AWUS036ACH

[kimocoder]

First off.. could you update to latest patches?
"git pull && make -j4 && make install"

1. OS
2. KERNEL VERSION
3. DRIVER BRANCH (VERSION)
4. WHICH DEVICE
5. WHICH CHIPSET
6. LOGS, DEBUG, DMESG

Does "make" work, but not DKMS? Or DKMS only.. that sort a stuff then we'll fix it together :+1:
🙂

[kimocoder]

Also.. you may try to disable this one https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au/blob/v5.6.4.1/os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c#L1450 by adding "//" in front and compile. report back please

unfortunately nothing helped (
Everything remains as well, tell me what other logs can help you?
The make command works fine, everything compiles.
The line you indicated to comment on, did everything, reassembled, but everything remained the same

Just in case I say the driver version 5.6.4 works

Did you "git pull" i see your using USB3, but I turned off USB3 support due to issues

Did you "git pull" i see your using USB3, but I turned off USB3 support due to issues

I tried hub 2.0, the problem remains. Perhaps this is not the case. (All the rest of your driver versions worked)

Which way is it worth looking? I know how to program, though I am new to writing drivers, but I have a great desire to learn

Ubuntu want some sort of signature.. do you know what this is, @fariouche ?

[fariouche]

This is because of trusted boot option that is enabled.
Either disable trusted boot or sign the module.

Same problems in Gentoo Linux with kernel 5.2.11. Relevant parts of the journal a part of the same traceback as previous messages.

aht systemd-networkd[202]: wlan0: Interface name change detected, wlan0 has been renamed to wifi-rtl8812au.
aht kernel: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000880
aht kernel: #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
aht kernel: #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
aht kernel: PGD 0 P4D 0
aht kernel: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
...........
aht kernel: systemd-udevd (285) used greatest stack depth: 12592 bytes left
aht systemd-udevd[198]: Worker [285] terminated by signal 9 (KILL)
aht systemd-udevd[198]: wlan0: Worker [285] failed

Fails consistently when udev tries rename it

I applied the diff of kimocoder plus patched the functions that register the struct and seems working

I applied the diff of kimocoder plus patched the functions that register the struct and seems working

having the same thing on Mint 19.2 and kernel 5.3.1 , build and install trough DKMS works just fine, no errors, but syste freeze when assigning name.

@amicuchu can you point me to the diff of @kimocoder and the patched function to apply on my side ?

[novasharper]

Also.. you may try to disable this one https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au/blob/v5.6.4.1/os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c#L1450 by adding "//" in front and compile. report back please

I think that was the change?

Same as for Archlinux with Linux 5.3.1 and installed via DKMS (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git/)

[amicuchu]

That's the patch I applied for make driver works

That is for the hang when system is resolving the name of the device, did fixed that by passing net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 over kernel command line inside grub. Although this approach is better for sure. Woks fine on Mint 19.2 with kernel 5.3.1 without the grub hack. Having another issue, driver is working, but is not seeing all the routers/hotspots. It seems is searching only for 5Ghz wifi. Also Monitor mode cannot be enabled. Beside that driver is working fine. My device is the Netgear A7000 – Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi USB Adapter – USB 3.0, Dual Band. Any tip to make device see all the wifi routers/hotspots or to turn on monitor mode ?

[logan001]

still download seems to be capped at 100Mbps. with my other driver i can get about 260Mbps.
i have no clue how is the upload. i didnt test it yet. and i think i'll never will. there is no point when driver is so bad

[kimocoder]

Newer Ubuntu kernels is kinda tricky..

The module signing information may be found below

We've done some changes. Try to update and report back if any new issues are found. Closing
