Hi guys.

I hope you can help me with the installation of my USB wifi antenna again.

Almost a year ago here you helped me with the installation. After several days of trying I got it sorted out.

However, now that I switched to Kubuntu 20.04 and do it with the same method as last time, it didn't work for me.

I think it must have worked for me, because although I am still using another distribution, it is based on the same one: Ubuntu.

This is what I got this time:

Selección_043

When I go to put the last command for the installation it says: "Order not found".

I don't know if I am skipping a step or something else.

What should I do?

I would be very grateful for your answer.

Hi Luis,
I followed these steps for installation of the same driver.
Connect the adapter to USB port and check if it is there:
lsusb

If it is there, continue with installation:

sudo apt install git dkms
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl8812au
sudo make dkms_install

Restart after these steps. Adapter should appear in Wi-Fi networks.
In order to check DKMS status:
dkms status

In case if you need to remove the driver:
sudo make dkms_remove

Hi snow_dog

It worked for me!

The error was in the last part.

It used to say:
sudo make ./dkms_install

And it was:
sudo make dkms install

Thank you

Luis. Despite you have succedeed I have a wifi dongle with the same chipset "rtl8812au"

From time to time Ubuntu 22 still in development removes the driver after an upgrade
but instead of using dkms install I enter with a terminal into the folder and type

make
sudo make install

and it works
