I have just recently installed Ubuntu and I am new to Linux.

My network adaptor, Asus usb-n13, keeps disconnecting every few minutes and I lose internet connection. the only way to connect back to the internet is to unplug and plug in the adaptor, which is aggravating because I have to do it so often.

I have tried the solution on this forum post but it didn't work. When I typed in sudo dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes to the terminal, it says

/usr/src/.-rtl8192cu-fixes does not exist

Does anyone know how to get the adapter to work, or even why it keeps disconnecting?

Does previous command git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git works ? If it does not, you are trying this in /usr/src and maybe your user does not have rights in /usr/src. You can try run command with sudo like sudo git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git or first make git directory in your home directory and then run git command like mkdir ~/git && cd ~/git && git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git

  • I was able to install the dkms, but now when I type sudo depmod -a, it doesn't do anything.

  • nvm, downloading the dkms fixed it. Ty
