What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Ubuntu 13.04 i386 Desktop without any networking connectivity
2. attempt to install this .deb
3.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
disclaimer: have almost no knowledge of Ubuntu
Ubuntu Software Centre shows
rtl8192cu-tjp-dkms
rtl8192cu-tjp driver in DKMS format
Dependency is not satisfiable: dkms (>=1.95)
version: rtl8192cu-tjp-dkms 1.6
total size: 5.5MB when installed
I solved this by installing DKMS first (probably obvious to experts; not to me
:-)
1. Browse to
http://linux.dell.com/dkms/
2. From this page, download the latest stable DEB
http://linux.dell.com/dkms/permalink/dkms_2.2.0.3-0_all.deb
Save to a convenient location.
3. Installing this through Ubuntu Software Centre didn't work; the install
button would never become available. Instead,
a) open a Terminal window
b) switch to the root context by entering the following command:
sudo bash
provide the administrator password when prompted.
c) initiate installation by entering the following command:
dpkg -i dkms_2.2.0.3-0_all.deb
4. You can now install this .DEB; I couldn't install using Ubuntu Software
Centre, but successfully installed from a Terminal window;
a) open a Terminal window
b) switch to the root context by entering the following command:
sudo bash
provide the administrator password when prompted.
c) initiate installation by entering the following command:
dpkg -i rtl8192cu-tjp-dkms_1.6_all-OBY.deb
d) the process typically takes 1-3 minutes.
5. When complete, restart
6. Connect to the WiFi network.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Please provide any additional information below.
NB the .DEB works perfectly for me; this is merely an enhancement request for
the installation instructions, particularly for newbies.
