Error when attempting update from Debian 11 to 12 #220

Closed rwb196884 closed 1 year ago

rwb196884 commented 1 year ago

Was running Debian 11 with RTL8811CU/RTL8821CU installed from git.

Changed `bullseye tobookwormin/etc/apt.sources.list` and added

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

then 

# apt update
# apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs
# apt full-upgrade

The full-upgrade fails and it seems to be something to do with RTL8821.

You can try to use rtw88 instead of rtl8821cu. https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88

rwb196884 commented 1 year ago

So: is there a way to remove it so that I can complete the Debian update? At present this is causing

# apt --fix-broken install

to fail

kelebek333 commented 1 year ago

Run following commands.

sudo dkms remove rtl8821CU/5.4.1 --all
sudo apt install -f

Then You can install rtw88.

Thank you <3 that's got debian updated and restarted.

Strangely, the wireless interface in question has come back up.
