dkms build error: 10 #140

I had an issue after updating KDE Neon today.

so I tried to follow the upgrade instructions here on github, that did not seem to work.

Then I tried uninstalling, rebooting, and installing again, but got an error to the effect that 'directory already exists and is not empty'

Then I tried uninstalling again. (I'm not savvy enough with gnu/linux to find the directory and delete it manually after running the uninstall script.

I noted the prompt to paste the terminal screen contents in to the problem report, so they are pasted below. I think I've managed to attach 'make.log' also if that helps.

I have no idea what to do after this, so if anyone knows, please do let me know ;-)

Something worked. I think previously 'git pull' did not work (at least I don't recall seeing the output I saw this time. This time, 'git pull' read back a lot of 'stuff' (40/40, Delta 22 iirc) Wifi now working ridiculously well. 4 times-ish faster than before the updates I ran on KDE Neon today.

Thanks very much again!

Glad you figured it out as that would have been my first suggestion. These drivers have to be kept up to date with git pull.

FYI: There may be a new driver for this chip in the next few months. It will be going into mainline as part of rtw88. I will be posting information about testing here at this repo when it is available for testing.
