Porteus

Hello,

Porteus installed on a physical computer, does not display a list of available wifi networks.
lspci | grep Network - Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter

iwconfig
eth0 no wireless extensions
lo no wireless extensions

How can I fix it?

Hi B@ktery.
How about this https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce ?

I tried to install it, I launch dkms-install.sh, getting an error: can't create directory '/usr/src/rtl8821ce-v5.5.2_34066.20200325': No such file or directory.
Perhaps it is not compatible, which operating system is used in Porteus 5 ?

how to install the driver on Porteus ?

Porteus or Porteus Kiosk? Two vary different systems with two different parts of the forum.

Porteus Kiosk

hi B@ktery the link that blaze give you work, but you have to install the dkms software first:

bash-5.0# ./dkms-install.sh
About to run dkms install steps...

Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/rtl8821ce/v5.5.2_34066.20200325/source ->
/usr/src/rtl8821ce-v5.5.2_34066.20200325

DKMS: add completed.

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...

Building module:

'make' -j6 KVER=5.5.17-zen................

DKMS: build completed.

8821ce.ko:
Running module version sanity check.

- Installation

depmod.....

DKMS: install completed.
Finished running dkms install steps.
bash-5.0#

modprobe load the module and lsmod show the module loaded so you can try if work for you..

I do not have a folder dkms in /var/lib/
And folders src in /usr/
What to do in this case?

hi, is better to mail fanthom ,kiosk isn't based on slackware, and maybe you can find a module for your wifi card without make all this...

I am getting this error now https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce/issues/49
But I can not apply the solution for this article https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce#ubuntu--debian
How can I fix the error in the Porteus kiosk - -bash: sudo: not found ?

B@ktery,

Its not worth the hassle - better use wifi dongle with "N" speed.

Please tell me how to do this in Porteus Kiosk?

You need to recreate kiosk kernel sources first:
http://www.porteus.org/component/conten ... ernel.html

then compile the wifi driver against them.

Moving the thread to appropriate forum category.

..i don’t understand if there is no way to install -tar -apt Kiosk in Porteus Kiosk, how to use such documentation?

You need to use another linux system which has all development tools included.
