While following the instructions in this thread RTL8812AU Usb adapter driver issues I run across the following:

root@nathan-desk:/usr/src/rtl8812au-4.2.2# dkms build -m rtl8812au -v 4.2.2
Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

Building module:
cleaning build area...
'make' all KVER=4.15.0-20-generic...(bad exit status: 2)
ERROR (dkms apport): binary package for rtl8812au: 4.2.2 not found
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.15.0-20-generic (x86_64)

It seems to be an issue with the kernel. What should I do?

  • This means that the driver from that post doesn't build for your kernel. You need to find some other driver. – Pilot6 Jun 13 '18 at 17:21

See my question and answer at dkms drivers for rtl8812au & rtl8814au network dongles fail to build on 17.10 (kernel 4.13)

Get the newest rtl8812au driver that's compatible with 18.04 at:

sudo git clone https://github.com/zebulon2/rtl8812au-driver-5.2.20.git
