I could use some help. I'm trying to fix my internet connectivity issues with this: Slow WiFi with Ubuntu 18.04 and Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168

Right now in above link fix, I'm at commands:

$ cd backport-iwlwifi
$ sudo make && make install

and it stopped here:

  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 6 modules
/bin/bash: line 47: .kernel_config_md5: Permission denied

Makefile:40: recipe for target 'install' failed
make: *** [install] Error 1

Please help, I'm not sure how to get permission in the area I'm at, or how to continue.

Also, I'm not sure how to delete the files on step 4 of the above link. I looked at them in the folder and there is no option to delete.

    It should be sudo make install – Terrance Oct 25 '18 at 16:48
  • Seems like you linked to the wrong answer. Should be this one, no? https://askubuntu.com/a/1071565/301745 – wjandrea Oct 25 '18 at 19:27
  • ok thanks for help all... do you guys know how to do this in the above thread... "For Intel users: Delete all the firmware files for your Intel wireless from /lib/firmware/. It will be all the iwlwifi-*.ucode files that must go." I copied the files away but can't delete them, and can't do a chown command to get ownership of them. Thanks – Blobb Oct 26 '18 at 17:26

    You only need sudo make install. In the linked post, SuperSonic4 is just saying if you ran a command (make install) then realized you need sudo for it, sudo !! will re-run the command with sudo. – wjandrea Oct 25 '18 at 19:25
