I am trying to get the Archer T2UH WLAN USB adapter to work on my Ubuntu 16.04.

I followed the steps in this answer. At first I thought my whole system was broken when I rebooted after installing the driver, because it always froze on login screen. I could not even switch to non-graphical mode with ctrl+alt+f1 and the likes. Then I booted into recovery mode and did the installation again. That did not help either, because now the whole thing freezes after login.

(Edit #1: When I am logged in and then plug in the device, I get the following error dialog just before it freezes and I cannot do anything anymore: enter image description here I know, it does not tell much, but I cannot click or press any keys after that, so I cannot show the details. I also tried to plug it in with all other USB devices disconnected, in case of power supply problem. It does not help.)

(Edit #2: I also tried the driver from here. No improvement.)

However, I noticed, that it only freezes, when the USB device is plugged in / connected. So right now, I am writing form the same machine, but without having it plugged in.

I am wondering, whether this could this be a power supply issue, but then the T2UH should simply not work, but not freeze my system, right? So I guess it is a software (driver) issue.

What can I do about it?

I checked GitHub, but for that repository, there seems to be no Issue function available and the last development was a year ago.

Are there any experts here, who could guide me through the process of providing more information, so that I maybe can still get the T2UH working?

  • @db429 Thanks, but unfortunately it leads to the same result on my machine. – Zelphir Kaltstahl Jun 03 '17 at 16:15
  • perhaps following might be worth a try: sleep 5 && dmesg ; this gives you 5 seconds to plug in the device, before dmesg gets called, if it does not help using the graphical interface login in to tty1[ctl+alt+F1], and try it there. – d1bro Jun 04 '17 at 04:14
  • @db429 I tried and: Even in recovery mode (drop to root shell) it will freeze the machine when having the USB plugged in. I am not sure about the dmesg part. Do you mean I should redirect the output to a file and time the plugging in in a way, that the error is just logged to file before the system freezes? – Zelphir Kaltstahl Jun 04 '17 at 11:54
