Thanks to you, as well as others in the Linux community using this little gem with Linux! I'm on Mint XFCE and I bridged the gap to WiFi with an ole school Belkin USB adapter, much older by appearance than your own. Mine is a later one with no M2 socket so I'm running from a 128GB fast SD card; this lil computer is giving great performance so far. Tonight, we're testing Zoom on this bad boy!
It's a great bang for the buck for sure
Thanks for posting this video.
Any time
Fair warning folks, not all USB Wifi dongles are Linux Compatible. Make sure you look for Linux compatibility before you buy a dongle. I keep several Linux compatible USB dongles in my parts bin for situations like this since they are cheap. I learned the hard way years ago. Also, for those coming here a year or so after this video was released, there are now several different WiFi and Sound Card versions for the Evolve III due to hardware variations, be prepared to search your model number on the web for specific instructions if this video doesn't help you.
Thanks for the info!
Here is a simple way to install the driver for the Realtek RTL8723du internal wifi device.
Before you begin you will need to disable secure boot in the security tab in the bios if you installed your system in UEFI mode. An internet connection is also required. Use a USB ethernet adapter.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kelebek333/kablosuz
sudo apt update
sudo apt install rtl8723du-dkms
reboot
Very nice! Does it survive kernel updates?
@@temporarilyoffline I am new to linux so I can't provide an answer to that question at the moment. I am using ZorinOS 16.2 on my Evolve iii Maestro.
Ok. I haven't heard of ZorinOS, anything notable about it?
@@richardkeyes5844 Doing this before installing any of the "tools" is interesting because it forces download of all the compilation tools. So the repo really is going through the same steps automagically. Download, compile, and install, all just in repo form, definitely not pre-compiled.
It worked great for me. Thanks!
I've started using 'nala' instead of apt. It's much cleaner to read on screen etc
I will check that out. Thanks!
Steve, do you use this for logging? If so what Linux logging software do you use? While I hate Windows, I love N3FJP (or N1MM+). Yes, it is sometimes possible to run these under Wine but I have had mixed success getting either to work under Wine. This is my only reason to keep Windows on this laptop.
Thanks! - KD5ET
I use CQRLog. Hamrs would also work and is "light"
I used a Gigabit ethernet dongle. Worked great 😃I would say this is Ape easy. Not sure why he was complaining 🤣 'depmod -a' is one my favorite Unix commands.
Got up on the wrong side of the cage perhaps?
@@temporarilyoffline 😆
Yup Ethernet to usb dongle worked great for me too.
@@DougFredericks1 sometimes cheap and easy is cheap and easy 😀
Installed ubantu latest version
Sound and mouse pad is not working .
Evolve III laptop. I tried so many things still not working
Sound is a known problem on some models -- will be fixed in future OS updates, but this is first I've heard of mouse issues. Thanks for sharing.
@@temporarilyoffline after a while mouse start working, still looking for sound . Thanks
@@idea-Tech you might not get working sound until a future linux kernel update. I don't have working sound on mine yet. With how popular these things are, it will be fixed. In the meantime, most radios have sound cards, and if you still need one, there is the cheapo sabrent usb card that we know works. Once mine has working sound I'll put out a video demoing it.
@@temporarilyofflineI read where there is now a workaround for internal sound (built in speakers or analog earphones) but since it's working out of the box for a USB headset and bluetooth speaker, and since I read such awful things about the built-in speakers anyway, I'll just wait until the world of Linux catches up with the hardware. I'll watch for your video!
Have you tried this with Pop! OS? Everything except Wi-Fi worked out the box, but I got weird compile errors when I tried to do this compile process. From what I've read from others, it sounds like there might be an issue with the most current Ubuntu-based compilers causing it?
I haven't tried it with pop, let me know what you find out
@@temporarilyoffline No luck so far, I'll post the error message tomorrow after the most current round of OS updates.
Okay, using the apt method below, I get this error:
dpkg: error processing package rtl8723du-dkms (--configure):
installed rtl8723du-dkms package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status code 10
Errors were encountered while processing:
rtl8723du-dkms
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I suspect it's downloading and doing the "make" as part of the apt process, so a semi-automated way to do the compilation through the apt repo stuff, but still hitting the Pop! OS conflict. Will add one more reply later with the compilation errors when I use the in-video process.
@@ScottVieth Thanks Scott, looking forward to your findings.
@@temporarilyoffline Hate to say but for now I gave up on the Pop! OS efforts. I'll come back to it, but ended up going the Xubuntu route for now, and it's doing an okay job!
