Hello again,
in the meantime I had the chance to install Bodhi on my firendīs laptop. But I ran into difficulties:
As she wants to keep WIN10 as well I decided to go for dual-boot.
As peparation I de-activated fast-boot in WIN and disabled secure-boot in UEFI (at least I
thought I did).
Later it turned out that secure-boot wasnīt disabled after all. And so Bodhi was installed with secure-boot enabled.
That resulted in problems.
The installation itself went well as my friend finally got a network cable which I could connect to the router.
After the installation and system-update I wanted to solve the wlan-module-problem.
I did the following:
Code:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall git dkms build-essential
git clone https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce
cd rtl8821ce
chmod +x dkms-install.sh
chmod +x dkms-remove.sh
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
The driver was
successfully installed. But it didnīt work. The WLAN signal wasnīt found. Thatīs surely connected with the phenomenon of secure-boot enabled.
What I
should have done (probably) is this:
Code:
sudo apt install mokutil
sudo mokutil --sb-state
sudo mokutil --disable-validation
because that way the boot-check by shim should be deactivated under Linux. Secure-boot in UEFI is still activated but bootloader (GRUB), kernel and kernel modules shouldnīt be checked by the shim-bootloader.
That way I would probably have gotten the wlan to work.
Yet
what I did unfortunately was:
Going back to UEFI and disabled secure-boot (now for real). Afterwards a start of the laptop didnīt provide me with GRUB any more and WIN10 was booted.
So I went back to UEFI and enabled secure-boot once again. But I couldnīt get back GRUB after all. Itīs still WIN10 that boots with no way of choosing the OS.
So I seems I pretty messed up things.
Has anyone a clue what to do now?
Thanks so much for your help.
Greetigs
