Thank you all for taking your time. 🧡

Indeed the package was fontsnaps. Running sudo apt purge fontsnaps got rid of it.

Hello. Which package is related to these files:

/usr/share/applications/LARGER_FONTS.desktop

🎉 Thank you so much for helping me. After upgrading that package, the dongle is working as expected. cool

TLDR, for users who might stumble upon this:

1. Enable backports by adding the backports repo to the file (For me it was there i just uncommented it): /etc/apt/sources.list
2. Install newer version of the Linux kernel from the backports repo: sudo apt install linux-image-amd64/daedalus-backports
3. Upgrade Realtek packages: sudo apt install -t daedalus-backports firmware-realtek
4. Reboot your system.

I don't know how new this adapter is. The firmware is from 2023, two years old. In any case installing the backports firmware is worth a try.

Linux kernel 6.2 was officially released on February19,2023 according to chatgpt. I'll give it a shot

Does the command

# modprobe rtl8xxxu

change anything?

It returned nothing and inxi is the same. So probably it did nothing.

How did you install Devuan? Which release are you using?

I installed Devuan from desktop-live ISOs.

Hello, I'm currently testing Devuan on my machine. everything is fine except my WiFi dongle. The RTL8188FTV/FU has been supported by the Linux kernel since 6.2.
I enabled backports and upgraded my kernel to 6.12. but nothing changed. Note that on the same machine, Ubuntu and any other distro with a recent kernel brings up the WiFi device, Devuan is the exception here.🙁

~$ inxi -N
Network:
  Device-1: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet
    driver: r8169
  Device-2: Realtek RTL8188FTV 802.11b/g/n 1T1R 2.4G WLAN Adapter type: USB
    driver: N/A

on ubuntu 25 the output of inxi -N for my usb device is rtl8xxxu or something like that....

kernel version:

~$ uname -r
6.12.43+deb12-amd64
~$ apt list --installed | grep realtek

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

firmware-realtek/stable,now 20230210-5 all [installed]

maybe I should fetch this firmware from backports? IDK.

Regards.
