Can't get Realtek RTL8192EU 802.11b/g/n WLAN Adapter to work, maybe driver updating help?

… no - you didn’t check
But I just did.

That kernel is still available - and so must be the headers.
No need to remove it, then.

it says in my kernel manager that 4.19 is there, but its showing in my package manager that kernel isn’t there.

It also told you that the driver you wanted to install wasn’t there.
It “lied”. Both times.

No, actually the program is innocent, but he who operates it is not :sunglasses:
you just need to
make sure you are

  • not in software mode
  • have enabled AUR
  • have a good mirror list and refresh it

in the “General” and “Advanced” and “Third Party” tab of “Preferences”.

Of course the linux419 headers are available …

wdym not in software mode?

Please don’t use these abbreviations - but I deduced that you meant: “what do you mean?”
I meant the checkbox for that option in the hamburger menu that gives you access to the settings of the program.

tdavis3113, I have a hard time understanding what you have done so far.
Are you using Pamac? In command line interface (CLI) or Graphic User Interface (GUI)?
If you are using the cli, please write what instructions you are using.

The most user-friendly is to use pamac in GUI mode.
From the wiki (modified):

  1. Open Pamac - the name in menu is Add/Remove Software.
  2. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner (the hamburger menu).
  3. The first entry is “software mode” with a check box. Make sure it is not ticked.
  4. Navigate to the Preferences page. You will be required to enter your password to access it.
  5. At Preferences page → select the Third Party tab → and move the slider to enable AUR support.

Now leave the Preferences page and search for rtl8192eu-dkms. Install and tell us what happens.

In the meantime you might want to refer to this.

P.S.
As Nachlese said, please don’t use abbreviations.
If you haven’t already read this page, this is always a good read:

(8192eu-dkms is no longer in the AUR. I guess it has been made redundant by rtl8192eu-dkms. They both refer to the same git anyway.)
