I was following the handbook for amd64 install but accidentally forgot to install a package for wifi. I do not particularly want to start again due the (>10h compiling time). Is there any way to get a package for it onto the device, if so which package/how

#

running. will update

I've not used wifi for my desktop in over 10 years, but I found using wpa_supplicant and just any dhcp client (I'm using udhcpc) is enough for everything

#

as I started using wifi in the last couple months

#

this ran successfully, but running nm returns ‘a.out’ no such file

#

both returned as not found, which is why i tried just nm

#

wgetpaste not found lmao

#

lmfao

#

equery not found 😭

#

i’m convinced the system just… doesn’t exist

#

yup

#

that ran fine

#

try the prev again?

#

still not found

#

equery

#

oh no

#

i didn’t notice

#

it failed to install

#

#

all you need to do is, chroot in, then emerge

fallow lava
#

yup

#

failed to run command ‘/bin/bash’: No such file or directory

from:

chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash

#

ran as root

#

wait i can send a screenshot now

#

oh umm whoops

#

me rushing 🔥

#

which is why this started

#

i should slow down

#

only the last 2 succeeded

#

#

sda1 was boot

#

sda2 was swap

#

sda3 was filesys

#

so now i jsut need to get the pkgs?

#

massive emerge command now i presume?

#

#

I'll return when/if that completes

#

this the return

#

successful

#

1s

#

yu[p

#

its pinging

#

also isn't it better idea to run ping [site] -c 3 or ping [site] -c 5 etc. over jsut ping [site]

#

k

#

i'm aware

#

is that not better than having to terminate the command

#

yup

#

#

yup
