ReManager won't connect

[light charm]

Is this the cable that came with the tablet?

[alpine cloak]

it's my Xiaomi phone cable

[past nova]

can you hit http://10.11.99.1 in a browser?

are you sure that cable has the data pins connected?

[alpine cloak]

I already tried connecting 2 different cables, I will look for the original cable too

[alpine cloak]

it's loading infinitely for me

again sorry about my phrasing, English not my first language

[light charm]

Is 10.11.99.1 in the list of IP addresses? Since you covered it up, it's not quite clear to me

Oh wait, it's not covered

It's just hard to see

[alpine cloak]

here is a more clear view

[light charm]

What OS is your computer running?

[alpine cloak]

bazzite - Linux

[light charm]

From the command line run ip a s

Do you see a line that starts with inet 10.11.99. in it

[alpine cloak]

should I send a picture of the terminal?

[light charm]

Probably not, since it has your mac addresses in it

[alpine cloak]

I'm not seeing the IP listed there

[light charm]

Okay that's interesting

Is one of the lines something like usb0?

[alpine cloak]

not seeing anything like it

[light charm]

That's fairly odd

[alpine cloak]

just some other ip's

[keen orbit]

Wild guess - when did you last update your computer?

And did you restart it afterwards?

[alpine cloak]

maybe something about the country I'm in? I'm from Brazil, a non officially supported country

[light charm]

No

[keen orbit]

Can't be it

[light charm]

If you did an update that included a kernel update and haven't restarted yet, assuming bazzite isn't an image based update system

that would explain it

[alpine cloak]

maybe I should run ReManager using wine-bottles on linux?

[light charm]

No

reManager is a linux native application

running the wine version is less likely to work

[alpine cloak]

is there any way for me to verify that?

I'm kinda new to Linux sorry

[keen orbit]

Yup, exactly what I'm thinking

It's easiest to just reboot it

[light charm]

Probably easiest

I don't know what package manager bazzite uses

[alpine cloak]

okay I will reboot now

I got the original cable too

[keen orbit]

I guess you can test it with "sudo modprobe usbnet"

That should force Linux to load the kernel module (driver) for USB network cards

[light charm]

bazzite looks like it's image based though, so this might not be relevant, although it could just be missing the drivers, which would be an odd choice from the bazzite devs

[alpine cloak]

hmmm got it, gonna try it as soon it my PC boot up

[light charm]

Before you plug in the device, get dmesg -w running in a console to see what it says

It'll probably tell us most if not all we need to know

[alpine cloak]

the console says operation not permitted

that's odd

[light charm]

sudo

[alpine cloak]

oh it showed lots of things

should I send it to you?

[light charm]

Potentially, but I want you to read it first

What does it say about the usb device, does it have any errors or warnings?

[alpine cloak]

nt seeing any errors about usb

[light charm]

[ 34.523026] cdc_ether 1-3:2.0 enp16s0u3c2: renamed from usb0

ip a s enp16s0u3c2

That would be the usb network

What IP address does it have after inet in the output?

[alpine cloak]

where do I look for it?

[light charm]

In the output of this

[light charm]

So it's failing to even negotiate the connection

[alpine cloak]

oh, maybe something about bazzite

[light charm]

ip addr add 10.11.99.1/24 dev enp16s0u3c2 I believe

[past nova]

have you rebooted the tablet?

[keen orbit]

sudo*

[keen orbit]

Or NetworkMangler is at it again

[light charm]

Perhaps, although I use networkmanager and have had no issues with it messing these connections up

[keen orbit]

I did have to change a couple of settings in NM to work with the tablets

[light charm]

Interesting, what distro?

[keen orbit]

Arch, but my network setup is weird

[light charm]

Ah, well I've not had issues with the default arch config

[alpine cloak]

yess

[light charm]

Whoops, change it to 10.11.99.2

[keen orbit]

I believe you might need a ... yeah that

[keen orbit]

Run ip a and send us the whole output

[light charm]

ip addr del 10.11.99.2/24 dev enp16s0u3c2

and then try again

it already has 10.11.99.2 assigned, I assume this was done by the tablet as part of when you were configuring it and it communicated with the tablet to determine if the IP was available, and then errored

[keen orbit]

Afterwards, run "ssh [email protected]"

[light charm]

Perhaps in the time it took for you to type in the command it negotiated with the dhcp server on the device and removed 10.11.99.1 already

[light charm]

Does bazzite have a firewall?

[keen orbit]

Shouldn't you delete .1?

If .1 remained we're still in the IP conflict

[alpine cloak]

oh, how do I remove it

[light charm]

That is what #1499134058419195967 message is trying to do

Oh, I see

That was deleting 2, not 1

My bad again

[alpine cloak]

I dont think so

[light charm]

Apparently I need more caffiene

[light charm]

It does actually

but we'll do this first

[alpine cloak]

thank you so much for the patience

[light charm]

ip addr del 10.11.99.1/24 dev enp16s0u3c2
ip addr add 10.11.99.2/24 dev enp16s0u3c2

Then try to ssh in

well, also check ip a s enp16s0u3c2 to make sure it has the correct IP configured

and then we can look at the firewall if necessary

[alpine cloak]

bazzite@bazzite:/var/home/bazzite$ ip a s enp16s0u3c2
5: enp16s0u3c2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000

[keen orbit]

LGTM

Try the ssh now

[alpine cloak]

YOOOO it workeed

[light charm]

Awesome

[alpine cloak]

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH

sorry if I was a pain to enter commands

is there any sensitive information I should delete from this chat?

[keen orbit]

Nope! You were totally fine. And your English's fine too - don't worry about it so much 🙂

Maybe delete this

[light charm]

Maybe remove this as well, since it's part of the password

and especially the one with the full password here

[alpine cloak]

all deleted, thx

[keen orbit]

Ah, I think I know what happened

Wanna test something?

[past nova]

you're gonna wanna downgrade off that beta as well

[light charm]

It probably would be worth having reManager and vellum refuse to install on the beta

[alpine cloak]

sure

[past nova]

not everything depends on os version

[keen orbit]

Reboot the computer, unplug the tablet. Plug it in after you login

Make sure you can't connect via SSH

[light charm]

It's more about playing nice with the EULA

Especially for all those people who don't read it

[alpine cloak]

oh after the reboot , its not connecting anymore, even tho its saved on ReManager

connection timed out

[keen orbit]

Perfect

Open NetworkManager applet on your computer

[alpine cloak]

ok

[keen orbit]

And send the screenshot

[keen orbit]

NM is not a part of remanager

It's your PC's network settings. Usually you can find it on the taskbar next to the clock

[alpine cloak]

is it this?

i thin its the firewall

[keen orbit]

It's this

(Random picture off of google search)

[alpine cloak]

is there a way to execute network manager using terminal?

[keen orbit]

Try "nmtui"

[alpine cloak]

command not found

[light charm]

nmcli exists, but it requires knowing what commands to run

[alpine cloak]

I didn't find a network manager

[keen orbit]

Let me check something

[alpine cloak]

of course

[keen orbit]

Can you send me a screenshot of your entire desktop with all programs minimized

I need to see what desktop environment you're on

[keen orbit]

Ok, plasma, nice

Click here - the 4th icon from the clock

And send me the screenshot of what pops up

[keen orbit]

Click connect on enp16s0u3c2

and try to connect through remanager

[alpine cloak]

it says the connection is active

when I clicked

[keen orbit]

Ok

Now connect through remanager

[alpine cloak]

ooooh, now ReManager connected

[keen orbit]

Goddamn you NM. I knew that was it

Yeah - NetworkMangler mangled the network 😩

[alpine cloak]

You all are Genius

So, I have to connect mannualy on that tab?

[keen orbit]

Yeah

[alpine cloak]

ok got it!

thx

[keen orbit]

Np

sounds like that's what it should do
