Not really "feature" rather saying "Operation unimplemented"

chilly jewel
#

could you send the output of pacman -Q

amber harbor
#

how do i do that (im a complete noob at linux)

chilly jewel
#

open a terminal, can you do that?

amber harbor
#

Could not execute inferior process xterm

chilly jewel
#

ok then

#

press CTRL-ALT-F2, it will send you to a full-screen terminal window, to come back you press CTRL-ALT-F1

#

use that as a terminal

#

login, then type down "pacman -S xterm"

amber harbor
#

im typing my password and it keeps saying incorrect

#

hmm

chilly jewel
#

did you make a user account?

amber harbor
#

yes

#

and im typing that exact password

#

ok

#

done

#

nvm

chilly jewel
amber harbor
#

Could not do this operation if you are not root

chilly jewel
#

oh right

amber harbor
#

apparently im not root

chilly jewel
#

add "sudo" before that command

#

so sudo pacman -S xterm

amber harbor
#

done

chilly jewel
#

installed?

amber harbor
#

a file failed to download

#

apparently

chilly jewel
#

is your internet connection working?

amber harbor
#

yes , i connected before i did archinstall

#

should i do it again just to be sure?

chilly jewel
#

Yeah because you connected on the installation media, you have to do that again on your computer now, it didn't save the password and such

#

if you have networkmanager installed, you can just write down nmtui to do it in a more user-friendly way

amber harbor
#

it seems i don't

#

it says command not found

chilly jewel
#

do you have access to ethernet?

amber harbor
#

i have cable internet on my other pc

#

cant really connect this one to it

#

only wireless for now

chilly jewel
#

ok...

amber harbor
#

is it possible?

chilly jewel
#

then we are kind of forced to go back to the installer, connect to internet, mount partitions, chroot into your install and then run sudo pacman -S networkmanager xterm

#

so you install both

#

before you do that though, did you install a bootloader?

amber harbor
#

oh crap..

#

if i connect to ethernet i don't need to do all of those?

chilly jewel
chilly jewel
amber harbor
#

so i need to install it from the installerM

#

?

chilly jewel
#

or by using ethernet

#

any sort of cabled internet connection really

amber harbor
#

hang on , imma try and see if i can use the cable from my pc

chilly jewel
#

just ping google.com or something to see if it actually worked

amber harbor
#

okay

#

so i connected my ethernet and it says

#

temporary failure in name resolution

#

so , any solutions?

chilly jewel
#

am seeing what i can find

amber harbor
#

sure , take your time

chilly jewel
#

let's try this: ip link, send me the output or a picture of it

amber harbor
#

i can redo if the photo is shitty

chilly jewel
#

ip link set {name of the number 2} up

amber harbor
#

so enp2s0?

chilly jewel
#

yyeah

amber harbor
#

operation not permited

chilly jewel
#

try adding sudo?

amber harbor
#

i think it worked?

chilly jewel
#

ok, try again pinging google

amber harbor
#

same problme

#

problem

chilly jewel
#

ok

#

did you set a hostname?

amber harbor
#

what hostname?

#

for the pc?

#

yeah i did

chilly jewel
#

yes

amber harbor
#

that with the password?

chilly jewel
#

no, like

#

when you installed arch

#

did you modify the file /etc/hostname

amber harbor
#

i didnt modify files , i did it thru the installer

#

i think i set one

#

im not sure

chilly jewel
#

ok

#

so

#

login as root now

#

so sudo su

amber harbor
#

done

chilly jewel
#

systemctl start systemd-networkd.service

amber harbor
#

command not found

#

oh

#

i mistyped

#

wait

#

hang on

#

it worked

#

i skipped a letter

#

it didn't give me any message i suppose it worked

#

@chilly jewel

#

u here man?

chilly jewel
#

yes

amber harbor
#

you are offline so i got a bit scared

#

so what's next?

chilly jewel
#

i am seeing what you would have to do

#

and honestly

#

it would be way easier to just use the installation media

amber harbor
#

aight , imma try tommorow or something

#

i'll keep this post up

chilly jewel
#

you already know how to mount everything and chroot?

amber harbor
#

i'm a bit tired to go thru the installer again

#

i think so

#

i have the indications of a person

chilly jewel
amber harbor
#

oh?

chilly jewel
#

you just need to boot from the usb and insert a bunch of commands

amber harbor
#

eh , i'll try tommorow tbh

#

if you're available tmmrw

chilly jewel
#

i guess i will be?

amber harbor
#

anyway , thanks for helping me

#

i have hope tommorow it will work

chilly jewel
#

it's fine, i didn't end up doing much in the end

amber harbor
#

yeah but u took your time to help me , appreciate it

#

btw does posts like mine delete after a while?

#

like in 24hrs or something?

chilly jewel
#

don't think so

amber harbor
#

okay , ty

chilly jewel
#

imma just write down a quick guide on what to do, should be enough

amber harbor
#

nice

#

i will do it tommorow im exhausted lol

chilly jewel
#
  • boot from USB
  • enter mkdir /mnt, if it says it already exists dw i just don't remember if it's there already, so this would create it
  • fdisk -l, find the name of your linux partition (maybe by checking the actual size)
  • mount {name of the partion} /mnt
  • arch-chroot /mnt
    then you can install networkmanager and xterm by running sudo pacman -S networkmanager xterm
    should be enough. reboot
amber harbor
#

thanks man

#

will do later

chilly jewel
#

is this solved?

amber harbor
#

Nope.

#

I did get network manager to work

#

installed both dhcpcd and networkmanager
