ethernet is plugged in and arch installer doesn't detect it [SOLVED]

[sour eagle]

Nah that's even worse

It doesn't even detect your network adapter

[lilac marsh]

God I hate that goddamn dell motherboard

[sour eagle]

Lmao

I can suggest a solution though

[lilac marsh]

Would be appreciated

[sour eagle]

Plug your phone to the computer with a usb

Just do as I say

[lilac marsh]

There's not enough usb ports that's it I'm throwing it away

[sour eagle]

Ok lol

Wait how many ports?

[lilac marsh]

There's 4 but 2 are dead and usb 2

I found it on the side of the road

[sour eagle]

Okay for your keyboard

And one for your phone

[lilac marsh]

The usb

For arch itself

[sour eagle]

Oh

I forgor

[lilac marsh]

Thanks for the help this system is cursed

[sour eagle]

I have a crazy idea

[lilac marsh]

Yeah?

[sour eagle]

When it's time to pacstrap right

Make it sleep for 10 seconds and then unplug your keyboard and plug your phone turn on usb tethering on your phone

Profit

[lilac marsh]

Genius

[sour eagle]

[lilac marsh]

I'm gonna do that

[sour eagle]

A nice reminder, just make pacman agree to it automatically

(forgot the option)

--yes I think?

[lilac marsh]

Ok btw how do I put the phone on usb tethering

[sour eagle]

There's an option for it in the connections category

Mine's there

[lilac marsh]

Found it this piece of trash dell is gonna work

[sour eagle]

Hohoho I hope it will

btw usb tethering works with wifi too btw

[lilac marsh]

It works

[sour eagle]

Holy shit

It worked

I'm truly a genius

[lilac marsh]

You are indeed a genius

[sour eagle]

Btw after all of that is finished you should install all the firmwares and drivers for your network cards

[lilac marsh]

I honestly don't know what card it is it's an integrated ethernet port from a mystery school dell optiplex

[sour eagle]

Yeah you should do lspci to identify it

[lilac marsh]

Yeah I'll figure it out probably

[sour eagle]

[lilac marsh]

Thanks for the help

[sour eagle]

No problem man

Glad I could help

[lilac marsh]

How do you close a thread btw?

Or is it automatic

[sour eagle]

You don't

Just leave it

Someone could take ideas from this thread

[lilac marsh]
