hi!

in the installer i need to connect to wifi
but the wifi got spaces in it's name
and even with "WIFI_NAME" it doesn't work...
what to do?

Command I executed:
station wlan0 connect "MY NETWORK NAME WITH SPACE" PASSWORD_WAS_HERE

And yes, I made sure the device name, network name and password is correct. I also typed iwctl in the terminal first and then verified that I am in the correct internet connection terminal.

I got the following output:
Invalid network name 'MY NETWORK NAME WITH SPACE'

#

And when I tried removing the two quotation marks it just counted the first word in the networks full name.

.aw iwd

#

it literally says here how to connect

#

why do people never even bother with the arch wiki

#

if you ask a question without even looking there then good luck using arch, because nobody will be willing to help with your morbillionth question that's already documented there

#

i looked at the wiki and it didn't help btw i think iwctl and iwd is a difference so why would i even look at that

#

and yeah i got it because i fucking used GOOGLE

#

idk blud but when the title of the doc says iwd and the command is iwctl so why would i look at iwd?

outer elbow
#

if you google iwctl it shows the wiki page for iwd

next compass
#

dude whats the problem

#

i already figured it out

#

but i had not much time or wanted to check exactly what to do and search really long for how to solve the problem

#

so i came here

outer elbow
#

It also has this example:

Finally, connect to a network

[iwd]# station device connect SSID

which shows the proper way

next compass
#

but no one responded

#

so i checked google

what is this channel for? #1006743093120352338

outer elbow
#

by asking questions you can easily google you're just wasting people's time and being a help vampire

next compass
#

yeah for support

#

nobody forces you to take your time and answer my question

outer elbow

blud go outside play a game

outer elbow
#

because it's important that you understand you should just google stuff or else you're gonna come back here after not so much time

next compass
#

why do you ruin these moments because of a question in a linux discord server

#

😭

outer elbow
next compass
#

your life moments

#

you could have like fun with friends or sum

#

blud

#

i will still come here if i got questions

#

but yeah i'll also check google

outer elbow
next compass
#

but my priority is this discord because

outer elbow
next compass
#

people explain easily here

#

for normal humans to understand

#

docs mostly explain for droids that hack the nasa

outer elbow
next compass
#

nop

outer elbow
#

you shouldn't expect people to spoonfeed you all the time

next compass
#

i created some threads here already and the people here explained way easier
