@regal tartan

I'm chrooted

[regal tartan]

[regal tartan]

you should have internet access before chroot

oh wait you do mb

[fringe meteor]

Yeah I do

[regal tartan]

so uhhh

did you download the kernel?

[fringe meteor]

Yep

Linux Linux kernel

Just the default

[regal tartan]

ok did you install the bootloader?

[fringe meteor]

Yes

I used systemD

Grub is slow

[regal tartan]

oh for god's sake

systemmd-boot is bad in my opinion

hasn't been time tested

[fringe meteor]

Let's get past that

[regal tartan]

ok what do you need help with

[fringe meteor]

What should I do in chroot

[regal tartan]

if I don't go to sleep in like 10 minutes I might die

[regal tartan]

the final configs

before rebooting

[fringe meteor]

Like what?

[regal tartan]

into the installed os

installing packages

like networkmanager

[fringe meteor]

I'll figure it out on my on you go to sleep g

[regal tartan]

linux-headers

uhhh

nano sudo

yeah goodnight

[somber owl]

do you have network manager installed?

[fringe meteor]

Yeah

[somber owl]

sudo pacman -S networkmanager

[fringe meteor]

Network Manager and hyperland

[somber owl]

you're having issues connecting to a wifi network right?

[fringe meteor]

Yeah

[somber owl]

sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager

[fringe meteor]

But hey no more missing wifi stuff

[somber owl]

sorry i had a trypo in there

[somber owl]

oh, so ig you already have it enabled

[fringe meteor]

Network manager does not exist

uh

What

[somber owl]

can you show me a screen

[somber owl]

right..

try this sudo pacman -S networkmanager

I don't think you have it installed

[fringe meteor]

Failed to install

Oh fuck

[somber owl]

show screen

[somber owl]

this is because you are not connected to the internet to begin with

[fringe meteor]

Do I have to use ethernet?

[somber owl]

somehow, what i used to do is use my phone's mobile network

cuz i have a plan for my phone's sim

card

so if you have that, you could try it

[fringe meteor]

Fuck

Hmm

[somber owl]

normally you install the network manager when you are installing arch from the live usb, when the internet is working, and then enable the network manager then reboot, this way you wouldn't have to do this

I also did this stupid thing lol and had to use USB tethering from my phone

[fringe meteor]

I wanna use wireless so I don't have to put my shit

Wait I can still enter in chroot

Tty

[somber owl]

well then where are you now?

[fringe meteor]

I entered in tty

[somber owl]

screen

[somber owl]

you're chrooted, this is where your terminal normally is, is no different than the one in hyprland

one thing you can do but have to be lil careful

is chroot out

[fringe meteor]

Still don't got wifi

[somber owl]

and then use iwctl

[fringe meteor]

I tried but it said waiting for Iwd to start

[somber owl]

if you can't find a temporary access to iinternet using phone or anything then tell me

we'll chroot out and use iwctl

[fringe meteor]

I do have a USB wifi adapter

[somber owl]

that's because you are using user

[somber owl]

can you connect to the internet using that/

?

[fringe meteor]

It's blinking green

So I think it's connected

[somber owl]

right, so now try sudo pacman -S networkmanager

[somber owl]

if you are connected then this should work

[somber owl]

cute

idk why i looked at the dog, i have never used that device so i wouldn't know tbh

so did this work?

the command ?

[fringe meteor]

@somber owl

[somber owl]

you're still not connected

to the internet

[fringe meteor]

What the fuck is wrong with the wifi

[somber owl]

wait lemme see if we can chroot into root, and then use iwctl, i'll do it on my own machine, i use arch as well

yeah, no didn't work

:((

[fringe meteor]

Awh man

[somber owl]

the iwctl utility must be in the live usb, so that's why one could use it then

[fringe meteor]

So I'm stuck with a fancy wm

[somber owl]

lmao yeah, but can you really not find a temporary source of internet? throug a phone or anything?

[fringe meteor]

Hmm

[regal tartan]

I've did that so many times that now its muscle memory

I have installing arch PTSD

[somber owl]

lmao, i remember i spent the whole day installing arch, went through the whole installation guide, shutdown, remove usb, boot the computer, and guess what. My screen said "install an Operating System". I crawled into my cupboard and wen to sleep so no one can fidn me.

arch was my first ever OS other than windows

i use arch rn, and don't regret anything

[regal tartan]

[somber owl]

[regal tartan]

[somber owl]

[regal tartan]

[regal tartan]

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

[regal tartan]

I remember like it was yesterday of me playing Minecraft bedrock at my windows 10
