No wifi is showing in arch and I was dumb.

[swift raptor]

So I had a smart idea to install arch with no knowledge of coding now I need help and my USB isn’t showing in the boot menu. I have a Gemini lake network manager card and a Vivobook. I tried everything and recently I deleted Linux LTS for some reason (I had normal Linux). I updated grubb (I think it’s called) and now I can’t get network manager from Pacman. My usb is completely wiped of arch too. The nmtui says I have no network cards. I do before I think and now I feel stupid.

~~You forgot to install network manager didn’t you?

It’s okay, I got hit with that one once too.

oh, I re-read this and saw you had working internet before. Mb.

can you open a terminal and run pacman -Qs networkmanager

local/libnm 1.52.0-1
NetworkManager client library
local/libnma-common 1.10.6-3
NetworkManager GUI client library (common files)
local/libnma-gtk4 1.10.6-3
NetworkManager GUI client library (GTK4)
local/networkmanager 1.52.0-1
etwork connection manager and user application:

So you still have network manager so that’s good. What kernel are you on? Can you run uname -r

you don't need to be a programmer to install arch

.s litany

[brisk bear]

Please follow the Standard Litany when asking a question:
• What was your environment? What was your operating system, configuration?
• What did you do? What did you run or test? Where?
• What actually happened? What were the exact results, complete log contents, exact error messages?
• What did you expect? What were you aiming to achieve? What result were you looking for?

Vague or superficial questions will yield vague or superficial answers. False information leads to false solutions.

if you screwed it up, chroot from a ventoy usb with arch iso and fix it

[proper grove]

He broke his only way of making an iso if I’m looking at this right

[jovial phoenix]

anyways, this may come handy

... chroot

... chroot

ik it says endeavourOS, but it also applies to arch

[swift raptor]

Alright, I’ll look into this.

[jovial phoenix]

once you chroot, you can fix your issues, even reinstalling your kernel

tldr, make a new ventoy usb with arch iso, then boot to it, chroot and reinstall any missing package

you will need another PC tho

[swift raptor]

I’ll see what I can do.

[swift raptor]

Well, my usb isn’t working right now. It’s not showing in the boot menu. I tried to download balena etcher and another Linux earlier.
