[next fox]

@vast swan 👍

[vast swan]

Just a quick heads-up for other people that might help:

We already tried changing the emulated network device - no luck so far

[next fox]

also it worked yesterday

the internet

today it just doesnt

yesterday i had touched nothing ab the internet

i just created the vm

[vast swan]

Did you do any updates on the host?

Or the guest?

[next fox]

i installed arfch

archj

[vast swan]

And your host was not on arch yesterday?

[next fox]

oh host sry

no update on host

also this morning i couldnt start the vm at all

it says network thing

so i asked llm and it made me do this:

sudo virsh net-define default

then i could start it

[vast swan]

Well, you shouldn't execute commands you get from a LLM, ESPECIALLY not ones that are prefixed with, or need to be prefixed with sudo to execute successfully without doing your own research on exactly what the command does

[next fox]

woopsie xd

[vast swan]

Luckily this time it didn't recommend something disastrous

[next fox]

well what ab it

[vast swan]

It's fine, it just created a default virtual network device for use with lib-virt
Weird that it was missing in the first place

[next fox]

yeah idfk anymore

i just want the internet lmfao

also why would it work yesterday and not today

[vast swan]

Honestly that's a mystery to me

[next fox]

yo lumi to the resque

[grim oyster]

Did you install "qemu-full"

[next fox]

no

[grim oyster]

try that perhaps-? 😭

I'm not sure

[next fox]

why bro

[grim oyster]

I usually install qemu-full

I mean mine works fine

[next fox]

yeah but

it worked yesterday u see

[next fox]

so it must be some setting config smth

[vast swan]

Please install virtio guest additions into your guest OS

Like I asked you here for example:

[next fox]

whats the actual name?

[fading wagon]

the only thing they installed in the vm was base linux linux-headers my guess is that dhcp isnt included, hence the network doesnt work (because vms typically use an ethernet connection

try installing one of these: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration#Network_managers

remember to look for ethernet support

[next fox]

i cant

i have no internet

[fading wagon]

archiso, mount the partitions, chroot and then you should be free to use pacman to install it and set up the connection

[next fox]

why do i need to mount boot?

[fading wagon]

its always suggested to mount the critical partitions

vda2 should be mounted to /mt and vda1 to /mnt/boot

[next fox]

i installed kde and sddm is that enough

it should include for network i think

plasma network manager

[fading wagon]

output of pacman -Q networkmanager?

[next fox]

im actually having a problem

i insert the password in the login manager and it prompts back to it

it do accept the password tho

i think its a tty changing issue

[next fox]

ami not supposed to use a login manager?

[fading wagon]

you need to have one

[next fox]

it cant change tty

i think at least

[fading wagon]

try rebooting the vm or change manually

[next fox]

change what

[fading wagon]

chabge tty manually

[next fox]

i dont think i can

it does it on my host

[fading wagon]

ah. right. there should be a button somewhere in the window that allows you to give the keyboard entirely to virtual manager when its focused

[next fox]

?

[fading wagon]

the qemu/kvm window should have a button that allows focusing all keybinds to the vm instead

[next fox]

i dont see it

[fading wagon]

probably in the ribbon menus somewhere

[next fox]

ok i found

yeah it doesnt work

kde doesnt start properly

[next fox]

@fading wagon

hi

im bac

back

[sick palm]

do you have nic passthrough

if so try ethernet

otherwise try disconnecting your baremetal machine from wifi or turning it off, then attempting to reload the vm to see if it shows

[next fox]

what is it?

[next fox]

its lan
