  • First off, im installing arch linux on a vm on Virtual Machine Manager on my laptop that is using Linux Mint XFCE, so that I can get used to how to install Arch for real. Also, this vm is running on BIOS.

But anyways, my laptop can’t seem to connect to internet because first off, the device isn’t found. When I checked device list, I couldn’t find a single device, so I would like a solution for how to get my device (enp1s0) to show.

iwctl is for wifi, not wired

Oh

#

But ye i am using it for wifi

#

My laptop doesnt have a ethernet port so its my only option

hot pivot
#

Wired should connect automatically and get an ip

hot pivot
#

and enp is wired

sacred portal
#

Ohh

#

How do i get the wlan0

hot pivot
#

wifi interface is named like wlpXXX

sacred portal
#

Oh

but you shouldn't need to because it's a vm and the internet is "wired" to it

Try this

ip addr add 192.168.122.47/24 dev enp1s0

#

i wonder if there's a bug with dhcp in the archiso right now

sacred portal
#

Ok

hot pivot
#

In the vm

#

sacred portal
#
