yeah no fuck off buddy.
>arch linux
It's a meme you idiot
>arch
found your problem
how is it a meme if it's supposed to be super simplistic? if i can't even run wifi-menu how the FUCK can a more complex distribution manage it? you can't automate it more than what i did.
out of all the distros I've tried over the years, arch is the only one that has worked non-stop for over a year without shitting itself after every update or just ranomly borking itself
>Taking anything that Sup Forums says to heart
You're new here, aren't you?
Cool story bro
lel I wonder who fell for the troll. Oh wait
Ur mum is a meme :D
t. archbaby in denial
>a fucking leaf
We didnt berate you faggot.
Disable and stop everything.
Delete any network profile you made.
go though wifi-menu again like I told you the last two days.
the day of the rake is coming soon.
>disable and stop everything
great now nothing works! woooooooooooow
well what did you disable exactly? We are talking about networking stuff here, if you disabled every systemctl unit there is, thats your own fault and you need to go back to apple.
sudo systemctl disable everything && systemctl stop everything
ok, no just do
sudo systemctl enable&start "just the stuff I need"
i still had dhcpcd disabled
i uninstalled and rebooted networkmanager; netctl is the only thing i have on this shit running.
when you say :"disable and stop everything" i assume you mean netctl at his point, along with deleting my wifi profile, yes?
What a productive operating system
The Apple Macbook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.
how do you delet profiles
well disable them first so your system isnt shit up with refrences to nonexisting files,
whatever you did in [email protected] disable it, then do
sudo netctl list
and then
sudo netctl disable for whatever is there that you enabled..
then go to /etc/netctl
delete the profiles NOT THE DIRECTORYS in this folder.
There is one called examples, this has the templates, you need these.
ok here's what i did
# systemctl stop dhcpcd.service
# systemctl disable dhcpcd.service
# sudo netctl list
#ssid-wlo1
rm /etc/netctl/ssid-wlo1
now what?
what was your original problem?
couldn't update packages.
wifi-menu -o
He was having trouble getting gimp to start in under 3 seconds
also try to hurry with this, Im willing to help but I am going to bed soon.
ok i connected it.
still can't ping 8.8.8.8
fucking weird, see if do have have a way to install anything?
Type netctl list, to get the name of your new profile
Type netctl start *profile name*
then journalctl -xe and netctl@profile name.service
and see if it gives an error there
if that doesnt work,
Try fucking with your wifi switch, rfkill is sometimes binded to the wifi switch, there are two modes with on of state
wifi on
wifi off
rfkill on
rfkill off
the wifi switch on my netbook toggles each of these independently. Wifi needs to be on, rfkill needs to be off. There is an rfkill package to pragmatically turn rfkill off, this was a godsend on my netbook.
>cant update packages
pacmans server list is stored in "/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.
During an update, it will install to /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew
You need to edit mirror list initially to get servers close to you for speed, and when you get a .pacnew file, delete or backup the original, and rename the .pacnew to the orginial files name and edit it accordingly. Some servers are slow as fuck.
Run pacman -syy, then pacman -syu to do database shit and then update.
ok after typing netctl list i get my profile, wlo1-Ogre.
after starting it, this is what journalctl -xe gives.that my device wlo1 acquired a acarrier, rebound a lease, probed the address, and leased out the ip address. it added a route and then some other stuff about a registered authenticiation agent
im not sure how you want me to write out that second command. [email protected]?
i physically switched my wifi on and off and still couldn't ping 8.8.8.8, i could ping localhost though if that helps.
OP is too retarded to use Debian
Only using arch cuz he wants to be a mr robot hacker faggot
>the mod on Sup Forums is an autistic weeb looser piece of shit
>you had no reason to ban me
>the looser mods are the sole reason I dont support this site. You make it literally unusable.
------------
Do you know what your default gateway is suposed to be?
usually its one of 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1, or 10.1.10.1
Open /etc/netctl/wlo1-Ogre and see if anything is off.. the password is going to be encrypted so dont think that is the issue.
Also, if I use an ip that is out of my routers assigne range, (I have it set for 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.99), say if I use 192.168.0.115, I can ping in the local network but I cant ping anything from the wan, all outside communication is blocked.
What you just said reminded me of that.
Can you plug into ethernet and enable dhcpcd.service, install a package called rfkill
Then run rfkill list
It will say hard block yes/no and softblock yes/no
hard is the wifi switch,
soft is rfkill
If I dont post back the loosers got me again even though I didnu nuffin(literally)
yeah my gateway is 192.168.0.1
ip=dhcpcd, is that causing problems?
ill install rfkill
oh shit i don't think i can get my ethernet connected due to deleting networkmanager. what do?
if you can't setup a simple wifi connection you should probably kys. I was able to setup ethernet, wifi and and a network bridge for qemu on a remote gentoo box without fucking it up.
explain how i fucked it up if you're such a euphoric being. i have clarified every single step i've taken. unless you can point out a flaw you can take your meme install and shove it up your ass.
do you know anything about having multiple vms on a bridged connection?
Do I just use the same bridge for all of them? They get the same lan ip.. doesnt seem right.
You're full of shit. Also Debian stable
ip should say dhcp, not dhcpcd.
If this doesnt work Im not sure what to tell you, how old is the iso you installed from and why would you delete network manager, where did that come from anyway does this come with arch or did you install it extra?
sorry it did say dhcp
few weeks old, networkmanager wasn't really helping me and i wanted to simplify my system (netctl was built into systemd afaik). it came from me trying to see if it was a netctl issue, and i installed it myself.
i really don't wanna drop this, i just got i3 to look the way i wanted. my font is even aliasing just right.
this is what i have for the route table
default via 192.168.0.1 dev wlo1 srv 192.168.0.`00 metric303
192.168.0.0/24 dev wlo1 proto kernel scope link srv 192.168.0.100 metric 303
is this the range you were referring to?
It seems like something got seriously broken somewhere along the way. Just put everything back to how you had it, and fix your mirror list.
protip: write down what you do inorder to recreate your perfect desktop settings.
good luck
ps, they got me again so I cant reply for the rest of the night
if using qemu you need to setup a new tap device for each vm (tap0,tap1..) the bridge device has the gost ip and each vm gets it's own ip from the router via the tap device. i'm in mobile at the gym so just look it up.
Just use networkmanager you fucking mongloid.
systemd networkmanager and virt-manager will do that for you.
Why do it all manually?
gost=host
because it's on a server, I don't have X installed, virt-manager is bloat and it's actually nice to understand how it works.
So install X and virt-manager, nothing is stopping you.
if you like virt-manager so much just go back to ununtu you shitlord tripfag.
op here did you even read the thread jesus christ.
I take that back, your own edgyness is stopping you apparently.
fuck off already, not my fault if you're too retarded to setup a network bridge and a qemu vm without babby's virt-manager. go on install fedora or noobuntu, nothing is stopping you and you can always alias screenfetch to screenfetch -D gentoo but maybe that's too complicated for you
Amazing thread
You know that Arch users are only trolling.
Arch is a technical support simulator. The whole point of the simplicity is to make the diagnosis faster WHEN something breaks. Other more complex distros try to avoid that it breaks all the time.
