I am having the same problem as this guy , but I dont have pihole or anything, just a regular system with a modem. This is my "lspci -k | grep -PiA4 " network controller: | ethernet controller: " output
I have noticed that firefox takes some time to display any webpage. I have opened multiple tabs on firefox, and all of them keep me waiting before showing up simultaneously. Can someone help me? I have already formatted my partitions and am stuck here.
Edit : This is from the installation terminal after selecting the partitions and clicking next.
Maybe this will help; do the offline installation first, then if still no go on the network, follow these steps. R8168 is annoyingly inconsistent for me on my Asus Rog Strix laptop too.
Installed os through the offline mode, manually installed the 8168 package from arch website (mirrors kept timing out), rebooted and the network has stopped working. There is no network connection
Do the inverse remove the r8168 package and reboot and tell us if it works ?
The hardware problem comes from Realtek firmware. Some hardware takes only r8168 likes my old Linksys which is wrongly detected as r8169 by default but some others r8168 works with the r8169 driver…
if this was out of Installer Live Environment it looks like that you need to use the
r8168
module to me.
so change it on live ISO to this one: sudo pacman -S r8168 sudo rmmod r8169 sudo modprobe r8168 sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
then start installer
Is there any difference between installing it after an offline installation or via the live iso?
Coz I did install the r8168 package after an offline installation, only to see an empty network connection list. I had to remove it in order to get my network working.
Another fault in the drivers for some revisions of this adapter is poor IPv6 support. IPv6#Disable functionality can be helpful if you encounter issues such as hanging webpages and slow speeds.
I gave “ipv6.disable=1” as a kernel parameter and the system works perfectly.
So, how do I do this in the live iso? Do the same when the boot menu comes up?
so we got the wrong direction, because this modules are known for issues. On live ISO you can also disable ipv6 in network settings, then disable and enable network.
