Having problem setting up Network. Install went fine. Comes up without connection.

Welcome to the EndeavourOS forum. I hope you enjoy your time here.

I changed the category of your Topic to “'ARM - Installation”.

Are you trying to set up an Ethernet connection or a WiFi connection ?

For an Ethernet connection, list the output of

 systemctl status NetworkManager

gives you.

Also, what is the output of

ip addr

look like.
That should give us a start on where to look.

If it is not a problem, could you share the output here.

Drag your mouse cursor to highlight the output, then click ‘Copy’
When composing your post, at the upper right is a Gear icon, click on it then click on
‘Hide Details’.

[details="Summary"]
This text will be hidden
[/details]

Space out the line “This text will be hidden” then paste your output between the two bracketed lines. Then to make things easier, change [details=“Summary”] to something like [details=“NetworkManager output”]

NetworkManager output

The main thing we are looking for is something like

Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service; enabled; preset: disabled)
Active: active (running) since Sun 2023-02-19 11:37:55 MST; 4h 56min ago

Saying NetworkManager is enabled and is active (running)

Do the same for the output of

ip addr

Having problems w. cutting/pasting on PbP. Cutting/Pasting not an option. Will have to type in.

Am on the “EndeavourOS ARM installer” Page. I select Install Community Editions and I get
Calamares “The system is not connected to the internet.”

used this link for the build:
https://github.com/endeavouros-arm/images/releases

I wonder if the one who released this image didn’t include a WiFi hook-up?

sradjoker · February 20, 2023, 5:23pm

The wifi drivers for the latest pbp are in the linux-firmware package. We also include the wifi driver for older firmware.

You are the first user having problems with network connection with our pbp images. We have not seen any issues so far.

How are you trying to connect to wifi? The network manager applet is given in the bottom right panel. Use that to connect to wifi

iwm · February 20, 2023, 5:30pm

The only icon in the bottom right corner is the network manager. I select it and VPN prompt comes up. Do I need a VPN? No sign of the WiFi manager.

sradjoker · February 20, 2023, 5:32pm

what happens when you right click?
Do you see something like this?

iwm · February 20, 2023, 5:35pm

How do I R. click? Using pad on PbP (2 fingers don’t work).

sradjoker · February 20, 2023, 5:43pm

hit (not tap) the right bottom part of the pad

iwm · February 20, 2023, 7:24pm

Didn’t work. Hooked mouse up to USB… working now.
R.Clicked on Network and get “Edit Connections”
“Chose a Connection Type”
Wi-Fi
“Editing Wi-Fi connection 1”
SSID ??
Mode ??
Band: Automatic
Channel: ??
BSSID: ??
Device: ??
Cloned MAC Address: ??
MTU: automatic

How do I get this info? I am not a System Admin.

Found SSID on the modem. Will find the rest eventually

Did work…I wasn’t tapping low enough…needed to tap almost on bezel.

iwm · February 28, 2023, 7:53pm

Got it to work…modem was the problem. Had to buy a new modem and it hooked right in to the Wi-Fi.

Thanks for all your help and putting up with me!

I am off to setting up the EndeavourOS. Really looking good.
