Fresh install - system freezes and can't connect to WiFi

Issues & Assistance Networking Support

1

So since Windows started giving me a headache and I’ve tried Garuda before I’ve decided to switch to it completely as standalone OS. My previous experience was fine, everything worked out of the box. Now on my newer PC I have issues with stuttering and freezes and my T4U Plus WiFi adapter doesn’t work (it worked in live USB and on older PC).

System detects internet connection but is stuck in a loop of configuring interface - connection failed. I can try to fix it with GitHub repositories or AUR after I’ll find proper package but I don’t know what to do about these freezes I have. Mouse cursor behaves normally but can’t click anything.

I would update the BIOS first (new version release came out a few days ago) PRIME B450-PLUS - Support

I would also try a different kernel like the LTS kernel, as you mentioned the wifi worked on live USB.

In case you can’t fix your issue with the LTS kernel, in my opinion you could try this driver:

sudo pacman -S rtl88x2bu-dkms-git

Afterwards, you should probably blacklist your current module:

echo "blacklist rtw88_8822bu" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtw8822bu.conf

One issue per topic, please.
Let’s focus only on the network one here.

AUR only:

Pacman can’t find it, Yay can but it can’t build it

==> ERROR: Cannot find the debugedit binary required for including source files in debug packages.
error: failed to build 'rtl88x2bu-dkms-git-5.13.1.r181.2812290-3':
error: packages failed to build: rtl88x2bu-dkms-git-5.13.1.r181.2812290-3

Also LTS kernel didn’t help

Edit

Nvm, managed to get that driver with pamac and looks like it works, I’ve lost 5GHz connection however

Edit 2

Works also on zen kernel, no 5GHz still though

Try disconect the adapter, reboot and connect the adapter again.

Check whether you also have the issue with a x11 session. If so, then create a separate topic for it.

Try disconect the adapter, reboot and connect the adapter again.

Sadly it still doesn’t let me connect to 5GHz network. Stuck on configuring interface - connection failed

8

You got me again :wink:. I was in a hurry as usual and went as usual for a copy and paste from a previous post…

There are quite a few issues upstream where 5G is mentioned.
I hadn’t time to read them, I’ll just reference one. Maybe repeat the search and see if there is some kind of workaround as mentioned here:

Well it just connected now, I don’t know exactly why as I haven’t changed that much with drivers or anything so I’d say the issue has been solved :slight_smile:
