Wifi wont connect :(

hello computer people! so yesterday i decided to try out linux (garuda) for the first time. my problem is that everytime i try to connect to wifi, the process cancels after like 1min and it just says the connection is deactivated. i would be very happy if someone could help me. i can also provide additional information if needed :slight_smile:

ok so since im not connected to wifi on my desktop, the best i can do is a picture of my screen but as i just found out i am not allowed yet to post images in this forum. so no inxi possible i guess. + i already tried finding a solution for my problem but it didnt work yet. thanks for the help though

Did you try or can you use tethering, but it works for 1 min. :slight_smile:

Please no pictures from terminal and system settings.
Images can be read worse, are not searchable and copyable for further search.

unfortunately not (cant connect a cable) im in a bad place it seems.

Pictures consumes considerably more data volume then text. Connect the phone to the PC and copy the terminal text to it.

You have no USB C or A cable?
How do you charge your smartphone battery?

i am still working on transfering the .txt on my iphone as in being able to actually send it to you

im pretty sure i already have the right driver but i couldnt find a way to execute the setup to install it if that makes sense. so how do i actually get the driver to work?

@sethox, I’ve patched an updated driver. This package is orphaned, you can install AUR (en) - rtl8822bu-dkms instead, which includes my patch.

Seems you must wait for our Network specialists.

im crazy confused i cant load the patch bc the file types cant be copied to my usb drive so i cant load it on my desktop. also i dont know how to convert them back to their original form after making them a txt file. so yeeeaah i might be a bit too stupid for linux it appears.

Whats the responce for

journalctl -u NetworkManager | grep wifi

You could try install nmcli with ethernet on
and use it like
nmcli connection modify <Your Wifie> autoconnect no

maybe even restart your NetworkManager
systemctl restart NetworkManager

nmcli radio wifi off
nmcli radio wifi on

I mean, this are just a bunch of commands I would have tried.

  • my wifi adapter seems to work a little bit because it can find all the wifis in my area it just struggles to actually connect

thanks a lot im gonna try these

In my opinion you should try this driver:

sudo pacman -S rtl88x2bu-dkms-git

Afterwards blacklist your current module:

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

And reboot.
If that doesn’t work, delete /etc/modprobe.d/rtw8822bu.conf and remove the package:

sudo pacman -R rtl88x2bu-dkms-git

If rtl88x2bu-dkms-git is not found (maybe removed from Chaotic-AUR)

paru rtl88x2bu-dkms-git

Exit from the PKGBUILD preview with button q and confirm installation.
