how to install - rtl8192eu: wireless usb 2.0 adapter driver archlinux?

id98350 · 2022-09-03 18:43:59

This is what happened to me:
downloaded a system image from your site
booted into the installer, when trying to install the system requires a network connection.
- since I do not have a network, what did I think of?
-- install the driver for your adapter from github
downloaded it, unpacked it
when trying to compile from a live uisb, it says that there are not enough dependencies for basic development, dkms, and so on
asks - want to install?
I'm waiting for yes
the system tells me "not enough disk space"
- How to fix it? (this is on a virtual machine, on a real machine, the network does not catch at all)

I think he complains about the size of the live uisb (boot ISO file) from which I install the system!
I do not have a wired network connection, only through an adapter!
(but I can download all necessary packages for offline installation)

short:
Problem with installing the system, requires a network connection
when trying to build the driver, it complains - there are no dependencies for building the driver (base-devel)
and if you try to install all the packages, writes: there is not enough disk space!
and the problem is definitely not in usb
I have a lot of space on the flash card and on the hdd

"how to increase live disk space? just to install base-devel" ?

1 - Don't try and build the package directly from Github, you should use the AUR package instead.

2 - The live environment uses a tmpfs which defaults to half of your RAM. To increase this see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Tmpfs

3 - VM's don't usually have access to or use your wireless adapter, instead they use a virtual bridged connection which should appear as a standard wired connection.

As Slithery points out, the VM is just that -- a virtual machine, The virtual machine has virtual peripherals -- including virtual network interfaces. Those virtual interfaces connect to the real world through bridges that can talk to both the host's NIC cards.

Check the output of if link. I bet there is a wired network. Just start dhcpcd and you should be golden.

The problem happens on a real machine.

I downloaded the driver for my adapter from the github site, unzipped it in another operating system.
Next step > boot to a usb drive that has archlinux on it
Step number two: trying to install > requires a network connection.
Me: I don't have a wired network connection; (
Only a usb adapter through which I can connect to the Wi-Fi network
what is my next step? 3> install the driver on your adapter
4> trying to install all dependencies and packages using the "offline, offline" method tells me:
you don't have disk space (to install all dependencies)
5 > I'm stuck, don't know what to do

I used one command, in a directory, on another medium:
sudo pacman -U *.zst

This command, on the installed system, should install all the packages that I downloaded in advance - dependencies> base-devel > make > gcc > pahole > dkms > kernel headers

command stuck on "not enough space" message
- the problem is not in the RAM (maybe), I have 4GB of it
arch iso size is less than 1gb
yes, and I kind of booted without the option - copytoram

tell me how to solve my problem?
I don't think my problem is unsolvable.
after all, "you just need" to install the packages in order to assemble the driver for the network adapter - RTL8192EU

Why not install Arch in a virtualbox VM. Build one of the rtl8192eu packages from AUR in the VM then move that package across?
Edit:
Also what was the failure with the kernel supplied rtl8xxxu module?

Stop stop stop?
Can I compile in any other arch distribution? and then, in this arch distribution, install the assembled package from the "terminal"?! and no dependencies needed? Is that really how it works???
- need to try! I just have one package - rtl8192eu.ko.zst
its need just pacman -U ?

Although, it seems, some dependencies are needed, right?
Is it possible to somehow "increase the space?" (so that there is free space on live usb about 1GB)

I do not know why, but the standard driver does not work in 99% of cases
so I definitely need to compile the driver (
I have not tried to use the default driver anywhere, but almost always, it does not work! (maybe my adapter is just new)

I'm just inexperienced, so maybe I don't understand something, or I don't know

Do you have a smartphone that can access your wifi?
If so you can just plug it in to your machine and it will appear as a wired connection - meaning you can complete the installation easily and then build the driver you need once you have a working setup.

id98350 · 2022-09-04 15:10:45

again says, need DEPENCY files, to install rtl8192eu driver (not make, just install package

give two screenshot:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/18bugIl … sp=sharing

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MTkCZS … sp=sharing

pacman used " / ' to install packages
i think " / " on iso archlinux file (on usb-card)

help install driver? : (
what i do wrong?

i have phone, but, NOT have cellular traffic.
only wi-fi

just need fix " FREE space storage " , cant installing much files(((

You don't need cellular traffic.
Just connect the phone to your wifi network and then plug it into your computer with a cable. It should then appear as a wired ethernet device.

If you want to use that method instead of just tethering your phone then I gave you a link telling you what to do in post #2.

I have an iphone, ios
Should this work too?
just plug your device into the usb port when the iphone is connected to a wifi network?
Can you give detailed instructions? (if required)
I'm installing archlinux for the first time, I don't know how to use the terminal very well.

What is my procedure if I want to use an iPhone connected to a Wi-Fi network as an "Internet" machine to install ArchLinux?
1) here I connected it to the computer
2) ?
3) ?
4) ?
?) ?
what commands, if necessary, to enter into the terminal?
I apologize if I ask too primitive questions
I'm just a really new user who decided to install the distribution kit he liked - archlinux
this is the first problem i am stuck on

- okay, I'll try the method you suggest, if it doesn't work through the phone
give instructions? step by step, in detail? how about for a beginner?

ewaller · 2022-09-04 18:04:02

It should work with an iThing. Boot your system (perhaps to install media). Connect your phone to your system and put the phone into USB tether mode. I cannot help, I own no iThings.

Look with lsblk to see if a network interface is instantiated. You might check that output prior to and after connecting the phone and comparing the output to determine that a new NIC is indeed created.
If it is, just run dhcpcd to get an IP address. You can verify that happens with ip addr. Give it a few moments to get an address.

Be advised, asking for 'step-by-step' instructions will not earn you any points here. We simply don't do that. We will spend significant effort helping you learn; we won't lead you by the nose.

phone method too not work.. ; (
i installed - libimobiledevice-1.3.0-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
its too not help.. but, " pair success "
i try this:

2 - The live environment uses a tmpfs which defaults to half of your RAM. To increase this see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Tmpfs

maybe i can build base-devel on live-system, in /
