Wifi + other issues

Gyrhaeddant · 2025-05-30 17:12:59

So my mother board decided to fail right during a Pacman syu

After getting my mobo fixed when I booted arch I got an error
file /vmlinuz-linux not found

So I got an iso mounted everything then chrooted into it and did a Pacman syu (used a usb tether to my phone for this)

Now I use a TP link archer T2U Ac600 for which I installed appropriate drivers and used to work
Now but this isn't working

Have some more issues tho

Firefox randomly freezes

Sudo commands take uncessarly long time some times

And some times my waybar just disappears

Any support for any of these issues would be really helpful

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

uname -a
pacman -Qs kernel

and post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

and what driver specifically did you install for that wifi dongle?

did a Pacman syu

sudo LC_ALL=C pacman -Qkk 2>&1 | grep -v ', 0 altered files' | grep -v backup > /tmp/howbadisit.txt
cat /tmp/howbadisit.txt | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Please use [code][/code] tags. Edit your post in this regard.

Unrelated, but

warning: filesystem: /root (Permissions mismatch)

fix that.
Other than that there's no major package issues but for some cursor theme you apparently deleted on disk?)

That driver isn't working
Also just for the sake of somthing maybe being wrong with my system I reinstalled everything and I'm still unable to get the wifi working

The wifi "works" but there's no scan result.
Next to answering the questions about whether this is the relevant nic, which driver you're using and how the other driver "isn't working", stop NM and try to connect manually using wpa_supplican or iwd.
The nic might not like https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … domization so then disable that

Also there're 6 partitions => is there a parallel windows installation?
