[SOLVED] Command related to wireless setup not found (ifconfig, iwctl)

Lostb053 · 2022-07-09 05:13:38

Hello,

I'm a total newbie interested in exploring arch. I do have some experience with easy arch-install distros. Yesterday i tried installing arch (dual boot alongside win 11), it booted up but it won't connect to internet. Like i just can't invoke iwctl command. Also, since i haven't yet installed any desktop environment, i am not sure how to paste the logs either.
Glad to get guidance from any of the experienced arch users

The wiki is your friend

But it gives error

-bash: iwctl: command not found

I tried following wiki
- Installation > no internet connection to fetch packages
- Start service > Unit iwd.service could not be found

And the error i gave earlier, all adding upto me being confused, what should i do, or what did I do wrong

Start here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide and follow the instructions step by step. Section 1.7 asks you to connect to the internet.

That i did, worked
Didn't work after exiting and booting into the system

I'm really sorry i didn't include the information that I'm trying dual boot alongside windows
Will edit 1st post

-bash: iwctl: command not found

means you didn't install iwd.
Also post the outputs of

lspci -k; ip a

As for the dual-boot, see the 3rd link below, mandatory.

I just realized that i had not installed it during arch-root while installing. I re-initiated installation, and installed necessary packages. It seems to work now

Ohh, so that's how you mark it solved, I've been trying to find a button to mark it resolved.
