I just bought/built a new machine with the following…
MOBO - ASUS ROG Strix x870E-E Wifi
CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 7900x
GPU - AsRock Radeon 7900 xt
When booting into the Manjaro Live USB, it does not find either the copper ethernet adapter or the WiFi adapter.
Any guidance for me?
I am guessing I can do an offline install and perhaps find a way to update the kernel afterward?
Thank you.
Hi @oe36
An incompatibility is always possible; but it’s difficult for anyone to help without more information from you.
Perhaps the ISO has damage. Did you verify it against the checksum provided on the download page?

I don’t think the ethernet adapters on this mobo are supported yet based on some linux hardware databased I checked on line so I ran to our local Best Buy and bought a USB to ethernet dongle which the kernel recognized immediately and I was able to fully update the system and access repos.
My next issue was audio was not working and this shocked me (no pun intended as you read on) as the audio chipset was supposed to be very compatible. I had a USB dongle for my Shokz headphones which was conflicting. Removed the dongle and all was well.
My only remaining semi-major issue is after the machine POSTs it boots directly into Manjaro rather than showing the GRUB menu and letting me select which OS to boot into (I have another linux distro on a 2nd nvme drive which GRUB clearly detects when I run sudo update-grub), but GRUB just never shows up on boot.
If anyone has any thoughts, I’m all ears. I’m not used to a machine this new 
Thanks again!
A simple setting in /etc/default/grub should make the Grub menu visible by default.
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Change the GRUB_TIMEOUT= line to 5 (or whatever suits). The menu will show for that amount of time and then continue booting, unless interrupted by a keypress.
Reboot after modifying the file.
Here are the first few lines of mine as an example:
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Manjaro"
Regards.
My /etc/default/grub file is slightly different to the one posted above:
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_TIMEOUT=15
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=“Manjaro”
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
I prefer to see the Grub menu every time I boot, as I often switch between the latest stable & the newest RC kernel. 15 seconds gives me plenty of time to select the 2nd menu option, which takes me to the list of all installed kernels so I can select a different one to boot into.
Thanks guys! I needed to change the STYLE to “menu” and the TIMEOUT to 15.
I’ll need to learn a bit more about GRUB. I have other machines where STYLE is “hidden” and the menu still shows up, but changing it to menu absolutely fixed it on this new machine. My display seems to take a little time to warm up as well so kicking the timeout to 15 was also useful. When the display has come alive I’ve seen anywhere from 14 to 9 seconds remaining on the countdown timer so both of these changes were very helpful. Thank you again.
The last problem I had which I resolved was I installed EndeavourOS on my send m.2 drive and when I did sudo update-grub on Manjaro, it was still not generating a GRUB entry for Endeavour even though osProber was finding Endeavour successfully. When installing Endeavour, there is an option to use either systemd bootloader or GRUB on the 2nd drive. When I was using systemd, GRUB on Manjaro would see it, but not add it to the menu. I just reinstalled with GRUB on the 2nd drive and then Manjaro found it and included it.
This machine has five Gen4 m.2 nvme drives. I built it for testing distros and finding ways to contibute to the Linux community, though at this point I absolutely consider Manjaro to be my daily driver. I absolutely love it. It is so polished and so well put together! Great job team!!!
And thanks again for your help!
