No Wifi Adapter found

Hello, i’ve got a problem.

I get the message No Wi-Fi Adapter Found, and don’t know how to solve it

How can I solve this problem ?

Thanks in advance !!!

Hello, thanks for replying. The problem is that when I paste the content of the terminal, it doesn’t accept to be sent. It says “you aren’t allowed to post links” So I cant post what you ask…

I’m sorry, but how do I solve this other problem ?

Even with preformatting?

Sorry, I confused ’ with `. So here’s the information you asked.

Thanks for helping me.

Try installing the Broadcom STA wireless driver from thew community repository:

pamac install broadcom-wl-dkms

Note: I have no idea if this’ll work, just a random thought based on a search result

Thanks for helping, but it didn’t work. It gives me this output (it’s only the last line because there’s hundreds of failure lines for each thing he wanted to download but didn’t find)

Error: Failed to commit transaction: failed to retrieve some files

Thanks for helping.

Apologies.

I made a mistake, which I’ve corrected. I used build when I should’ve used install. And it seems to have worked for me, so there must an internet connectivity issue.

Edit:

Make sure the computer has a temporary connection to the internet before attempting the installation. If it doesn’t work, report back with the full output from the terminal.

When I use Install instead of build it says this :

Preparing...
Waiting for another package manager to quit...
Transaction cancelled: Timeout expired.

I thought you might find this interesting :thinking:

And of course I had a wired connexion with all my attempts of doing what you suggested :wink:
I’m communicating with you via my computer after all.

It could have been a pone or tablet, so I just made sure.

That makes it sound like there is some other pamac running somewhere.

If you’re absolutely sure there isn’t, delete the lock file,

sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck

Or reboot, and try again.

I only know of one package manager being installed on my computer. But why do I have to delete my package manager ? Sorry to ask…

It’s not the package manager itself. It’s just a lock file, stopping the same application from simultaneously performing two actions and causing issues that way.

ok, thanks. I’ll do it, and then retry to install it with the install command.

Here’s the output. Is it worth it to apply the transaction even though it said that everything is unknown? Every time I did it with the build command, it still failed.

Apply transaction ? [y/N] ^C

I’ll do it and post the output

Here’s the output. I believe it somehow succeeded… But I don’t understand what just happened…

Yes, that looks correct. Well, at least to me.

And of those packages it needs to download to install is once-off. If you’ve got it, you’ve got it. Except for updates, of course. And you’ll need them at some stage anyway. Or most people do.

I just posted the output a second before you answered my previous message.

Because it tries to install a dkms module, it needs the kernel headers, which aren’t installed.

I see you have kernel version 5.15:

So install the headers for it:

pamac install linux515-headers

And then try the previous install again.

Did it, and now he says that the previous install was already done. Here’s output :

What do I do next ?

Hold your thumbs, cross your heart, and reboot to see if it works.
