Please translate this into Manjaro/arch for me

if secure boot has nothing to do with the Chinese usb wifi dongle im really fooked here… although… i dont mind using ethernet though if you guys arent capable of helping… no harm really… im grateful for helping me to this junction…

We only can help you help yourself. As i said - no reading is a bad strategy in using any linux let alone manjaro.

im french-Canadian… no matter how well you think im using English…im really struggling

Which driver do you need to install? With Manjaro, you can’t use secure boot. So, you can skip this step altogether and continue with the next step.

If driver for USB Wifi dongle is not supported by Manjaro, I suggest using driver from AUR with kernel v6.1

$ pamac info 8188fu-supremegamers-dkms-git
Name                  : 8188fu-supremegamers-dkms-git
Version               : r120.40d4a49-1
Description           : Kernel driver module for Realtek RTL8188FU and RTL8188FTV Wireless 802.11n USB 2.0 adapters
                        (device id 0bda:f179), for kernel versions 6.0 and 6.1
URL                   : https://github.com/supremegamers/rtl8188fu

Install dkms from Manjaro repository and build AUR driver

pamac install dkms; pamac build 8188fu-supremegamers-dkms-git

reboot and check if driver is loaded in ìnxi -Na

(If anything is not quite right in this suggestion others in this discussion may follow Cunningham’s Law)

Bonne chance et à bientôt

No it’s okay, I’ll stick with Ethernet until I have my MSI gf65 shipped to me here (I kind of moved out of the greatest country on earth) to the Philippines

sudo pacman -Syu git base-devel dkms $(ls /boot | awk -F "-" '/^linux/ { print $1"-headers" }') && pamac build 8188fu-supremegamers-dkms-git

Anglais:
If the assumption above about the driver is correct … that should be the one line needed.
(and reboot)

~ Francais (excuze-moi :frowning:):
Si l’hypothèse concernant le package est correcte… cela devrait être la seule ligne nécessaire.
(et redémarrer)

thank you for your attempt but Quebec french has been bastardized for over 400 years… the language spoken there is called joual

I know this to be so, but havent had the opportunity to test just how different it may be.
Glad everything is working out for you though. Cheers, bonne chance.

That awk snippet is ‘beaucoup mangifique’ optimal solution for any user :sunglasses:

Merci mon homme
