Yes but according this[1] forum thread, rtl8xxxu should be blacklisted 
to make 8192eu to work, yet I don't find rtl8xxxu on my system.

This line above is my Wi-Fi adapter.

I followed this wiki, but my adapter is still not showing in the output 
of command "ip link".

What I did was installing the this[1] aur package, then manually insert 
the module into the kernel.

[arch-general] TP-link tl-wn823n v2.0 wifi dongle not working

2019-12-24 Thread Tim Ye via arch-general
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to make tl-wn823n v2.0 work on arch linux.  I followed the 
this[1] guide.

I was able to install the driver:

$ lsmod | grep 8192
8192eu   1544192  0
cfg80211  851968  1 8192eu
vmw_vmci   81920  0

$ dmesg | grep 8192
[  290.144747] usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8192eu

$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate 
Matching Hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 17ef:608c Lenovo
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:a192 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate 
Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 18f8:1485 [Maxxter] USB OPTICAL MOUSE
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

but I still can see my adapter in "ip addr".

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Ok, "ban" is the wrong term, it should read "block". English isn't my
native language, so this could happen.

However, I helped the OP, I apologized and I can repeat it: My apologies
for the harsh ironical wording.

It's fine.  I didn't take it personally.

Re: [arch-general] Hibernation not working

2017-01-05 Thread Tim Ye via arch-general

I read a web page sometime ago says these would work:

 - put your computer into "sleep" (to RAM):
   $ sudo su -c 'echo "mem" > /sys/power/state'
 - put your computer into "hibernate" (to disk):
   $ sudo su -c 'echo "disk" > /sys/power/state'

I just tried both, but "hibernate" doesn't work on my Archlinux but 
works on Debian (with an older kernel) on my laptop.

Some time ago, when I closed my laptop, Linux automatically 
hibernated, now it does not. As my laptop becomes really warm and I 
don't want to stress my display, I'm using this rarely, so I cannot 
tell, since when hibernation doesn't work :-/

That was excessive, Ralf. Arch may be a DIY distro, but that doesn't mean
we should humiliate and belittle people who don't already know everything
about the system.

Tim: I'm sorry you got that response. A "group" in pacman is an alias for a
bunch of packages, you install it just as if the group was an ordinary
package.

Thanks for the help and thank you for saying that. :)

Actually there was typo of the command I issued, then I thought I missed 
something thus started this thread.

Actually I shouldn't have replied to your request and instead ban your
email address.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/pacman#Installing_package_groups

You already were reading the Wiki and needed to ask this question, while
your chosen distro is Arch Linux, not Ubuntu?

More information about handling groups could be found by

  $ man pacman | grep group
