Running Endless from USB stick and wifi

#1

I am trying to figure out the best way (for me, of course) to test and run Endless. I put it on a USB stick and when I started with it, I had no access to wifi. If that is the way to usb stick works, then it really does not allow testing Endless, because, after all, if I can’t connect to the internet, I can’t test anything. Any suggestions?

  1. Open the application called ‘Terminal’
  2. In this application run the command: eos-diagnostics
  3. The above command will create a file with the information of your system (example: eos-diagnostic-160614_111731_UTC + 0100.txt); Send us this file so we can analyze and see a possible solution

WHY not simply post an ISO ==== 85% of reports indicate this would facilitate install for all ----Thank you for all your hard work – Ben in El Paso, Texas

Thanks Leandro,

I am sending that file attached. I can connect via cable, but still,
Endless says wifi is unavailable, even though it is working for other
things.

@jjroper, the system reports that your wifi is blocked due to a radio kill switch. Please check if there is any wifi disable or “airplane mode” key on or near the keyboard. Also can you post a screenshot of the wifi menu in Endless, and/or explain in more detail exactly what you mean by “no access to wifi”.

I saw that (in the log file where it says, Apr 16 02:58:28 endless kernel:
iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-7265D-24.ucode
failed with error -2 AND ger[653]: [1492336709.9902] manager: WiFi
now disabled by radio killswitch), but can’t figure out why. In Endless,
there is a wifi switch. On my computer, it simply refuses to be in the on
position. If I click on, it moves and then immediately goes back to off.

I checked the airplane mode and Endless reacts to it correctly - when I hit
the button, Endless shows a symbol for airplane mode. Also, there is no
other user switch for the wifi mode. In windows, the wifi simply works,
while in Endless it doesn’t.

I’m baffled.

Was your eos-diagnostics log taken from after you tried to click on that slider?

I don’t think so. I started up with Endless, and immediately saved the log
file. Then I connected using cable and tested things a bit. With the cable
connected, I also clicked on the wifi slider with the same result.
