NNN = kernel number e.g. 419, 56, 57 etc.

Hope this doesn't break my install but:

1 do the makepkg -si
2 In the directory do sudo pacman -U r8125-dkms-9.003.05-0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

This works:

sudo pacman -U r8125-dkms-9.003.05-0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
Alias tip: _ pacman -U r8125-dkms-9.003.05-0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Now I have to remove it :smiley:

#22

Just one problem: how should I do the second step if the first one doesn't work?

And if I run it it says can't find package 'r8125-dkms-9.003.05-0-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz.zst'

#23

Are you in the directory with th PKGBUILD in?

Run makepkg -si and post the output

#28

if you know how to change the language I can do it but for now it's in german.

[stevie@MainPC EthDrivers]$ makepkg -si

Save this as dkms.conf. Do not know why it is working for me and not for you.

#30

same directory as the other file?
or there:
/usr/src/${_pkgbase}-${pkgver}/dkms.conf of course adjusted to the version

#31

Yes, same directory

#32

lookin' good

but new problem r8125-dkms and r8125 conflicting

#33

Now do sudo pacman -U r8125-dkms-9.003.05-0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

#34

couldn't find or read package

#35

Directory listing?

change .zst to .xz - weird, arch moved to zst compression months ago.

How old was the iso you used?

#38

iso was downloaded two weeks ago or so

what is this?

#39

Hopefully just a warning, reboot does it work? I will look up the error.

OK can't find the message. Try booting with 5.4 kernel

"Consult the make.log in the build directory" - anything?

#40

first of all, it didn't help:Network

this is a screenshot from network manager.

I'll try the kernel thing now
