Hi-in Windows i use this Wireless-Connection (this is a Aldi-Talk-Hotspot with the ip:192.168.1.1).
I have problems to reach this wifi in the installation of arch.
I´ve tried to check if thsi wifi is softblocked&if i enter the command iwctl-nothing happen!
thank you
i can write here informations about the hardware of this device?
 


can we please have the output of inxi -N
[if inxi not installed then..... sudo pacman -s inxi ]
 
i can try that-and write again 30 minutes.
The Wifi-Device i use contains a sim card that would also fit in my mobile phone,
iḿ not sure if this works in the arch-installation process!
the ip is 192.168.1.1

my 2.question is if i can use windows11&2 other linux distributions parallel to windows11?

You are referring to what we call multi booting, you can put on as many distributions + windows as your HD will hold [but leave enough room for file storage on each
 
squashfs errors usually indicate some form of corruption in the download/install medium

""The Wifi-Device i use contains a sim card that would also fit in my mobile phone,"" so it's not a wi-fi but a mobile data connection, please quote the exact make and model of the dongle
 
you could also try the solution here

 
one thing is # means your root, so there should be no need of "sudo" . you didn't type "sudo iwctl --help " did you ?try at root prompt of # , just
Code:
iwctl   --help

Couple of other things , to make sure wifi is working when i did my install i used :

Code:
ping 8.8.8.8 
// then to get out of that , once you see its working ctrl+c 
//then from memory , once iwctl gets you connected, i think i had to exit out iwctl to get back to root install prompt

no matter whether I ping the ip 8.8.8.8
or the ip 192.168.1.1
-it is not reachable
-with iwctl i could´nt find my network
-only with my mobile phone or windows 11 or the first distribution (mageia)
-maybe i have to change the settings of the router somewhere?
 
What is output of ..
nmcli dev wifi list
 
In Windows11 I call the ip in the browser & edit the settings.
Everything looks fine in the advanced settings-should I post screenshots?
 
Does your wlan adapter appear in the device list when you run iwctl device list scan?

if he gets nothing with command
Code:
iwctl  --help

then I think he won't get to the stage of "station list" etc

PS i found using the "guided install " was hopeless and just did it manually; but interested to see if the guide worked - when you get there
 
Hi,IT Looks Like the latest Version works with iwtcl.later i could try to Reach my Network,thank you
If you Like i can post Screenshots from the Lists later?
 
ok this is the sequence I ran :

Code:
iwctl  --help
								station list [got wlan0]
	station wlan0 get-networks 
 	station wlan0 connect <my ssid for wifi>
	make sure to EXIT  to get out of iwctl
	ping 8.8.8.8 //worked 
        need to stop ping : 	ctrl +c
  
       then your ready to start install

looks like you've done similar

so for you need to test your connected eg ping 8.8.8.8

then exit back out of ping command ctrl +c


you can try guided , or manual

my manual notes are here : https://linux.org/threads/manual-install-vanilla-arch.36358/


One thing you do need to find out is graphic card , for stage when you start installing Desktop

Code:
this should tell you :
# lspci -v | grep -A1 -e VGA -e 3D

Options depending on output will be : 
 Intel:                  sudo pacman -S xf86-video-intel mesa
amd:	sudo pacman -S xf86-video-amdgpu mesa
nvidia                    	sudo pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils
