StartOS Support
1

Hello,
I coming from UmrelOS. I install Start9 for a test on my laptop. After one week running is ready to stay and move to other hardware.

After moving the ssd/m.2 into final machine i become
StartOS launch error:
WiFi Internal Error wlp2s0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

WiFi was before not configured or used and will in future also not using. How can i fixit this?

2nd question: GUI language is english, my keyboard is german. How can i change systemwide the layout (chroot and install keyb)?

Thanks for your help.

You might need to flash with x86_64-nonfree.iso) Release v0.3.5.1 · Start9Labs/start-os · GitHub
The nonfree has proprietary drivers that may fix that error. But make sure you select use existing drive so you don’t erase your data. You can follow these guides:

I belive have installed from this.
Do you realy mean must be reflashed? :thinking:

Have now trying

systemctl stop wpa_supplicant.service
apt remove wpasupplicant

but stocks with the construct and includes under

/etc/network/interfaces{.d/}
/etc/NetworkManager/...
/etc/wpa_supplicant/...

on the new hardware i have a wlp1s0. Maybe a rename and disable doing it?

The language thing is done by

apt install locales console-setup keyboard-configuration

I meant to reflash in case you didn’t use the nonfree orginally, but if you are sure that you did already use the nonfree ISO then this may not solve the error.

That’s crazy.
My WiFi device was before wlp2s0, now wlp1s0.

It’s a init thing (bug) between distro and the GUI, that bind a non activated/not configured device as critical depend.

Thanks for your help @Rick.
