When trying to setup-pman, I get the error message:
there is no internet connection
in addition, the keyboard plugged to the laptop is not identified, I have to work from the laptop keyboard.

Thanks.

presumably, you do have a connection?
setup-pman calls this function from /usr/share/porteus/porteus-functions:

Code: Select all

###############################
# is_online
#
# Checks if internet is available
###############################
is_online(){ ping -q -w 1 -c 1 `ip r | awk '/default/{print$3}'|head -n1` >/dev/null 2>&1; }
havn't had this problem myself, i'll check it out..

re: keyboard.. anything show up in Xorg.0.log? is it a usb keyboard?
xf86-input-keyboard or xf86-input-libinput should handle it i would think, with some help from udev..
possibly try unplugging and replugging and see if anything shows in Xorg.0.log..

I have a connection.

I boot with porteus xfce and then with nemesis and then porteus xfce. Under porteus ok, nemesis no link.

or

looks like some sort of kernel driver issue..
i suppose the question is : was this hardware working with prevous nemesis updates?
also maybe try this new(4.13.3) kernel [How to] upgrade 3.5 nemesis 000-kernel.xzm with porteus 3.2
it's bigger, so maybe it has more firmware/hardware support..

You must be right. I have the same nemesis install on two laptops, the one more recent a toshiba satellite z930 does not seem to have these issues. Unless, I have ill copied the the os on the older system.

I will check that and follow your suggestion.
