A simple way to configure a static network configuration is to add the necessary ip commands to the "/etc/rc.local" file. With "ip a", you can figure out which name your network interface has.

For example for the network interface eth0:

Code: Select all

ip link set dev eth0 up
ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 brd + dev eth0
ip route add default via 192.168.1.1
After that disable the service "dhcpcd" with the command "rm /var/service/dhcpcd".

ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 dev eth0 should also works. I don't know if we really need brd + in the line.

Thank you very much for your valuable advice. I managed to get the connection to work, but using enP4096p6s0 instead of the usual eth0. I love Void-Linux :D . Its setting is interesting and the possibilities seem HUGE.

Small clarification: I do not know whether "brd" is essential either. Anyway, I added it as instructed and it works fine.

It seems essential to me to specify my DNS addresses. Can you show me how to do it?

You can add your DNS server ip address to the file "/etc/resolv.conf".

For example:

Code: Select all

nameserver	192.168.1.2

Hello Void Friends ;)

This project is really exciting. OK, software like Synaptic is missing, but xbps is a good replacement that is not difficult to drive. I was even able to install other environments. xfce is amazing and works flawlessly. For KDE (plasma X11), I do have the typical plasma reception, but I do not go beyond displaying the pointer in the dark.

On all environments, including Mate, I have no sound :cry: . My sound card (Sound Blaster Audigy Fx) is not recognized. I have installed all the ALSA resources, but nothing helps. It's amazing, because on Fienix, it worked without problem...

What could possibly be missing?

Have you copied the kernel modules directory of your current kernel to /lib/modules yet?

Aaaaah ! Of course, that's it ! I forgot the modules :lol: . I do see the modules for X1000, but those for X5000 are missing. I will take care of it tomorrow. Tonight, that will no longer be possible. Thank you again.

Hello Christian,

The 5.15 modules make it possible to restore sound. Not wonder, knowing that the module of my Sound Blaster audio card is included.

However, I have a strange behaviour that I do not see on Fienix. Internet connection is extremely slow on Mate and does not work on xfce. With the same resources on Fienix, I do not encounter this problem: uImage-5.15-rc4 and uInitrd-5.5. When I use uInitrd-5.12, UBoot does not start.

For the record, my network configuration is configured in /etc/rc.local
