Gentoo Not Authorized To Use WiFi Oh My



This video/instructions are only pertinent to the ‘live’ gentoo .iso.
This boots into Plasma DE. Once you gain access to the network, the handbook is on the desktop.
I might suggest that you copy & paste into your own text editor, copy to USB & use that to connect to your WiFi. (Unless you just like typing, then by all means do so)

Read the following link first:

First run: sudo passwd root

2: In /home/gentoo make folder USB * this is only the way I did it. You can mount it anywhere I suppose.

3: Mount dev: mount /dev/sd?1 /home/gentoo/USB
** include number

4: Navigate & open your saved file & proceed to 5:

If nm-applet fails to create new networks with the error “Insufficient Privileges,” then it could be a policy kit issue. Create the following file:

5: # nano /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.rules

Copy & Paste the following, which you should copy from web page:

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id.indexOf(“org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.”) == 0 && subject.isInGroup(“plugdev”)) {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});

Save & Exit

This lets all users in the plugdev group control network manager.

6: Try connecting to WiFi

Success

I was thrilled not to drag out the Ethernet cable.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for watching!
Arch on? Gentoo on? ArchGenCalcFedDebBSD on!!!
