Issue to connect to local network right after yunohost installation

Thank you all for the great input and sorry for the late reply.

I followed @Aleks advice with the plain vanilla debian. The installer indeed told me, that a driver is missing (in my case the “rtl_nic/rtl8168h-2.fw”).

So what I did to get yunohost running is

  • Install yunohost via wizzard
  • dismiss the post-installation
  • mount an additional usb stick with the driver (source)
  • sudo dpkg -i firmware-realtek_20200918-1_all.deb
  • sudo dhclient -v enp2s0 (to obtain an IP from my local router, thanks @ljf
  • perform yunohost post-installation

Because in my case after a reboot the computer did not obtain an IP, the dhclient -v enp2s0 command has to be performed at every boot. So i created an executable file with this command and added to crontab -e a line

@reboot /path/to/executablefile

Now it works seamlessly and I have to say it’s quite a leap in performance from a raspi to an i5 :slight_smile:

Thank you again for the support and the awesome project!
