I want to install Artix, but I'm having some problems.
First, I tried using the community KDE ISO. Install went fine and dandy. But I couldn't do pacman -Syu
because of conflicts with libjdk or some such.
I want to note that the Artix wiki says the ISOs are rebuilt every 2 weeks, but the most current ones are from last July. Are there more recent ISOs available?
So I tried doing it the hard way with the base install. I used the community ISO again to get the wireless working during the install, but when it gets to rebooting the laptop I don't have working wifi. This is on a Lenovo Thinkpad T480.
/etc/conf.d/net has
modules_wlan0="wpa_supplicant"
config_wlan0="dhcp"
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf has
country=us
update_config=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
scan_ssid=1
ssid="<my wifi network>"
psk="<wifi password>"
}
This fails on bootup with
Bringing up interface wland0
Caching network module dependencies
Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...

rfkill: WLAN soft blocked

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Why is my wlan0 soft blocked?
