Wifi dongle not working

sed -i “s|re wget|re https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ wget|g”

here is what i typed in the terminal

Do you have internet in your Qubes? Or you’re posting on forum from another device?

Most probably you’ve typed / instead of | in command.
sed -i “s| ← here is | and not /
There are three | in the command, check it.

sed -i “s|re wget|re https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ wget|g”

this is exactly what i typed in the terminal, i do have internet in my qube yes

DId you add the path to the install file at the end?
sed -i "s|re wget|re https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ wget|g" /path/to/install

yes, i take manually the file and put it in the terminal at the end of the command line

Select the command on this page with mouse, copy it with Ctrl+C, copy the qube clipboard to global clipboard with Ctrl+Shift+C, open the template terminal window, copy from global clipboard to qube clipboard with Ctrl+Shift+V, paste into terminal with Shift+Insert.

Here’s an example of the command execution in my system:

user@host:~$ sed -i "s|re wget|re https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ wget|g" /tmp/install
user@host:~$ sed -i "s|re wget|re https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ wget|g"
sed: no input files
user@host:~$ sed -i "s|re wget|re https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ wget|g"/tmp/install
sed: -e expression #1, char 89: unknown option to `s'

Your error message is printed if I don’t have space between " and path.

if i put a space, nothing happens…

That means that command executed successfully. Now you can try to run the install script.

oh… how do i run it?

The same way as before:
sh /path/to/install

ERROR: The driver was NOT successfully installed!

I’ve ended up trying it myself. Run this command and then try to run the install script again:
sed -i 's|https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ wget --no-check-certificate -nv "\$@"|sh -c "https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ wget --no-check-certificate -nv \"\$@\""|g' /path/to/install
The /path/to/install file should be the one for which you’ve executed previous sed command.
It worked for me.

i deleted all the install files i had and re downloaded it again and type all the command but its not even install again…
i give up, im obviously not able to do it and waited enough of your time.
I thank you so much again for your patience sincerely…

If you have such a problem with sed commands then you can open the install file in text editor then manually find and change the string:
wget --no-check-certificate -nv "$@"
to string
sh -c "https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ wget --no-check-certificate -nv \"$@\""

thank you, unfortunately im completely lost, so frustrating…

this is after typing exactly all the command lines

You forgot to add the space between ’ and /home/user/install in sed command.
Also I don’t see the escape symbols (\) in the sed command "\$@".
Once again try:
sed -i 's|https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ wget --no-check-certificate -nv "\$@"|sh -c "https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082/ wget --no-check-certificate -nv \\\"\$@\\\""|g' /home/user/install

omg it did worked finally!
drivers have installed, do you know what i need to do now?
Knowing that i cloned my debian template o install the drivers, but how can i see the wifi in sysnet ?
