I am using pi as my main system.

for sometime, i had to start dhclient manully to connect to the internet, to fix this, when i searched on internet, i came to know that i have both dhcpcd and dhclient installed.. so i remove dhcpcd5 isc-dhcp-client isc-dhcp-common packages by seeing the answer,

🥺 now i don't have internet

i tried connect internet manually using

sudo ip addr add 192.168.1.7/24 dev eth0

sudo ip route add default via 192.168.1.1

but it showing error

Error:Nexthop has invalid gateway
  1. is there any way to install dhclient back without internet?
  2. any way to connect to the internet without dhcp.

thanks in advance

    Why don't you just install a standard OS and don't fiddle with it. Networking works out of the box. If you have some reason to not use the default networking you need to explain.

  • i am using default noobs os, without gui, and i installed awesome wm and kde... my problem is, once i installed dhclient to thether phone, since then internet is not starting at boot, but in orderto fix it, i removed some packages ended up breaking the system. yesterday i had cleared apt's cache to save memory, so today i didn't even had a way to install it

  • NOOBS isn't an OS it is an installer - which Raspberry Pi Ltd. has finally had the decency to discontinue and has never been default. Do yourself a favour and install Raspberry Pi OS.

  • i have been using it for 8 months, i have many importing files in it, and there is no other system with me, except for my compnys one , where i canot install enything else... also this is really customised 😄, so until i get a new system, i have no plan to update it, as this works for me .. and i know noobs is installer, but i meant, i installed the offical one from the installer ...

🙂 i fixed it my self..

i checked

\var\log\apt\history.log

and find out exact version of pacakges i accidentally uninstalled and gone to http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/binary-arm64/Packages

http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/binary-arm64/Packages

and find out location of exact package name

then eg:

Package: dhcpcd5
Version: 1:8.1.2-1+rpt5
Architecture: arm64
Maintainer: Scott Leggett <[email protected]>
Installed-Size: 424
Depends: lsb-base (>= 3.0-6), libc6 (>= 2.28), libudev1 (>= 183)....
...
Filename: pool/main/d/dhcpcd5/dhcpcd5_8.1.2-1+rpt5_arm64.deb

exits in

http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/d/dhcpcd5/dhcpcd5_8.1.2-1+rpt5_arm64.deb

download it in phone.. connect phone to pi using usb cable, transfer it to pi

then install it using

sudo dpkg -i <pkgname>.deb

start dhcp using

sudo dhclient

volla! we have internet! 🙂 now i can go and study for tomorrow's exam

Note : i recently had removed my apt's cache using

sudo apt clean

otherwise i would have that deb pacakges in

/var/cache/apt/archives/
