Using reMarkable tablet with Arch linux using netctl

README.md

Find out the name of the reMarkable interface, by running this command:

$ ip link

If you don't know your other connection names, run the command, then plug the reMarkable into the computer and run the command again, it should be the new connection that shows up

Install dhclient if you don't have it

$ pacman -S dhclient 

Now, finally run dhclient in the reMarkable interface:

# dhclient enp0s20u2c2 # This is an example, replace the enp0s20u2c2 with yours

Now go to: http://10.11.99.1/

On mine this results in a RTNETLINK answers: File exists message when I run it as root.

@japhir Which command specifically?

Oh sorry.

I get the correct device name using ip link before and after connecting. I've got dhclient installed (also on Arch Linux). Then, when I sudo dhclient enp0s20f0u2 I get RTNETLINK answers: File exists. If I run it without sudo, I get RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted.

But it seems like the http://10.11.99.1 url works once I allowed it on the remarkable! I dont' think the set-up was necessary in the newest version, since it also just worked on a different machine, where I didn't try to run any of these commands. Sorry for bothering you :).

Good to know that it's working for you @japhir. Next time I'll try without dhclient and see if it works for me :), thanks for letting me know!
