No luck with Arch Linux

Followed the instructions, but I can't telnet to 192.168.2.2. Times out every time.

Looks like my device is called enp0s20u2 instead of usb0, for what it's worth.

Arch Linux uses ip addr instead of ifconfig. I adapted the command in the README to work with it: sudo ip addr add 192.168.2.10/24 broadcast 192.168.2.255 dev enp0s20u2

Running ip addr afterward shows:

Any idea what might be going on here?

I wish I could help you. I'm traveling so have no access to the memoto. When I'm back I can try Arch in a VM and see what it is doing. Then you'll have something to compare with.

Awesome. Thanks!

@ryepdx Sorry, I lost my Memoto for a while, but found it back. :-)

I installed Arch in virtualbox, but I'm afraid it doesn't help much. I've besides the loopback device, an enp0s3 device which maps to the IP4 range inet 10.0.2.15/24 br 10.0.2.255. On my host machine both the Memoto device via USB via enp0s20f0u1 and Wifi via wlp1s0 are reachable from the virtualbox client.

If I remove the USB device in the host, I have to set up the USB connection through Virtualbox. That's always a pain for anything that's a bit new. I'll have to go down the rabbit hole of installing guest additions, etc. All for a distribution that I'm not familiar with, so it will take ages. :-(

The only thing I can recommend is to take a look at your routing table:

route -n
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 enp0s20f0u1

Be completely sure the enp0s2* interface is used when you telnet to 192.168.2.2. Good luck!
