Post Installation Problems

After I installed Alpine, I experienced some issues, which are quite hard to resolve; especially if you are a beginner.

  • Couldn't connect to Wifi
    udhcpcd couldn't connect to the Internet. This issue was resolved, when I enabled the wpa_supplicant with rc-update add wpa_supplicant boot
  • Problems with amdgpu
    I installed sway following the wiki. But when I tried to start it, it exited with the error "Unable to create backend". After some digging in the wikis I've found out, that you need to remove the nomodeset kernel boot parameter in /etc/default/grub and additionally add kms in the features in /etc/mkinitfs/mkinitfs.conf and execute mkinitfs and grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

These Issues can be easily resolved in the Installation process
