      and also, if you need any other information, you can always ask still.

        At this stage I'm no longer sure what's wrong here.

        You state

        "problem: because the keyboard cant be configured and I can really only use terminal, I cant get the wifi setup and if I try to set it up with terminal it says that there isnt a thing to save it at."

        What's the actual error message you're getting, and when do you get it?

        The last instructions you got were the right ones. If the file doesn't exist, and you're sure you didn't make a typo, then do create it with that content and save it.

            I put the sd card into a different computer (well same raspberry pi but with raspbian) and found the wpa_supplicant.conf file, but I cant change it as I have no access to it. So, in terminal I type sudo chmod +x /media/pi/retropie/ect/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, and nothing comes up, no permission denied or anything, but when I go back to the file I still cant open it, still no access.

              open it with root.
              sudo nano /media/pi/retropie/ect/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

              your chmod command is to make it executable and not for changing permissions.

                @hex Just to note.... It is possible to import WIFI credentials via textfile :)
                Insert the SD-card in any OS and you can open FAT32 partition and enter password and SSID in wifikeyfile.txt

                The method was introduced here

                  @cyperghost @Gamerguy010101 That is certainly easier.

                  I have a wpa_supp file backed up. so as soon as i finish flashing an sd card I change the hostname, enable ssh and wifi.

                    I literally read this a few days ago and forgot about it.
