I'm unable to run the command because I have no internet connection nor any devices to copy the files over to another machine. That's why I manually copied the output of what I considered relevant commands.

Hi, thanks for the instructions Joseph Salisbury.

I plugged in a wifi card and I have internet now, but the ethernet driver still seems to not work. I'll try to follow your instructions when I get the time and I'll update the bug.
