Re: New network naming schema in systemd 197

jtag1458, welcome to the Arch Linux forums!  You should use the beginners guide rather than the lifehacker guide.  Guides found across the internet can have a horrible result due to their becoming outdated rather quickly, as is the case here.  Apparently it even tells you to use rc.d, which was part of SysV init that is no longer used around here. 

It is probably advisable to start again and follow the beginners guide, so you get an understanding of what you are doing and why, and getting correct information along the way.

Re: New network naming schema in systemd 197

Hello.

Today a problem appeared here: netcfg isn't starting the wireless interface anymore on boot.
I runned

systemctl status netcfg

and get this:

netcfg.service - Netcfg multi-profile daemon
      Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/netcfg.service; enabled)
      Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Dom 2013-02-24 14:31:22 BRT; 3min ago
     Process: 289 ExecStart=/usr/bin/netcfg-daemon start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
      CGroup: name=systemd:/system/netcfg.service
          └─351 wpa_supplicant -B -P /run/wpa_supplicant_wlan0.pid -i wlan0 -D nl80211,wext -c/run/network/wpa.wlan0/wpa.conf

Fev 24 14:31:16 LinuxPC netcfg-daemon[289]: :: wlan0 up wpa_supplicant did not start, possible configuration error
Fev 24 14:31:16 LinuxPC netcfg-daemon[289]: [fail]

Fev 24 14:31:22 LinuxPC systemd[1]: Failed to start Netcfg multi-profile daemon.
Fev 24 14:31:22 LinuxPC systemd[1]: Unit netcfg.service entered failed state

I have changed nothing in wlan0 profile, much less in wpa_supplicant or Netcfg settings, this problem came unexpectedly.
If I run

netcfg up wlan0

, the interface establishes connection normally.
I have other Netcfg profile here called eth0, an ethernet home network connection, and it works normally on boot.

If helps...:

Netcfg settings (/etc/conf.d/netcfg):

NETWORKS=(wlan0 eth0)

# I use net-auto-wired and ifplugd
WIRED_INTERFACE="eth0"

# This is off because I don't need net-auto-wireless. I tested using it and this not solves the problem.
# WIRELESS_INTERFACE="wlan0"

wlan0 profile (/etc/network.d/wlan0):

CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION='Internet'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SECURITY='none'
ESSID='iLG10'
IP='dhcp'

I don't know whether there is some relation with the problem, but before the problem appears I was testing other desktop environments, including Enlightenment 17, which has its own network manager, econnman (I disabled netcfg during the test). Some little slowness in system and browsing arose after the tests but already was eased. I currently use LXDE and have tested E17 and Razor-Qt, also tested login managers (LightDM and Slim - I use LXDM).

Ah, a question a little related to this topic: my wireless connection is open and has no encryption, why Netcfg needs wpa_supplicant at this case?

Thanks the attention and bye.

Re: New network naming schema in systemd 197

Hi

The last systemd update (systemd 197) change the historical network name like eth0 et wlan0 by something like wlp13s0 or enp14s0

check the new name with ifconfig

In etc/network.d/wlan0 file the  INTERFACE refer  to 'wlan0' ;  maybe you can try the new network name here


on my laptop the only way to get network at startup was to disable and delete netfcg and then install and enable network-manager

Re: New network naming schema in systemd 197

Here, ifconfig and ip link shows the old names (eth0, wlan0...).
My systemd version is 197-4.

How can I use and know the new names?

What you are looking for is in the wiki, but it is hard to find (seriously)

There was none symlink, but a normal text file. I removed it and the new names came up big_smile
From wlan0 to wlp2s2
From eth0 to enp1s0
This was a sudden change.

Thanks! All working fine now...

Re: New network naming schema in systemd 197

Hi folks! I've recently installed Arch in my new box. I have a wireless TP-LINK card, which uses the ath9k_htc module.
The problem that i've got is that it isn't recognized as default wlan0 by iwconfig. Instead of that:

wlp0s18f2u1  IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:"*"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF   
          Bit Rate=24 Mb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=30/70  Signal level=-80 dBm  
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:7039   Missed beacon:0

lo        no wireless extensions.
Linux localhost 3.8.3-2-ck #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Mar 17 16:36:28 EDT 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I've used this exact same card with my other box, which has Archlinux too. Is this a Firmware issue?
Anyway, the card works, but it's a harsh to write that instead of 'wlan0' to use for security purposes (ettercap, aircrack, and so long).

Thanks in advance!

@iamgabo, you need to mask 80-net-name-slot.rules.

Re: New network naming schema in systemd 197

I have just installed arch linux. When I boot with cd and chroot into the root, everything is fine and ifconfig prints eth0 and wlan0 and I can connect to internet using the wifi-menu command. But when I boot normally from hard disk, when I type wifi-menu I get this error:

No such interface:wlan0

and ifconfig lists only a device named lo, and ifconfig -a prints:

enp19s0: ...
lo:...
wlp18s0:...

I have installed arch before, but my interfaces were not renamed to this names. Why interfaces are renamed to this names at all? Is there a way to change them to eth0 and wlan0? And why wifi-menu prints this error?


Thanks

Re: New network naming schema in systemd 197

So just installed Archlinux for the first time on my system. Ran dhcpcd and here's what I get:

dhcpcd[4339]: version 5.6.7 starting
dhcpcd[4339]: enp0s7: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
dhcpcd[4339]: enp0s7: broadcasting for a lease
dhcpcd[4339]: enp0s7: offered 192.168.0.203 from 192.168.0.1
dhcpcd[4339]: enp0s7: acknowledged 192.168.0.203 from 192.168.0.1
dhcpcd[4339]: enp0s7: checking for 192.168.0.203
dhcpcd[4339]: enp0s7: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
dhcpcd[4339]: enp0s7: leased 192.168.0.203 for 86400 seconds
dhcpcd[4339]: forked to background, child pid 4365

So what is enp0s7? I'm guessing its eth0 in some other laguage. Did I do something wrong when I was installing? Is it supposed to be like this?

Any help would be great and thank you.

Re: New network naming schema in systemd 197

That's no strange language, it's the new device naming scheme introduced with systemd 197. See https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail … 24231.html for more info.

Edit: damn, too late... I should start bookmarking that stuff wink

Re: New network naming schema in systemd 197

I am trying to install Arch Linux as guest on VmWare and at this time I have a problem with network.   If I boot from installation CD I have a internet connection, but if I'll boot from my installation I have not the internet connection.

I noticed that if I boot from installation CD the command 'ip link' returns 'lo' and 'eth0' as network interface names, but if I'll boot from my installation 'ip link' returns 'lo' and 'enp2s1' as network interface names.

What is the reason of this difference ?

Just mask 80-net-name-slot.rules if you need that old naming scheme.

Re: New network naming schema in systemd 197

Hi,all
for me the best schema to working with interfaces names is to change them forever like that

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-net.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:23:90:a1:e5:ae", NAME="localnet"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:23:90:a1:e5:af", NAME="provider0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:23:90:a1:e5:b1", NAME="provider2"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:23:90:a1:e5:b0", NAME="uplink"

Hope this will help.

Re: New network naming schema in systemd 197

Whats wrong if I've upgraded systemd but still stuck with the classic ethX naming?

Read the mailing list, sorry didn't saw the posting the first time. sad
