[Solved] Wifi wpa2 problems

I am trying to connect to my wifi network protected with a wpa2 password. when I click on the network using NetworkManager, no password box comes up and it fails to connect. when I use wpa_gui it says "could not get statues from wpa_supplicant, and When I use wifi-menu It says this:

Job for netctl@wlp1s0\x2dNetwork.service failed. See 'systemctl status netctl@wlp1s0\x2dNetwork.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

Journalctl -xn says:

Thank you

Edit: well after a lot a work I have finally fixed my network problems. I uninstalled networkmanager, netctl, wpa_supplicant and iw, then installed all of them but netctl, and that finally seems to have worked

Re: [Solved] Wifi wpa2 problems

Have you explicitly configured network manager to use IPv6 on your wireless connection or was that a mistake?

Re: [Solved] Wifi wpa2 problems

Are you using networkmanager or netctl? You appear to be using both, which clearly won't work.

Re: [Solved] Wifi wpa2 problems

Well I used netctl for a while and that would sometimes work but mostly wouldn't. When I went to college netctl didn't work on the network there so I used networkmanager which has worked much better for me for the most part. I did not realize I can't have both. Should I uninstall netctl and just use networkmanager? Also, I do not think I have explicitly configured network manager to use IPv6

Re: [Solved] Wifi wpa2 problems

So I just installed the MATE desktop environment and network manager works perfectly with all networks under MATE. In Gnome network manager can only connect to unprotected wireless networks, and in xfce I can't get the applet to show up. I could go into MATE every time I want to connect to a new network, but thats kind of a hassle, is there a way to get network manager to work in xfce the way it does in MATE?

update:
So now when I connect in MATE it will connect for a little and then it will disconnect and ask me to reenter my password, and then It wont be connected

Re: [Solved] Wifi wpa2 problems

I cannot remember that I have particularly installed it. It might be a part of Antergos. It might be better to install Arch "the normal way".

Don't necrobump. Particularly solved threads and especially about non-supported distros.
