[SOLVED] Connman only works if service is restarted after boot

tyrannis · 2015-11-19 20:01:25

I am new to Arch (and still relatively new to Linux in general) and I need some help:

I am using Enlightenment 19 DE with connman as my network manager, as well as using econnman as my desktop panel applet. I have my home wi-fi network set as my default network, as well as being set to auto connect. When I log-in after booting econnman shows the connection status as "association" and does not connect unless i restart connman.service is systemctl. Is there some way I can change this so that connman will connect without requiring me to restart the service.

Like I mentioned above I am still in the learning process so please let me know which config files you need me to post for assistance.

Thanks to everyone in advance for the help.

What is the status in the journal when you first log in (and you aren't connected)?

It starts with no problem, but there are the following error lines (not consecutively):

Nov 19 15:57:30 archTuringMachine89 kernel: iwlwifi 0000:07:00.0: No association and the time event is over already…

Disable netctl.

I thought I had, here is the result of systemctl status netctl after booting:

systemctl status netctl

● netctl.service - (Re)store the netctl profile state
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/netctl.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)

I got it configured correctly now, thanks for pointing me in the right direction jasonwryan.

Here is what I did:

1) Uninstalled netctl and dependencies

2) Disabled the netctl profile service for my wifi connection

3) Reinstalled netctl (in case I need it) and disable it via systemctl

I have done a few full system shutdowns and reboots and connman is now auto connecting
