Netctl-auto fails

adamovic · 2016-08-13 18:13:43

Hi all,

I have wireless working with netctl and wanted to configure netctl-auto, but this fails

[mladen@localhost ~]$ ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: enp2s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 30:8d:99:7c:2a:d8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlp4s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether d8:5d:e2:a8:93:db brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

[mladen@localhost ~]$ sudo netctl start netctl-auto@wlp4s0
Job for netctl@netctl\x2dauto\x40wlp4s0.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status "netctl@netctl\\x2dauto\\x40wlp4s0.service"" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Nothing in these additional log files as I see.

Any help?

Thanks

Please post the complete log files rather than your interpretation of them.

I've got this working.

used

sudo journalctl --no-pager | grep "netctl"

I've had to stop active netctl, and then run

sudo systemctl start netctl-auto@wlp4s0

now it seems to be working

Still, netctl is flaky, but it is for another post (until I figure out more details).

Please post *full* commands and error messages rather than snippets.

See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855 and probably https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … ice_failed as well.

Also, please don't hijack threads, start your own thread for this issue and link back to this one if you think it's relevant.
