Dhcpcd no carrier [Solved]

I'm on my cellphone, so I won't paste much.

My problem is, my friend has change the internet setup. I, then, changed my wpa_supplicant profile, in accordance.

Thus, this problem came up,

 dhcpcd wlp4s0

wait long for carriers, and fails.

I made sure there were no two network managers abled.

At bootime,

[FAILED] automatically genersted profile by wifi-menu
[FAILED] Hostname Service
[FAILED] dhcpcd on wlp4s0

Re: Dhcpcd no carrier [Solved]

But

automatically genersted profile by wifi-menu

looks like netctl is in use.

However we don't know that, nor what happened to the wpa profile and whether it's actually used because of

You'll have to provide more info - right now, this is "it does not work" post and thus not going anywhere.

Re: Dhcpcd no carrier [Solved]

Just saying I won't paste much. Because I have to do it by hand. But if there is something I can paste for you that is helpful, I would be glad to do.

systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled

autov@.service enabled disabled
choose-mirror.service enabled disabled
dhcpcd.service enabled disabled
getty@service enabled enabled
pacman-init.service enabled disabled
remote-fs.target enabled enabled

The problem with autogenerated profile I solved earlier. Altough, I was manually stopping the service every boot. I had a problem with 'space' character while tryong to disable it. That one is solved.

Well, anyways, there we go. If you want any other input. But remember, I'm a newbie. Maybe I don't understand many commands and how things fit together. Thus, would be more wise to me to wait someone with experience to request an output, than to just blindly, manually, output a bunch of nonsensical things, don't you agree?

Re: Dhcpcd no carrier [Solved]

 dhcpcd wlan0

gives

 dhcpcd-9.0.2 starting
wlan0: waiting for carrier
timed out
dhcpcd exited 

(I'm currently making a backup, so I'm on a flashdrive, so the change in names to wlan0. I had a problem with corrupted xfs file. It would be nice to be able to instal xfs_repair, tho.)

Did you see the linked article that explains how you can use the internet connection of your phone?

No you don't.  Follow the link you were given.

Dhcpcd will not work by default for wireless.  Have you enabled the wpa_supplicant hook for dhcpcd, or what wpa_supplicant started before dhcpcd?  In either case, dhcpcd is not particularly relevant.  You need to establish a connection first with wpa_supplicant.

Post the output from wpa_supplicant (after stoping any/all networking services).  Also, back to the first post, how was the network setup changed?  And how did you revise your wpa_supplicant.conf?  What, specifically, changed.

Re: Dhcpcd no carrier [Solved]

So, I had a problem with data corruption, because I pressed shutdown, before it completely shut by command. So, I had to reinstall arch. And, now the problem do not exist. All is fine with my internet connection, while I'm using NetworkManager.

Thanks for the help. (I had not read the link though, because I already was going through the reinstall of arch process)

For what exactly changed, it was not my personal configuration, rather the name for the wireless connections, as well as the password. I did not know why, exactly, I was then unable to connect to any other wireless, or the new one, for that matter. Probably, I had many old configurations and, for some reason, they were conflicting.

I will, as a rule of thumb, for now on, try not to have more than one manager, for any matter, installed on the system.

Sorry for the confusion.
