WiFi wont connect

My WiFi connection doesn't work.
Connecting with netctl doesn't work:

>> sudo netctl start profile-name
Job for netctl@wlp6s0x2darmoni.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See systemctl status netctl@wlp6s0-armoni.service and journalctl -xe for details.

And when I try to use nmcli I get the following output:

>> nmcli
....
wlp6s0: unavailable
....

Any ideas why?

Re: WiFi wont connect

Conflicting network services, perhaps? Did you disable NetworkManager and set the interface down before trying netctl?

Can we see

ls -lR /etc/systemd/system

Can you connect manually with wpa_supplicant alone? Ensure all other networking programs are stopped before trying.

Re: WiFi wont connect

Looks like you have netctl-auto enabled as well as a specific profile. Does disabling one of those fix things? If not then please answer my other questions.
