[SOLVED] connect to wlan after installation

LibraSubtilis · 2020-10-09 11:24:44

Hello,

I installed Arch on my laptop and have a similar issue, then Blackmorse ([SOLVED] Connect to internet after installation). I was able to connect to the internet while installing Arch, but I am not able to connect to it with the installed system. I possibly need to install packages and/or configure them. But which packages and/or how to configure them? I already spent 15 hours trying to figure out the reason and I am very frustrated (-.-) Please, help me.

$iw dev | grep -A 10 wlan0

If you did forget to install linux-firmware that would explain this. This is however quite clearly stated in the Installation guide, which instructions did you use to install your system?

Edit: Please wrap outputs in [ code ] [ /code ] tags without spaces, and post

sudo journalctl -b

after such a failed connection attempt.

linux-firmware is installed. I followed DistroTubes example, but he doesn't cover wireless network. I also searched for a solution in the installation guide in the wiki, but without success.

Sorry that one drowned a bit, you have iwd and networkmanager (... with wpa_supplicant as the WPA backend) enabled. That doesn't work, decide for networkmanager OR iwd (... or configure networkmanager to actually use iwd ) and disable the other daemon, they run into a fight for the networkcontroller otherwise

You found the problem! I was using multiple tutorials and installed both without knowing the consequence. Thank you very much (^.^)
