How to start wifi login-debugging? EndeavourOS: ok, Arch: nok

Yesterday I installed the first time Arch and all in all it works pretty well, except the wifi: Under EndeavourOS (live image) wifi worked out of the box. Under Arch something is going wrong:

# time nmcli dev -a wifi connect <userid> password <password> 
Fehler: Aktivierung der Verbindung ist gescheitert: (53) Das WLAN konnte nicht gefunden werden.
(Error: Activation of the connection failed: (53) The wlan could not be found.)

real    0m25.911s
user    0m0.012s
sys     0m0.017s

25 seconds: Seems to be a timeout ..

NetworkManager itself is up and running and I can see the local wifi routers: 

# nmcli d wifi list
IN-USE  BSSID              SSID                  MODE   CHAN  RATE        SIGNAL  BARS  SECURITY  
        xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx  Loading...         Infra  1     270 Mbit/s  77      ▂▄▆_  WPA2      
        xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx  <SSID 1>           Infra  1     260 Mbit/s  75      ▂▄▆_  WPA2      
        ...

Since my old Manjaro Ideapad , as well with kde/plasma, is working fine with the exact same NetworkManager-config. Can anybody help me, how to dig into this error?

Thanks :-)

As a sanity check, please post the output of find /etc/systemd
?

25s is the default dbus timeout.

loginctl session-status

In doubt (and you using startx/xinit), see the last link below.

Thanks smile

I already read, that there might be possible conflicts between NM and systemd networking services. But actually, I don't know, how to identify them. Here you are:

Great, thanks for the hint!

For me, session-status seems pretty ok:

loginctl session-status

Re: How to start wifi login-debugging? EndeavourOS: ok, Arch: nok

Let's look at you pseudo-comman again, then:

nmcli dev -a wifi connect <userid> password <password>

What do you think "userid" is? Also I'm not sure that the "-a" is legal in that specific position (but idk and I don't use NM)
Try

nmcli dev wifi connect 'My SSID' password 'mysecretpassword' # the single quotes will prevent the shell from interpreting any special tokens in there

Any kind of "userid" has absolutely no business there.

Also please post the actual "wifi list"
The BSSID is no secret - if I'm in radio distance I can say that the forum user w/ the nick "PeerK" lives around here. That's all.
And if your SSID is embarrassing, just don't choose embarrassing SSIDs tongue

Since you're using plasma, can you connect w/ the plasma widget thingy?

Finally, look at your system journal after failign to connect.
