No wireless connection after pacman update

nullwiz · 2013-11-13 22:12:30

I dont get any connection whatsoever after a pacman -Syu . Im using wicd and iwconfig shows the device.
Im only using wicd and the service should start and connect after booting but it dosnt. If I start the wicd-gtk, it dosnt show the connections. I tried to use wifi-menu but it throws a connection error (gives me the journal -xn)
Any reason for whats causing this? Ill try to copy every command, but its hard since im posting from another pc.
Thanks

Is the wicd service actually running? I can't tell from how you worded your post. Try

# systemctl start wicd

Yes, this is actually the first thing I did.

What error messages are in the journal? In wicd's log? What packages were in the upgrade?
You need to try an narrow down the fault...

For the packages, I did a full system upgrade. I cant remember how many or what packages were actually upgraded cause they were.. many.
Im sorry admin! Let me try to copy as much as I can : the journal after using wifi-menu:
Something interesting is that I see for a second that my wifi is on ( im usng xmonad and dzen ), then it goes off.

I have edited your post to use code tags: please read the Forum Etiquette for pasting pictures and code:

You will need to paste the actual logs: what you have there is not really actionable.

What logs? wicd logs?

I think this may help,

systemctl status wicd.service shows :

There is a similar topic, did you read it?

nullwiz · 2013-11-14 06:43:56

Thanks but when I try to remove initscripts or sysvinit (pacman -R) I get package not found for both, why is that?

Scimmia · 2013-11-14 06:47:12

Because that topic is from 9 months ago and very unlikely to be relevant. If you still had initscripts and sysvinit at this point, you'd have a lot more problems than just this.

Allright... Im just following the post that that guy made.

nullwiz · 2013-11-14 15:55:44

I thought the problem was with my connection but it looks like its not based around it. I tried to connect to another network and the problem persists.

h00d · 2013-11-14 21:27:12

I have a similar issue. Downgrading intel-dri, mesa, and related packages resolved it. (9.2.3.1 => 9.2.2.1)

What in the world does mesa have to do with wireless?

h00d · 2013-11-15 00:44:14

@Scimmia: you're completely right, turns out in my case it was the connection at fault, not any of the updates

Someone knows how to fix this? WIFI just dosnt work. I would appreciate any help, I cant even connect with wifi-menu.
If it dosnt work I guess ill just move to a different OS, Arch has caused enough pain for me.

Lone_Wolf · 2013-11-15 22:07:36

nullwiz, it would help if you gave us some info about your wifi hardware, please post lspci output.
if you're using a usb dongle for wifi, lsusb woudl be needed.

Does wifi work if you boot from latest arch install iso ?

raavas · 2013-11-16 20:25:39

I have similar issue as the original poster, but in my case I am using NetworkManager and I have wired connection available. After unplugging the wired connection, wireless works ok. This happened after the recent update. I have Qualcomm Atheros AR928X Wireless Network Adapter from lspci and the NetworkManager.service is running.

EDIT: this morning the problem seems to be gone. I'll monitor the situation, though.
