[SOLVED] Netctl-auto failed

Shark · 2014-04-28 06:16:23

Hello!

After some months i switched back to netctl. I set netctl-auto for wireless and ethernet. My client is dhclient, dhcpcd is not on my system.

Now - the thing is that my connection is working most of the time. But the weird thing is that systemctl --failed always show:

● ifplugd@eth0.service      loaded failed failed Daemon which acts upon network cable insertion/removal
● netctl-auto@wlan0.service loaded failed failed Automatic wireless network connection using netctl profiles

no matter if the connection is working or not.

Here is systemctl --type=service --no-pager:

Your eth0 service file is not prefixed with 'netct-'. The wiki says something else. But this is just an observation, it *seems* to work okay.
Second, your interfaces are still named by the kernel. And not by the udev persistent rules. Is that okay?

Could you provide the output of the following command?

as root:

systemctl status netctl-auto@wlan0.service
systemctl status ifplugd@eth0.service
ip link show

I have followed wiki. Should i renamed it?

I have reboot once again and now the "failed status" has only ifplugd service. Wlan0 is ok. I suppose the reason behind this is that i have removed one old service file of netctl.

As long as i know my networks have always been wlan0 and eth0.

I can't connect automatically or manaually to ethernet. In my interfaces folder i set for eth0 and wlan0 dhclient instead of dhcpcd. If i try to use ethernet via ifplugd i get this from journal -xn:

Yeah, rename the service file and try again please.

I have renamed it but the problem still persist. Here is the journalctl -xn:

Ok, here is the thing. "Problem" solved. When i was trying ethernet my router was up and so i was connected to touter while i was trying to connect to ethernet. So when i disconnect from router my ethernet started to work just fine.

Thanks for the help.
