Wireless networks are detected but I can't connect to any of them

Hi, I'm Vacanor, I'm trying to connect to my home wifi network but for some reason, even after creating profiles with wifi-menu and manually and many other things, I can't connect.

I've installed this GUI manager for my connections and wired works all fine but although it detects the networks in the area, there is this text saying (Disconected) after "Wifi Networks".

And whenever I click a network the dialog just fades off, everytime.

Any ideas?

I'm on a laptop, Lenovo IdeaPad Z500.

Tell me what info you need and i'll post averything I can.

Thank you in advance.

Re: Wireless networks are detected but I can't connect to any of them

It looks like you are trying to run netctl and NetWorkmanager concurrently.    That never ends well.

It appears from your screen shot that you really want to use NetworkManager.  Disable all of the netctl profiles using systemctl and enable the NetworkManger service.  Reboot, enter your GUI environment, and see if your can control the network.

Okey, I disabled and removed them. The command to connect to a network via cmd works and it loks that the GUI works fine too.
