No Wireless connection, can't proceed the Post-installation | Laptop

TrueNDiary · 2017-01-08 13:50:40

Hey there!

So I've recently installed ArchLinux on my Asus Zenbook UX510UX [There is NO Ethernet port]
and after accessing the tty section I've logged to my user account and ran:

[truendiary@asus ~]$ sudo wifi-menu

and got this output:

No network found

so I ran:

[truendiary@asus ~]$ ip link

and found out wlp2s0 is down, tried to set it up, here's the output:

[truendiary@asus ~]$ RTNETLINK answers: Operation not possible due to RF-kill

ran..

[truendiary@asus ~]$ rfkill list

and phy0 is Hard blocked..

0: hci0: Bluetooth
          Soft blocked: no
          Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
          Soft blocked: no
          Hard blocked: yes
2: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
          Soft blocked: no
          Hard blocked: no
3: asus-bluetooth: Bluetooth
          Soft blocked: no
          Hard blocked: no

Playing with Fn+F2 wont help its just switching between Hard/Soft..

[truendiary@asus ~]$ dmesg | grep wifi[
Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-7265D-24.ucode failed with error -2
Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-7265D-23.ucode failed with error -2

wlp2s0: renamed from wlan0

How can I fix the connection? Thank for your help!

The usual fix for some Asus laptops is

echo "options asus-nb-wmi wapf=4" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/asus-nb-wmi.conf

Reboot

✔

Thanks @jeremy31
That line unblock the Hard blocked phy0 I had.

But still no connection, ran:

[truendiary@asus ~]$ ip link

and it's shows me that wlp2s0 is still down.
running

[truendiary@asus ~]$ sudo ip link set wlp2s0 up

won't effect wlp2s0 for some reason.

Any fix for that one?

did you enable some network managing service?
how does ip up fail? error message? strace?
is it soft locked?
tried explicit down/up instead of just up?

elvith32 · 2017-01-09 14:31:17

I previously had the same problem , executing

 sudo wifi-menu wlp2s0

sorted the problem for me after removing the hard block via rfkill.

I've tried the down/up set but it didnt work.
but I do get an error from the service..

[truendiary@asus ~]$ systemctl status netctl

seth · 2017-01-09 16:39:13

"sudo systemctl" or install policykit.
tried elvith32 suggestion?

Well first i've executed

sudo systemctl enable netctl

after establishing the connection i ve just used

sudo netctl enable profile

if thats what you've asked and i didn't install any policykit manually.

But you can check whether you have polkit installed or running by typing

sudo systemctl status polkit.service

Output of the command should give you further info

I've tried with sudo but nothing.
I did install polkit through arch-chroot liveCD, rebooted and ran

[truendiary@asus ~]$ systemctl status netctl
    netctl.service - (Re)store the netctl profile state
       Loaded:  loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/netctl.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)

and its change from disabled to enabled

[truendiary@asus ~]$ systemctl status netctl
    netctl.service - (Re)store the netctl profile state
       Loaded:  loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/netctl.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
       Active: inactive (dead)

but its still dead

Did you check if the polkit running with

sudo systemctl status polkit.service

Systemd#Using_units
That is expected behavior you enabled the unit but did not start it.
Edit:
Would recomend you succeed with Wireless_network_configuration#Manual_setup before you configure any network managers.
Please post the actual outputs of the commands, outputs are missing for

$ ip link
# ip link set wlp2s0 up

Can I access this file via windows 10? I'm using dual boot and I have not user interface & internet (im still on the tty) so I'm rebooting every time to replay on the post

loqs · 2017-01-09 19:33:54

Probably easiest way is to use a usb thumb drive formatted to some version of fat.
The windows 10 partition is probably ntfs you would need the ntfs-3g package NTFS-3G#Manual_mounting
Also see NTFS-3G#Metadata_kept_in_Windows_cache.2C_refused_to_mount which I expect will stop you mounting the windows partition rw without the noted changes.
Also can you check dmesg before and after trying to bring the interface up to see if any new entries are produced by running the command.

You might use my favorite trick to get Internet in a case where you need it to complete an install -- USB tether a smartphone. It will appear as a wired network which you can set up using simply dhcpcd as root. The phone will provide NAT forwarding for whatever wireless network it is using (either WiFi or your cellular data). If you are not on WiFi, watch your data usage, of course.

seth · 2017-01-09 19:51:52

Since yout probably tried around a lot while being hard blocked:
also dump

systemctl list-units | grep -iE '(net|dhcp|wicd)'

to ensure you didn't create a service race.

Can you guide me on how to do this? I have an iPhone 6.

I've never owned an iThing. Try this: https://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-use-t … s-a-modem/ Steps one through three. Then, on you Arch box as root, run dhcpcd

That should do it.

For some reason the dhcp didn't recognized anything so I gave up and reformatted my HDD and install windows 10 again because I wanted to delete the rEFInd boot loader.
I did some googling and I was wondering if my wifi driver is even supported for arch or linux in general..
Found this website https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/use … i#download
but I don't know what to do with all those kernel versions and *.tgz files
I really want to install & run arch,
Could those drivers fix my problem and if so, in what stage I need to install them and how?

P.S My Network adapter is Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265

1) there is way too much high level crap early in this thread - I agree with loqs 110%, get the manual wireless connection methods working first before you bother with wireless (mis)management services. In fact, if any of those services are enabled or running, disable and stop them all. They *will* cause problems for diagnostics.

2) iwlwifi is in the stock kernel, you don't need to install it. This can be confirmed by the fact that your wireless interface is listed by `ip a` output. If the driver was loaded, your wireless interface wouldn't even be listed at all.

3) `ip link set <interface> up` worked. This can be seen in your photo in post 12. The output is a bit misleading at times, but `ip link set <interface> up/down` is reflected by the "UP" inside the angled brackets. You photo shows that the wireless interface is UP. The DOWN later on that line means there is not an active connection with an access point. So you should now be at this step. Continue from there and report any errors.
