[Solved] Unable to connect to WiFi

darshanparab@gmail.com · 2017-10-19 05:25:29

Hello All,

I have installed archlinux with xfce on my laptop. The problem I'm facing is each time I try to connect to WiFi network; it gets disconnected immediately. dmesg records an error message as "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlo1: link is not ready".

I checked following things;
1. I'm able to see available WiFi networks in network manager applet.
2. Kernel module for my WiFi adapter is installed.

What card? What driver? How are you managing the connection? Please paste the output of `systemctl --user list-unit-files --state=enabled`

Moving to NC...

Ugh, I meant: `systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled`

And please use code tags when pasting to the boards: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … s_and_code

You have multiple services enabled, which are conflicting and causing your issue. How did you install Arch?

darshanparab@gmail.com · 2017-10-19 06:41:17

Basic Arch installation I did using Archwiki.
After installing xfce I was facing some issues so did a bit of troubleshooting. Some of the services might have got enabled while doing that.
Which of these I should disable?

jasonwryan · 2017-10-19 06:43:42

It's entirely up to you, depending on how you want to manage your network. The point is, though, you can only enable one network managing service.

Okay. I'll try that and update the thread soon.

darshanparab@gmail.com · 2017-10-20 03:52:02

Hi,

I tried by disabling multiple services. But issue still persists.
This is a current status of enabled services as of now

UNIT FILE                                   STATE  
autovt@.service                             enabled
dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service enabled
dbus-org.freedesktop.nm-dispatcher.service  enabled
dhcpcd.service                              enabled
display-manager.service                     enabled
getty@.service                              enabled
lightdm.service                             enabled
NetworkManager-dispatcher.service           enabled
NetworkManager.service                      enabled
remote-fs.target                            enabled

10 unit files listed.

I'm going to start the configuration from basic again. I'll update the thread with the results.

tried

dhcpcd.service                              enabled
NetworkManager.service                      enabled

...

Hi,

If I disable NetworkManager service; network manager applet doesn't show any information throws an error saying "NetworkManager is not running."
If I disable dhcpcd service keeping network manager service running; still face the same issue. Error : wlo1 link is not ready

seth · 2017-10-20 13:55:10

Disable and stop all network managing services, then try a manual connection: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … nual_setup
Provide the error messages you run into with this (if any)

darshanparab@gmail.com · 2018-03-17 04:44:11

Hi All,

Apologies for the delayed reply. Archwiki had the answer. Somwhow I skipped the line.
I did not install Gnome-Keyring package. Whenever I was trying to connect a protected WiFi network, it was not able to prompt for credentials.

Thanks for help.
