Problem with wifi and wifi-menu

Hello all,.
For a long time I have been having trouble connecting to wifi. I have digged all the forums but nothing seems to work.

When I try to connect to a network using

wifi-menu`

it says connection failed, and presents the following in the terminal. 

Job for netctl@wlp4s0\x2dCUHK.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status "netctl@wlp4s0\\x2dCUHK.service"" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

.
And when I check

 systemctl status "netctl@wlp4s0\\x2dCUHK.service" 

 
This is what I get: 

● netctl@wlp4s0\x2dCUHK.service - Networking for netctl profile wlp4s0-CUHK
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/netctl@.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)

[huzo_user@huzo ~]$ ● netctl@wlp4s0\x2dCUHK.service - Networking for netctl profile wlp4s0-CUHK

 

I am not sure what should I be doing. What would you suggest, what further information should I provide? 

Thanks a lot!

Re: Problem with wifi and wifi-menu

You have Networkmanager wpa_supplicant and netctl all running at the same time. Decide for one and disable all others.

Re: Problem with wifi and wifi-menu

netctl can start wpa_supplicant for wireless connenctions, seeing those two together is not strange.
netctl can also start dhcpcd if desired, no need to enable it.

disable NetworkManager or netcl .


Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

Re: Problem with wifi and wifi-menu

If you have either *SERVICE* enabled, it will run next to the netctl subprocess and collide for sure.

Re: Problem with wifi and wifi-menu

How did you enable them?
(No, it's not by default)

Re: Problem with wifi and wifi-menu

I cannot remember, as it was sometime ago. But I think trying many solutions to solve the issue may have worsen some things.

Re: Problem with wifi and wifi-menu

Read the link I posted, it explains how to enable and disable services and some other stuff you really should know.
