[SOLVED] wifi-menu not working

aggressive-support35 · 2021-04-16 06:45:38

this is what the ip link command gives

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
3: eno2: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 04:d4:c4:e7:13:c6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname enp3s0
4: wlo1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 72:95:05:e9:9e:35 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff permaddr c8:09:a8:6d:38:eb
    altname wlp0s20f3
5: enp0s20f0u5: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether fa:3e:fd:eb:15:09 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

so i assume the interface is wlo1

the wifi-menu command works giving me the modem i want to connect to but after i press enter it gives this error

WPA association/authentication failed for interface 'wlo1'

wpa_supplicant as a precondition for this is installed? Check your journal on whether it logs why it doesn't connect. wlo1 as a name by default also sounds weird, which instructions are you following to set up this system? Is this an actual Arch install?

aggressive-support35 · 2021-04-16 07:10:26

this is an arch install

this is what neofetch gives if it helps

wpa_supplicant is installed
when i was installing arch it appeared as wlan0 actually but now this is what i am getting

this is from the journal

there's surely more context than that. Don't just grep for wlo1. Which chipset is this? Did it work on the install media? What did you use there to connect? iwctl? S

aggressive-support35 · 2021-04-16 07:52:20

if that is what you are asking i used this guide to install my system

yes i used iwctl on install and it worked just fine

the chipset is this

wlo1 is "predictable" by BIOS index (ie. until your next BIOS update or so…)

yes i used iwctl on install and it worked just fine

And does it still work on the installed system?

Shitty youtube tutorials are not supported for a reason, please post the *complete* system journal ("sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io")
But in doubt you just lack https://archlinux.org/packages/core/any/linux-firmware/

Don't mix networking tools, there's a networkmanager being started, use that and plasma-nm, don't use wifi-menu and disable netctl profiles or vice versa (disable networkmanager and use wifi-menu/netctl).

If this is insufficient, you should ask the youtube video author for help, as I'm not going to sit through a 2 hour video to figure where/or if you've been lead astray somewhere.

i did

 systemctl disable NetworkManager

it disabled it but nothing changed when is run wifi-menu

seth · 2021-04-16 08:31:56

That doesn't stop it for the active session…
There also seems an enabled netctl service

Which is expected, disable doesn't do anything during runtime, use stop to stop the currently actively running service (and you might generally want to try a reboot to really ensure there's only one service left, as afaik a stopping of NetworkManager will not try to stop an actual connection already attempted to be set up)

aggressive-support35 · 2021-04-16 08:33:33

the problem in the youtube video could be that it never told me to install linux-firmware

how do i install that now though? do i need to go with a live usb and arch-chroot /mnt ?

seth · 2021-04-16 08:40:35

That is *one* problem of shitty youtube tutorials, they're always dated.

If you have no network on the installed system you can use the install iso or any other system to chroot into your arch or you can also download the package elsewise and install if from a usb key.

aggressive-support35 · 2021-04-16 08:40:41

i rebooted i used start instead and it still won't work

seth · 2021-04-16 08:43:01

Used start instead of what?
Updated journal?

aggressive-support35 · 2021-04-16 08:43:32

so i just

pacman -S linux-firmware

or do i need to put that somewhere

aggressive-support35 · 2021-04-16 08:54:28

meant to say i used stop instead

systemctl stop NetworkManager

Don't start netctl and actually don't start wifi-menu either.
You still have an enabled nectl profile.

so i just
pacman -S linux-firmware
or do i need to put that somewhere

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman

aggressive-support35 · 2021-04-16 09:48:38

what do you want me to look at on the wiki? i installed it with that command but nothing changed

seth · 2021-04-16 09:51:55

"How to use pacman" (something else the shitty youtube tutorial didn't teach you…)
Disable the netctl services, post the output of

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

reboot and attempt to connect to the network w/ iwd, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Iwd
Does that work?
