No internet connection and wierd behavior of laptop

Hello,

I am using Arch Linux for aboutv2 months and never had any problems til yesterday.

I did a full system upgrade und shutdown the laptop.

Next day i booted  and wanted to check my e-mails. I recognised the wireless conection was fluctuating between on and of. After a view minutes the gnome panel displays a constant connection but every ping ends with ''unable to reach (or something like that)'.

I tried restarting the NM with:

 systemctl restart NeteorkManager 

wich resulted in an error.

When i try to reboot the laptop i takes about 20 mins. It says: 'waiting for process: ip, iwd, wpa_supplicant, NetworkManager... '

I did already boot the liveUSB and did a full system upgrade

 pacman - Syu

wich worked without problems. Hence the hardware and network is ok.
But the upgrade didn't solve anything.

Thanks in advance.

Re: No internet connection and wierd behavior of laptop

Sounds like you are using both iwd and NetworkManager. They will conflict.
Try to stop and disable iwd.service and try again?

Thanks for your reply! You are a hero!

You are right. They both seem to run.

I tried:

 systemctl stop iwd.service 

and than

 systemctl disable iwd.service 

This solved the problem!

Do you know why this problem occured after 2 months with unchanged settings?

Re: No internet connection and wierd behavior of laptop

Nope, that's a weird one.
If iwd was disabled and then became enabled, then it stands to reason that something, somehow, must have enabled it.
But what and how is not obvious from the information in this thread.

Edit: Btw, it's good if you change the title of your first post to start with [SOLVED], so that others can see that there is a solution in this thread
