Hi. I’m having problems with configuring FreeRADIUS v3.2 for Manjaro XFCE. I’ve done this without problem on both Ubuntu 22.04 and Pop!_OS 22.04 with FreeRADIUS v3.0.
Steps to reproduce:
sudo pacman -S community/freeradiussudo systemctl enable --now freeradius.service
And here are the following commands and their outputs/errors:
systemctl status freeradius.service
× freeradius.service - FreeRADIUS high performance RADIUS server.

I’ve done some research regarding with the errors above and even found similar topic in this forum but the solution “un-commenting the leap section in the eap config file” didn’t work for me. Hope someone can help. Thanks!
