I entered the commands before reboot, no change; entered them again, still no change.
When I reboot I get the network notification saying that network is connected but limited, no wifi shows. Still to get connected must enable dhcpcd
thank you for pointing that out but I am pretty sure I answered that in details, guess you thought you didn’t read it))) it’s right there (2 days ago, don’t know how to put here)
anyways no troubles
update, yesterday upgraded to kernel 6.6.7-4
again (no disrespect) I tried going back to previous kernel 6.1.68-1, that was working before, not anymore
my system, connection, or anything else has not changed since I installed manjaro 2 years ago. everything was rock solid until I started this tread
If indeed literally nothing changed - except what was “changed” by the update
(and no one else was affected by it in this way)
then it is very much a mystery to me - and I have no suggestions on how to approach this.
Sorry.
the network icon is inactive (although at boot says connected but limited…but not connectes) , the wifi is on but no connection shows, only way to connect still dhcpcd…mystery alright and crazy
… sounds a bit like a (accidentally?) messed up NetworkManager configuration.
You likely did check that already.
(right click the icon - edit connections (or however it is in the english locale) and check every aspect in the six tabs available, especially the IPv4 and IPv6 options (of which you really only need one)
addition:
in my Manjaro VM
this service
systemd-networkd-wait-online.service
is definitely NOT active
althoug it’s preset/default condition is “enabled”
it is “disabled” - but I did definitely not set it to “disabled”
I hadn’t change anything in network manager, once the connection was configured, never went there
anyway, did it again just now, also disabling IPv6, no change
isn’t there a way to uninstall networkmanager, disable all conflicts, and reinstall networkmanager easily?
or go to some default scheme?
this disables that?
cause I try it everytime I boot
for conflicts, I mean at some point in the thread I was told to disable dhcpcd.service, iw.service etc, but if nothing changes the it was a thing not relevant to say by me (guess on possible on windows)
I’m not going back to that - they where trying to making sure that no conflicting services are running - interfering with one another.
… but didn’t you just say that you literally didn’t change nothing …
That is clearly not true after having read this …
because that service isn’t active by default
if it was active, it was you who did it
The only thing you need active is NetworkManager.service
… what does the result look like? systemctl status NetworkManager.service
… you don’t need sudo for that, btw. …
next I’d go to check on
usb tethering
your phone - to use it’s connection
which also does not seem to work - for some likely very different reason …
… or wireless hotspot from it - which again points to NetworkManager or a (wlan) driver issue
Well, no, you didn’t; at least, not with any clarity. You seem to be contradicting yourself. Now, you write:
However, earlier you wrote:
… and this:
… and this:
Exactly which kernel version actually did work for you before you had this trouble? Can you not see how non-specific your responses have been?
If I understand your vague claims, you haven’t opened NetworkManager to see if a WiFi connection is configured, and not working seems to be based purely on the state of the status icon.
Let me see whether I understand the situation:
you are connecting wirelessly (Wlan) to your phone, which you configured as a wlan hotspot and thus you are using the phones internet connection.
Correct?
That would mean that there is no problem with the wlan adapter in your computer.
Make sure that this service is disabled (or even uninstall dhcpcd) - you have NetworkManager active and it should deal with all aspects of your connection.
