Netctl-auto Is Not Observing Priority

I have been using netctl with a single profile for the past few months without issue. My universities network offers a (much faster) WPA network in addition to a (more available) guest network. I am trying to configure netctl-auto to connect to these profiles using the Priority parameter in the profiles. I have set Priority=100 for WPA and Priority=75 for the guest network. Whenever I reboot my machine the guest network is selected and activated by netctl-auto even though the priority is set to use WPA.
Would anyone have any insight as to why the priority is being ignored?

I am having a similar issue, and would like to have a fix. I have 3 competing profiles, two guest networks and one eduroam. The first two profiles are simple, set up pretty much exactly as examples/wireless-open, and have Priority=1 and =2, respectively. The eduroam account contains a WPAConfigSection, and has Priority=3. Netctl-auto will not ahdere to these priorities. In order to start eduroam, I need to “netctl-auto disable” both guest profiles.

Netctl profile works flawlessly unless called by netctl-auto

I have four wireless profiles in /etc/netctl and all of them work just fine when used manually, i.e. netctl enable <profile> or netctl start <profile>, but when I set up netctl-auto one of them keeps failing.
The three others are identical except for the SSID and the WPA key so I'm including just one of them here along with the one the keeps failing, but there's really nothing special here. The only difference is that the one that keeps failing has a hidden SSID.
One of the three which work:
Description='WiFi: AMPERSAND'
Interface=wlan0
Connection=wireless
Security=wpa
IP=dhcp
ESSID='ampersand'
# Prepend hexadecimal keys with \"
# If your key starts with ", write it as '""<key>"'
# See also: the section on special quoting rules in netctl.profile(5)
Key='0f20f8g0fg2'
# Uncomment this if your ssid is hidden
#Hidden=yes
The one that doesn't:
Description='WiFi: HANLUKIO'
Interface=wlan0
Connection=wireless
Security=wpa
IP=dhcp
ESSID='kjKJls83jpkskKkkUyasjqKAS'
# Prepend hexadecimal keys with \"
# If your key starts with ", write it as '""<key>"'
# See also: the section on special quoting rules in netctl.profile(5)
Key='CCyzJvIVljL9hsHSbhspPhs929c0hLssh38sPssofo382d8OS320dgSop3hfIGdi32GF'
# Uncomment this if your ssid is hidden
Hidden=yes
The wiki doesn't seem to mention anything specific concerning a hidden SSID and netctl-auto, and since all four work flawlessly when used manually, I'm out of ideas. I'll try setting $NETCTL_DEBUG on the next try and hopefully that will output something meaningful but that wont be till next week and I was curious if anyone knew off the bat what the issue might me.

As I understand man netctl.special, the netctl-auto does not honor the WPADriver parameters in the profiles, because it works on the interface level. Hence, the "Hidden=yes" is not parsed and the hidden ones are probably discarded.
You should be able to add the parameter "scan_ssid=1" (or "Hidden=yes" - not sure) to a hook for the interface in /etc/netctl/interfaces/

[SOLVED] netctl-auto not working, and I cannot remove netctl instance

Hi, I installed Arch a few days ago, netctl-auto was working yesterday but today it's not.
Note that
netctl start
works: I have a problem with netctl-auto only.
$ ping -c 3 8.8.8.8
connect: Network in unreachable
I have created only one netctl profile so far, it's called wlp4s0-VM581389-2G (wlp4s0 is the name of my wireless interface)
$ ls /etc/netctl
examples hooks interfaces wlp4s0-VM581389-2G
$ netctl list
wlp4s0-VM581389-2G
wpa_actiond is installed, and I have done
systemctl enable [email protected]
But for some reason I have some extra netctl@ instances that shouldn't be there. I am wondering if they could be the cause of netctl-auto not working properly:
$ systemctl | grep netctl
[email protected] loaded active running Automatic wireless network connection using netctl profiles

system-netctl\x2dauto.slice loaded active active system-netctl\x2dauto.slice
- What are these bullet points at the beginning of these two lines?
- Where do netctl@my\x2dnetwork.service and netctl@wlp4s0\x2dVM581389\x2d2G.service come from? They might be instances that I had enabled in the past.
These instances are not enabled and they are inactive, but they are loaded!

I have tried to get rid of them, but not managed:

system-netctl\x2dauto.slice loaded active active system-netctl\x2dauto.slice
Also, I have tried to check with
netctl-auto list
, which gives an empty output. I am guessing that it's normal, because the netctl-auto instances are managed by systemd?
Now, trying to understand what is happening to [email protected]: as seen before with systemctl | grep netctl, it is active and running.
Then I do:
$ journalctl -u [email protected]

So, a wpa_actiond session was started, but I still cannot ping 8.8.8.8. Why?

What does this mean? Which file might have been left by an unclean termination? I tried to find this info in the wpa_supplicant documentation, and by searching on Google, but couldn't find anything.
Now I am lost:
- how do I get rid of these two undesired netctl instances?
- where can I investigate next, to get netctl-auto@wlp4s0 to work?
Any help greatly appreciated :-)

What is the output of:
ls -l /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants
netctl-auto cannot be used with explicitly enabled profiles (ie, those for which you have used `netctl enable <profile>`).

Netctl-auto & netctl-ifplugd prefer wired?

Hi,
On my laptop running Arch Linux I've got both netctl-auto and netctl-ifplugd running. I have both ethernet and wireless set up in my house, and I'd like to have it set up so that it prefers wired over the wireless connection. So that if it's plugged in I can know for sure it is using the wired connection and not the wireless connection, and if I unplug it it should switch to wireless.
There's a 'priority' variable but that only applies to wireless connections and so it has no effect on the wired profile. I've gone through the manpages for netctl-auto and ifplugd and gone through the relevant sections for netcl in the wiki multiple times but there doesn't seem to be anything on getting this kind of setup.
So is there a way to have Arch prefer wired connections over wireless?

[SOLVED]netctl-auto no longer working

Can some kind person point me in the right direction to fix this? Seems to have stopped working after latest upgrade. Manually netctl start works OK. Haven't been able to find the solution in man pages or googling.

Netctl-auto cannot connect after unblocking wifi

Hello,
I'm using netctl as a connection manager. Systemd automatically starts "netctl-auto@wlp1s0" and if I boot system with wifi unblocked (rfkill) it is working fine. But when I boot my system with wifi blocked (from previous session) and after boot I manually unblock it (using rfkill unblock wifi), it doesn't pick up network. And when I try "sudo netctl-auto swtich-to <network_name> it prints out:
WPA association/authentication failed for interface 'wlp1s0'
It also happens when I'm working without connection with blocked wifi (for saving the battery) and then I turn wifi on - it also doesn't pick up a network.
I have to first do:
systemctl restart netctl-auto@wlp1s0
which blocks wifi (when I try rfkill list, I can see that this restart blocked it) and only if I immediately switch wifi on (also using rfkill), it connect as usual.
Does anyone experience same issue? Is it normal behaviour? Thanks

I think you are seeing a manifestation of this bug.
Note that I wrote that report.

Notice the "Could not read interface...". I downgraded back to 2.3-1 and the problem went away. Could this be a wpa_supplicant bug (new bug in 2.4-1) or netctl bug (incompatibility with the new wpa_supplicant)?

This also break wifi-menu by the way, so the only option now is trying a manual wpa_supplicant connect. I should mention that this morning (after troubleshooting all night with no result) I managed to connect to my AP once (while begin connected via ethernet as well). After disconnecting the ethernet cable and trying again it failed again. I have not been able to reproduce this.
Other possibly interesting information:

Netctl-auto fails every second boot

So, since about two oder three days ago, my netctl-auto fails every second boot and I can't even enable a profile manually.
I already found this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1275755
But I checked and don't have any failed units and dhcpcd is not running.
I will do some further investigation and post it here. Any ideas for solutions are welcome
Wolle

I've been having the same problem as well, it boots up just fine then after a reboot netctl-auto fails which had been going on for me for the past 30 minutes without "fixing" itself.
After I added the line:
TimeoutDHCP=30
to my profile then rebooted, it worked. It could be a fluke "fix" but worth a try. I *think* the reason it worked is that the default timeout is 10 seconds which might not be enough to establish a connection for some routers/network cards.
EDIT: I did another boot to see if it was a fluke, and it was. I'm getting a little tired of netctl-auto... I'm going to just disable it and manually do a "netctl start <profile>" after I boot up.

I have an iPad 1st generation that no longer has working volume buttons but every once in a while the sound turns on. So I know the speakers still work. I have tried resetting all settings and made sure that my side switch was auto lock not auto mute.

I have an iPad 1st generation that no longer has working volume buttons but every once in a while the sound turns on. So I know the speakers still work. I have tried resetting all settings and made sure that my side switch was auto lock not auto mute. I have tried the mystical swiping upward on the screen with 4 fingers to get some special sound menu (which I never succeeded in getting). My headphone jack doesn't work all the time either so some times my kids can hear their games and sometimes they can't. I am super frustrated at this point. So any suggestions would be great. Am I missing something basic or do we just have a soundless iPad now?

Auto brightness not working in ios6

I updated my iPad (3rd gen) to ios6, but when the update is complete i found that the auto brightness not working, when i use the ipad on dark room the brightness not changing, when i use ios5.1 it changing.. Any solution and actually the problem is on ios or in the hardware? Looking for help asap...

Well my device is different and since it is a iPhone 5, it is not being updated to iOS 6 but the issue is exactly the same. From my mind this could be up to software but also could be from an hardware issue. The thing is that even if it worked before iOS 6 for you the new software could have revealed hardware conflicts since the software interacts different with the hardware for some features. This would be the worst case scenario because I know that normally iPhone 4 devices if not the 8GB model will be out of warranty. For me this is just a small issue since my warranty is still one year :(
I have contacted apple care for this issue and have get the info that it will be escalated to the engineering team, for further investigation. As I know there was also an issue with some proximity sensors at the beginning if the iPhone 4 models and I think there was an software fix for a lot of them. Hope for the best!!!
I have also done a lot of Troubleshooting, reseted settings, content and settings, restored in dfu and recovery mode, restored with new .ipsw (iPhone OS), restored on different pc (so even this step gas downloaded a totally new .ipsw file), first on a Mac!
Next step wis that I will let the battery drain low entirely, a Troubleshooting idea of an friend. This might empower the entire hardware for a restart. I am not really believing in this step but I will give it a try :)

Hi KMS, check the codec used between that GW using the FXO and the CTI RP.
Check also the Calling Seach Space
GW should be able to reach CTI Route Point and CTI ports partition.
If you try other extension it works fine?

Auto keyframe and auto transition not working

auto keyframe and auto transition not working and I have a creative cloud, in addition the auto keyframe works in the getting startel lessons....

In order to use these you need to have the autokey frame and transition selected
OFF ON
and have the first key checked then move the playhead to the new position and it should add the transition.
Did you try this and it is not working?.

Auto-Flow not formatting to master

I am placing a Word 2010 document into an InDesign document with facing pages. The Word document text places correctly, but the formatting does not. For example, if I have three columns in both of my Master pages, autoflow places it in two columns, and the top and bottom margins (height) are too high and too low. Any idea what might be going wrong? Here's the Master pages.
Here's the first spread after auto-flow (note two columns):
And the second spread (two columns and wrong margins).
Thanks!

Steve and Peter,
Thank you for responding (I was expecting an E-mail notification of responses, otherwise I would have replied earlier).
As it turns out, it appears something was wrong with my Master page. I had a similar Master page in the same document, and it auto-flowed the same Word text without any problem, so I just made a copy of that Master page and used it with full success.
I (thoughtlessly) deleted the original Master page, I probably wouldn't be able to recreate the same problem to figure out what happened. Practically, I don't need to know anyway, since everything is working fine now!
Thanks again.

Help on error message: Naming convention for menu enhancements not observed

Hi all,
I was trying to enhance a transaction and got into entering function code without following naming conventions (i.e. function codes should start with '+'). It is not allowing me to change it by throwing an error "Naming convention for menu enhancements not observed".
This question was previously posted in the thread -- Re: Error in SMOD ?
which was not answered. Can you help me in resolving this error or revert my modifications that I have done while enhancing?
I appreciate any help in regard.
Thank you,
Deepak

You shouldn't get this message if you just create the implementation. I feel that you are trying to change the definition part of the standard extension, using SMOD transaction. That's bad
If you want to enhance, create a project using CMOD transaction, enter the extension name, then simply double-click the +... function code and enter your text.

Auto dial not working

Auto dial not working
I'm using an iPad 4, with WiFi and Cellular and iOS 8.1.3
In the past if I was searching for a hotel and found one I only had to tap on the phone number and it would dial using either Skype or MagicJack. It worked using Wi-Fi or my data plan. It was an absolutely valuable function especially when traveling.
Now, when I click on a phone number, it says that it's going to exit the program (like Safari) and start a new program. When I click, Ok, nothing happens.
I must have inadvertently changed some setting.
Skype works, MagicJack works, but I must dial the number manually.
I have tried turning "Handoff" off and on then rebooting, turning FaceTime off and on and rebooting (and every combination of those two programs and actions).
To say the least, I am frustrated because it must be something obvious. (to everyone else!)
Any ideas as to how to how I can get it to dial automatically again?
Thanks for any assistance.

IPAD user guide for IOS 8 is available on line at apple -
you can download it in IBOOK or PDF format to refer to when you can't get connected to see it on-line
http://support.apple.com/manuals
Handoff is only for using with multiple devices - Iphone/Ipad/ipod
This is the bit in Handoff on Phone calls
Phone calls
If your iPhone (with iOS 8) is nearby, you can make and receive phone calls on your other iOS devices and Mac computers. All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network, and signed into FaceTime and iCloud using the same Apple ID.
Make a phone call on iPad. Tap a phone number in Contacts, Calendar, or Safari. You can also tap a recent contact in the multitasking screen.
Disable iPhone Cellular Calls. On your iPhone, go to Settings > FaceTime, then turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
You may have to use Face Time to make calls from the IPAD -- there are page or 2 on that --
