Netctl-auto stoped working [Solved]

After update yesterday, netctl-auto stoped working. Netctl start MyProfile works OK.
Something I have missed during update?

I think another version of netctl has been pushed to the repos. Maybe you should try updating again and see if your issues are resolved by the updated package.
pacman -Qi netctl

[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
● netctl@my\x2dnetwork.service loaded failed failed Networking for netctl profile my-network
● netctl@wlp4s0\x2dVM581389\x2d2G.service loaded failed failed Networking for netctl profile wlp4s0-VM581389-2G

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!
$ systemctl is-enabled netctl@my\x2dnetwork.service

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

$ systemctl disable netctl@my\x2dnetwork.service
$ systemctl | grep netctl

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?
Investigating further:

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>`).

[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 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/
edit: wrong semantics striked; see below.

I have been Recieving a message 'Photoshop CS5 has been stoped Working' after

Double click on more then one of the Photoshop.exe stopped working entries to see the details like I showed. The details may show what is failing. Like mine showed it was in Photoshop ScripUIflex module. Used by scripts with Dialogs a would guess. Check several of yours. See if its always the same failure. The one you show is in widows ntdll.dll part of windows. On my system there are two ntdll.dll one 32bit version and one 64bit version. What were you trying to do at the time of failure

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.

Netctl-auto@wlp3s0.service broken after wpa_supplicant upgrade

A few hours ago, I upgraded from wpa_supplicant-2.3-1 to wpa_supplicant-2.4-1. Subsequently [email protected] stopped working. After I started it, it would be reported as "active (running)" but fail to connect to any WIFI network (I wouldn't get assigned a DHCP IP address):

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)?
There's nothing special about the profile files in /etc/netctl. In addition to the ones for wired network, I have a few files named like "wlp3s0-XXX" and they look like this (password crossed out):
Connection=wireless
Description='Edward'
Interface=wlp3s0
Security=wpa
ESSID='Edward'
Key='????'
Hidden=yes
IP=dhcp

I'm having exactly the same problem.

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.

Cd/dvd drive stoped working

My cd writer/dvd drive has stoped working without any error messages or anything that could explain what went wrong. My computer is a year old and the drive was rarely used. how can I fix this?

Chad, welcome to the forum.
Check in the Device Manager to see if the drive is listed. If it is, uninstall it from the system using the Device Manager and reboot. This may solve your problem. If not, check to see if there is a firmware update available for the drive. A firmware update can solve many problems. Let us know if either of these solutions work.

HT201401 My phone just stoped working. It will not turn on or anything. and i have only had it for 1 month

My phone just stoped working, what do i do??

Did you managed to solve this issue? Performing a hard reset usually helps.
Press and hold both the Lock button and Home button simultaneously until screen fades.
Continue to hold until the Apple logo lights up.

Iphone5 ringer stoped working?

Hi All
My Iphone 5 ringer stoped working this morning with vibrate only working for incoming calls and txts, emails, etc. I have tried trouble shooting by checking the do no disturb was off, phone ringer selected and working on manual test, hard rest using home and lock button and I cant get the ringer to work. I also noticed on my diagnostics and usage logs that for the first tiem (have the phone a little over a week) there is one crash log for the phone going into low batter (below 20%) and also two crash logs for Vodafone app (I have disabled GPS for this app). Could they be related? Any insight to get my ringer back working on incoming calls would be appreciated..
Thanks All
John

Hi Folks
I got it fixed and reset the Vodafone app giving location permissions after resetting them in settings/general/reset. This had proven the app does not work well without the GPS access to the handset. Will see if it affects battery use over the next few days. Am monitoring battery use and thus far it's working well with heavy initial use and set up.
Lol... I solved the ringer issue by ringing apple to find my hard switch on the side of the phone above the volume switches was on silent.... Dooh!!!! Problem solved!!!
Best Regards
John

Netctl-auto and dropbox

Hi, I've been reading the wiki. The only difference is my interface name is wlp2s0 instead of wlan0. So I went to /etc/netctl/interfaces and I created a new file called wlp2s0 with the contents
ExecUpPost="su -c 'DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/dropboxd &' root || true"
ExecDownPre="killall dropbox"
However, this doesn't seem to do anything. I've disabled the "Start Dropbox on system startup" option, but everytime I restart, there's no dropbox icon in the dock like there normally is. What am I doing wrong?
Internet roaming still seems to work, even after putting the computer to sleep.

Wonderwoofy,
I'm having a similar problem with my [email protected] connecting at startup. It loads fine but stays on connecting....... . I can stop and restart it using
# systemctl stop/start dropbox@dmy
and it works as expected. I can use the same method that boogerland describes in the first post and it works fine but I wanted to get it to work with systemd if possible. Any thoughts? Here's my [email protected]

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.

Lenovo Ideapad S400 touchpad stoped working

My touchpad stoped working and need help

Update!
This is by no means solved, but I do think it's >improved<.
I found a newer driver (v. 11.4.7.1). The mouse pointer still has some delay, but it isn't as unbearable as it was before. I do find that the left click "button" is not always reliable (the single tapping is more reliable). But it's better and corroborates my thought that this is mainly a software issue. I also disabled all the multi-finger functions.
The link for the new driver is here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS032199

My computers hard drive has stoped working, how can I retrieve my Itunes library from my computer?

My computers hard drive has stoped working. How can I retrieve my itunes library? My back ups were on this hard drive as well.
When I brought my computer to be fixed they said they would retrieve photos and music and documents but loose my programs. That being said I am not sure if I will recover my music from itunes because it may fall under the program category. I support itunes by purchasing from itunes, but now i am in a position where i may loose years of purchassing music and it has me feeling a little bit sick to be honest...the stress this is causing is really big. DÙoes anyone have any experience with this type of problem?
Help is appreciated, thank you.

If the data is recoverable from the drive then they should have recovered the entire iTunes folder which includes the library database. Restore this into the <User's Music> folder of a replacement system, install iTunes, and it should be as before.
See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Even if you don't have one there should be some useful links...
