NetworkManager fails multiple times to connect to wirless network

Hello Arch-Community!
I run a Dell Vostro V131 and a Dell XPS 13 with an up to date Arch Linux with Gnome Shell as desktop enviroment. My internet connection is established by an AVM Fritzbox 7490 over wireless lan. The WLAN connection works with a windows pc and my android devices absolutely stable. As soon I get into the reach of wlan, my smartphone connects without any issues.
With Arch I've got the following problem: After a restart or standby mode, the NetworkManager tries to connect to my wireless lan. After about 30 seconds it fails and the icon vanishes out of the notification bar. After a short moment it tries again, it fails, it tries, it fails... until it magically works and the computer is logged into my wireless network.
To get some logs i killed the NetworkManager task and restarted it by hand. In the following log you see NetworkManager starting and failing a couple of logins with the message "association took too long, failing activation". At the end NetworkManager reports "Activation (wlp18s0) successful, device activated" and wlan works... I didn't change a thing.
I would be very thankful if someone might be able to help me figure out what might go wrong.
Thanks!
Christoph

Thanks for your reply.
We use classes12 because we had no needs to upgrade, like TIMESTAMP...
Maybe we could try change driver.
And nothing in the code loop to try that many times. Like written in the example code we made a little sample page just to test the connection. That's all.
I don't have any control of the pool connection. But the people that are doing it says to me that there is no settings configured to attempt connection 200 times.

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

JDBC tries multiple times to connect on a bad login

Hi, we got this problem when there's a bad login (ora-01017) from a user.
Note that everything works fine for a successful login.
So when a bad login occur it takes at least 2-3 minutes to catch the exception.
During that time we can see in the JDBC tracing that there's multiple tries to connect, about 200.
We use classes12 and Oracle 10g (RAC).
LOAD_BALANCE=ON
FAILOVER=ON
SERVER = DEDICATED
I did try with DriverManager and OracleDatasource with no difference.
Connection con = null; try{ compteur = compteur+1; trace.ecrireLogEnv("compteur : "+compteur); //DriverManager.setLogWriter(new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream(chemin.substring(0,chemin.indexOf("classes"))+"log//test_connexion.txt"))); //con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,motPass); OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource(); ods.setURL(url); ods.setLogWriter(new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream(chemin.substring(0,chemin.indexOf("classes"))+"log//test_connexion_ds.txt"))); con = ods.getConnection(user,motPass); etat = true; } catch( SQLException e ){ msg = e.getMessage(); trace.ecrireLogEnv("mesg "+ msg); } finally { if( con != null ) { try { con.close( ); } catch( Exception e ) { } } }
Anyone can help?
Caroline

Thanks for your reply.
We use classes12 because we had no needs to upgrade, like TIMESTAMP...
Maybe we could try change driver.
And nothing in the code loop to try that many times. Like written in the example code we made a little sample page just to test the connection. That's all.
I don't have any control of the pool connection. But the people that are doing it says to me that there is no settings configured to attempt connection 200 times.

Time capsule connect to existing network cannot connect MBP via ethernet

I have set up my time capsule via Airport utility to "connect to existing network", which is my Netcomm wireless router (which is my DHCP server). MBP connects perfectly to time capsule if wireless is on, presumably via the Netcomm. But if I plug the MBP into an ethernet port on the time capsule it is not recognized and it gets a self assigned ip 169.254.x.y.
Airport utility is very restrictive in the options and is basically useless in resolving the obvious ip conflict. Is there any trick to getting both the wireless and ethernet to work ? It should not be this difficult....
The time capsule 2T disk is useless as a backup device over wireless.

Is that the exact wording of the option you chose? In AirPort Utility I see options of "Create a wireless network", "Join a wireless network", and "Extend a wireless network". (Perhaps the difference is due to language usage.) The option to "Join a Wireless Network" is only useful for sharing disks and printers. It doesn't support Ethernet ports.
if I plug the MBP into an ethernet port on the time capsule it is not recognized
With some options there's a checkbox to "Allow Ethernet Clients". If you see that, try it.

How to access time capsulewhen connected to other networks using back to my mac and iclous

so i need help on using the back to my mac through iCloud to connect to my time capsule so i can access my time capsule when im connected to other networks like at work, firends house, school so i can get my files and use the timemachine

Is the TC the main router in the network.. if not it doesn't work??
Did you read the instructions Apple give for connection via BTMM?
Most important.. you must have full access to icloud from behind whatever firewall your workplace, school etc has otherwise it won't work.
Finally, don't use TM over BTMM.. it is far too slow and is going to corrupt the backup.. there is a huge amount of checking going back and forth.. the general internet upload speed is not good enough. Just use cloud for backup on the move.. forget try to connect to TM. Or carry a 2.5" drive which are light and portable.

Hi all,
We are able to resolve the above issue with the below solution.
Root cause of the issue:
You may have a temp directory in the path C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp. You got the above mentioned exception because of the temp directory path having spaces_+ in it.
Solution:
1. Create a new directory called TEMP in a different location for ex: C:\TEMP
2. Now, Right click on My computer --> Properties --> Advanced --> click on Environment Variables.
3. You should be having TEMP and TMP as variables under user variables section pointing to the C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp path.
4. Edit the TEMP and TMP variables and mention C:\TEMP in the variable value.
5. Deinstall and re-install OBIEE 11g.
Happy OBIEE 11g installation!!
Thanks,

Hard Drive failed now time capsule connecting to backup volume for hours

My main hard drive went bad. I had a spare in my machine. I installed osx on the spare and then migrated all of my data from my time capsule (which had worked like a champ). I am now running fine again and I have all my files, music, apps, everything I had before my hard drive went bad. Now the only problem I have is when I try to connect to time capsule now, there is a little window which reads "connecting to backup volume". It has been this way for hours and I suspect there is something amiss. If it were simply preparing and looking to see what has changed, it would have connected. Can anyone help me out on this problem? I would truly appreciate it.

John,
*Reboot Time Capsule*
Unplug the TC from the wall outlet.
Wait 10-15 seconds.
Re-plug it in again.
After it has restarted (30-60 seconds), does it show up in Airport Utilities?
If not try "Rescan" again from the File Menu.
Next, if you want to continue using the TC for Time Machine backups do the following:
*Reselect Your Time Machine Disk*
Go to System Preferences --> Time Machine.
Use the slider on the left to turn “OFF” Time Machine.
Click the "Change Disk..." button.
Select "None" and click "Stop Backing Up".
Now click "Choose Backup Disk" and reselect your backup hard disk again.
Now use the slider on the left to turn “ON” Time Machine.
Close System Preferences and try backing up again.
*Full Backup After Full Restore*
Bear in mind that in all cases Time Machine will perform a full backup after a full restore. This is normal. Time Machine will resume incremental backups after the full backup has completed. To view previous backups, Control-click or right-click the Time Machine icon in your Dock or Option-click the Time Machine menu extra and Choose "Browse Other Time Machine Disks," then select your previous backup volume. You will enter Time Machine and be able to browse your previous back ups and restore files. (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338)
So even on unchanged hardware, if you reinstall your system software and restore your user data, Time Machine starts anew, and you will not be able to resume backing up with the same history as the previous backups.
While there may be ways to fool/hack Time Machine into recognizing previous backups without performing another full backup, they are likely rather elaborate.
Ultimately, though, in a couple of months, all the effort to preserve old backups may seem pointless. After all, Time Machine will eventually purge away that data anyways as it replaces it with new files.
It may simply be easier to begin a fresh series of backups while saving the previous backups until your satisfied that you have enough history built up. Then delete the old backups.
Let us know if the above helped.
Cheers!

Multiple Time Capsule connection

I have a 0.5 TB Time Capsule which is full and slow. I just bought a 2TB Time Capsule. I am thinking of using both on the same network. Here is what am thinking:
1- Disconnect the Old TC
2- Connect the New TC in its place.
3- Once the New TC is working, connect an Ethernet cable from the New TC's ethernet port to the WAN port of the Old TC.
Question:
1- Would this arrangement work as a Bridge?
2- Would I be able to access the Time Machine Backups on the Old TC?
Any help and suggestions will be appreciated.

Yes, it should work fine.
Reset the old TC to factory.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Plug it in by ethernet as you have suggested.. and setup in bridge mode.. you can then access it via the new TC.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

has anything to do with wifi. See this thread. What kernel are you running?
Back to the Wifi. If you can see the access point in wifi-menu, then your network is working. After you try to connect, what does ip addr report?
After entering wifi-menu, I get the following messages:

I select the first one which is my wifi, and then enter OK, then it shows that:

I entered OK, and get the following messages:

I entered the passwd of my wifi, but the following messages are listed:

Do you want to keep the generated profile('wlp3s0-TP-LINK_2A5F4A')?
<YES> <NO>
I am sure the passwd for my wifi is right, so why does it show CONNECTING FAILED?
The kernel version is 3.13.5-1-ARCH
Really appreciate your help.

Multiple Time Capsules on a wireless network possible

Hi,
New to this forum and Macs for that matter. So please be gentle with my idiotic questions below:
Currently running out of disk space on my 500GB Time Capsule.
Don't want to just coonect an external drive into the USB port of the TC (on the belief that transfer speed will be slow).
Can I just go out and buy say another 500 GB TC and connect it to the existing network, so that I can continue to share files wirelessly across 2 Windows notebook and Macbook Air for another 500GB?
Any comments/advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
You might repost this in the TimeCapsule forum here:

Yes I know getting around in these forums is not easy for the first few years

Multiple Time Capsules on Wireless Home Network?

I have a relatively new MacBook Pro and Time Capsule. Everyone was actually working well until my husband got the same type of computer and logged into our wireless network. Somehow, until he turned his computer off, I was unable to back up to my Time Capsule. All of my sharing is off. This is before he even connected his own Time Capsule to the home wireless network. The folks in the Apple store suggested that two Time Capsules could be on the same network with no problem. Any ideas?

Are you sure that it will be slower? If you are using a wireless network to connect your machines to the Time Capsule, your bottleneck will be the wireless network, not the fact that the HDD will be connected by USB. Granted the external HDD may be slower than TC's internal HDD. I feel an additional HDD would be the most bang for your buck.

When i try to download 7.1 it is SOOO slow (estimated 5 hrs?!) and then it always fails. Ive tried downloading it multiple times on my iTunes

i can't download the 7.1OS on my iphone! i've tried multiple times on my itunes & my iphone and at first it goes soooooo slow (estimated time 5 hrs on my itunes!) and then it fails everytime.
on my itunes, it says something about a network error....
help!!

I don't have any of that -- i have to update through itunes because my phone has an issue where i have to restore it, and before i can restore it, it forces you to update.
The update download shows 1.13 GB and anywhere from 13-15 hours to download.
the download has failed three times, and when it fails it doesnt resume where it left off, it starts over again.
I had let it download all day, and it was down to under 30 mins left and it failed (said it lost network connection) -- and I had to start all over again. Right now it is showing 15 hours remaining, and it is literally downloading at the rate of about 0.1 MB every 5 seconds.
And no, there is nothing wrong with my connection , i have FIOS and download everything else very fast.
In the meantime, I have no phone working at all because im forced to do this before i can restore it.

NetworkManager fails multiple times to connect to wirless network
