[Solved] Can't connecto to wifi using NetworkManager

Hello,
for some reasons, I can't connect to my WiFi network using NetworkManager. What's weird, is that my network and all the other networks around coming from my neighbours' houses are displayed, but I can't connect to any of them, including mine...
The wired connection works just fine (that's why I'm able to post this message), but I can't get the wireless one to work. NetworkManager is configured to use dhcpcd for dhcp by the way.
When I try to connect I usually don't get any notifications, but if I press several times the connect button this will be displayed
Typing systemctl --type=service outputs this.

LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
34 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
I know my wireless chip works fine because this computer could connect to network with arch previously.
Any idea what the problem could be? Do not hesitate to ask for more information. I just didn't post a lot because I didn't know which ones would be useful
Thanks

Can my ipad 3 wifi use an internet dongle

can my ipad 3 wifi use an internet dongle attached to it????

No. The iPad has no USB port to attach a dongle to it. And while the Camera connection Kit may support USB drives, I doubt any dongle would get recognized by the iPad through it.
Your best bet is too look for a portable Wifi hotspot or Mifi device.

Disable and Stop netctl and enable ans start NetworkManager. netctl services include the device name; find out which permutations are running with systemctl.

[SOLVED] Can't connect to wifi if Ethernet is connected

I have a arch desktop with samba and ssh configured connected to a WiFi router/ADSL2 modem via ethernet.
I was not able to connect any of my mobile devices (phones and tablet) or my netbook (running windows 7 basic) to the WiFi router suddenly a few weeks back. The issue resolved when I removed the PC Ethernet cable from the router (when I disconnected the PC from router).
My router is D-Link DSL 2730 U
On logging into another user (not main user) everything works fine.
Nothing changes when I stopped samba and ssh services. Infact these services which are configured as root, start before the login and work fine with the other user.
I use console without any gui to login. I startx manually after logging in. This problem does not occur on logging in. It starts only when I startx.
On using wireshark to capture traffic on the ethernet port, this line keeps repeating:
Time source destination protocol length(in bytes) information
0.007238000 192.168.1.100 224.0.0.56 UDP 1334 Source port: 38854 Destination port: 46198
I have no idea what to do beyond this. The internet works fine when logged into main user. However other devices are not able to connect.
Please tell me how to resolve this and what is happening.
Last edited by craterib (2015-02-26 02:05:13)

The devices can see the SSID however connecting takes too long, many times it fails and in the rare instance it connects internet does not work (its too slow so web pages say server timed out) neither does samba (this is also too slow I think, using ES explorer in android just keeps trying to connect till it displays server offline or wlan not connected error).
I use cinnamon updated to the last version. So startx launches cinnamon.
I don't know much about media servers. I have vlc installed but not set it up as media server. I installed and used VLC remote (android app) to control the vlc player from android, however this works without a hitch in the other user. I use samba to stream videos if needed.

[SOLVED] Can't boot Windows 8 using grub2. invalid EFI file path

English is not my native language. Please excuse typing errors.
I have just successfully installed Arch linux with grub2 as its boot manager. I
followed the arch beginner guide. I've used grub before and I'm familiar with
it, so chose to use grub instead for efistub. I installed os-prober and
ran grub-mkconfig to create the grub.cfg file. The problem now is that I recieve
an error when I try to boot windows 8. I have two drives (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb)
and I believe both are EFI-systems.
However, it's not very important for me to use grub, so if booting into windows
8 is easier using efistub, I will try that.
The computer is ASUS ux32vd with a hybrid disk with 25GB on the SSD and 500GB on
the hard drive. I believe the SSD part is used by Windows.
This is the first error I recieved when I tried to boot windows.
error: can't find command `drivemap'.
error: invalid EFI file path.
Press any key to continue...
Then I tried to follow this post
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150183 and made a new boot
entry "Windows 82". And I got a new error:
error: unspecified search type.
error: file '/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi' not found
Press any key to continue...

EDIT:
I gave up trying to make grub work, so I uninstalled grub and deleted all the grub files I could find.
# pacrem grub-efi-x86_64
# rm -fr /boot/grub
That last one I came to regret later on. So I installed rEFInd using the archlinux beginners guide. When I then tried to boot into windows It told me that /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod was not found. I then reinstalled grub-efi-x86_64 and copied /usr/lib/grub/x86_64 to /boot/grub. Now everything works fine.

The EFI stub loader is a Linux-only boot loader; however, it is possible to use the EFI stub loader in conjunction with a separate boot manager, such as rEFInd or gummiboot. In such a configuration, you'd use the boot manager to select the OS to boot (Windows or Linux, and possibly the specific Linux kernel), and the boot loader (the Windows loader or the EFI stub loader built into a specific kernel) will then take over booting the OS. In Arch, this is often easier to configure than is GRUB, since GRUB is very complex and its automated tools to help with setting things up often get it wrong.
This is the first error I recieved when I tried to boot windows.
error: can't find command `drivemap'.
error: invalid EFI file path.
Press any key to continue...
The "drivemap" command in GRUB is generally used when booting a BIOS-mode boot loader, and in fact your "Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" and "Windows 8 (loader) (on /dev/sda4)" GRUB entries are both built as for BIOS-mode Windows installations -- but the fact that your disks both use GPT means that Windows won't boot in BIOS mode on your computer. (This is one of the many things that the GRUB setup scripts can get wrong.)
Then I tried to follow this post
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150183 and made a new boot
entry "Windows 82". And I got a new error:
error: unspecified search type.
error: file '/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi' not found
Press any key to continue...
Both your "Windows 8" and "Windows 82" entries refer to an EFI boot loader file called EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi on your EFI System Partition (ESP). This should be correct, but your Boot Info Script output doesn't show any evidence of such a file. Sometimes Boot Info Script misses such things, so you may want to check it just to be sure. Your ESP is /dev/sda1, and it looks like it's being mounted at /boot/efi by default, so check for the /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft directory tree, and for /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi in particular. If that file isn't present, then something is wrong -- perhaps you mistakenly erased the ESP when you installed Linux, thus wiping out the Windows boot loader; or perhaps the file was accidentally deleted somewhere along the way. (Note that on FAT, which the ESP uses, case is irrelevant, and in fact case varies between the filenames reported by Boot Info Script and what's recorded in your configuration files.)
You do have another boot loader file that may be a duplicate of the Windows boot loader: EFI/BOOT/bkpbootx64.efi. This filename is generally created by Ubuntu's "Boot Repair" tool, which IMHO can do as much harm as good, especially on a system that's not booting Ubuntu. If you ran this tool, though, it's conceivable that bkpbootx64.efi is a copy of the Windows boot loader, so copying it to EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi might get things working. OTOH, the Windows boot loader relies on other files to do its job, so if they're not present, copying the Windows boot loader to its original location won't be sufficient.
If you can't get things working based on the preceding suggestions, I recommend you run a Windows repair tool. These are accessible from a Windows recovery disc. Such disc images are readily available on the Internet, but I don't happen to have any links handy. Try Microsoft's own site; images obtained from random third-party sites might contain malware. Once you've done this, chances are the computer will boot directly into Windows. You'll then need to either restore GRUB as the default boot loader or install another boot loader or boot manager. You can use the Windows "bcdedit" command to do the former, as in:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\arch-grub\grubx64.efi
You'll need to type this from an Administrator Command Prompt window.

Can't connect to WiFi via NetworkManager

Hey,
took me a whole day to complete the Arch installation again.... Still having a lot of issues like always.
Now I am in Cinnamon. I installed the network-manager-applet and gnome-keyring, but when I try to connect it doesn't prompt me for a password. I can type in the password in network setting, but I still cannot connect.
Any ideas?

When I run nm-applet in terminal i get the following output:
(nm-applet:884) libnotifiy-WARNING **: Failed to connect to proxy
** (nm-applet:884): WARNING **: Failed to show notification: GDBus.Error.or.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files
I am not using a proxy though.
The GDBus error looks similar to this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p1339387 .
But I have gnome-keyring installed...

[Solved] Can't type ~ in terminal using AwesomeWM

I'm running Arch on a System76 Pangolin Performance (panp9 model) laptop. I'm using AwesomeWM, and I can't type the tilde character in any of the terminal apps I have installed. RXVT-Unicode is no go. Xterm is no go. MATE Terminal is no go. I can type backticks without any difficulty, but if I hold down shift and press the same key in a terminal, I get nothing.
The weird part is that I can run xev, bang on the tilde key, and see a response every time. I can type tildes in Sublime Text 3 and GVim. I can even type a tilde into Opera, LibreOffice, and the GIMP's text tool.
I've tried googling this, but I haven't found anything. I use the Source Code Pro font in my terminals, but I use the exact same font in Sublime Text 3 and GVim. I haven't seen anything in the Arch or AwesomeWM wikis, either. Does anybody have any pointers?

[Solved] can't turn on wifi

Greetings. I have had wireless working for quite a while, uninstalled networkmanager and reinstalled but am having difficulty getting wireless working again. In particular, when I run
ip link set wlan0 up
I get back
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted
Running
rfkill list
gives
6: phy1: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
8: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
Googling indicated some people get this error when their wireless switch has been turned off. Switching it on/off on the physical device seems to have no effect. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? Thanks.

Can't connecto ti Wifi unless i reboot my MBP?!?!

I've recently got a new MBP 15" and started having a lot of Wifi issues.
At some point it looses connection with my router, and then to be able to reconnect, only way is to reboot it?!?!?!?
This is insaine...and I'm pretty ****** off... all my other devices work perfectly with the same router...and my laptop is like 1m away from it...
Anybody has any idea what could this be?!?
Btw, I'm on 10.9.4. Yosemite works really bad with my most important app's so there's no way of me updating my system

Can you elaborate a bit? As far as I know, these same machines, well, almost the same were working before Yosemite went out. Same RAM, same SSD, haswell CPU's...what has changed so much that my Wifi ***** so bad?
BTW, Yosemite works like crap for my business, so there's no way I'm moving towards it any time soon.

Can two blue tooth headsets use the same iPad?

as the header says can me and my wife using blue tooth head phone both connect to the same ipad to listen to music or a film?
cheers
pete

The wireless Bluetooth technology used by the iPad allows for the audio signal to http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3647. While you can normally use only one set of headphones at a time with the iPad, third-party accessories may offer a solution.
For example, some users have http://science.opposingviews.com/use-two-bluetooth-headsets-same-time-15106.html with add-ons like a Kokkia multi stream Bluetooth transmitter (starting around $60 at the http://store.kokkia.com/adaptersdongles.aspx), which promises to stream the audio from an iOS device to two different headsets. Depending on your iPad model, you might need additional adapters to fit a multi stream Bluetooth transmitter to the tablet’s connection port, so you may want to do more research before you buy.
Although you lose the freedom of a wireless connection, using two sets of wired headphones and a Y-shaped splitter for the iPad’s headphone jack is another way to share the sound. Some headphone splitters can be found online for around $5 or less.
 Cheers, Tom
