[SOLVED] netctl not bringing up my network at boot

I recently converted from netcfg to netctl and but my network is not coming up ever at boot time. Once the machine is booted I can bring it up manually using
netcfg start ethernet-static
It is obviously an static IP address and I copied the netctl sample script and then modified it. Here is my ethernet-static profile.

Nothing from netcfg, or any other network service, is leading to a conflict for configuring the network.
systemctl list-units | grep net
[email protected] loaded active exited A basic static ethernet connection
network.target loaded active active Network
I do have two ethernet ports but from what I can tell the naming of the two ports is consistent.
netctl status shows that my ethernet-static profile is the only profile and is active.
I know I could connect without using netctl but want to get this working. Any ideas?

I fixed the problem. I changed the device name of the ethernet device I wanted to use using an udev-rule, according to the notes on the Network Configuration wiki page, to make sure that it wasn't a naming conflict and that solved it.

[SOLVED] NetworkManager "not authorized to control networking" error

I'm installing arch with XFCE on an eeepc-1005ha. My wired ethernet works fine, both with dhcpcd eth0 and the NetworkManager (which connects automatically on boot). I'm following the instructions from this link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … nager#XFCE
I installed the NetworkManager and the xfce notify package. From the configuration setting part of the linked page, I disabled my internet connections with these commands:
ip link set down eth0
ip link set down wlan0
I added NetworkManager to the DAEMONS array, after dbus, per the instructions. I still get a "not authorized to control networking" error when I select a wireless network, so I followed the troubleshooting instructions. This is my .xinitrc file:
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
exec startxfce4 --with-ck-launch
#exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
The exec line that's not commented out comes from the XFCE configuration instructions. The troubleshooting instructions for NetworkManager say to add
exec ck-launch-session wm
to .xinitrc, where wm is whatever window manager I'm using. Should
exec ck-launch-session startxfce4
or
exec dbus-launch ck-launch-session startxfce4
work? Neither of those options, nor the commented exec line in .xinitrc work.
Finally, I followed the NetworkManager troubleshooting instructions and added my user to the wheel group, using this command:
gpasswd -a myusername wheel
After a reboot, everything else still works (wired ethernet, xfce4, etc.) but the error upon connecting to wireless is still the same.
Any ideas? My user (username: myusername) does have full sudo privileges for this hostname.

Both my flatmate and I are having this problem too, I am using openbox with consolekit and he is using awesome, again with consolekit.
We both use slim, me through inittab and he through the slim daemon.

[Solved] Netctl - Cannot connect to wireless network

Hi,
since I replaced netcfg with netctl a week ago, it worked just fine. Today, however, i wanted to connect to a different wireless network and i couldn't make it work.
Here's some information about how i connected to my home network (which worked fine):
I changed the netcfg config files to match netctl syntax (as described in the wiki)
I activated netctl-auto@wlan0
The connection to the network was established almost immediately after (re)boot or resume after suspend
First off: I double-checked the config file for the second network. Both syntax and SSID/passphrase are correct. Also, I don't have special characters in my network/profile names, the names in brackets are placeholders.
Here's what happens after a fresh reboot (only the second network is in range of my pc, so it doesn't connect to my first - working - network):
Netctl-auto is active and running, but seems to repeatedly lose connection to the second network:
# systemctl status netctl-auto@wlan0

I'm pretty sure everything should theoretically work fine, because it worked before the netctl update. I was even connected to this network today until i had to reboot!
Now here's what happens if I try to connect manually:

@silverzhao I use a manual dhcpcd/wpa_supplicant way of setting up my wlan0 using http://git.r-36.net/conn and I have the same problem.
I have to kill my wireless and restart after seeing a message like:

[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

- 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!

Also, I have tried to check with

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:

Now I am lost:

- 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] Puzzled: Web site visible on network but not outside network

Edit: Ok, nevermind . . . somehow the problem has resolved itself. Perhaps my ISP was having a bad hair day or something.
I'm puzzled by this small problem I'm having. It is NOT a critical problem or anything, just something I'd like to solve.
I've installed the LAMP packages, set up a small MySQL database and made a very simple web interface for it. The web pages open fine on my main computer and all the other computers on our network, but it is not visible outside our network.
I am behind a router and I have forwarded port 80 to my local IP. I've set httpd: ALL, http: ALL and (finally) ALL: ALL: ACCEPT in /etc/hosts.
I got to thinking maybe my ISP (RoadRunner) is blocking port 80 requests to my home, so I changed the port to 9292 and forwarded that to my local IP. Still not visible from the outside.
I've tinkered with the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file (pasted in below) but still there is no outside connectivity, changing the listen settings and the server name settings. I can still access it fine from this side of the router. I've restarted the httpd service many times.
I've done all I can think to do to solve the issue. it is likely I am overlooking something very basic. Any help or ideas are appreciated. Below is my httpd.conf.

You could try a factory reset of the home hub, as sometimes the config can get corrupted.

How to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3g or gPRS on safari with an iphone 4 and latest software updates

Please can someone help me to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3G or GPRS on safari with an iphone 4GS and latest software updates. I have tried resetting the network and phone settings. I have restored the factory settings on itunes and still the problem persists.

All iPhones sold in Japan are sold carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked by the carrier. If you unlocked it, it was by unauthorized means (hacked), and support cannot be given to you in this forum.
Hacked iPhones are subject to countermeasures by Apple, particularly when updating the firmware. It is likely permanently re-locked or permanently disabled.

What does this have to do with using an iPhone in an enterprise environment?
What carrier are you using and where did you get the phone?

[solved] netctl (/usr/lib/network/network) fails at boot, sometimes

Hi,
Since I reinstalled a new HD in my old laptop (8 years old) I have a problem with my netctl-profile: in about 1 in 4 boots the wireless does not connect. I appreciate it if someone could take a look at what happens, because I cannot seem to find the cause because the logs and errors do not give much information.
Some general info:
1) Wireless interface is wlan0; I turned off dynamic naming of systemd/udev. Network driver is RT2500pci.
2) I use an old kernel version, 3.3.8, because any newer version effectively hard blocks the radio signal without any possibility to change this (rfkill etc).
3) The power saving option of the network interface must be off. An udev rule does this effectively.
4) The ip link of the wireless interface must be off before netctl can start the network profile.
5) When the connection fails, I enter "ip link set wlan0 down" and then start the network profile by entering "netctl start Sorryvoordehobo". This *always* works.
The following logs and outputs perhaps give information about the issue. Particularly the last might be helpful, because it shows that some authentication indeed takes place, but there is no network.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the kernel. Note that with the previous HD everything started perfectly, with the same kernel version. The new HD is a lot faster as it is an SSD; maybe this has anything to do with the issue?
To continue: the connection always works when I manually enter "ip link set wlan0 down" and then start netctl. I figured that I should execute this command before netctl starts, but I cannot seem to get this to work. What I tried is to edit /etc/systemd/system/netctl.service, by entering this command with the options ExecStartPre and ExecStartPost (see the two commented lines):
[Unit]
Description=(Re)store the netctl profile state
Before=network.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
#ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/ip link set wlan0 down
ExecStart=-/usr/bin/netctl restore
#ExecStartPost=-/usr/bin/ip link set wlan0 down
ExecStop=/usr/bin/netctl store
KillMode=none
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Nevertheless, with either of these lines uncommented I get boots without the netctl-profile starting.
In the original post I did not give the output of ip link. So here it is:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT
group default
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group
default qlen 1000
link/ether 00:40:45:25:dc:4b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DORM
ANT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 00:13:d3:6c:f3:78 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
To conclude: authentication succeeds (see the output of dmesg), but I do not seem to get an IP-address (see above). But I have no idea why, and the error messages are not very clear.
I am still figuring out what happens here, but maybe somebody knows what goes wrong here? Thanks!

[Solved] Wicd not finding wireless networks

I have a Belkin Wireless G USB key and can't get it to find any networks. The wiki said the driver was built into the kernel, so I'm guessing it should work with no problems. I followed the wiki on installing wicd, and while wicd finds and connects to my wired connection, it's not showing any wireless networks. Is there something I should be editing that wasn't mentioned (or I failed to notice)?
Edit: Got it. Ran 'dmesg > eek' and read through it, found out I was missing the firmware. What confused me was that the firmware wasn't the one mentioned in the wiki. Nonetheless, works now.

Having similar problems with my ageing G5and 10.5.8.
Sometimes get a 3 band wireless /fast connection to my network but at other times when waking from sleep get nothing. I have to reboot my airport extreme base station and the Netgear router and then the G5 can see the network again.
Recently had an issue with the G5 not recognizing the wireless password (WPA 2 personal) without logical reason.
I did a Keychain First Aid verify/repair.
Now back on a 3 band wireless and for now all seems fine.

C2921 router will not bring up fibre SFP

c2921 router will not bring up fibre SFP
I can't get two cisco 2921 routers to talk to each other
the setup works find in my testbed with a rj45 cross over cable between them or even with a WANEM cloud emulator(free tool).
after migrating from CU to fibre they won't to talk to each other anymore. worse, both refuse to bring up their wan side fibre SFP.
the "media-type" sub i/f command was used to change to SFP from RJ45
after that, the EN SFP light appears on both routers, but no link light
sh int gi 0/1
GigabitEthernet0/1 is down, line protocol is down
Hardware is CN Gigabit Ethernet, address is xxx(bia xxx)
Description: ** TEST LINK
Internet address is 1.1.1.2/30
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1000000 Kbit/sec, DLY 10 usec,
     reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set
Keepalive set (10 sec)
Full-duplex, 1000Mb/s, media type is SX
the two routers are in different buildings and must pass through a middle building(#2)
B1 - 200m -- B2 -- 900m -- b3
R1 (in building 1) is 200m from building 2
R2 (in building 3) is 900M from building 2
R1 has a MM SFP in Gi 0/1
R2 has a SM SFP in Gi 0/1 as the distance is too far for MM
in building two we have used both a SM to MM media converter
and a layer two switch with SM and MM SFP,
both show similar results
R1(MM sfp) --MM cable-- (MM sfp) switch (SM sfp) --SM cable--(SM sfp)R2
on the switch( in Bld 2), we see links lights coming out of the two routers, for both SM and MM links, this is good and expected. no traffic is seen though
on either router, no link light is seen and both interfaces are down down. shut, no shut, does not bring them up
we have tried different SFP and cables, still no change
one google search mentions an undocumented ciso command to ignore incompatibale SFP, but that does not work in IOS 15
if we add a 3750 switch to the routers Gi 0/1 WAN side as a media converter, we get success.
each switch has two sfp, one Cu and the other MM or SM fibre .
the router "media-type" sub i/f command was used to change to RJ45 from SFP, after that, the SFP EN lights goes out(as expected) on both routers,
R1(CU)-(CU)3750(MM sfp) --MMcable-- (MM sfp) switch (SM sfp) --SMcable--(SM sfp)-(SM sfp)3750(CU)R2
why does this work and the connection on the rtr does not
sh int gi 0/1
GigabitEthernet0/1 is up, line protocol is up

Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set
Keepalive set (10 sec)
Full-duplex, 1000Mb/s, media type is RJ45
this test is not practical in the deployed field and far too expensive
i am looking for a solution and want to know why the SFPs do not work in the routers
i tried two different MM SFP. neither one worked, though from SH INV, one can't tell them apart. on the CISCO site only this one is supported

S860 and X2, Google not connecting on mobile network.

I live in Sweden. Had my S860 for 3 years and it has been working fine but some months ago it was not connecting on mobile network with crome and play store. Restart and it could work for some time the it was gone again. At the same time Hotspot, skype and OS update is working fine. Got a new sim card i november but it did not help. This was going more and more bad and finally it did not work at all. Tried to reverse OS a few steps back and still not working. So i tought that it was something to do with hardware. Now i bought a Vibe X2. Away from sweden for the moment (Saudi Arabia) but this one does the same when I try to connect. OS update working but Crome says ssl error and Play Store just wont connect. Saw some forums said it might be time and date that was wrong so i tried to change to local format but it was the same. My S860 i was waiting for 6 month before i could buy it (not for sale in Sweden) in Saudi. Haas been very pleased with it so now when it has been messing with me i had no problem to buy a new Lenovo phone. This time just waiting 3 month before i could buy it in Saudi. Hope this is something I can get some help to solve. /Nils

Hi Ragge
Can you tell me your firmware build number(for the S820 and Vibe x2) and Baseband version(for the S820)?Settings->About phone....
''Had my S860 for 3 years and it has been working fine.....Sorry, checked and it is a S820 i have.''
The S820 has been relesed in May 2013.
''Tried to reverse OS a few steps back...''
How did you do that?.
Can you install THIS ->Open the app->MTK Settings->Telephony/BandMode->SIM 1(Do the same for SIM2) and make a screenshot(Power&Volume-) ->post the screenshot here.Thanks

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
