[SOLVED] Network Manager not working after disabling GDM daemon

Morning All,
1st post so go easy on me.
I have recently setup Arch on a Samsung Q320 notebook, using GNOME DE and enabling gdm. Everything is working fine installed network manager no probs it connects to wireless network each time I login, really impressed with the distro. However I have been playing around with it a bit and when a disable the 'gdm' daemon by prefixing it with '!' in /etc/rc.conf, then reboot then login in with username & pw, and 'startx' GNOME DE starts fine however network manager fails to start, it is still located in the preferences menu I can open it and see the networks I have created previously however cannot join any of them. Can shed any light on the situation.
Cheers
Chris

Nmcli (Network manager) not working after upgrade

It seems there is a bug in the command line tool "nmcli" after a recent upgrade ..
The GUI applet still works, but I can no longer start/stop connections with nmcli ..
The error when using nmcli con ... is:
Stopping Mobile Broadband Connection.
Error: Can't obtain connections: settings service is not running.
I had a script using nmcli to start stop my 3G connection .. it no longer works.
If I downgrade networkmanager network-manager-applet and any dependancies, I don't get the error above, but I still can't stop/start the interface
Anyone have a solution?
EDIT: Looks like I have struck the bug reported here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=141379

Did you resolve this? I've just been hit with the same after upgrading to Server 3.2.2.

RDP does not work after disabling TLS 1.0

RDP does not work after disabling TLS 1.0
Had to re-enable it .... what can i do to make it work with TLS 1.2 ??

Hi,
Disabling TLS 1.0 will break RDP under default settings. Did the security scan say specifically to disable TLS 1.0? Normally you should be able to disable use of certain ciphers or prioritize ciphers. You may want to try IISCrypto, on
it you click the PCI button, then Apply button, then restart your server.
Additionally there are still a substantial number of web browsers in use that do not support TLS 1.1/1.2.
If you would like to continue with TLS 1.0 disabled you may change the RDP Security Layer. To do this please open Terminal Services Configuration (tsconfig.msc), double-click RDP-Tcp, change Security Layer to RDP Security Layer.
IMPORTANT: You are vulnerable to MITM attack when using RDP Security Layer because there is no Server Authentication. If you are running RDP over a VPN connection and there is no risk for interception then this may be okay. I recommend
you re-enable TLS 1.0 and have a ssl certificate from a public authority set on your RDP-Tcp listener.
Quoted from this thread answered
by TP, for more information you can go through that thread.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

[Solved] Network doesn't work after hibernate?

Hello! This is my first legit Linux install so excuse me if I'm a bit slow. I installed Arch last night and everything went smoothly. However, after I tested out hibernate on my machine, the network doesn't seem to work. Just prior to the hibernate, I installed Pidgin and Skype but they worked alright, so I think that the hibernate caused a problem on eth0.
I have an Asus P8Z68-V Pro motherboard with an Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet Controller that's using the e1000e driver. Running "dmesg | grep e1000e" says that it is up.
I'm not entirely clear here, but from reading, I think that I have several ways of connecting to the network, including network, dhcpcd, networkmanager, and wicd. I am using wicd so I did the following (or at least I think I am only using wicd):
#rc.d stop network
#rc.d stop dhcpcd
#rc.d stop networkmanager
Similarly, I put a ! in front of network in rc.conf:
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
# LOCALIZATION
# LOCALE: available languages can be listed with the 'locale -a' command
# DAEMON_LOCALE: If set to 'yes', use $LOCALE as the locale during daemon
# startup and during the boot process. If set to 'no', the C locale is used.
# HARDWARECLOCK: set to "", "UTC" or "localtime", any other value will result
# in the hardware clock being left untouched (useful for virtualization)
# Note: Using "localtime" is discouraged, using "" makes hwclock fall back
# to the value in /var/lib/hwclock/adjfile
# TIMEZONE: timezones are found in /usr/share/zoneinfo
# Note: if unset, the value in /etc/localtime is used unchanged
# KEYMAP: keymaps are found in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps

DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng dbus !network netfs crond wicd)
Restarting eth0 through wicd-cli still did not work. I also tried resuscitating the network via instructions on the configure network page before trying to focus solely on wicd.
I found a few similar problems on the forums by searching "wicd hibernate" and tried several solutions but they did not work. Several problems seem to be that the network doesn't work after a suspend because I guess the stuff in RAM did not get saved? But people were able to restart the network by running "/usr/lib/wicd/autoconnect.py" and I wasn't able to get this to work. As a final effort, I added "resume" into mkinitcpio.conf and placed the machine into sleep again to see if it may magically reset something but of course this did not happen .
mkinitcpio.conf:
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run first, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries used in a given hook.
# (Existing files are NOT overwritten if already added)
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
# Some users may wish to include modprobe.conf for custom module options
# like so:
# FILES="/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf"
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
## This is identical to the above, except the old ide subsystem is
## used for IDE devices instead of the new pata subsystem.
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems"
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev pata scsi sata usb filesystems"
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev pata mdadm encrypt filesystems"
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev usb lvm2 filesystems"
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata resume filesystems usbinput"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. With kernels earlier than
# 2.6.30, only gzip is supported, which is also the default. Newer kernels
# support gzip, bzip2 and lzma. Kernels 2.6.38 and later support xz
# compression.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=""
Not sure if my fstab.conf is useful but if this has something to do with settings getting "lost" in swap, here it is. Linux is on an SSD and HDD (sda and sdc) and Windows 7 is on a HDD (sdb).
fstab.conf:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noatime,size=2000M,mode=1777 0 0

/dev/sdc3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sdc4 /media/data ext4 defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,size=10G 0 0
Is wicd causing these problems or did I configure something else improperly? Would appreciate any help to get eth0 up again!

Ok, I think I've made some progress! Hibernate definitely affects my network connection. Could this be a kernel 3.0 problem?
I noticed that ifconfig showed eth0 without an inet addr, just an inet6 addr for the longest time. e1000e seemed to be loading up ok. I'm not certain here, but I think that meant the dhcp settings didn't stick, or something along those lines.
Trying to use dhcpcd like the instructions here did not work. By some chance, one attempt did work and while it did, I downloaded and installed dhclient. After that one successful attempt, renewing the DHCP lease via dhcpcd did not work again.
Luckily though, I found that running "dhclient eth0" worked. My DHCP settings seemed to have somehow gotten messed up after my initial, problematic hibernate to the point where none would stick, even after a reboot. Manually typing in "dhclient eth0" would get eth0 working, so I decided to add it to the bottom of /etc/rc.local, like in the example on the networking page.
Now, eth0 works after a boot. However, after the daemons load up during the boot process, my computer takes a long time to get to the login prompt (this is relatively speaking, since I am on a SSD and the boot process used to be blazing fast before). I'm pretty sure it's because I added "dhclient eth0" to /etc/rc.local.
I should say that even with these changes, after a hibernate, my eth0 still does not work and if it weren't for the edit to /etc/rc.local, eth0's inet settings would still not stick after a reboot (that is to say, the hibernate does do something to my network settings).
Is this the correct/most efficient way to fix my DHCP problem? Can I fix my "eth0 after hibernate" issue? Also, can I make my DHCP settings boot up without changes to /etc/rc.local so that I can get a fast boot again (still not sure how it was able to work before without my edit)?

Wrt610n wireless network does not work after firmeware upgrade

Hi
I just updated my Wrt610n hardware version 1 to the newest firmware, it did finish with sucess, I did factory reset reboot and reconfig. But the wireless network does not work , cant connect computers to it. Did downgrade the firmware to the same it was and restore my settings but still wireless does not work. But router works fine with lan. Any suggestions? maybe the firmware tosted the router?
Regards
Stefan

Update -
After last reset and reupgrade with the newest firmware for hardware version 1 I could config the router and connect 2 computers with wireless - but only for about 15 mín - then they lost connection and could not reconnect.
I did then get the newest update for hardeware version 2 - just to try and upgraded with that and got success, and now I have reset the router again and config it and those 2 computers are connected and have been for 1 hour now. So seems to be working - is it okay to have the firmware for hardware version 2 on my version 1 router?
Any thought what is going on - could it be that the other firmware had not loaded compleytle or?

[SOLVED] luks-passphrase not working after update

SOLVED: Hard drive was damaged. new hard drive ''fixed'' issue
Hello,
i updated my arch on 2015-06-05. After restarting my cryptsetup does not accept my password anymore.
No key available with this passphrase.
Searching the forum i found a couple of simular topics, nevertheless none of them offered a solution to the problem:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=169408
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=175737
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148562
So the solutions that did not work so far:
1. Downgrading cryptsetup package
2. Downgrading kbd package
3. Checked that my keyboard works just fine (both in grub and in live system)
4. Manualy loading the aes modules in live system to ensure correct decryption (found that issue somewhere...)
Unfortunatly i did not backup the luks header file.
So i don't know if there is some other way to check if the header is broken or how to find out why it will not decrypt my disk.
I am happy for any solutions or ideas

file -s -L /dev/mapper/foobar

Gives me the master key for the decrypted partition (denoted as forum_key_kex).
Do i need to convert this to binary or something to use it...?
Assume Filesystem/dev_sda2 is the partition to decrypt.
So to decrypt the partition directly with master key i have to do one of the following, wasn't sure which hash to take...:
echo "0 `blockdev --getsz Filesystem/dev_sda2` crypt aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 `echo SomeEncrypt | sha256sum | head -c 64` 0 Filesystem/dev_sda2 4096" | dmsetup create luks_volume
echo "0 `blockdev --getsz Filesystem/dev_sda2` crypt aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 `sha256sum forum_key_hex | head -c 64` 0 Filesystem/dev_sda2 4096" | dmsetup create luks_volume
as i found on:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions … master-key
(approved by you in the comment as it seems)
But both give me an error:
device-mapper: resume ioctl on luks_volume failed: Invalid argument
Command failed
Did i even do this right?
Also when i copied the partition to an external device dd_rescue observed 6 errors in blocks. So those might just be the cause of failure all the time.

Mac Mini Wake for Network Access Not working after upgrade

After upgrading to the latest OS (10.8) the WOL fuction is not work. This used to work before the release. i could see the Mac mini on my mac book pro even when it was asleep. Once I click on it under the shared resources area I could see the Mac wake up. Now as soon as it goes to sleep it drops from my mac book pro. I am connected via WIFI but also tried via LAN. Same result. Any ideas? Seems to be a bug as I google this issue it appears to be impacting many people.

Same issue here after updating my iMac to OS X 10.8. I can't use Logmein, wireless syncing to iTunes from my iOS devices, or my Logitech Server software for my Logitech Radio. Once the computer goes to sleep, it is invisible to the rest of the network. This all worked fine on 10.4-10.7. I have double-checked that Wake on Network Activity is turned on. I have disabled all networking interfaces except Ethernet. Nothing seems to help.

just remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf

X reads first configuration in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d then /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
When you copy 10-evdev.conf file into /etc/X11 you completly override previous system configuration. It's the reason copying synaptics configuration file into /etc/X11 fixes the issue
Defining default system configuration in /etc/X11 with previous xorg was a mistake, now it's fixed.
Wiki should be fixed. It's not a packaging bug, but a configuration bug.
@lordheavy
I agree with you that the new xf86-input-synaptics package is using the right configuration scheme, however it is breaking the functionality on every installed system. It was a packaging bug, which is now fixed, but it has to be handled manually by most users of previous versions. That's why I won't re-open the bug report FS#41589. Instead, I am asking here: shouldn't this change be notified to the users just like it has been done for most breaking changes on archlinux frontpage news?
By the way, thanks for your great work.

Network-manager not working

I tried to install network-manager and gnome-network-manager and it was sucessfully installed since the dependency problem was fixed but after adding the dhcdpd and networkmanager daemon's to my rc.conf and removing all network interfaces, (except for lo) it cannot find some resouces it says it "cannot continue." Here is the error when I run "nm-applet" from a console:

I'd say it has to do with the gnome applet and not the networkmanager daemon itself. I think there's some secret code somewhere hidden in Arch that prevents handy graphical apps from running, because I'm having problems with knetworkmanager too. Eventually, everything GUI will be so buggy that we'll all be forced to Openbox. BWHAHAA!
Errr, I'll let you know if I find a decent frontend that works with Arch.

Solved rEFInd does not work after update

Hello.
Today, I updated rEFInd with yaourt.
After the update, I copied the new files in /boot/efi.
I rebooted and now rEFInd does not work.
The only message I got is:
rEFInd - Initializing
After 2-3 minutes, the computer reboots and I got the same error message.
To boot, I had to use the UEFI shell.
First of all, is there a log file for rEFInd?
It is not easy at all to debug it when we don't have any error messages.
After that, I did the procedure to install rEFInd in /boot/efi twice without any success.
Do you know what to do to solve my problem?
Thanks for your help.

Desktop Manager Not Working After Security Wipe

I had to do a security wipe on my Tour to fix a problem I was having with the Bluetooth on my phone (which surpisingly worked!). However, now when I try to sync my phone with my computer, Desktop Manager has a problem. When the program gets to synching my calendar, Desktop Manager stops working. The screen goes white, and I get a message saying that it has stopped working. I tried clicking the Debug button, but it didn't do or tell me anything. It seems to fail when it gets to item 26 of 191 in my calendar (from the status bar that appears when synching), but I have no idea what that item is. Any ideas as to why this is now happening or how I get figure out what calendar item might be causing the problem? Thanks.

Interesting!
May have to hop on the mobile network if possible.. I'm not sure if you can register over WiFi with you being in a different country, but we can try a few steps.
Register on Network
1. From the device go to Options
2. Select Advanced Options
3. Select Host Routing Table
4. Select menu, then 'Register Now'
Send Service Books
call your carrier and ask them to resend your service books.

[SOLVED] Network manager only works as root

Hello everyone,
I am brand new to arch and have been quite impressed over the past few days over all it has to offer. Everything has been running quite smoothly and I am now in the process of setting up wireless. I installed network manager and was able to connect to a wireless network as root. For my regular user, however, I am running into some issues. First one was that the nm-applet could not be opened in fluxbox. I received the following error:
** (nm-applet:1576): WARNING **: <WARN> request_name(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service.
Error: (9) Connection ":1.27" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the configuration file
I "fixed" this by adding the following to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-applet.conf. Original credit goes to the user in this thread (I only slightly modified his code): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=63576

<policy user="myusername">
<allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings"/>
<allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings"/>
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings"/>
<deny send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSetting.Secrets"/>
</policy>

Now the applet shows up for my regular user, the problem being that it doesn't connect to the wireless networks (only wired). Whenever I try to connect to wireless, nothing happens (the symbol doesn't change in any way, i.e. the green spheres should start circling); I am still able to succesfully connect to wireless using root. Does anyone know what the source of this issue may be? Thank you very much in advance.

Solved: Had to install consolekit and add "ck-launch-session" to my .xinitrc file when starting fluxbox.
Edit: Please note that this also allowed me to remove the previous change to nm-applet.conf (no longer necessary)!

[SOLVED] Sound (snd_hda_intel) not working after resume from suspend

Using the latest kernel 2.6.30.4, On HP2133, whenever I get back from resume, sound is not working.
Running the following brings back the sound, but that is obviously a hack:
fuser -k /dev/snd/*
rmmod snd_hda_intel
modprobe snd_hda_intel
/etc/rc.d/alsa start
I have on my /etc/modprobe/50-sound.conf:
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
Here's the exact hardware specification:
# lspci -nnv|grep Audio
80:01.0 Audio device [0403]: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definition Audio Controller) [1106:3288] (rev 10)
Any idea where to look for this?

[SOLVED]
I downgraded to kernel 2.6.29 and the problem is gone.
Note: I also had X VT problems with 2.6.30.4 (xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call). Those were solved too by downgrading to 2.6.29.

How come my Wi-Fi network will not work after I updated my iMac to OS X Mavericks?

I just updated the OS on my iMac (late 2009) to OS X Mavericks and now the Wi-Fi network that I had previously set up and used for internet access for my iPad mini and my Nintendo Wii U will not work. It worked fine before with Snow Leopard.

Begin by restarting the computer, if that does not help then do 2-3 SMC and PRAM resets (instructions below) and if those do not work reset your modem and router (I don't care if other devices work) and ensure the Router is has the most up-to-date firmware installed.

Apple tv network connection not working after 4.2.2 upgrade

I think the 4.2.2 upgrade has broken something. My Apple tv wifi connection has been working fine. Stopped working after the upgrade.
Laptop and mac mini working fine through the wap.
My wap is a time capsule
I've got good signal strength and a valid ip address. Still no connectivity to the internet or to my itunes library from the apple tv

Unplug and restart.
If no joy reset settings in Settings menus.
If still no joy and you have a micro USB cable do a proper reset via iTunes.
