I would suggest stopping and disabling the netctl service you have listed above. Netctl and NetworkManager are both automatic network management applications. Having your system bring up a netctl management connection only to be stopped when you start NetworkManager is probably what is causing the majority your issues. Also, enable and start NetworkManager.service as Thomas suggested, which is the main systemd service for NetworkManager.Message: 1 Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2014 20:14:26 -0500 From: "Yves S.

I did what you instructed and this is the result of the command that you specified: # systemctl list-unit-files | grep -i network netctl network_connectio_at_home service enabled NetworkManager-dispatcher.service disabled NetworkManager-wait-online.service disabled NetworkManager.service disabled network-online.target static network.target static
If you open a terminal and run 'nm-connection-editor', this will allow you to manage your home and library wireless connections. Check to ensure that your home wireless connection is configured to connect automatically. Thomas suggested right-clicking the nm-applet icon in your system tray, but different desktop environments sometimes tailor the network settings GUI to have additional or fewer options than what is available in NetworkManager, whereas nm-connection-editor is part of NetworkManager.Whenever I bring up NetworkManager (not any other services), my manually established connection dies and I would need to go through re-establishing it anew. At first I was not getting NetworkManager to work as I wanted it to, which is why I tried messing with NetworkManager-wait-online (I'm new to ArchLinux and to the deeper portions of Linux internals, hence this decision out of frustration and not knowing what else to do.)If there is anything else that I'm missing, please let me know. I'll disable the wait-online, I don't think I need it. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Yves S. Garret <yoursurrogategod gmail com>Date: Mon, Jan 27, 2014 at 9:20 PM Subject: Having a hard time with NetworkManager on ArchLinux To: networkmanager-list gnome org Hello everyone, I'd really like to be able to better manager my network connections on my laptop. At the library, there is no authentication. At home, I do have WAP authentication. Going from one to another is anything but smooth. I've been following this example online: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager#Enable_NetworkManager_Wait_Online However, when I got to the part about NetworkManager-wait-online, I encountered these issues: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/998593295Thoughts on how to fix this problem? Or, if you know of a better tutorial/guide, I'd love to hear about it. --Yves -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
