Wi-fi problem

[tepid heath]

So for some reason my device is not co necting to WiFi. OS sees the WiFi card and has the correct driver. Network interface only had LO interface and Bluetooth works. Thats the only info I could provide so far. I am not the brightest at troubleshooting/debugging

[floral karma]

is it a new problem, or has it been since you installed?

[tepid heath]

I installed secureblue today. Very fresh nothing else installer. After going thro8gh with the post installation stuff. I restarted and here is am

[floral karma]

what does nmcli device say? (it should only be short, you can photograph it)

i assume by "see the wifi card" you meant in lspci or something?

[tepid heath]

I am outside. I can't provide the exact command you gave me yet. I wl send it as soon as I can

[tepid heath]

Indeed

[floral karma]

oh wow that's interesting

thank you

[tepid heath]

Any ideas I should try when I get back?

[floral karma]

i don't actually know what's going on there, but the two places i can think of that might have info would be dmesg (needs running as root), like this: ```$ run0

dmesg | grep ath10```

and also journalctl -u NetworkManager.service

there's the kernel, wpa_supplicant and NetworkManager involved, so idk where the problem could be outside of those

[tepid heath]

Dk what to make of that

@floral karma

[floral karma]

@tepid heath i think (iirc) you need to do run0 on its own line before running dmesg. if dmesg | grep ath10 produces no output, you could try dmesg and visually check for anything network-related?

[floral karma]

also, same here. you need to run journalctl as root

[tepid heath]

Didn't work. And I couldn't find anything network related when I ran dmesg

[floral karma]

there should at least be when it detects and initialises the adapter

[tepid heath]

Journalctl has network related stuff

[floral karma]

aha?!

[tepid heath]

Nah not there

[tepid heath]

I am not good stuff reading logs 🙏 how bad is my situation

[floral karma]

do you have mac randomisation enabled?

[tepid heath]

Yes

[floral karma]

try disabling it

your network adapter might not support it

[tepid heath]

How?

[tepid heath]

Wait i thought it worked everywhere

[floral karma]

it's one of the ujusts, i'm on mobile right now

try ujust --choose

[floral karma]

no it's adapter dependent

[tepid heath]

Done

[floral karma]

it detects the interface, sets the MAC, and then... everything fails after that

[floral karma]

now maybe restart? or systemctl restart NetworkManager.service

[tepid heath]

But pretty sure on my arch setup i ran. It let me reboot and update you. I will research my adapter to see if it supports it

[floral karma]

if it's still not working, gather the logs again maybe and see if they've changed

[tepid heath]

Doesnt seem to work

[floral karma]

ip link only shows loopback?

[tepid heath]

Dms now pops smthing

Dmesg

[tepid heath]

Indeed

[floral karma]

could you share anything relevant?

[tepid heath]

Oof I keep running into dead ends. Any ideas yall 😭

[tepid heath]

Its the unstable kernels

[tepid heath]

Anyways this problem is over

[floral karma]

Oh good find

i had literally no ideas, sorry i couldn't offer anything else

thank you for figuring it out
