wifi is not working

[unkempt carbon]

in journalctl it says No agents were available for this request.

the nmcli tells me that secrets are reauired and there are none available

i will provide logs when asked

Is this during installation

[vapid crow]

are you providing the password in the nmcli command (or using --ask) ?

[unkempt carbon]

no.

[unkempt carbon]

how do i provide the password? do i add it in as an extra argument at the end?

[vapid crow]

nmcli device wifi connect <network name> password <password>
or
nmcli --ask device wifi connect <network name> works as well i think

[unkempt carbon]

let me see if this will work

it doesnt

[unkempt carbon]

i get "connection activation failed: secrets were required but not provided"

it worked but only for 30 seconds

it keeps disconnecting me

my wifi is like a dying old man; i have to constantly resuscitate it by passing the same command over and over again

pretty annoying

Try iwctl

station wlan0 scan
station wlan0 get-networks
station wlan0 connect wifiname

[unkempt carbon]

same thing

Worked for me when I broke KDE and needed to fix it in a tty

Have you powered on the device wlan0 or whatever the device name is yours?
