my head hurts

snow burrow Dec 28, 2025, 9:21 AM

#

okay so tell me which one you wanna disable, iwd or network manager?

night junco Dec 28, 2025, 9:21 AM

#

i remember a script that reddit told me would fix my problems that would automatically enable iwd

#

so probably iwd

#

well

#

i mean networkmanager

#

keeping iwd

snow burrow Dec 28, 2025, 9:22 AM

#

okay so sudo systemctl disable --now NetworkManager.service

#

and if you prefer support-voice I can do that, I just entered by accident xD

snow burrow Dec 28, 2025, 9:24 AM

#

snow burrow okay so ```sudo systemctl disable --now NetworkManager.service```

after this systemctl status NetworkManager.service just for good measure

night junco Dec 28, 2025, 9:29 AM

#

snow burrow okay so ```sudo systemctl disable --now NetworkManager.service```

This shuts off my internet

#

Also I got logged out of discord

snow burrow Dec 28, 2025, 9:30 AM

#

night junco This shuts off my internet

you'd need to connect with iwd

night junco Dec 28, 2025, 9:30 AM

#

Ah

#

I changed my mind

tacit seal Dec 28, 2025, 9:30 AM

#

lol

night junco Dec 28, 2025, 9:30 AM

#

I remember trying to connect with iwd

snow burrow Dec 28, 2025, 9:30 AM

#

alright

#

well, I gotta know what script u ran from reddit 🥀

night junco Dec 28, 2025, 9:31 AM

#

Uhh

snow burrow Dec 28, 2025, 9:31 AM

#

snow burrow well, I gotta know what script u ran from reddit 🥀

which you usually should not do

#

so is that script re-enabling iwd after we disabled it earlier?

night junco Dec 28, 2025, 9:32 AM

#

snow burrow so is that script re-enabling iwd after we disabled it earlier?

I think so

snow burrow Dec 28, 2025, 9:32 AM

#

ughh

night junco Dec 28, 2025, 9:32 AM

#

I knew I shouldn't have trusted sketchy reddit code

snow burrow Dec 28, 2025, 9:33 AM

#

do u still have a link to that reddit post

#

or still have the script?

night junco Dec 28, 2025, 9:33 AM

#

okay im back fuck 2fa

#

uhh

#

i think it was in conf somewhere

snow burrow Dec 28, 2025, 9:34 AM

#

please try to find that script otherwise I have no way to know what is going on

night junco Dec 28, 2025, 9:34 AM

#

i found it

#


➜  conf.d pwd
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d
➜  conf.d
➜  conf.d ls -latr wifi*.conf

➜  conf.

# Now restart the NetworkManager service, and all should be good!

➜  conf.d sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

➜  conf.d sudo systemctl status NetworkManager

#

i dont think thats technically a script but

snow burrow Dec 28, 2025, 9:35 AM

#

night junco Dec 28, 2025, 9:35 AM

#

wdym

snow burrow Dec 28, 2025, 9:35 AM

#

there's no separator between conf.d and the rest so it's very confusing
