| davef | Can somebody tell me how to completely disable wpa_supplicant from starting on a Raspberry Pi? I've disabled both wpa_supplicant and bluetooth services, but each time it boots, it still starts up. | 14:41 |
|---|---|---|
| zxmpi | some mention of it and difficulty in killing the bugger here https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=212574 | 14:56 |
| davef | ah, it's in if-up.d | 15:02 |
| davef | huh, so unlinking them didn't work | 15:04 |
| davef | it still starts :/ | 15:05 |
| davef | so.. | 15:06 |
| davef | $ systemctl status wpa_supplicant.service | 15:06 |
| davef | ● wpa_supplicant.service | 15:06 |
| davef | Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit wpa_supplicant.service is masked.) | 15:06 |
| davef | Active: inactive (dead) | 15:06 |
| davef | yet... | 15:06 |
| davef | $ ps aux | grep wpa | 15:06 |
| davef | root 521 0.0 0.0 13852 2408 ? Ss 11:05 0:00 wpa_supplicant -B -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 | 15:06 |
| davef | I suspect it's being fired up by dhcpcd. It's even weird that I have to configure a static IP in dhcpcd instead of /etc/network/interfaces | 15:08 |
| davef | While I appreciate that Raspberry Pi OS is great for beginners, when it comes to removing services from running when they're not needed, it's annoying. | 15:12 |
| waveform | davef, oh this is raspios? Was about to say, running systemctl disable wpa_supplicant seems to work on the ubuntu server image for pi | 15:14 |
| davef | yeah, it's raspios | 15:15 |
