| beh | Hello, anyone able to help me diagnose a problem with NetworkManager in noble? (iwlist scanning shows network interface working; NetworkManager says "wifi unavailable" and so I can't connect via wifi) | 12:29 |
|---|---|---|
| beh | nmtui does not show the wifi interface (wlp4s0) in the devices list when I try to activate a connection... How can I make it aware of that interface? | 12:29 |
| beh | wifi card is intel8265 (in Thinkpad T570) | 12:29 |
| tomreyn | beh: maybe it's disabled? "rfkill" should know | 13:52 |
| beh | $ sudo rfkill list | 14:41 |
| beh | 0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth | 14:41 |
| beh | Soft blocked: no | 14:41 |
| beh | Hard blocked: no | 14:41 |
| beh | 1: tpacpi_wwan_sw: Wireless WAN | 14:41 |
| beh | Soft blocked: no | 14:41 |
| beh | Nothing disabled ... -> https://dpaste.com/726PMNDX2 | 14:43 |
| tomreyn | can you share a fully dmesg, or at least anything regarding initialization and renaming of the wireless interfaces and the usb port it is assigned to? | 15:45 |
| beh | https://dpaste.com/BJG8MAHFV | 15:55 |
| tomreyn | beh: remove or upgrade virtualbox (probably unrelated, but spams your dmesg with UBSAN errors). Uninstall the 'wl' module (the proprietary Broadcom wireless LAN driver aka broadcom-sta). | 16:21 |
| beh | https://dpaste.com/7KB8BR5VV (after removing virtualbox, wl... ...following another reboot... -- NetworkManager still says "wifi unavailable") | 16:38 |
| tomreyn | beh: so nmcli does not list wlp4s0 ? | 16:48 |
| beh | ... it does show it this time: | 16:48 |
| beh | https://dpaste.com/7KB8BR5VV | 16:49 |
| beh | wlp4s0: unavailable | 16:49 |
| tomreyn | same paste as above (dmesg) | 16:49 |
| beh | (ignore dpaste - that was the previous link) -- nmcli says it's unavailable... | 16:49 |
| tomreyn | does it say more than that? | 16:49 |
| beh | yeah, sorry - hadn't copied the line yet and just re-pasted - my bad...) | 16:50 |
| beh | full nmcli output: https://dpaste.com/9S8JEXK9N | 16:50 |
| beh | nmcli device output: https://dpaste.com/8ZLGSLX66 | 16:53 |
| tomreyn | beh: hmm, i'm not seeing anything wrong other than it being unavailable to nmcli. are you dual booting with windows and using fast startup there by chance? | 16:57 |
| beh | no - single booting only... It's bad enough to have to use windows at the office... ;-) | 16:58 |
| tomreyn | does "iwlist scan" list APs? | 17:00 |
| beh | It does... --> https://dpaste.com/EYYUJ43Q2 | 17:03 |
| beh | also added iwconfig output for the device... | 17:05 |
| tomreyn | and rfkill still doesn't say its disabled? | 17:06 |
| tomreyn | and you still cant configure it in network manager? | 17:06 |
| beh | rfkill output still unchanged - nothing shown as blocked... | 17:07 |
| beh | https://dpaste.com/BEZYQKUH9 -- nmtui doesn't show the wifi interface... | 17:10 |
| tomreyn | you scrolled down, too? | 17:11 |
| tomreyn | i'm a bit puzzled there, not sure how to proceed. maybe disabling power saving might work | 17:12 |
| beh | ...you see the 3 blank lines at the bottom...? The window was tall enough to show the entire list - with 12 empty lines at the bottom... nothing else there... | 17:12 |
| beh | disable power saving - where do I do that? (apart from the GUI config, switching from "Balanced" to "Performance"?) | 17:14 |
| tomreyn | i mean wireless power saving, it's a setting in a NM configuration file | 17:15 |
| tomreyn | somewhere in here, i think /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/ | 17:16 |
| tomreyn | wifi.powersave defaults to 3, set it to 2 to disable | 17:16 |
| beh | currently at wifi.powersave = 3 | 17:16 |
| beh_ | changed to 2 in conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf ; restarted NetworkManager - no change | 17:19 |

| tomreyn | :-/ | 17:29 |
| beh_ | wifi used to work on this machine - but at home I'm mostly using wired ethernet - just staying over Christmas with the in-laws at the moment - no wired connection here... :-( | 17:31 |
| beh_ | @tomreyn: Thank you for attempting to help, even if we haven't figured out the solution yet... | 17:32 |
| tomreyn | beh_: got a mobile phone you can tether through? | 17:33 |
| beh_ | That's what I'm doing at the moment... But that connection isn't very fast here... (ok - on the plus side - it doesn't eat up my roaming allowance that quickly that way... ;-) | 17:34 |
| tomreyn | hehe. good luck | 17:39 |
