Posted: Wed Jun 23, 2021 9:38 am Post subject: (solved) wpa_supplicant gives errors but wireless works |
|
|
On the laptop I'm trying to get the wireless working. Strange thing is that wireless starts, the wifi wonnects to my wifi network and I can go on the network. But wpa_supplicant gives an error and wpa_gui finds no networks. I'd like to have wpa_gui working so I can choose wifi networks.
/etc/conf.d/wpa_supplicant
Code: | # conf.d file for wpa_supplicant
# uncomment this if wpa_supplicant starts up before your network interface
# is ready and it causes issues
# rc_want="dev-settle"
# Please check man 8 wpa_supplicant for more information about the options
# wpa_supplicant accepts.
#
wpa_supplicant_args="-B -M -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf" |
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Code: |
# The below line not be changed otherwise we refuse to work
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
# Ensure that only root can read the WPA configuration
ctrl_interface_group=0
# Let wpa_supplicant take care of scanning and AP selection
ap_scan=1
# Simple case: WPA-PSK, PSK as an ASCII passphrase, allow all valid ciphers
network={
ssid="*********"
psk="**********"
# The higher the priority the sooner we are matched
priority=5
} |
/etc/conf.d/net
Code: | dns_domain_lo="thuis"
config_enp12s0="dhcp"
config_wlp3s0="dhcp"
modules="wpa_supplicant" |
There is also a /etc/init.d/net.wpl3s0 that is a link to net.lo as per handbook. Net.wpl3s0 and wpa_supplicant are at runlevel default.
But rc-status --servicelist says this:
Code: | wpa_supplicant [ started ]
dhcpcd [ started ]
termencoding [ started ]
keymaps [ started ]
loopback [ started ]
net.enp12s0 [ started ]
net.wlp3s0 [ stopped ]
netmount [ stopped ]
ntp-client [ stopped ] |
So it says net.wpl3s0 isn't running while I do have wifi connection
Dmesg says:
Code: | [ 9.910900] ip (1378) used greatest stack depth: 12464 bytes left

This is what is in the syslog (I just kept the network things) After boot I removed the ethernet cable to check connectivity of the wireless.

It is strange that before I did the wpa_supplicant setup and added it to runlevel default, ntpd worked fine. But it can be that this is a specific ntpd issue right now. _________________ Expert in non-working solutions

Take your config for wlp3s0 out of conf.d/net; you've got two network managers (net.wlp3s0 and wpa_supplicant) fighting over the same interface. _________________ Greybeard |

Ok, changed /etc/conf.d/net to:
Code: | dns_domain_lo="thuis"
config_enp12s0="dhcp" |
But no difference. I also saw that rc isn't happy so I let it log and found this:
Code: | * Bringing up interface enp12s0
* Caching network module dependencies
* dhcp ...
* Running dhcpcd ...
sending commands to dhcpcd process

You may have another wpa_supplicant process already running or the file was
left by an unclean termination of wpa_supplicant in which case you will need
to manually remove this file before starting wpa_supplicant again.

I deleted the fiel /var/run/wpa_supplicant/wpls3s0 as mentioned but this makes no difference. After a reboot I get the same faults and the file is back. _________________ Expert in non-working solutions |

Not sure why, but I think the problem is whatever is issuing the message Code: | Bringing up interface wlp3s0 | AFAIK that's not from wpa_supplicant.
My rc.log has only Code: | loopback | * Bringing up network interface lo ... | and no messages about wlan0 at all.
For completeness, here are all the messages for rc default (with the [ok] messages moved to the relevant line; not sure why my rc,log gets garbled): Code: | rc default logging started at Sun Jun 27 11:07:23 2021

Did you "rc-update add net.wlp3s0"? If so, remove it; IIUC that's part of netifrc, and you're using wpa_supplicant instead; at the moment I think you effectively have both configured. Removing the lines from /etc/conf.d/net merely means netifrc uses the defaults for wlp2s0. _________________ Greybeard |

I have been playing a bit with rc-services. What I find is that
1: both net.wlp3s0 AND wpa_supplicant are on runlevel default
2: if wpa_supplicant is running before net.wlp3s0, then I get a load of errors, just like when it starts all during boot
3: if I stop both services and then first start net.wlp3s0 and then next I start wpa_services, it works as I expect (I see the interface in wpa_gui and can select a network, start a scan etc)
So it seems that the issue is the order of starting net.wlp3s0 and wpa_supplicant. Is there a way I can tell rc which order to start both? _________________ Expert in non-working solutions |

It is also a permissions issue.
When I start the net.wlp3s0 and wpa_supplicant service in orde I need to be root. If I then look as my ormal user at wpa_gui, there is no interface. But if I then start wpa_gui as root, I do see the interface and can connect and disconnect. But I have no idea what specific thing needs to get permissions set. _________________ Expert in non-working solutions |

I believe you should not need net.wlp3s0 started at all. wpa_supplicant should do everything necessary. That's how my laptop does it. I'll have to look at permissions on it tomorrow. _________________ Greybeard |

Spanik,
Goverp has told you the problem. You'll end up in the weeds on wireless unless you start exactly one service to bring up wpa_supplicant.
I do it differently to him though, I bring up the interface and then call up wpa_supplicant via /etc/conf.d/net
Edit to say here that you simply can't start both wpa_supplicant and your net.wlpXsX remove one of them via rc_update.
You can start one or the other, and use the one you start to call the other. In the below I start the device, so to follow that, you'd remove wpa_supplicant
Here's how I configure wireless:
Once having identified the device and configured any kernel / firmware:
Code: | gw-01 / # tree /sys/class/net
/sys/class/net
├── lo -> ../../devices/virtual/net/lo
├── sit0 -> ../../devices/virtual/net/sit0
└── wlp6s0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.2/0000:06:00.0/net/wlp6s0
3 directories, 0 files |
Add the device to the boot run level
Code: | rc-update add wlp6s0 default |
Setup /etc/conf.d/wpa_supplicant
Code: | gw-01 / # cat /etc/conf.d/wpa_supplicant
# conf.d file for wpa_supplicant
# uncomment this if wpa_supplicant starts up before your network interface
# is ready and it causes issues
# rc_want="dev-settle"
# Please check man 8 wpa_supplicant for more information about the options
# wpa_supplicant accepts.
wpa_supplicant_args="-B -M -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf" |
Setup /conf.d/net
Code: | gw-01 / # cat /etc/conf.d/net
modules_wlp6s0="wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_wlp6s0="-Dnl80211 -d -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log"
config_wlp6s0="dhcp" |
Setup /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Note the changed ctrl_interface_group - that will fix your permissions with eg. unpopulated wpa_gui etc.. you may also have to add your user to the netdev group.
Code: | gw-01 / # cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=users
network={
ssid="Yeah"
#psk="Right"
psk=LetsPutThatHere:)
}
network={
ssid="Yeah"
#psk="Right"
psk=LetsPutThatHereToo:)
} |
That's enough to get me a stable connection and the ability to network-switch via wpa_gui.
Hope it helps. |

I did that, and wifi is working right now. The remaining problem is that I cannot use wpa_gui as a standard user. Only as root can I choose which network to connect to.
When I run as standard user, wpa_gui gives blank, no devices, no networks. If I open a terminal and start wpa_gui as root, I have the interface and the list of available networks.
So somewhere there is a permissions issue. But I have no clue where or what needs changing. _________________ Expert in non-working solutions |

Did you try what I suggested?

I missed that! Indeed, changing the crtl_interface_group to "users" was what was missing. _________________ Expert in non-working solutions |

Great, mark the thread solved, maybe someone else will find it useful later. |
