Hi all:
After installing Gentoo according to the install guide, I have a problem with wpa_supplicant. I've been looking up the error all over but I have not been able to find the answer.
wpa_supplicant works on root but I'm trying to get it for a user in the "wheel" group. My wpa_supplicant.conf file is the following:
| Code: |
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
update_config=1
|
My conf.d wpa_supplicant file:
| Code: |
wpa_supplicant_args="-B -M -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf" |
I have errors with wpa_supplicant while booting into Gentoo Linux. I think that they are somehow related.
| Code: |
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlp0s20f3 ...
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
* Starting wpa_cli on wlp0s20f3 ...
Failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: wlp0s20f3 error: Read-only file system
* start-stop-daemon: failed to start "/usr/bin/wpa_cli"
* ERROR: net.wlp0s20f3 failed to start
|
There is a later error as well:
| Code: |
* Bringing up interface wlp0s20f3
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlp0s20f3
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
ctrl_iface exists and seems to be in use--cannot override it
Delete /var/run/wpa_supplicant/wlp0s20f3 manually if it is not used anymore
Failed to initialize control interface "DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel"
You may have another wpa_supplicant process already running or the file was left by an unclean...
nl80211: deinit ifname=wlp0s20f3 disabled_11b_rates=0
* start-stop-daemon: failed to start "/usr/bin/wpa_cli"
* ERROR: net.wlp0s20f3 failed to start
* Cannot start netmount...
|
And then in my user account (not root), wpa_supplicant is not initialized.
How do I get wpa_supplicant/wpa_cli to work on my non-root users, given these errors?
Thank you very much for your attention. |
