 Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2022 2:08 pm Post subject: Getting iwd to work with Gentoo. |
 |
|
Hello, I am trying to get iwd to work gentoo and use it as a one-stop networking solution. I have emerged iwd from the repos with the useflags:,
| Code: | +client
-cpu_flags_x86_aes
-cpu_flags_x86_ssse3
+crda
+monitor
-ofono
+standalone
-systemd
-wired |
and also made changes to my Kernel configuration. However, when I am trying to start iwd, it's crashing. What might be the reason for this?
Output of
| Code: | Runlevel: default
dbus [ started ]
net.eth0 [ started ]
netmount [ stopped ]
nfsclient [ started ]
local [ started ]
Dynamic Runlevel: hotplugged
Dynamic Runlevel: needed/wanted
rpc.pipefs [ started ]
rpcbind [ started ]
rpc.idmapd [ started ]
rpc.statd [ started ]
Dynamic Runlevel: manual
iwd [ crashed ]
|
.
I don't want to start iwd via netirfc. I want to start iwd only when I need to connect to a WiFi network. Hence, I am trying to start it manually. I am running kernel version |

Plz post
| Code: |
cat /etc/iwd/main.conf
|
and any relevant log info pertaining to iwd.
Why does it crash?
In my setup it starts normally.
Try rebuilding it with USE="-standalone"

Here's
| Code: | [General]
EnableNetworkConfiguration=true
UseDefaultInterface=true
[Network]
NameResolvingService=resolvconf
|
I can't get any form of error messages showing why iwd has crashed. If I start iwctl, it says waiting for iwd to start, however when I try to restart iwd, this is what I get
| Code: | netmount | * Unmounting network filesystems ... [ ok ]
iwd | * Stopping iwd ...
iwd | * start-stop-daemon: no matching processes found [ ok ]
iwd | * Starting iwd ... [ ok ]
netmount | * Mounting network filesystems ... [ ok ] |
And rc logfile shows no errors.
| Code: | rpc.pipefs | * Setting up RPC pipefs ...
iwd | * Starting iwd ...
[ ok ]
[ ok ]
net.eth0 | * Bringing up interface eth0
net.eth0 | * Caching network module dependencies
net.eth0 | * dhcp ...
net.eth0 | * Running dhcpcd ...
net.eth0 |sending commands to dhcpcd process
[ ok ]
net.eth0 | * received address

netmount | * Mounting network filesystems ...
rpcbind | * Starting rpcbind ...

[ ok ]
rpc.idmapd | * Starting idmapd ...
rpc.statd | * Starting NFS statd ...

[ ok ]
nfsclient | * Starting NFS sm-notify ...

Edit:- Building with USE="-standalone" doesn't seem to help. |

| Here you go https://pastebin.com/raw/1Vurhchd. And setting EnableNetworkConfiguration to false doesn't seem to help either. |

Try with gentoo-kernel-bin
and if it works you need to work on your kernel config.
Also plz make sure any instance of wpa_supplicant is not running.
ALSO plz comment out all lines in main.conf

I booted up a bin-kernel install and it didn't work, and commenting out the lines in main.conf doesn't work either. I set every option in the kernel as laid out in the Gentoo Wiki, but it still doesn't work for some weird reason. Should I open a bug ?
And also, no instance of wpa_supplicant is running. |
