Help with wifi after general issue in my building
Help with wifi after general issue in my building
Hey everyone. So Last night there was a general problem with my building's network connectivity. This morning my landlord let me know it was fixed, which it was. I verified this from my mobile phone as well as the laptop I am using right now to write this post. However on my fairly new and hence barebones desktop running arch, I simply cant get NetworkManager to connect or even in some cases see any wifi networks.
This morning, it would occasionally show me the available networks, I would try to connect to my one which would work, but I would for all intents and purposes not have internet until a few minutes later the connection would drop. Now it doesn't even show any available networks.
Below are the outputs of some commands I thought would be useful. Of course it's probably not a comprehensive list so please do ask if you would like me to run and show the output of another command, just know I need to redirect it to a file and then transfer it here with a usb so its a bit tedious.

LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
24 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.

EDIT: At the opoint after my wireless interface where there is (EDIT) written, in the actual output there is written NO-CARRIER, BROADCAST, MULTICAST, UP enclosed in angle brackets, but for some reason I can't figure out how to get markdown to render the angle brackets. I think it thinks I'm writing HTML.
EDIT 2: Solved this by getting help from the arch linux forums. Link to my post where I got help, in case future people need help.
