Postby sameeeer » Jun 25th, '21, 21:14

hi everyone
i have an old dsktop machine... its 12 years old but it still works fine 🤣
i know your are not intrested in that part 🤣
i installed mageia 8 on it and the internet connection works fine
but via ethernet cable ... wifi not good
unfortinatly the ethernet port has been damaged so i cant use it anymore
i tried so many times to use wifi but no luck
Drakehardware can detect the usb wifi adapter and it use the correct diver
but drakenetcenter is hopless to use it
every time i tried to connect ... it gave me connection failed massege
i tried to trace the problem through terminal but no good no any massage there except this one
Code: Select all
interface:down

=======
i am useing now econnman and its good but not perfect

how to solve this problem

Would be helpful if you could post the actual PCI ID for your wifi adapter. Please post the output of
Code: Select all
lspcidrake -v


Also some actual log excerpts from a connection attempt via draknetcenter would be helpful if you want to find out why it doesn't work. As root run
Code: Select all
journalctl -af
and then leave that running and start a connection attempt in draknetcenter, then once it fails wait a little and post the whole journalctl output here.

That journalctl excerpt does not seem to contain any connection attempt, are you sure you tried to establish a connection via draknetcenter in that timeframe or did you only copy&paste the output?
Please read the instructions again.

No, that is irrelevant.

will what i did i stopped econnman and its services from start with booting
then i re-enable the network services to be started with booting
and surprising there is no feed back from
Code: Select all
journalctl - af

even if i disable network services from start with booting i will get the same resault

Well, you are missing the part about attempting to establish a connection from draknetcenter.
Only enabling a service for boot does nothing for the running system.

Because you have an additional space between - and af, compare to what you ran before or simply copy&paste the command.

I don't see any change in your previous replies, you're still missing information on connection establishment via draknetcenter.

it seems that there is a work around this problem

1 - disabling network,network-auth and network-up services from start at boot time via mageia control center
2 - enable connman,connman-vpn and connman-wait-online and give it permission to start at boot time
3 - reboot the whole system
4 - after launching the system if there is any problem i will face with connman to connect to internet (( not the whole time ... because connman is really good to connect ))
then apparently i can kill that connection via drakenetcenter and relaunch it again through drakenetcenter without problem

:lol: oh man its so confusing but what can you do other than excepting it and go with it :lol:
