Mageia forum

Hi,

after updating my laptop to Mageia 4, Network manager is not listing any wifi networks. It looks like it does't communicate with wifi card.
Ethernet and Wimax USB device are controled well using Network manager

Which media did you use to install Mageia originally, and which desktop environment are you using? Please provide the output of the following commands:

Code: Select all: lspcidrake -v | grep -i net ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -ie net -e wpa

and, as root:

Code: Select all: journalctl -b -u network --no-pager -a systemctl status network.service -a journalctl -b | grep -i firmware

lspcidrake -v | grep -i net

well, a lot of information. I don't understand anything in this... Although I still beleive Mageia is better than Win7 which I use at work. And providing it is community driven it looks even more better

What happens if you run the following as root

Code: Select all: rfkill unblock all

[SOLVED] it just works. Thank you!

please prefix with [SOLVED] the subject of your first post

well, it turned that it is too early to celebrate
After reload of computer situation remained the same as previous.
after

Code: Select all: rfkill unblock all

wifi works again untill next reload

Also physical button controling wifi on/of doesn't work

What laptop make & model do you use?
Also please show the output of

Code: Select all: journalctl -ab | grep -i kill

it is lenovo e320

hello,

maybe someone could advise how to unblock wifi softblock and make physical button wifi on/of working.
all was ok in mageia 3 but these problems appeared after update to mageia 4

evaldas wrote:maybe someone could advise how to unblock wifi softblock and make physical button wifi on/of working.

It depends on computer so it's hard to say what keys is used to unblock it.

You could simply put the unblock all command it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
Check also viewtopic.php?f=41&t=4734

I can't find file rc.local

[root@localhost rc.d]# ls
init.d/ rc1.d/ rc3.d/ rc5.d/ rc7.d/ rcS.d@
rc0.d/ rc2.d/ rc4.d/ rc6.d/ rc.alsa_default*

Check the linked thread - you need to create that file and make it executable.

hmm... I would be very thankfull if someone writes how to create that file step by step
I am considerig also to buy a referense book. Maybe someone could recomend any?

As root run

Code: Select all: echo "rfkill unblock all" > /etc/rc.d/rc.local && chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local

For a reference book, a reference about what exactly? Try http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz
Also check viewtopic.php?p=48481#p48481

hmm... output was nothing
I think I need to create file, but I am not sure what program I should use and what exactly needs to writen in this file

that command writes "rfkill unblock all" in file /etc/rc.d/rc.local,
then (&&) adds the executable flag to the same file (chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local)

you need only to test if it works

Well you asked for how to create that file step by step - I've posted the command to do it in one step.
You didn't mention you also want some output.

Please show the output of

Code: Select all: cat /etc/rc.d/rc.local ls -al /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Code: Select all: [namai@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/rc.d/rc.local rfkill unblock all [namai@localhost ~]$ ls -al /etc/rc.d/rc.local -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 19 Geg 27 16:00 /etc/rc.d/rc.local* [namai@localhost ~]$

but still no wifi...

You did reboot your box in between? As that's only run on bootup.

Also please show the output as root of

Code: Select all: systemctl status rc-local.service

Code: Select all: rc-local.service - /etc/rc.d/rc.local Compatibility Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service; static) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Št 2014-05-31 18:48:21 EEST; 5min ago Process: 3811 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/rc.local start (code=exited, status=203/EXEC) Geg 31 18:48:21 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Starting /etc/rc.d/rc.local...

You need to add top of rc.local #!/bin/sh until it won't work.
