Hello, Ricardo and sirgazil reported on IRC that the ‘wpa-supplicant’ would (sometimes?) fail to start for the in the installation image on their laptop.
As a result the ‘networking’ service (Connman) would not start either; thus, the installer would report that it failed to establish Internet access, and would just stop there. Sirgazil posted /var/log/messages, which shows this: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 667 May 3 16:03:40 localhost vmunix: [ 9.164363] ieee80211 phy0: Atheros AR9565 Rev:2 mem=0xffffa88240e80000, irq=19 668 May 3 16:03:40 localhost vmunix: [ 9.172514] ath9k 0000:02:00.0 wlp2s0: renamed from wlan0 669 May 3 16:03:40 localhost vmunix: [ 9.199748] shepherd[1]: Service udev has been started. 670 May 3 16:03:40 localhost vmunix: [ 9.200682] shepherd[1]: Service file-system-/tmp has been started. 671 May 3 16:03:40 localhost vmunix: [ 9.201560] shepherd[1]: Service file-system-/dev/pts has been started. 672 May 3 16:03:40 localhost vmunix: [ 9.202423] shepherd[1]: Service file-system-/dev/shm has been started. 673 May 3 16:03:40 localhost vmunix: [ 9.203232] shepherd[1]: Service file-system-/gnu/store has been started. 674 May 3 16:03:40 localhost vmunix: [ 9.203891] shepherd[1]: Service file-systems has been started. 675 May 3 16:03:40 localhost vmunix: [ 9.207605] shepherd[1]: Service user-processes has been started. 676 May 3 16:03:40 localhost vmunix: [ 9.208993] shepherd[1]: Service host-name has been started. 677 May 3 16:03:40 localhost vmunix: [ 9.217925] shepherd[1]: Service user-homes has been started. 678 May 3 16:03:40 localhost vmunix: [ 10.221211] shepherd[1]: Service dbus-system has been started. 679 May 3 16:03:40 localhost vmunix: [ 10.222093] shepherd[1]: Service loopback has been started. 680 May 3 16:03:40 localhost wpa_supplicant[398]: Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant 681 May 3 16:03:40 localhost shepherd[1]: Service wpa-supplicant could not be started. 682 May 3 16:03:40 localhost shepherd[1]: Service networking depends on wpa-supplicant. 683 May 3 16:03:40 localhost shepherd[1]: Service networking could not be started. 684 May 3 16:03:40 localhost wpa_supplicant[400]: dbus: Could not request service name: already registered 685 May 3 16:03:40 localhost wpa_supplicant[400]: Failed to initialize wpa_supplicant 686 May 3 16:03:45 localhost shepherd[1]: Service wpa-supplicant could not be started. 687 May 3 16:03:45 localhost nscd: 401 monitoring file `/etc/hosts` (1) 688 May 3 16:03:45 localhost nscd: 401 monitoring directory `/etc` (2) 689 May 3 16:03:45 localhost nscd: 401 monitoring file `/etc/resolv.conf` (3) 690 May 3 16:03:45 localhost nscd: 401 monitoring directory `/etc` (2) 691 May 3 16:03:46 localhost shepherd[1]: Service nscd has been started. 692 May 3 16:03:46 localhost /gnu/store/3dnww56dsrd6f9pf9p8ll3yawhfp50d8-gpm-1.20.7/sbin/gpm[409]: *** info [daemon/startup.c(136)]: 693 May 3 16:03:46 localhost /gnu/store/3dnww56dsrd6f9pf9p8ll3yawhfp50d8-gpm-1.20.7/sbin/gpm[409]: Started gpm successfully.
