Continuing my issue from here, after installing tumbleweed I could not get any networks to show up and connect. The only time I could get a connection was during installation when it grabbed from the latest repositories. I looked around and tried out reconfiguring my network card since some people suggested that to others. I keep getting this error when trying to configure.
Hopefully others may know the solution off the top of their head.
However while waiting for such, can you send this command in a bash shell and provide here the output? sudo journalctl -b | grep -Ei 'mediat|wlan|network|firmware'
You will need to figure out how to post it here given your PC has no wifi. Perhaps (if output long) take 2 or more images of the output, and post such here … or copy such to a text file, transfer the text file to a PC (or boot) that has internet, and then post here.
I believe that information may help in understanding better what is transpiring.
… and also, others on this thread may chime in with far superior diagnostic commands to run, and or a solution.
I looked and ask around before you made your reply. It was pretty simple actually. Network Setup Method was on “Network Services Disabled”, so I just switched it to “Network Manager”. Got a pop-up that said:
NetworkManager is controlled by desktop applet (KDE plasma widget and nm-applet for GNOME). Be sure it’s running and if not, start it manually.
I couldn’t find the applet it was referring to so I went ahead and applied the changes anyway and now I seem to be connected. So unless any other problems come up, my bad it was quite the simple change. Though thanks for the command anyway, may be useful in the future.
