WiFi keeps deactivating

inxcvizor · 2026-03-25 16:44:16

When i power up my computer after a shutdown, the WiFi connects just fine, but after it goes to sleep (usually because I left it unused), the WiFi just keeps disconnecting. When i try to connect it again, it tries, then shows an error message saying "Connection [network name] deactivated". After some tries though, it randomly and unpredictably connects without a specific reason. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

"maybe" but first we'll have to figure what the issue is.
Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

<body>
<center><h1>301 Moved Permanently</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx</center>
</body>
</html>

I tested it when it struggles to connect and that is what i got

I need to update the textblock…

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' https://0x0.st

inxcvizor · 2026-03-26 09:42:40

It shows

A quick scan of that log shows systemd-networkd, NetworkManager, IWD, and wpa_supplicant. What do you get from `tree /etc/systemd/`? You need to have only one network management daemon enabled for any given interface.

How do you want to manage your network?

inxcvizor · 2026-04-19 12:08:14

I am a total newbie, I am very sorry, but I think what i want is, whatever management works the best with less errors

seth · 2026-04-19 12:40:48

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … k_managers - make up your mind, the important part is to use *one* way, not all of them at the same time.
Notably see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … Fi_backend if you so desire.

Is enabling both NetworkManager and wpa_supplicant correct? (wpa for authenticating)

seth · Yesterday 14:04:32

No.
NM starts wpa_supplicant (by default) or iwd (if instead configured) itself.
