Can't connect to a Network

The issue

I can't connect to the internet no matter what. I tried connecting through Gnome Settings but it didn't work again. I don't know which network-management software that this config use, and because of that I can't give logs. It just says "unavailable" and when I click on a network it says "failed". It doesn't try to connect at all. Also, it doesn't work on Cinnamon.

But the previous installation does work perfectly fine.

EDIT: It fixed itself somehow.

Here's What I Did: Installed GROUP (Cinnamon and GNOME) and switched to Cinnamon by Logging Off from KDE. I Didn't Close Network Connection On Cinnamon, I tried to connect to a network but it stuck while connecting. Again, I Left It Open And switched back to KDE Plasma /Wayland Session) by restarting the system. And finally, I switched back to Hyprland by Logging Off from KDE. Didn't Touched The Connection Again And surprisingly, it worked... somehow....

EDIT-2: It breaks itself again when disconnecting from a network.

i dont think the install script installs any networking stuff but the right sidebar does connect using nmcli. also im pretty sure the gnome settings is really only supposed to be used for gnome specifically. how did you setup your wifi when you installed arch ? because im using networkmanager with wpa_supplicant which works fine

I've had a similar issue on my Endeavour OS, am not able to even start the wifi, even if I did by enabling in radio while nmtui, it still doesn't authenticate and let me connect

@macaquedev You may refer to #2159 to see if it helps.

You need to change a couple of parameters in the Network Manager configuration.

Go to sudo nvim /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf. I use nvim text editor (use nano or etc if you want). The file content should be as follows:

[ifupdown]
managed=true

After this restart you NetworkManager Service:

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

Sometimes NetworkManager does not manage devices that are listed in the /etc/network/interfaces file.

Comment out all lines in /etc/network/interfaces that are related to your WiFi device and save the changes.

After this restart you NetworkManager Service:

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
