wifi-menu error job for netctl@interface\x2SSID.service failed Arch linux

 

While trying to connect to your wireless network by wifi-menu , after updating password you may met with an error as ” job for netctl@<interface>\x<SSID>.service failed.  See ‘systemctl status netctl@interface\x2SSID.service’ and ‘journalctl -xn’ for details. “. I did.

After a bit googling i got some solution :

open a command prompt:

type: vi /etc/netctl/yournetworkinterface-yourSSID

you may get a file like this:

Description=’Automatically generated profile by wifi-menu’
Interface=interface
Connection=wireless
Security=wpa
ESSID=SSID
IP=dhcp
Key=”–old password–”

the field that we merely care about is : “key”

change the value of “Key” to new password….

fire your wifi-menu…. 🙂

to get interface you can use: ” ip link ”
