WiFi driver suddenly not working
I was having issues with slow WiFi due to power saving being on. When I was trying to turn off power saving via terminal, my computer just froze and I had to hard restart it. Now my wifi driver isn’t working at all and I can’t connect to the internet; I don’t even see ethernet as an option either. Although, the network still detected, their status is just listed as down.

so it turns out when I was trying to turn off power saving via wpa applicant, I accidentally typed things after a certain step and it was saved to a file in NetworkManager. I removed that line and now the network works

wait, I fixed it by using the other boot version of bazzite.
sorry, I’m still very much a novice with Linux
oh lovely, glad it worked out for you
ugh it seems to have broke again. I’ll send pictures tomorrow with more information. I’m just so tired rn
it seems to be due to my attempts to turn off power saving
real real-- for whenever you're ready, could you try running and pasting the results here of
rpm-ostree status
and
systemctl status --now NetworkManager
?
you could also try running systemctl restart NetworkManager and see if that does anything for u
this is probably going to be a sorta lengthy process to troubleshoot though, so no rush 😂this is the error it gives me when I try to enable or restart NetworkManager
cool, we can try a quick
systemctl revert NetworkManager, restart and see if that changes anything
good news though, we know the issue is the networkmanager service
technically you should probably paste the output of that journalctl command it gave u in here before we move on but yeah, we're both sleepy lmaodidn’t work sadly
appreciate the assistance though. we’ll see what we can do tomorrow
fingers crossed
wait I literally just fixed it
