Can't get network manager to work only dhcpcd

pi-top [1] + pi-topCEED
#1

Hello.

I have a pitop 1 running a RasPi 4b.

For some reason I can’t get network-manager to work using the original pi-topOs.

I have that and another error on is2mm-map on boot that I am not sure what refers to.

Can someone help me with the network-manager issue at least please?

I see a failed to enable network in wpa_supplicant configuration

or a could not get status from wpa_supplicant

Thanks.

Will

Hi @munecito ;

How did you install network-manager in pi-topOS? Did you update Raspberry Pi OS apt sources to upgrade to bookworm or you just installed the network-manager package in bullseye?

I’m asking because on pi-topOS bullseye there’s a few packages that depend on dhcpcd (for managing the USB connections or access-point mode) so it’s probable that if you installed network-manager on bullseye, some dependencies were removed.

Some logs would be useful to determine what’s the issue. For example, the output of these commands:

systemctl status NetworkManager
systemctl status wpa_supplicant.service
systemctl status dhcpcd
cat /etc/os-release
cat /boot/pt-issue.txt

these will probably print a longer output:

journalctl -b -u NetworkManager
journalctl -b -u wpa_supplicant.service
journalctl -b -u dhcpcd
