Subject: NetworkManager stopped working
From: =?utf-8?q?Bosco_Vallejo-N=C3=A1gera?= <bosco@vallejonagera.xyz>

I've been using NetworkManager with wpa_supplicant as a backend and it
worked just fine, until for some reason it didn't.

This is my /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[main]
dhcp=3Dinternal
plugins=3Difupdown, keyfile
[ifupdown]
managed=3Dtrue
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=3Dyes
wifi.backend=3Dwpa_supplicant

And this is my /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp

I've tried switching to just wpa_supplicant and it worked, so my wifi
card is working, and it isn't off in rfkill.

However, when I go to nmtui and enter "Activate a connection" and I
don't see wifi there, only ehternet.

My user is in the plugdev group, but if I go to "Set system hostname", I
get the error message "Unable to set hostname: Insufficient privileges"
Anywhere else I should look?
