Wifi stopped working

MNT Pocket Reform

I think installing hyprland might be what did it. lsmod has cfg80211 but there is a 0 next to it. (no clue what that means). Checking dmesg i see:

cfg80211: failed to load regulatory.db

Do i need to roll back the kernel to a previous state? It would be nice to have some guidance on how to confirm what actually broke it. I saw another chat for the reform and the person ended up just doing a clean install. I currently have internet through a USB wifi dongle. So that makes downloading updates and troubleshooting easier.

Try sudo apt update and then sudo apt install reform-qcacld2.

its trying to fetch reform-qcacld2-6.10.6-mnt-reform-arm64_20240901T1124911Z_arm64.deb and getting a 404. Assuming unsupported kernel?

nevermind, since i dont have batteries at the moment i keep forgetting my time get outs of sync. I think I’m going to add something to update my time to the greet config.

That’s unnecessary because you have internet. The time is synchronized by the ntp service. When you’re online, try sudo systemctl restart ntp and wait a minute. The date command should show the right date after a while.

I have no idea why it wants to fetch an old version of qcacld2. Perhaps sudo apt update did not succeed? The current version of the package is linux-image-mnt-reform-arm64_6.10.7-1+reform20240902T112605Z_arm64.deb.

I was assuming it was because my charge board is disconnected and it’s making my hwclock be out of sync. Which keeps putting the os time off. i checked the ntp service and its been running, but i still need to keep updating time occasionally. I’ll try restarting it like you requested next time it’s out of sync and see what happens.
