How to use it properly, Network Manager getting unistalled #177

Open anu1097 opened 7 years ago

anu1097 commented 7 years ago

I am trying to install this so I can try using my Monitor as Wireless display using My PC with Ubuntu 17.04 as OS, I am using Amazon FireTv Stick as reciever. I have been able to establish connection using Windows 10 using a third party app named Remotr. But there are no available apps for Linux distributions.

I was able to solve all the problems regarding the installation and was able to successfully build it but, when I tried to run the commands in Readme, my network-manager was uninstalled and I had a real hard time trying to install it again while PC being Offline. Please help with the initial commands to establish a connection -

These are the commands I am asking about-

$ sudo hostap/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant -ddt -u

$ sudo connman/src/connmand -n -d

~~Then what is connman are we supposed to install it separately? ~~ Why does installing connman removes network manager. Do I have to loose network manager everytime I try to use this service ?

anuraag@anu123:~$ sudo wpa_supplicant -ddt -u 1500662865.685749: wpa_supplicant v2.4 1500662865.685776: random: Trying to read entropy from /dev/random 1500662865.687558: dbus: Register D-Bus object '/fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1' 1500662865.688039: dbus: Could not request service name: already registered 1500662865.688071: Failed to initialize wpa_supplicant

connmanctl> enable p2p Error p2p: Method "SetProperty" with signature "sv" on interface "net.connman.Technology" doesn't exist

connmanctl> scan p2p Error /net/connman/technology/p2p: Method "Scan" with signature "" on interface "net.connman.Technology" doesn't exist

I read the other issue thread on error regarding enable p2p in connman. I haven't been able to figure out error of wpa_supplicant. I am getting errors while trying to start initial commands of wpa_supplicant and connman

What to do ?

Please don't completely rewrite bug reports. If your original issue is resolved, close that report and open a new one if you have other issues.

WDS requires connman as the networking component: it provides essential functionality that WDS needs. Most (all?) desktop distros use NetworkManager. connman and NetworkManager are incompatible, as in they cannot run at the same time.
