My high school chem teacher, while explaining soap micelles, went on a tangent saying that we don’t really need soap to wash ourselves and that he personally never used soap while bathing, I liked that teacher but TMI and gross.

interesting, do you have any research papers about this?

total used free shared buff/cache available

Mem: 3354 350 3032 1 171 3004

Swap: 8191 0 8191 on another reboot the memory dropped back down?

Thank you so much it just worked now!!

I added the use flags,

compiled wpa_supplicant again with --newuse,

restarted NM and wpa,

and still the same issue :(

did a killall wpa_supplicant and now my ssid shows up and i can connect to it :)

its the 3rd day for me, so as I said i don’t want to recompile anything right now

I have 2 cores with 2 threads, compiling anything again is not an option for me, atleast right now: My router only has system logs unfortunately it doesnt show any logging for connection attempts

it works fine with literally, anyother wifi accesspoint, do you have any tips on waht I should do for the relevant logs to show up? I dont have journalctl but would dmesg work fine?

1. DWA-131: RTL8192EU
2. it also works on my pop-os system
3. no it was using WPA/WPA2, I changed it to use WPA2 only

sunk cost fallacy is a thing and i am falling for it

it auto brodcasts at channel 11, i manually changed it to 1-6 rescanning each time

also i dont think the channel or blacklists are the issue because it showed up and connected on live usb broadcasting at channel 11

i also changed the region from global to my region

before I gave up and installed NM i tried it the manual way, (including trouble shooting steps), then i spent some time compiling wireless-tools package and tried with them, same issue, then spent hours compiling NM for some hope(I disabled the relevant background services before trying NM) only for the ssid to not even show up
