  • I am getting an error that the job failed, what should I do? Commented Jun 18, 2013 at 0:19
  • Use journalctl -af to watch your logs. There may be multiple reasons, like incorrect password or SSID. Perhaps you have to change wlan0 to something different due to a udev change, run ifconfig to determine the correct name for the wireless interface. If you have more bad luck, your USB dongle is not entirely supported by the driver. Commented Jun 18, 2013 at 8:15

    Found this to be accurate, however, I ran into the following problems/solutions: "Profile <profile-name> does not exist or is not readable" - using a dash in the name of the profile causes some escape issues. had to take out the dash; "The interface of network profile <profile-name> is already up - had to take wlan0 down before starting my profile - ip link wlan0 down; netctl start <profile-name> Commented Jun 11, 2014 at 11:55
