Omarchy

ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirements

A proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.

Original report

2016 MacBook Pro bizarre WiFi behaviorrevision 1 · captured 2026-10-04 11:27 UTC via poll

I attempted to install arch on an old MBP and ran into some interesting challenges.

This is relevant here now because I just attempted to install the iso and had similarly strange issues.

Arch

What I did:
- station wlan0 scan -> found my networks
- station wlan0 connect <SSID> -> entered correct password -> got “Operation failed”
- same result for two different physical access points

Found:
- NetworkConfigurationEnabled was initially disabled (saw error in iwctl)
- After enabling it with NetworkConfigurationEnabled=true in /etc/iwd/main.conf, error went away, but still got “Operation failed” and status shows “disconnected”
- Also confirmed it was actually not working via pings
- Made several attempts with reboots and different incantations

Omarchy

Had similar results in Omarchy's WiFi UI:
- scan shows my networks
- enter password correctly
- fails to connect with error

But then...

I was about to reattempt it in order to document the error message for this issue, but after the couple minutes I spent writing the above, I came back to the installer (still open at network select screen) and attempted to connect and it worked (without asking my password) as it went to the next step and I'm now downloading packages!
