Re: f17 stuck at wpa_supplicant during statup

Boot with a live CD or in rescue mode (not even sure how to do that with grub 2) and disable wpa_supplicant.

Ah, here we are

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/...escuemode.html

It explains it pretty well. Once you're in the /mnt/sysimage, you can disable wpa_supplicant with

sytemctl disable wpa_supplicant.service

I would do

ls /etc/systemd/system/.*wants

and disable other things you don't need on boot. For example, you may not want sendmail (which will also probably hang the system if it can't immediately connect to the network.) To disable anything, just use a command like the one I gave above, for example systemctl disable sendmail.service

I haven't used the rescue method myself--back in the old days, when Fedora booted, there was an option to hit I (upper case i, though I'm not sure if upper case was required) to be asked, one by one, if you wanted a service to start, but I don't think they have that anymore, which would have made situations like this much easier to handle, but that's progress.

When I start it again it gives me warning.

****Warning --SELinux targeted policy relabel is required
****Relabeling could take a very long time, depending on file
****System size and speed of har drives..

Re: f17 stuck at wpa_supplicant during statup

You mean you ran the rescue and fixed it and are now getting that message? That should be Ok. As I think I said, I'm not all that familiar with fixing things this way so I am guessing some SELinux contexts were changed. Let it do the relabel, it usually doesn't take that long.

This happened to me too today. After a regular update system is stuck at starting wpa_supplicant for no reason.

My problem was caused by VirtualBox package. I removed VirtualBox packages and now everything works fine.
