Thanks in advance for any help. I'm not an expert in any of this; I know just enough to get in trouble.
The issue is that I want to use Raspberry Pi 5 Bookworm and the SenseHat with students for coding in class at a large public school and I need the Pis to have internet access. Our district has excellent WiFi and uses WPA-EAP and not PSK. The password has to be hashed instead of in plain text as it is when using NetworkManager. (Students will know how to chmod the file to view the password.) There are some solutions others have offered for changing the plain text to hashed but those solutions only work for WPA-PSK. Using dhcpcd5 I can use the wpa-supplicant.conf file approved by IT with all the correct settings and the hashed password. I have verified that this works, but once I install dhcpcd5, it breaks the loading of the gui.
Installing dhcpcd5 breaks something where the gui doesn't load. At bootup, it says "Timed out waiting for device dev-dri-card0.device" and "Timed out waiting for device dev-dri-renderD128.device", then "Failed to start lightdm.service."
What can I do to get the Raspberry Pi Bookworm to load normally while also using dhcpcd5? Or, if someone knows a way to use NetworkManager with the password hashed and not in plain text, that's even better although none of my searching turned up a usable way to do it so far. To install dhcpcd5, I used this forum post as a reference, although I did steps 3 and 4 before 1 and 2. viewtopic.php?t=360586
