Cannot connect to wifi via command line
I am simply trying to connect to my WPA2 network using the command line. I have tried what seems like everything for the past few hours, but no success.
Attempt #1
So I have tried to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file with the following information:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid "my ssid with spaces"
wpa-psk "my cleartext password"
Tried to bring the interface down with ifconfig down and ifup -v wlan0, only to be presented with this error:
ifup: configuring interface wlan0=wlan0 (inet)

wpa_supplicant: /sbin/wpa_supplicant daemon failed to start
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant exited with return code 1

Attempt #2
Next, I tried to use wpa_supplicant instead.
# wpa_passphrase "my ssid with spaces" >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
<my cleartext password followed by Enter>
I tried to start wpa_supplicant using the following command: wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dnl80211 only to be presented with the following output:
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant

Attempt #3
I have also tried to just use iwconfig from the command line, but that doesn't ever work either:
# iwconfig wlan0 essid "my ssid with spaces" key "cleartext password"
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
invalid argument "cleartext password".
Attempt #4
Not sure what I did differently, but now wpa_supplicant seems to associates to my AP and then disassociates. I have verified that the password is correct as well. Here's the output of running it without specifying a driver in command line arguments:

Attempt #5
Now I'm trying to use wpa_cli and it seems like it's associating, bu disassociating again. I see that auth_failure = 1 but this can't be right because I just literally pasted the password on my laptop and connected just fine, pasted it into the CLI and it failed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I always configure it usingwpa_clias explained here in the Arch Linux wiki, that’s simple and works exactly like that for Ubuntu as well.

Thanks for the suggestion, @dessert. Haven't used this command before but I'm also getting an error when using that. Going to update the original post.
