?

@edwardtorvalds ok

I am first time arch user

I have installed KDE

have problem on network connection

I am using dhcpcd but I have to start it every time I start computer

And the instructions on the arch wiki don't help

I dont know, because I dont know where to start from

I assume you searched, right? Did you read the wiki page on networking?

I was trying this method but it was not working: wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/…

I am stuck at here: wpa_cli

just search for arch dhcp

ok

@terdon do you know about this error: Could not connect to wpa_supplicant - re-trying ? I get it after running wpa_cli

@terdon I went through the wiki page of dhcpcd but they dont show way to automate it, I have to run sudo dhcpcd every time I start computer to connect to wired connection. I tried creating dhcpd4@eth0.service too

Yes, I saw. You need to enable the service, I don't remember the command. Hang on.

sudo systemctl enable dhcpcd@eth0.service ?

I tired this

Yes, that should work. But why eth0? Is that the right name?

oh yes, in my case it is enp1s0

sudo systemctl enable dhcpcd@enp1s0.service

I have these services running already: dhcpcd@enp1s0.service, dhcpcd@wlp2s0.service, system-dhcpcd.slice

sorry I copy pasted eth0 but really I have used enp1s0

enp1s0 is wired, wlp2s0 is wireless

hi seth o/

@edwardtorvalds hang on. Let's move this to another room. This is a private room created for moderation purposes. I'll just create a new one and ping you from there.

← 26 messages moved from Room for terdon and Edward

how did you move?

@edwardtorvalds OK, so what do you get from this command:

sudo systemctl status dhcpcd@enp1s0.service

@edwardtorvalds Mod magic :)

hehe nice

it says failed

Show me

@terdon sprunge.us/cPgd

Just paste thing here, where we can see them:

OK, no idea then. Post a question on the site.

ok

how? like this? dhcpcd@enp1s0.service failed to start?

Yes. Show the commands you run and their output. Also make sure you followed the Arch beginners guide.

ok

bye thanks
