@edwardtorvalds ok

edward torvalds

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

terdon

And the instructions on the arch wiki don't help

edward torvalds

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

terdon

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

edward torvalds

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

I am stuck at here: wpa_cli

terdon

15:37

just search for arch dhcp

edward torvalds

@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 [email protected] too

terdon

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

edward torvalds

sudo systemctl enable [email protected] ?

I tired this

terdon

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

edward torvalds

oh yes, in my case it is enp1s0

terdon

15:44

sudo systemctl enable [email protected]

edward torvalds

I have these services running already: [email protected], [email protected], system-dhcpcd.slice

sorry I copy pasted eth0 but really I have used enp1s0

enp1s0 is wired, wlp2s0 is wireless

hi seth o/

terdon

@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.
