Running into an issue where I have no internet connection. I’ve put iwd so I cam use iwctl for the wifi, enabled iwd.service, syatemd.resolv service and not sure what else i need to do. Ethernet doesn’t work either but i didnt change the settings to UP on it since i wasnt planning on using it. Did chroot from what I read in the manual and no errors that I saw during the base install. Just trying to find the best way to fix lack of internet connectivity so any guidance on the issue would be appreciated.
Installing the Arch way and is new for me and this is the farthest I’ve gotten. I used to use the archinstall in the past but I’m not using that anymore.
Perhaps an error message, troubleshooting steps or really any kind of detail beyond “no internet connection” or “Ethernet doesn’t work” would at the very least provide some kind of troubleshooting starting point. Right now, there’s absolutely nothing to work from.
So something like…
- iwctl doesnt show any devices
- The output of sudo systemctl status iwd
- iwctl finds my WiFi device and I set it up to connect to my network, but I have no internet
- my install can’t find my Ethernet/wifi hardware.
- I installed network manager and used it to setup my Ethernet port, but it’s not working
- the output of lspci
- the output of ip addr
Basically anything at all.
Unfortunately at the time I posted this from my mobile device so had no access to logs etc. Now that I’m up in running already aware of needing to give more information than I did. Thanks for your response as it led me to revisit the step where I missed installing essential packages and installing NetworkManager.
Have you been able to try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the Network configuration page on the wiki?
I actually just did a fresh install and looks like I overlooked adding essential programs step in the wiki. I added iwd before but I also just added NetworkManager. Also thought it best to just put a DE on it instead only running a WM, (I’m normally a awesome wm user on Debian). Before I was going straight from grub install completion to tty. After I started NetworkManager pinging to archlinux.org worked. Maybe sometime I can try to install it again but leave out the DE and see if it was just as simple as leaving out NetworkManager. Not sure of installing a DE would have provided needed programs for my situation or not.
