Cannot access internet even with ethernet

[sullen nest]

I cannot connect to the internet arch install is done was going to install wm and other stuff but internet had other ideas.

Tried fixes: using iwd, nmcli, wlan_supplicator, running it off of ethernet

@serene quest you said to ping so

[slow pier]

show me sudo systemctl status NetworkManager.service

[sullen nest]

i accidentally deleted it so i think it would say network manager not found

but let me see

yup networkmanager not found or something

[waxen kestrel]

You need to installe NetworkManager in ordre to have access to internet

[mystic bolt]

try sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd.service
and sudo systemctl start systemd-networkd.service

[sullen nest]

and after that?

[slow pier]

create file /etc/systemd/network/20-wired.network with following content:

[Match]
Name=eth0

[Network]
DHCP=yes

change eth0 with the name of your ethernet interface name (you can list network interfaces with ip a, the ethernet is the usually the one that starts with en or eth)

after that, run sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd.service

oh yeah and also enable/start systemd-resolved.service

[sullen nest]

right and after that reinstall network manager (and nmcli?)

[slow pier]

yeah

[sullen nest]

thank you

[small willow]

miskyy received a thank you cookie!

[slow pier]

no problem

just disable systemd-networkd.service after

installing and enabling networkmanager

[sullen nest]

about that

the file doesnt exist

why is wifi not wifi-ing

[rigid oasis]

Hello ./MrInvisible.sh,

If you need wifi, you can use nmcli,
or if you want somewhat easy (which I do btw), use nmtui -> Activate a connection and Choose your WiFi.

Or if you happen to have Desktop Environment installed, KDE Plasma and GNOME supports NetworkManager, straight out of the box.

If at all possible get a wired connection to be able to install and setup your WiFi. Fixing anything without internet or at least local networking is agonizing.

[sullen nest]

nope

nmtui not found

[sullen nest]

@slow pier could i possibly create the file myself?

I'm guessing no?

[slow pier]

oh yes absolutely

i guess you still didn't get the internet ethernet working?

[sullen nest]

i have a feeling ill have something missing too

[sullen nest]

yeah no

i might just reinstall at this point

[slow pier]

like what?

regarding the network config file i was talking about earlier, it's normal it's not here by default, you have to make it yourself

that's why i said "create file"

[sullen nest]

so just create a file like that and paste the eth info and other stuff you mentioned

[slow pier]

yes

[sullen nest]

.

oh wow

im blind

create file

yeah my bad lmao

[slow pier]

don't worry

[sullen nest]

i thought you meant just change the config

[sullen nest]

im assuming i have to have ethernet connected when im making the file for ip a

[slow pier]

you don't need it rn

ip a lists all network interfaces

regardless if they're used or not, plugged in to the network or not etc

[sullen nest]

right

[sullen nest]

and then if i connect it to ethernet it should work

🤞

[slow pier]

yes, it absolutely should

[pearl oar]

ip a will list devices even if the networking is broken/down. As long as it detects the network interface/card/device

[rigid oasis]

Alright, after some reading it turns out I assumed you use NetworkManager instead of something else, woops sorry!
