[kingi]

My static netctl profile wont turn on. Here's paste of the profile and error messages. Tried googling it but didnt find any fixes that would fix my problem, ideas? edit: cant paste properly cause it contains too many urls

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')root@kingrasp netctl]# cat kingistat

[kingi]

got it to work , not sure how but one part was -> systemctl disable dhcpcd@eth0.service

[mverbist]

I experienced the same error.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he interface of network profile 'eth0' is already up

[glnds]

By default the service netctl-ifplugd@interface.service is indeed running.
The behaviour of this service includes the following:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'n')etctl-ifplugd@interface.service will prefer profiles which use DHCP. To prefer a profile with a static IP, you can use AutoWired=yes

[pepedog]

This is interesting

You guys make this much harder than it has to be. Just replace /etc/netctl/eth0 with with the examples/ethernet-static file, edit the eth0 file to set the IP and all, reboot, done.

Seriously, that's it.
