[SOLVED] No wired Internet connection on new image

[gopher]

Tried all these commands and still no joy. However, I can set eth0 up and down at will, and I get a failure message for the connection at login. That still doesn't tell why it's failing though

[gopher]

Oh and also, when I type $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'netctl status ethernet-dhcp') I end up getting a messages that ends in $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'process: 116 ExecStart=/usr/lib/network/network start %1 (code:exited, status =1/FAILURE')

So at this point I'm inclined to think its a bug in netctl rather than a misconfigured package

[sdjf]

What about running the netctl command with strace to see what system calls it is making?

strace -s 100 -o NAMEOFOUTPUTFILE netctl status ethernet-dhcp

Is in repository if you do not already have it.

And what about posting the netctl profile you are using.

(EDIT: removed misinformation about multiple profiles for same service)

[pepedog]

You can have multiple profiles with same interface. Like netctl-ifplugd@etho will run thru them all.
Likewise netctl-auto@wlan0 will too, which is the whole point of it

Alright I finally figured it out:
First I burned a new image to get rid of any changes I could have made that would make the procedure not work. Then I followed the instructions herehttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dhcpcd#Dynamic_IP_address, inputting this command:$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'dhcpcd eth0') and it worked. I can't believe it was this simple. Apparently the dhcp client daemon wasn't running automatically and that ruined everything. But it's fixed now.
