[SOLVED] DNS configuration issue

Hello all,

I have ArchLinux ARMv7 running on a Banana Pi connected to my router with an Ethernet cable.

I have trouble connecting to the network. I can ping 8.8.8.8 but not http://www.google.com

As suggested in the wiki, I need to check my DNS configuration:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_configuration#Check_the_connection

I noticed that my /etc/resolv.conf file exits but is empty (maybe it’s a broken symbolic link?) so the DNS servers are not listed. I can’t edit it (even as root) either and it’s not recommended to edit it manually anyway.

I also tried to set up a static IP address by creating a profile with netctl. However, I can’t start the profile. I get this error:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')Failed to start netctl@eth0.service: The name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 was not provided by any .service files
See system logs and 'systemctl status netctl@eth0.service' for details.

If your resolv.conf is a symlink, see if it points to the /run location for systemd-resolved, which is fairly dependent on systemd-networkd. If that is the case, and you wish to continue with netctl, remove the symlink and create an empty file, then re-connect to the network.

Problem solved! You were right, /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink pointing to /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf. However this file doesn’t exist so the symlink is broken.

I removed the symlink:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# rm /etc/resolv.conf')
and created an empty file:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# vim /etc/resolv.conf')
I noticed that /etc/resolvconf.conf didn’t mention any name servers so I added this line:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'n')ame_servers=8.8.8.8
