installing netctl - getting errors

Postby permitivity » Mon Jul 01, 2013 5:40 am

Hello,
I'm trying to install netctl using this command:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'p')acman -Sy wireless_tools netctl ifplugd wpa_actiond



And I get the following errors. It's true that those files like "/usr/bin/wifi-menu" exists already. I think they existed before I ran the command? But, I'm just not sure what to do about it. Thanks for any insights.

Edit: It occured to me that I might just try "pacman -S netctl". I tried it, still getting those "file already exists" errors.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
# pacman -Sy wireless_tools netctl ifplugd wpa_actiond

OoOoo, that worked. Thanks.

I installed arch fresh just this weekend. I'm sure I didn't explicitly install netcfg, so I guess somehow it was installed. Maybe it comes with the Arch install by default.

I got a kinda formula for converting to netctl, but certain devices are a problem, eg cubox prefers netctl-ifplugd, raspberrypi prefers dhcpc@, but if possible netctl enable profilename is best as it gives instant ssh disconnect
