Looks like a problem with DNS, try pinging an IP address like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 instead.

Hi,

I have just booted into a fresh install of Arch Linux (on a vm) I tested my internet with ping and I get this...1257216248_ScreenShot2020-08-16at6_49_48PM.thumb.png.cd7366834165a96f4240b4891d71d885.png

Thanks

Do you have dhcpd enabled? Why did you say wifi if it's a VM?

open /etc/hosts with a text editor and send a screenshot
also if its a vm did you set the network adapter as NAT or what

fresh install

Read 👏 the 👏 wiki 👏

 

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_configuration#Network_management

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dhcpcd

 

Assuming your VM's network is configured correctly you should be able to get an IP from your router just by enabling the dhcpcd service

  

sudo systemctl enable --now dhcpcd

 

By the way for future reference this has nothing to do with wifi - the virtual machine sees your connection as wired.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

sudo chmod -R 000 /*

Then I guess it's no longer included in the base metapackage, which means you need to either install it yourself (using the installation image to chroot into your system since you don't have a connection) or set an address manually

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Dhcpcd is no longer included in Arch Base.

 

If your using a graphical environment you need to install and enable NetworkManager.

 

If your not using a graphical environment then install and enable dhcpcd.

 

You can actually use either regardless, just for simplicity I'd pick one or the other based on the above. More graphical front ends use NetworkManager.

 

You will need to boot your Arch Install Media and mount and chroot into your install, to install them.

 

Otherwise you need to set a static IP.

Did you remember to install network packages during install? Seems not. Boot into the install ISO and arch-chroot into the install and 

pacman -S dhcpcd NetworkManager

then reboot into the install then 

systemctl enable --now dhcpcd NetworkManager

You don't need both. Just one or the other.
