Running into an issue where I have no internet connection. I’ve put iwd so I cam use iwctl for the wifi, enabled iwd.service, syatemd.resolv service and not sure what else i need to do. Ethernet doesn’t work either but i didnt change the settings to UP on it since i wasnt planning on using it. Did chroot from what I read in the manual and no errors that I saw during the base install. Just trying to find the best way to fix lack of internet connectivity so any guidance on the issue would be appreciated.

Installing the Arch way and is new for me and this is the farthest I’ve gotten. I used to use the archinstall in the past but I’m not using that anymore.

    Awesome! Yep, definitely been there before too. Sometimes premature optimization gets you into more trouble: trying to set up something minimal when the conventional, more widely used approach “just works”.

    I will say you build more of an appreciation for how everything works when you have to struggle a bit. Especially networking. I was setting up a static IP the other day and took me more time than I care to admit to figure out it was a 0 instead of a 1 in my gateway. But I took some notes so next time I have to do that hopefully it’ll go a bit smoother.
