[SOLVED]Network interface loading failed using systemctl.

Hello.

I am trying to make dcpcd start when the computer boots, following the Arch Wiki. Essentially I am trying to do

sudo systemctl start dhcpcd@eth0

, but I am unable to get it done, and produces the following error

Failed to issue method call: unit dchpcd@eth0.service failed to load. No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status dhcpcd@eth0.service'  for details

Running

sudo systemctl status dhcpcd@eth0.service

produces the following:

dhcpcd@eth0.service - dhcpcd on eth0:
                   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd@.service; disabled)
                   Active:   inactive (dead)
                   CGroup: name=systemd:/system/dhcpcd@.service/eth0

Could someone help me troubleshoot?

Re: [SOLVED]Network interface loading failed using systemctl.

Do you have a pure systemd installation or are there still daemons running from /etc/rc.conf?

I solved the problem.

Initially I run a

 sudo dhcpcd eth0

and got assigned an ip address. Then, i managed to get

 sudo systemctl start dhcpcd@eth0 

to run
