[SOLVED] resolv.conf does not get created anymore

I'm using netctl-auto for my network connection stuff. Since recently, I don't get into the internet anmyore. I can ping 8.8.8.8, but not www.google.ch. My /etc/resolv.conf does not get created anymore, it is a symlink now to /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf, a file which does not exists...

How can I fix this problem?

You need to start systemd-resolved service. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd-networkd

...or simply delete the symlink and populate /etc/resolv.conf manually with your desired nameservers.

Do you not have openresolv installed?

It is listed as a dependency of netctl and will populate /etc/resolv.conf automatically (once the symlink is removed).

Re: [SOLVED] resolv.conf does not get created anymore

Thanks for the answers. I solved the problem by removing the symlink and generating a new /etc/resolv.conf with openresolv. I hope everything will still work when I connect to an other wifi... We'll see tomorrow...
