Wifi is not working

Hello, i installed arch today and installed DE(deepin) but i cant connect wifi with wifi-menu or any wifi softwares. How can i connect ?

When i try connect with netctl , shows this:

netctl@Atilla.service - Automatically generated profile by wifi-menu
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/netctl@.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)
  Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/netctl@Atilla.service.d
           `-profile.conf
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2018-12-01 15:39:48 UTC; 5s ago
     Docs: man:netctl.profile(5)
  Process: 5652 ExecStart=/usr/lib/netctl/network start Atilla (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

Dec 01 15:39:48 unkus-linux systemd[1]: Failed to start Automatically generated profile by wifi-menu.

Actually my profile is generated by wifi-menu yes but i removed it and i created with my hands but it says 'Automatically generated profile by wifi-menu.' again.

I tried disable netctl@Atilla.service.d and i retry to connect with netctl it still shows same error.

I looked enable services showing this -- systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled--:

UNIT FILE                          STATE  
autovt@.service                    enabled

Re: Wifi is not working

Please see the note from
Network_configuration#Network_managers
If you want to use netctl than do not use dhcpcd to control all interfaces.
Edit:
That also applies to wpa_supplicant.service

Re: Wifi is not working

In addition to dhcpcd mentioned above, you also have also enabled the wpa_supplicant service.

Yes, one needs the dhcpcd daemon, and one needs wpa_supplicant daemon if you are using WPA.  But, do not confuse the daemons with the services.  If you are using the netctl service or NetworkManager, they will start the daemons when they need them.  If you enable those services, then systemd will launch its own instances of the daemons -- and those instances will fight with the ones that are started by netctl.
