[SOLVED] No ping - Temporary failure in name resolution

toni · 2021-06-28 09:51:04

I have installed a fresh Arch Linux from the scratch into a VirtualBox virtual machine.
My vbox virtual machine has configured as NAT (which is associated to the WiFi of the host Windows 10 computer).
Within the Arch Linux installation process, I was having internet connection without problems.
After following all the steps indicated in the installation guide wiki, I have arrived to the last one, reboot the computer to enter in the new system.
New system boots ok without any problems and I get to the console prompt, I log in with my user and when I try to do a ping below message appears:

Temporary failure in name resolution

Below I attached a screenshot showing the results for the commands:

# ip link
# ip address
# lspci -k

Screenshot

I would like to install the minimun packages required to make internet work.

How can I do this?

Finally I have solved by performing this:

# sudo systemctl enable dhcpcd@<interface>.service
# sudo systemctl start dhcpcd@<interface>.service

where interface is the name of the interface which can be obtained executing

# ip link

Since in my case the name of the interface is enp0s3:

# sudo systemctl enable dhcpcd@enp0s3.service
# sudo systemctl start dhcpcd@enp0s3.service

Then reboot.

If after reboot the system hangs forever (as in my case), it is due dhcpcd service starts before your network card module so it is necessary to create a file in /etc/modules-load.d/<file-name>.conf where file-name can be any you desired (for example the manufacturer ot your network card). This file must contain a line with the name of the kernel driver in use that you know if you execute lspci -v, in my case the name of de kernel drive in use is e1000 so I do the following:

# tee /etc/modules-load.d/intel.conf <<< "e1000"
