[Solved] No DNS resolution on fresh install using systemd-networkd

Hi there,

unfortunately, I'm not able to get DNS resolution working on my freshly installed Arch using systemd-networkd in conjunction with iwd. During installation everything worked well.

I did not touch configuration of either, besides creating the files /etc/systemd/network/20-wired.network and /etc/systemd/network/25-wireless.network (with correct device names).
Interestingly, /etc/resolv.conf is a file, but empty. /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf does not exist.

I suspect systemd-networkd not correctly recognizing the DNS server advertised by DHCP. It works on my Debian device with Network-Manager (wireless and wired) and on iOS devices too.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … _and_setup - 3rd point.
Then https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … figuration

If /etc/resolv.conf is a regular file, resolved won't write it but depend on something else to write it and that something else is not networkd

Ah! I quickly read over it, but didn't recognized the note on systemd-resolvd for DNS over DHCP. Thanks!
