[Solved] Temporary failure in name resolution

Hello guys, I'm a newbie here and just install Arch Linux.
Here's the problems:

1. When I `ping google.com` it'll come out "Temporary failure in name resolution"
I already edit my /etc/resolv.conf with adding "nameserver: 8.8.8.8" inside but it's not working.

2. When pinging 8.8.8.8 it comes out "Network is unreachable"

3. So also when I using pacman it'll come out "Could not resolve host: address"

I'm not sure where's the problem, thanks for helping.

How do you manage your network?

Re: [Solved] Temporary failure in name resolution

Start by telling us how you set up networking. Ethernet, WiFi, resolver, network manager, dhcp.

And ftr, I'm not sure whether "nameserver: 8.8.8.8" is accepted syntax, but it's certainly ill-formed (no colon there)

Re: [Solved] Temporary failure in name resolution

I use iwctl to connect my wifi

$ iwctl
NetworkConfigurationEnabled: disabled
StateDirectory: /var/lib/iwd
Version: 1.24
[iwd]#

here's my "ip a"

$ ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default q len 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: enp2s0f0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWNgroupdefault qlen1000
    link/ether 88:a4:c2:3f:38:c1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4.wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether e0:0a:f6:54:e4:61: brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet6 fe80::e20a:f6ff:fe54:e461/64 scope link
        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

If you need anything else I'll try to show it. Thanks!

You've a carrier but no lease.

Re: [Solved] Temporary failure in name resolution

Looks like you didn't set up an IP, or any way to get one. IWD, by default, just makes the connection, similar to plugging in a cable. See the IWD wiki page.

I followed the link to setup files and there's a new question.
When I ping it, it comes out

$ ping google.com
ping: google.com Name or service not known
$ ping 8.8.8.8
From 192.168.1.10 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable

Re: [Solved] Temporary failure in name resolution

The article describes different options. It would help if you could tell us what you did.

Re: [Solved] Temporary failure in name resolution

please post (fresh) outputs of

$ ip address
$ ip route
$ ip -6 route

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.


(A works at time B)  && (time C > time B ) ≠  (A works at time C)

I'm sorry, but what do you mean different options? I might not notice about it.

And here's the ip things:

$ ip address

Re: [Solved] Temporary failure in name resolution

I'm sorry, but what do you mean different options?

from your ip a/r output I guess you copy-and-failed the static server config example?
Don't (because that's 99.99% not the correct values) and post an updated

ip a; ip r

Also (after removing the static server config and restarting iwd/rebooting)

sudo nmap --script broadcast-dhcp-discover

Re: [Solved] Temporary failure in name resolution

I don't have nmap and dhcp command, do I need to reinstall the os?

Re: [Solved] Temporary failure in name resolution

You can download the nmap package and usb-walk it onto the system (or download and install them w/ the install iso)
However, first provide the requested output after removing the static IP config (if you have added such, which you would please confirm or deny)

Specifically, then only option you should add to the configuration in post #1 is the EnableNetworkConfiguration setting. Nothing else.
When that works (e.g. ping 8.8.8.8), then you can continue with configuring the DNS resolver.

Re: [Solved] Temporary failure in name resolution

After I delete the IPv4 in /var/lib/iwd/network.psk, the connection works fine now.
Also I added EnableNetworkConfiguration setting.
Thanks for everyone's replies, seems I still have lots of work to learn.
