"Temporary failure in name resolution" error

Hi guys, I have an error (after installation and removal of the installation environment) where after connecting to ANY wireless network via IWD I get a "Temporary failure in name resolution" when trying to do any task which requires internet connection, for example ping. I have tried:

- Updating the /etc/resolv.conf file with another DNS (the file was empty for some reason, not sure if it supposed to be like that)
- Powering on and off my wireless card

Also, when I was checking the systemd service process tree, I did not notice a "NetworkManager" which I assume would have been crucial. Any help is appreciated greatly

Re: "Temporary failure in name resolution" error

Did you set IWD up to configure the network? Did you set up systemd-resolved?

See the IWD page in the wiki. Read through the whole thing if you want to use IWD.

I cannot enable it through the config file. Please help me

Re: "Temporary failure in name resolution" error

What do you mean you "cannot enable it"?
What exact configuration changes did you make and did you restart iwd afterwards?
