Connect to the University network

Dyamon · 2013-09-27 08:28:16

Hi, i've got some problems with my university connection (never tried it with arch before)...
I can't figure out what i have to do...basically, on other OS', once my computer is connected with my wire i have to go to the browser. There i can get my internet connection with a sort of "gate page" with username and password...

How can i do this in arch linux, with netctl?

Just like other OSes.
1. Use "/etc/netctl/examples/ethernet-dhcp" to establish your wired connection (copy that file to /etc/netctl and then start it by "netctl start name-of-the-profile-file").
2. Then use browser to authenticate.

Mmm...something is wrong...
I copied the fileand modified the interface name, but when i try to start it with netctl it says:

Job for netctl@enp3s0\x2dsuperiore.service failed. See 'systemctl status netctl@enp3s0\x2dsuperiore.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

Here is the 'systemctl status netctl@enp3s0\x2dsuperiore.service':

netctl@enp3s0x2dsuperiore.service - Networking for netctl profile enp3s0x2dsuperiore
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/netctl@.service; static)
   Active: inactive (dead)
   Docs: man:netctl.profile(5)

And here is my 'journalctl -xn'

Do you know what may be wrong? (I'm a little arch newbie, searching for help!!!)

Apparently enp3s0 does not have a network cable plugged in to it....

Don't know exactly what was going on, but it started, and it works!
Thank you very much!!!

Figure out what protocol your University uses. My university use WPA2-Enterprise with PEAP/MSCHAPV2.
