Loosing network after trying to update from kde4 to plasma5

Working under a new installation under vbox trying to get networking going on working root mode only, the network was not working:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1564959
I installed networkmanager and nm-applet with the help of the archlinux.iso thru the chroot procedure. Rebooted the system without the iso and started networkmananger with:
sytemctl start NetworkManager.service

and better to have permanance:
sytemctl enable NetworkManager.service

Everything worked out fine and I was able to install kdebase-workspace and the kdm login manager to autologin root mode for both the kde environment.

As I wanted to upgrade kde4 to plasma5:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KD … sma_4_to_5
systemctl isolate multi-user.target

I lost networking with no way to reinstate networkmanager thru systemctl:
sytemctl start NetworkManager.service

I would not like to mess too much with my brand new vbox system. I imagine that the solution would be to use the chroot procedure with the iso to be able to finish the kde4 to plasma5 transition. Is it so or is there something else to do?
Thanks.

Re: Loosing network after trying to update from kde4 to plasma5

As simple as:
dhcpcd

And according to dhcpcd wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dh … interfaces

[root@fl-archlinux ~]# ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: enp0s3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 08:00:27:19:b6:bd brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
[root@fl-archlinux ~]# systemctl enable dhcpcd@enp0s3.service
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/dhcpcd@enp0s3.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd@.service.
[root@fl-archlinux ~]#

Thanks.
