I installed Arch a few months ago and it worked fine. Now, there's no network connection, and I can't even seem to start the network manager service.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=170524 suggests running these commands, and here's the output:
$ systemctl status NetworkManager
Unit NetworkManager.service could not be found
$ systemctl restart NetworkManager
Failed to restart NetworkManager.service: Unit NetworkManager.service not found
$ systemctl enable NetworkManager
Failed to enable unit: File NetworkManager.service: No such file or directory
Also, the config file /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf mentioned in the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … orkManager doesn't seem to exist:
$ ls /etc/NetworkManager
dispatcher.d
The wiki also suggests "NetworkManager can be installed with the package networkmanager." But
sudo pacman -S networkmanager
fails because there's no network connection.

Is it supposed to be nearly empty? This is also the only file in /var/log.
$ cat /var/log/pacman.log

Pacman takes forever to fail to install networkmanager. It prints out this when I try:
$ sudo pacman -S networkmanager

I just ended it there because the process repeats a similar error for each package.
I hope that was all worth it lol, I had to type that out manually. Can't copy-paste to the forum from a VM with no internet connection

No. If that is it in it's entirety, something horrific has happened.

Copy it to the machine you are using.
We need the ability to see full logs. If you can't provide those, we can't help.
#edit: if NM was never installed, how were you managing your network? How did you install Arch?

That's all that comes up every time I try.
$ cd /var/log
$ ls

$ cat pacman.log

Then read through your (and root's) shell history to see what you have done to cause this...

Hmm, I think I've managed to fix it myself. While NetworkManager wasn't installed, I was able to get an internet connection using
sudo systemctl stop dhcpcd
sudo systemctl start dhcpcd
Then I was able to sudo pacman -Syyu, install networkmanager, and run it.

Make sure you remember to mark your thread as solved by prepending [SOLVED] to the title of the first post.
