[SOLVED] Dhcpc_ permission denied when I try to start i fort

I recently installed Arch to my laptop and got it working completely, network and everything, but after a restart dhcpcd won't start, and I'm thinking it's because the PID file didn't clear on reboot. Is it possible to fix this by just deleting said PID file? If so, where is it?

Please paste the output of `systemctl restart dhcpcd@interface.service` or just the generic service if you aren't starting it per interface.

I'm manually transcribing this on my phone so apologies for any possible typos.

Failed to restart dhcpcd@wlp1s0.service: The name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 was not provided by any .service files
See system logs and 'systemctl status dhcpcd@wlp1s0.service' for details.

That was actually done without elevated privileges. This is what happens when done as root:

Job for dhcpcd@wlp1s0.service failed because the service did not take the steps required by its unit configuration.
See "systemctl status dhcpcd@wlp1s0.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Do you have polkit installed?

I don't, but I have no way to install it because I can't even get internet via tethering anymore.

You should be able to connect manually.

There is no Ethernet on this machine. I'm gonna try to boot up the iso and chroot into the install to fix it that way.

I feel silly. My only problem turned out to be that I forgot to start up WPA supplicant. As soon as I do that I can connect right away.
