"ping: archlinux.org: Temporary failure in name resolution" in VB

Hi guys,
I have installed a fresh Arch Linux base in Oracle VM Virtual Box, the ping was working, everything fine and suddenly it stops to ping archlinux.org and google.com
I've made a clone in case I screw something but even the clon can't connect.
I'm going to post some useful material in case someone wants to help me (please help me )

# ping google.com
ping: archlinux.org: Temporary failure in name resolution

# ping 127.0.0.1
6 recived/ 0% lost

/etc/resolv.conf is empty.
Appear [ File '/etc/resolv.conf' is unwritable ] in the end of the text (I'm using nano).

Re: "ping: archlinux.org: Temporary failure in name resolution" in VB

Did you create the /etc/hostname file?
and Add matching entries to hosts?

See "Network configuration" in the arch wiki installation guide.

Welcome to the forum.
Please use code tags, not quote tags for shell I/O and file contents.

Your NIC isn't up and doesn't have an IP - that's before any routing, resolver or hostname issues.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … l_packages
Which network managing service did you install & enable?

systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled

dhcpcd should do.

Re: "ping: archlinux.org: Temporary failure in name resolution" in VB

Did you create the /etc/hostname file?
and Add matching entries to hosts?

See "Network configuration" in the arch wiki installation guide.

Yes I did at the beginning and check after again.

nano /etc/hostname
hostname

nano /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localehost
::1 localehost
127.0.1.1 hostname.localdomain hostname

The Network tutorial isn't clear enough for my case.

Again:

Which network managing service did you install & enable?

systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled

If you do not have started any network service, then you should do so.

dhcpcd should do.

Even systemd-networkd should do if you did not install dhcpcd. (just create a file for wired dhcp, and enable and start the two services)

Re: "ping: archlinux.org: Temporary failure in name resolution" in VB

nano /etc/hostname
hostname

The contents of /etc/hostname are supposed to be a unique name that can be used to identify the machine on networks.
Maybe you could use something like vbox1 instead of hostname ?

For privacy I replaced the hostname. In the file it's a unique name.

Understood, please mention that next time you post it.
