Re: Post Installation Issue

I think the easiest solution would be to set up systemd-networkd and systemd-resolved. Since they are available by default. You don't need to install more packages considering you don't have internet access.

I will try but what about my bluescreen issue.
I have tried a lot but got no solution.

Edit(1): sorry for the mistakes.

Oops, sorry. I missed that. 
How did you set up gnome? Perhaps you just missed some steps. 

And why did you capitalize all of the words in the first sentence? And a period/full stop in the middle of the second sentence?

At installation Time.after setup grub boot loader. I wrote these codes

 pacman -S gnome

 pacman -S gdm

 systemctl enable gdm.service

 systemctl start gdm.service

But there are only one reply i got " start " can't  be run at chroot mode.

When i exit the chroot mode and wrote the last two lines it says"  unit gdm.service not found "

Re: Post Installation Issue

Ok, so just clarify. 

The login manager GDM behaves normally, but when you login with GDM, the "no icons and settings" situation happens. Is that right? Well, at least I guess you successfully enable GDM in that case.

I don't know much about setting up gnome with GDM. But If I were you, I'd try to disable GDM for now, and just try to get gnome to start manually: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME#Manually

Btw why did you capitalize "Time"? And why did you add a period/full stop (.) after "Time"? Why didn't you capitalize the "i"s?

Firstly, the (desperate) pleas for help are usually not well received. While we understand it is frustrating if things don't work out the way you like, it is not helping your situation.

Secondly: How are you installing Arch?

Thanks for your clarification. And thankyou very much for your effort. Plese don't take my mistakes  seriously because i am very bad in english.
But i have a doubt -" without gdm how gnome will start."

Re: Post Installation Issue

Just try it. It's unnecessary to use a login/display manager. 
If you have difficulties communicating your problem, perhaps just take a picture or screenshot.

Secondly: How are you installing Arch?

I use the USB method to install the arch. First I partitioned the disk with

 cfdisk 

Make 4 partition as EFI system, Root , Swap, Home.
=>  Choose root partion to install bse
Install the base by

 pacstrap /mnt  base linux linux-firmware 

Go further for setting timezone.
Update Fstab.
Move into root

 arch-chroot /mnt 

Install the GRUB boot loader. And also installing gnome,gdm,xorg.

I have mentioned my installation
way shortly

Re: Post Installation Issue

I was more fishing at whether you were using some (most likely outdated, and most definitely unsupported) YouTube video, or the proper (and only supported) way according to the Official(TM) Installation Guide.

It is expected behavior that (some) services are not started when you're in a chroot, especially in the case of a display manager. The installation guide also more or less suggests you restart your system after installing the base system and bootloader (and, if applicable, enabling relevant services).

Thanks for your support. I will try to install arch linux once again.my bad luck
