[CLOSED - UNSOLVED] How do I work out what NetworkManager I am using

Hi there,

I am running a base arch install and I have s number of different network managers on the system, however, I am unable to work out which one is currently running the network controls. For some reason the eth0 link is currently down and when I try and use networkctl up eth0 I received the following error

WARNING: systemd-networkd is not running, output will be incomplete.

Additionally when I attempt to run

sudo systemctl start sydtemd-networkd.service

I received the following

Job for systemd-networkd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status systemd-networkd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Journalctl -xe

If that output is any indication you are currently not running any service... Which instructions did you follow to set up this system? Is this even an Arch install? A lot of stuff is running that I'd not expect to be there if someone installed for the first time and didn't yet set up networking.

Re: [CLOSED - UNSOLVED] How do I work out what NetworkManager I am using

Thank you for your response. This is definitely Arch Linux, I am running this as a server which is why I added cronnie and fail2ban.

➜  ~ cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Arch Linux"
PRETTY_NAME="Arch Linux"
ID=arch
BUILD_ID=rolling
ANSI_COLOR="38;2;23;147;209"
HOME_URL="https://www.archlinux.org/"
DOCUMENTATION_URL="https://wiki.archlinux.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://bbs.archlinux.org/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.archlinux.org/"
LOGO=archlinux

The environment was set up using the ProxMox Arch Linux PVE Container for base arch, Which in essence follows the same guided instructions as the Arch Linux Installation guide on the archlinux.org

The only steps that I did not personally complete myself were

pacstrap base linux linux-firmware

all of the post-setup installation such as application install etc were completed by me in the chroot environment

Apparently not the part where you chose, installed and configured a network managing service… by default there's none.

You have set all this up and skipped notes from wiki? Strange.
