[SOLVED] No ethernet connection after Arch ISO installation

Greetings,

After booting into Arch ISO and partitioning and mounting, I used:

pacman -S networkmanager networkmanager-vpnc network-manager-applet

to download and install NetworkManager.

Then I enabled NetworkManager:

systemctl enable NetworkManager

I ping and I have internet.

Then I reboot without my USB, and I try to ping.

ping: connect: Network is unreachable

Confused, I try to reenable NetworkManager.

systemctl enable NetworkManager
Failed to enable unit: Unit file NetworkManager.service does not exist

I guess my question is how do I reinstall my NetworkManager service onto my actual filesystem and not my USB?

Re: [SOLVED] No ethernet connection after Arch ISO installation

simple question with many posible solutions....

check if it is rly installed

sudo pacman -Q networkmanager
or
nmcli

if not then it looks like u installed network manger onto your usb drive. happends some times if you are new to arch-chroot &mount /mnt etc...

simple solution:
boot into your usb drive
arch-chroot into your installed ssd/hdd and reinstall networkmanager
