[SOLVED] IP configuration was unavailable.

Hello, I'm a new user who very recently dual booted my laptop with Arch Linux and recently I have been getting problems with the Network. It would try to connect to the wifi I'm using but fail, but then try again then fail, then it does this repeatedly. I never had this much more difficult for me and this was worser than doing the whole manual Arch Linux installation which possibly took me ~3 days to setup. I tried different methods to get it working but to no avail.(Also, I forgot install konsole and dolphin just a day after I installed Arch Linux and KDE Plasma)

Re: [SOLVED] IP configuration was unavailable.

Please post your complete system journal after a failed attempt to connect to the wifi:

sudo journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999

You can probably use https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Tethering to turn your phone into an ethernet device to get the system online.

I fixed the IP configuration by forgetting the wifi and reconnecting it(will return if I restart my laptop) but now I'm stuck on the limited connectivity

I just forget and reconnected the Wi-Fi and runned sudo systemctl enable —now systemd-resolved and it fixed the whole wifi so I was able to update my system so the attempting connecting and fail loop is gone.
