Daemon dont want to start

Just installed woodoo without internet connect

so I typed in bash:

dhcpcd

and I'm out to the net.

But I don't want to do that thing every time I'm boot up my computer.

So I read this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Daemons , and typed in bash:

/etc/rc.d/dhcpcd start

and get this back:

bash: /etc/rc.d/dhcpcd: No such file or directory

..so I need some help to get dhcpcd act like a daemon, sombody?

Re: Daemon dont want to start

/etc/rc.d/network start (or put network in rc.conf's daemons array)
ls /etc/rc.d for available daemons

Re: Daemon dont want to start

You can't get it working by guessing.  Just because you use "dhcp" doesn't mean every command that has "dhcp" in it will do what you want.

dhcpd is a server daemon.  It runs a dhcp *server*.  You want the client.

Look at your original response:

/etc/rc.d/network start
Network is already running. Try network restart

Did you do what it said?

/etc/rc.d/network restart

Re: Daemon dont want to start

There's a good article in the wiki about automatic network configuration at boot time:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wir … p_and_Boot

This should not only help with wireless devices but with every time of network device.

Diagnosis is real hard to do if you don't provide us with information.  Why didn't it help you? Can you provide output of 'ifconfig -a' at each step of the process?

Re: Daemon dont want to start

Re: Daemon dont want to start

I am reading your responses and also have a hard time understanding what you want.

Are you connecting directly or through a wireless device?

           If directly have you installed ifplugd and added the daemon to rc.conf.

           If via wireless:
                               are you roaming or consistently connecting to the same device?
                               on boot up do you receive any errors? (8B2A etc)

Would you please give us more information so we can accurately determine what needs to be changed in your setup. i.e. Configuration files and your setup.

I personally roam a lot so on boot I do not start my network connections but start ifplugd. Then I have small script that I can use if I am wireless to connect to whatever router is nearby. The benefit is great for roaming as boot time is really decreased and starting the script takes milliseconds as then it knows exactly who to connect to. You could also set dhcpcd to start when you start your DE or WM.

Re: Daemon dont want to start

Okey if you tell me how I'm  going to do the last thing you told me.

You could also set dhcpcd to start when you start your DE or WM.

Then you have solved my problem! cause thats what I want!! Get dhcpcd up and running!

I use fluxbox.
And yes, I'm connecting directly.
