https://bbs.archlinux.org – the network script I ran above was run from the command line via: sudo /etc/rc.d/network startafter the system started up and I logged in.  Basically the /etc/rc.d/network startup script is broken for me.  For some reason dhcpcd when run from the script fails, yet when I run it manually it is successful. ssptfire https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=44063 2012-08-13T03:54:45Z (HowTos)

Stories similar to dhcpcd not starting correctly via rc.d/network startup script

Network autostart 31 weeks 1 day ago

Yesterday I installed ArchLinux and I really hate systemd. When I start my computer, I have no network connection and have to run dhcpcd to connect. I found this on wiki: # systemctl enable dhcpcd@eth0.serviceIt does not work. I have to run dhcpcd manually every time I start my computer.

I've bought myself a new laptop (Asus UX31E), but I'm having trouble with getting it to connect to a network. Well, sort of at least. In order to establish a connection I have to manually run dhcpcd -x before trying to connect to the network. If not, NetworkManager says it couldn't connect.

The network initscript sources /etc/conf.d/dhcpcd and uses the variable DHCPCD_ARGS:for s in wireless bonding bridges dhcpcd; do [[ -f /etc/conf.d/$s ]] && .

I've disabled dhcpcd but have a similar problem with netcfg - once in a while it doesn't load my profile and I have to manually do a 'sudo netcfg myprofile'. Not sure why that is, and  am guessing that it's got something to do with timing issues when booting up.

Does your network support ipv6? If not, have you tried disabling it altogether? (I think you can do this temporarily for a single boot by editing the parameters on the kernel command line if you are using something like grub to boot.)

Add this to your startup script:xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/local xset fp rehashAlso make sure you have xrdb -load $HOME/.Xresources & in startup script so .Xresources gets loaded.https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fonts#Installation

Splashtop does not launch 1 week 2 days ago

Same here on x86_64. The broken pipe message went away when I started using NetworkManger for network connection (I was using dhcpcd).Did you get yours to work?

The death of the hard-drive with my Xubutu (test) system provided me with the opportunity to try 32 bit Archlinux and (gulp) the new script based installation.I got to network configuration (static IP) and can ping my gateway/DNS server, 8.8.8.8 but not any named web sites.  I thought the network took care of talking to the name-servers, but something's amiss.Also, /etc/pacman.d/mirrorli
