Hi Ralph, > Unless the remote hands are used to precisely editing configuration > files, this might be something where a mistake has been made.
We verified the dhcp file, and I'm pretty sure it's okay. My friend may be a linux noob, but he's an experienced engineer and learling fast :-) It's not the first time he has to edit a config file. Scanning the available docs, I found out that systemd-networkd is enabled by default. Could this be in conflict with netctl ? It is disabled here on my system (also using netctl), but I don't remember doing that. Maybe it's done by installing netctl. Or it wasn't set enabled by default at the time when I first installed (many years ago). On the laptop, netctl was installed as part of the pacstrap, so it could be that the disabling of systemd-networkd was not persistent. Just guessing ATM. It will be a few hours before we continue the 'remotely supported installation' - we have 6 hours time zone difference... Ciao, -- FA
