dhcpcd can't startup at boot

Question

when I run dhcpcd after boot everything works fine but when I try to add it to auto start systemctl enable [email protected], after each boot it's inactive

[email protected]       loaded inactive dead      start dhcpcd on eth0

Solution 1

systemctl enable dhcpcd.service works for me.

Solution 2

Maybe the ethernet device name is not eth0. Mine is enp3s0. This varies with the ethernet device.

the same, symbolic link is created, service starts but it's dead. I run Arch Linux in VirtualBox on Windows 7 if that matters.

systemctl status [email protected]? Shows any error message?

Ohh, I didn't try this command. Yes, it says no such file or directory.

@don_crissti: thanks, changing name worked for me ;)
