[arch-general] Beginner's Guide: Disable dhcpd service before setting static ip
Hi, In the setting up network section of beginner's guide [1], there should be an instruction to disable dhcpd service before setting up the static ip, otherwise dhcpd automatically rewrites the resolv.conf file, removing user set details. Wanted to confirm if I am right. Can I edit the wiki to include the instruction: 'systemctl stop dhcpd.service' in the beginning of the "Wired" section?

don't you mean 'systemctl stop dhcpcd.service'? The dhcpd is the dhcp server, dhcpcd the client. -- toerb

yes it should be `systemctl stop dhcpcd.service`. I had typed the earlier one from memory. -- Siddhartha Sahu

That stops the service all right, but it doesn't disable it. On next boot it will be started again. What you probably want is to stop *and* disable: # systemctl stop dhcpcd.service # systemctl disable dhcpcd.service -- Rodrigo

He is talking about the dhcpcd service on the install image, so disable wouldn't be very useful. -- Alexandre Medeiros

No, the Beginners-Guide section at issue here is about getting the Network going when initialy booting into the Arch installation environment. At that point, the user still outside the chroot. There is a separate section further down below in the guide which deals with making network config persistent while chrooted inside the newly installed system. -- Bruno

# systemctl stop dhcpcd.service # systemctl disable dhcpcd.service
That is an instruction for during Arch Linux installation, so just stopping the service is enough here :) -- Siddhartha Sahu
