7. Post Installation
Table of Contents
Check the firewall status
NOTE: From now on substitute “sudo” for “doas” if you’ve chosen it during the installation.
sudo ufw status verbose
Troubleshooting: If for some reason the firewall status is “inactive” run “sudo ufw enable”.
Check the network status
ping archlinux.org
Connect to the Wi-Fi network
Unplug the ethernet cord and enter “conmanctl”.
Check if Wi-Fi is enabled:
technologies
If “Powered” is “False”:
enable wifi
Troubleshooting: If you get “No carrier” error, type “rfkill list” to check if the Wi-Fi interface is soft-blocked. If so, “rfkill unblock wifi” should resolve the issue.
Scan and list available networks:
scan wifi
services
Enable agent to handle user requests:
agent on
Connect to the network and enter it’s passphrase:
connect wifi_networkname
Quit out of “conmanctl” interface and check the connection:
ping -c 3 archlinux.org
Check for system updates
sudo pacman -Syu
At this point you have a fully functional Arch Linux system, but there are still few things left.
