I installed networkmanager with pacman during the installation (and more packages) but when i boot into the system there is no connection. Doing ip addr show shows the lo thingy and the ethernet connection, but it doesnt put an IP. it also says DOWN in red letters, which ig means its not working.

I read the wiki page for network management and did the steps it said to enable the module but it didnt work. I have so many questions... (Why is the network not working, why does my user void not have a home directory, why cant i even go back to the root user, why dont i have a GUI....)

I am sorry if i didnt post the exact outputs of the commands but i cant even connect with SSH so i cant copy the outputs...

Im off to a rough start :c
