I installed arch linux using archinstall and after booting gnome was empty and I couldn't enter my wifi password.
After some debugging, I found that polkit is broken. I tried multiple installs and finally downgraded polkit to polkit-125-1 and that fixed it.
I don't know if this is the right place to report this and I don't have anything else other than the attached screen but I thought I should report this.

Hello, thanks for your report. It looks like an issue with the polkit package on arch and systemd-sysusers, as the group for polkitd hasn't been created, hence tmpfilesd cannot be used and systemd cannot start the daemon under 'polkitd' group with GID 102. Seems like a packaging problem.
I'll investigate some more.

Ha, it looks like your fix is on the way already :)
