i just installed ubuntu server on my laptop and everything works fine except for the fact that at boot if the laptop is not connected to ethernet or in range of my wi-fi i get this message "A start job is running for wait for network to be configured" that stays for about 2 minutes. I looked up online for solutions and i tried to:



  • Disable network manager

  • Edit timeout settings in /etc/systemd/system.conf

  • Disable systemd.networkd-wait-online.service

None of these solutions worked for me. Any possible fixes?

Use



systemctl disable systemd-networkd-wait-online.service


to disable the wait-online service to prevent the system from waiting on a network connection, and use



systemctl mask systemd-networkd-wait-online.service


to prevent the service from starting if requested by another service (the service is symlinked to /dev/null).

    @SD @jaime-hablutzel See askubuntu.com/a/816378/445084 for an explanation of systemctl mask. Long story short: masking a service redirects it to /dev/null, preventing it from being re-enabled in the case that it is required by another service.

Don't mask or disable the systemd service.



Edit /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml and add optional: true to any devices that may not always be available.

This means systemd-networkd-wait-online.service is hanging. There's a few known bugs with it. Check what services want network-online.target with:



systemctl show -p WantedBy network-online.target


You can disable those services if you want. Otherwise, you may have to mask the service as Mr.Ecco indicated.

              Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! When you answer, please refrain from posting commands without context. We'd like to see why a given command fixes a problem. Also, as a side note, unless you manually enabled systemd-networkd-wait-online.service, those two commands are not sufficient.
