Why I'm giving message `A start job is running for raise network interfaces` at boot after disabling predictable network interfaces names?
I disabled predictable network interfaces names by changing GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line in /etc/default/grub from:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="pci=nomsi"
to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="pci=nomsi net.ifnames=0"
on a fresh installation of Debian GNU/Linux testing system with installed proprietary NVIDIA drivers. I did it because my external USB Wi-Fi card didn’t work with systemd interfaces names.
After disabling predictable network interfaces names I’m giving following message at boot:
A start job is running for raise network interfaces (2 minutes of 5
mins 1 sec)
and system boots long.
My /etc/network/intefaces file:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
Why am I giving this message at boot? How can I avoid long booting of my system?
Disable the service that waits to start the network interfaces.
systemctl disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service
And to enable:
systemctl enable NetworkManager-wait-online.service
Alternatively you can reduce the amount of time that it waits to start the job.
vim /etc/systemd/system/network-online.target.wants/networking.service
TimeoutStartSec=5min ##Change parameter, should be at the end of the page.
Solved by changing file /etc/network/interfaces.d/setup from:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
to:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
