Hello guys.
I have a problem with ntctl and I'm not sure it's normal or no.
Everytime I boot my laptop I have start job running as shown below

When I disable every netctl profiles (I'm using 2) problem dissapeard but then my wifi connection won't start automattically.
Is it normal netctl need this job at boot or may I fix it somehow?

Thanks for any reply.

Don't post images of text, paste the actual text. If you do post an image, read the Code of Conduct and only post thumbnails http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cod … s_and_code

Include details of the profiles you are using, configs etc.

Moving to NC...

Check your journalctl to see where netctl fails.
Take a look at netctl's interface configuration.

When I grep journalctl I have several times line :

Mar 22 00:27:28 archlinux systemd[1]: netctl@Gimbus.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE

[EDIT]
I found small misstatement on Archwiki, this page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/netctl:

For wireless interfaces, install package wpa_actiond: After starting and enabling netctl-auto@interface.service profiles are started/stopped automatically as you move from the range of one network into the range of another network (roaming).

Shouldn't it be

systemctl enable netctl-auto@interface.service

?

We know it means services enabling by systemctl but for new users it can be missunderstood.

So read the journal for that service and see why it is failing.

Also, paste the output of:

systemctl list-unit-files --state enabled

Ok it looks like thread is expired. This problem I had on my previous Arch installation so I don' remember excaxtly where was the problem.
On my current I had something similar when I booted Linux there was a start is job running for network I randomly my network interfaces did not up., but I found out I had two services enabled:

netctl-auto@interface.service

and

netctl@my_netwokrkname.service

So i disabled the second one and it looks good now.

Marking as SOLVED
