[SOLVED] a start job is running for sys-subsystem-net-devices..

Hi all...

I'm very sick and tired about waiting for 90 seconds every boot
"a start job is running for sys-subsystem-net-devices-interface-name.device"
I thought this post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=222246 could solve it, but it doesn't work for me.

Thanks in advance

Paul

It's because you cut and pasted from the wiki. You are supposed to substitute _interface-name_ with the actual name of your interface.

The solution is to disable the misnamed service so that it doesn't impede your boot.

Jason, I'm newbie...please be more clear:
sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd@enp4s0.service doesn't work; what have I to disable?

What are the output of find /etc/systemd and of uname -a   ?

1. Use code tags when pasting to the boards: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … s_and_code

2. Set a hostname, otherwise you will experience other network-related issues.

3. You still have the dhcpcd@interface_name.service enabled.
