Netctl a start job is running for profile

When booting I get the message: A start job is running for eduroam with eduroam being one of my network profiles.

Here is my journal greping the netctl:

Oct 02 17:22:58 archlinux systemd[1]: Starting eduroam...
Oct 02 17:22:58 archlinux network[449]: Starting network profile 'eduroam'...
Oct 02 17:23:14 archlinux network[449]: Failed to bring the network up for profile 'eduroam'
Oct 02 17:23:14 archlinux systemd[1]: netctl@eduroam.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Oct 02 17:23:14 archlinux systemd[1]: netctl@eduroam.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Oct 02 17:23:14 archlinux systemd[1]: Failed to start eduroam.

Oct 02 17:23:14 archlinux kernel: audit: type=1130 audit(1570029794.889:16): pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 msg='unit=netctl@eduroam comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=failed'

Note that i didn't start eduroam manually.

Here is my 'systemctl list-unit-files --state enabled' output.

UNIT FILE          STATE  
autovt@.service    enabled
getty@.service     enabled
lm_sensors.service enabled
remote-fs.target   enabled

4 unit files listed.

There is no mention of netctl (hence my situation differs from this question)

Re: Netctl a start job is running for profile

netctl@eduroam.service

netctl is trying to load that and failing.

How about

systemctl list-unit-files --state disabled
systemctl list-unit-files --state failed

man journalctl

journalctl -u netctl

Find out what you have, disabled it, remove it or fix it.
