[Solved]netctl help please.

netctl help please.

After update today, netctl is broken.

sudo netctl start mynetwork
Failed to start netctl@mynetwork.service: Unit netctl@mynetwork.service has a bad unit file setting.
See system logs and 'systemctl status netctl@mynetwork.service' for details.

systemctl status netctl@mynetwork.service
● netctl@mynetwork.service
     Loaded: bad-setting (Reason: Unit netctl@mynetwork.service has a bad unit file setting.)
     Active: inactive (dead)

cat /etc/systemd/system/netctl@mynetwork.service
.include /usr/lib/systemd/system/netctl@.service

ExecStart=/usr/lib/netctl/network start %I
ExecStop=/usr/lib/netctl/network stop %I

I brought the interface up manually to get here.

ip link set enp2s0 up

ip address add 172.16.0.2/24 broadcast + dev enp2s0

ip route add default via 172.16.0.1 dev enp2s0

I've looked at the wiki. I don't see what has changed.

I've never had ifplugd installed.

I did not get any .pacnew files for pam. I've looked at the forum.

What have I missed?

Re: [Solved]netctl help please.

I found it.

From the wiki.

Journal warnings for profiles using .include directives

Profiles still using systemd's old .include directives...

Answer:

netctl reenable profile

That's what has changed. And I had not updated for a while.
