[Solved] sys-subsystem-net-devices-multi-user.device -90s timeout boot

Lemongrass · 2017-03-11 21:23:13

Hi, I have a boot problem that is not vital, but time-consuming and annoying.

Every time I boot my machine, I need to wait 90 seconds for sys-subsystem-net-devices-multi-user.device to time out. The machine connects to my wifi, then it searches for ethernet, I guess. I haven't configured ethernet, I said I'll be fine without it.

Things I have tried (homework):

1. Searched on Google
Timeout during boot @ Reddit

then tried:

$ systemctl show -p WantedBy,RequiredBy sys-subsystem-net-devices-multi-user.device
RequiredBy=wpa_supplicant@multi-user.service
WantedBy=

Then disabled the service and another one:

$ sudo systemctl disable wpa_supplicant@multi-user.service
systemctl disable netctl-auto@NetworkManager.service

Still not working.

2. Had a look at this topic
but it's not the same as mine. I don't seem to have that config file (privoxy.service).

Tried searching for the service that causes this by:

sudo grep -ir eth0 /etc/systemd/*
sudo grep -ir enp7s0 /etc/systemd/*
sudo grep -ir eth0 /etc/netctl/*
sudo grep -ir enp7s0 /etc/netctl/*

But found nothing (except some example files in netclt directory)

3. I didn't find a solution on the Netctl page on Arch Wiki.

Could anyone please help me find out why is this happening?

Additional info:

$ sudo journalctl -b | grep sys-subsystem-net-devices-multi-user.device
Mar 11 21:50:41 Lemongrass-pc systemd[1]: sys-subsystem-net-devices-multi-user.device: Job sys-subsystem-net-devices-multi-user.device/start timed out.
Mar 11 21:50:41 Lemongrass-pc systemd[1]: Timed out waiting for device sys-subsystem-net-devices-multi-user.device.
Mar 11 21:50:41 Lemongrass-pc systemd[1]: sys-subsystem-net-devices-multi-user.device: Job sys-subsystem-net-devices-multi-user.device/start failed with result 'timeout'.

ip link says enp7s0 is down.

I have wpa_supplicant, dialog and iw installed. Formerly wifi-radar too, but I removed that.

What is the output of:

systemctl list-unit-files --state enabled

Hi jasonwryan, thank you again for showing kindness

$ systemctl list-unit-files --state enabled
UNIT FILE                          STATE  
autovt@.service                    enabled
dbus-fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.service enabled
getty@.service                     enabled
netctl@wlp6s0\x2dViharos.service   enabled
ufw.service                        enabled

wpa_supplicant@.service            enabled
remote-fs.target                   enabled

8 unit files listed.

Disable all of the network services and then just enable the one you want to use (presumably netctl).

Thank you really much, this worked!

For me it was a file here
ls /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ | grep dhcp
dhcpcd@enp6s0.service

So
sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd@enp6s0.service
