I have fresh installation of Ubuntu Server 18.04. Until it is all set up and tested, I want it to be connected to both wired and wifi network.



My /etc/netplan directory contains two files:



01-netcfg.yaml



network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
wifis:
wlp58s0:
dhcp4: yes
dhcp6: yes
access-points:
"MyNetworkName":
password: "MyPassword"


50-cloud-init.yaml:



network:
ethernets:
eno1:
addresses: []
dhcp4: true
optional: true
version: 2


When the server boots up, it stays for 2 minutes on this message:



A start job is running for Wait for Network to be Configured.


While this message is displayed, the server can be pinged over the wired IP, but not over the wifi IP. It can be pinged over the wifi IP right after the 2 minutes of waiting have passed and user prompt is displayed on the connected display.



When I log on, ifconfig shows that both interfaces have initialized fine: both have received their IP addresses from the router, the server is reachable over the network at both IPs.



Here's the output of networkctl list command right after boot:



$ networkctl list
IDX LINK TYPE OPERATIONAL SETUP
1 lo loopback carrier unmanaged
2 eno1 ether routable configured
3 wlp58s0 wlan routable configured


The wifi router is about 2 meters close, the signal is very strong. Since I don't plan to restart the server too much, the problem of waiting is bearable. But I am afraid this could be a symptom of some network configuration that should be fixed before things get bad.

  • This shows that in the end the network interfaces were both configured via networkd. I think you should file a bug report (ubuntu-bug systemd) about this issue.

  • Is there any way to know what that happened during that waiting time? For some reason, having the wired connection ready was not enough. It had to have both wired and wireless to proceed. And the exact 2 minutes mark feels kind of non-random.

  • I'm seeing a very similar problem, but I only have wifi. It stalls for two minutes and then starts up, but at that point I have to run sudo netplan try manually to get the wifi to connect. Any ideas?

What if you add



  optional: yes


to your wifis/wlp58s0 configuration? I had a similar problem, but only when I booted without wired ethernet. The content of my /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml (my only file in that dir) was



# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# For more information, see netplan(5).
network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
ethernets:
enp0s25:
dhcp4: yes


When I appended



      optional: yes


the problem went away. The man 5 netplan page states that an optional device is not required for booting, and that the default is false.

    Adding optional worked. (My issue was a delay in the wireless connecting, which caused an issue with a browser I had set to automatically open and access a website.)
