[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#832093: NetworkManager-wait-online.service fails to start and delays boot

[Guido Günther]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.2.2-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

NetworkManager-wait-online.service fails to start during boot like

$ journalctl -b --unit=NetworkManager-wait-online.service
-- Logs begin at Do 2015-08-06 09:54:25 SAST, end at Fr 2016-07-22 10:34:27 SAST. --
Jul 22 09:57:14 bogon systemd[1]: Starting Network Manager Wait Online...
Jul 22 09:57:46 bogon systemd[1]: NetworkManager-wait-online.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Jul 22 09:57:46 bogon systemd[1]: Failed to start Network Manager Wait Online.
Jul 22 09:57:46 bogon systemd[1]: NetworkManager-wait-online.service: Unit entered failed state.
Jul 22 09:57:46 bogon systemd[1]: NetworkManager-wait-online.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

If it strat it later on it works as expected (although an ethernet cable
is plugged in all the time).

Since it waits for a timeout it also delays the boot by several
seconds. Disabling the service brings back the old boot speed. Should
this service be disabled by default?

Cheers,
 -- Guido
