    How to fix this issue

  • Thx alot 🙂, this fixed my slow ubuntu clone vm boot.

  • Unfortunately this doesn't fix the real issue. It just tells Ubuntu it doesn't have to have that network. If that is the only network connection you have and it is not working for some ??? reason, this just leaves you with no network at all, still.

  • bro thx a lot, my ubuntu server now starts 5x faster xd

  • Worked beautifully for me. The problem was that the system was waiting for an unused ethernet connection to come up. This fix tells the system that it's optional.

    Thanks!

  • Good information but this wasn't the problem in my case. I have two physical NICs on the MB. Only one has a cable connected but both have: dhcp4: true set. The solution in this case is, though I haven't tried it yet, to set the NIC without a cable connected to 'false'. Or I'm assuming that's the case.
    I'd also mention that I would think that setting the adapter to 'optional' is going to cause some serious issues if you have NAS drives mounted with nfs. Particularly if you have your /home/<user_name> directories on a NAS. Those can't be mounted until the network is 'up'. If it's taking a long time for your network to come up you have problems other than this one.
    Great info on where to find the relevant file, though. Honestly, that's usually most of the problem when you're trying to correct something, "What file do I need to edit to fix this?"
    Thanks for the useful info!
