 |
|
Hello ,
Now that have wifi set up thanks to the wonderful people here at the forums, I was wondering how to stop the boot cycle from pausing at the following snippet while , i imagine, it looks for an ethernet connection.
| Code: |
* Bringing up interface enp1s0
* Caching network module dependencies
need dbus
* dhcp ...
* Running dhcpcd ...
enp1s0: waiting for carrier <---- this part takes a long time
timed out
dhcpcd exited
[ !! ]
[ !! ]
* ERROR: net.enp1s0 failed to start
|
I don't want to disable ethernet at boot entirely since there will most likely be a time in the future where I'll have to use it. But, i would like to find a way to speed up the boot process and somehow tell the system that if it doesn't find the ethernet connected to move along a bit faster and not "wait for carrier".
Also, am I correct that the following error is ok to disregard or is there some fix for it?
| Code: |
* Starting wpa_cli on wlp2s0 ...
[ ok ]
* Backgrounding ... ...
* WARNING: net.wlp2s0 has started, but is inactive
|
Thanks |

unfmachine,
You can tell enp1s0 not to start automatically or you can set a dhcpcd timeout.
How you do either depends on how you start networking.
If wlp2s0 is working, you con disregard the | Code: | | * WARNING: net.wlp2s0 has started, but is inactive |
That's what happens to me.

unfmachine ... there are various methods to deal with such situations, the primary one being the use of a package such as sys-apps/ifplugd or sys-apps/netplug (these can be configured, via /etc/conf.d/net, to inform netifrc how it should manage 'plug' devices). See the section "Cable in/out detection" in /usr/share/doc/netifrc-*/net.example.bz2 for more details about 'plug'.

It is just a 'warning' (which should perhaps be more accurately provided as 'info'), and is perfectly normal.
