Disabling 'A start job is running for wait for network to be configured.'
2025-03-22
Raspberry Pi 4 running Ubuntu Server 22.04.5 LTS displays a 'A start job is running for wait for network to be configured.' message when booting up. This can take up to 3 minutes slowing down other tasks.
To stop this behaviour, use
to disable the wait-online service to prevent the system from waiting on a network connection, and use
to prevent the service from starting if requested by another service (the service is symlinked to /dev/null).
Now your bootup should be almost instant.
