Systemd-networkd-wait-online.service failed

[Austin]

systemd-networkd-wait-online.service is shown as a failed unit in my inxi
Can it be fixed?
Or do I just leave it like that?
I have seen this failed unit in several others inxis in this forum.

Thank you

Try to give a look at this one, extending the timeout...

Also, maybe rummage a bit into the issues...

Of course, I assume you need that service (systemd-networkd is being used???), otherwise just disable or mask it. Or try the --any configuration:

I tried the above links, still, the issue persists.

Ya systemd-networkd is active and running, I don’t know if I need it.

We normally use networkmanager as NM.
As far as I can remember, systemd-networkd was needed by Anbox (at least, that’s the only time I used it).
If you don’t use Anbox anymore, you could consider disabling that service.

[Austin]

Yup!
I had installed anbox last week to check whether it worked and then uninstalled it(cause it was not working).
I completely forgot I had enabled systemd-networkd service!
Ya now I don't require it.
Thanks @filo

Problem resolved!
