Failed to start Raise network interfaces

[Sergio Rodriguez]

I recently installed Debian and I'm getting the following message at startup:

[FAILED] Failed to start Raise network interfaces.
See 'systemctl status networking.service' for details.

I run that command and I got the following message:

● networking.service - Raise network interfaces
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/networking.service; enabled; vendor pres$
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2019-03-13 21:13:05 -05; 10min $

 Main PID: 386 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

My Wi-Fi connection is working, but I want to understand this error and how to fix it

I also get this message.

I have some input for this Thread

(Wizard appears in a puff of smoke)

... but I want to run a couple of experiments first, and then put together some information that is cohesive and factual. Might take me a couple of days.

Can I ask of both of you whether your wifi is actually working (ie the error is non-fatal) or not, on your Debians?

Cheers

Wifi works.

 

[Condobloke]

wifi works....happy for you Peer.
Why does it work now ?
(or did I misunderstand ??)

 

[Peer]

?

 

[Condobloke]

obviously I misunderstood !!....ignore my previous post

 

[wizardfromoz]

No, Brian - that's OK and understandable ... Peer is likely running with "noquiet nosplash" in his /etc/default/grub (as I do) or else, Debian is displaying some of its startup output as it heads to login screen.

The warning he is receiving is likely the same as one I was receiving on my old Toshiba Satellite, it was non-fatal and wifi still works on it. I will explain more when I have put it together.

Yes @wizardfromoz , as @Peer my WiFi is working.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Ta (pronounced "tar", Aussie and English for thanks), Sergio

I'll try to make some time this weekend to look into this further, I am interested, myself.

Cheers

I found a solution here, @wizardfromoz and @Peer

I don't understand the logical of it but worked.

Now, the result of "systemctl status networking.service" is this:

● networking.service - Raise network interfaces
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/networking.service; enabled; vendor prese
   Active: active (exited) since Sat 2019-04-06 21:35:18 -05; 17min ago

Hey, that's great, Sergio, well done and "Ta" for sharing

I have bookmarked that reference and will take a closer look at it. It may also help me with some problems I have with Debian.

Enjoy your Linux
