Stuck on wait-online

systemd[1]: Starting apt-daily.service - Daily apt download activities...
systemd-networkd-wait-online[1336808]: Timeout occurred while waiting for network connectivity.
apt-helper[1336806]: E: Sub-process /lib/systemd/systemd-networkd-wait-online returned an error code (1)
systemd[1]: apt-daily.service: Deactivated successfully.
systemd[1]: Finished apt-daily.service - Daily apt download activities.

Hack solution #1:

• Edit /etc/systemd/system/network-online.target.wants/systemd-networkd-wait-online.service
• add "--timeout=5" to ExecStart:
  • ExecStart=/lib/systemd/systemd-networkd-wait-online --timeout=5
• OR
  • ExecStart=/lib/systemd/systemd-networkd-wait-online -i eno1
• Reboot, and it should skip network check

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart systemd-networkd-wait-online
systemctl status systemd-networkd-wait-online

Hack solution #2:

sudo systemctl disable systemd-networkd-wait-online.service
sudo systemctl mask systemd-networkd-wait-online.service

Solution #3:

• add "optional: true" to interfaces that are not connected in your netplan
