this is workaround for me that runs correctly: in rc.local:
(systemctl stop networking.service; systemctl start networking.service; systemctl restart networking.service; true) & if i put the commands one by one, rc.local unit will fail because systemctl start exits non-zero. notice the 'restart' action for the second command. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1551415 Title: systemctl stop networking hang / timeout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1551415/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
