[SOLVED] start job running for LSB: Raise network interface

Message

hughparker1 · #1 Post by **hughparker1** » 2016-02-11 20:45

I have just installed debian-live-8.3.0-i386-lxde on my old hp530 32-bit laptop

Everything went well but every time I start my laptop I get following message which lasts for approx 1m 20s ...

Code: Select all

Loading, please wait...
fsck from util-linux 2.25.2
fsck error 2 (No such file or directory) while executing fsck.ext4 for /dev/sda1
fsck exited with status code 8
[  13.941532] systemd-fsck[145]: DEBIAN8: clean,140919/640848 files, 978992/2560942 blocks
[ ***]A start job is running for LSB: Raise network interfaces. (1min 20s / no limit)

with the 3 asterisks above moving back and forth.
... then it boots OK into operating system. so apart from the delay everything is working ok.

Has anyone seen this kind of message before, and is there a way to avoid this delay? I am still learning linux but if someone can point me in the right direction I would be grateful. I can use terminal if I know the syntax to use. Thanks for any assistance.

As root, open "etc/network/interfaces"...

If there is a line with "allow hotplug", then comment it out, save and reboot. If this doesn't apply to your issue, then report back...

Does your ISP offer IPv6?

Check here: http://test-ipv6.com/

If not, remove that line.

Thanks for responding.. I checked the url you suggested... and this is the output....

Code: Select all

Your IPv4 address on the public Internet appears to be 92.22.43.72

	Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) appears to be OPALTELECOM-AS TalkTalk Communications Limited,GB

	No IPv6 address detected [more info]

	Good news! Your current configuration will continue to work as web sites enable IPv6.

	You appear to be able to browse the IPv4 Internet only. You will not be able to reach IPv6-only sites.

	Your DNS server (possibly run by your ISP) appears to have no access to the IPv6 Internet, or is not configured to use it. This may in the future restrict your ability to reach IPv6-only sites. [more info]

From the output, it looks like my ISP does not offer IPv6? I don't have the technical knowledge to analyse the test output properly. My ISP is TalkTalk in UK.

So is it OK for me to go ahead and just comment out the line ...

Code: Select all

# iface wlan0 inet6 auto

I noticed there is another two lines beneath this line, is it ok to leave them ?

Code: Select all

Yes, that line is requestng an IPv6 connection that you do not have.

You need those lines to authenticate with your access point, leave them alone.

Thanks for your help. I edited the interface file and then reboot laptop but both the error message and delay message is still there, same as before...

Code: Select all

After reboot, I opened the file to check it and copied the contents below, it does show the commented line is there...

Any idea what might be wrong?

Another thing that puzzles me is sometimes when I start the laptop, I find I am not connected to the wireless router, even though I have saved the wireless key and made sure the option
Automatically connect to this network = enabled
It doesn't happen every time but it has happened four times today.

I find I need to open Wicd Network Manager and click 'Switch on Wi-Fi' then click 'Refresh' button along the top of the Manager window. Then I see the wireless networks and then need to click Connect button each time.

I am wondering maybe I should re-install. When I installed I chose the debian-live-8.3.0-i386-lxde-desktop+nonfree.iso image. I thought it would save me pulling out the network cable. Perhaps I should chose the normal live image and then install the wireless driver manually using network cable. Do you think this would help?

This is my wireless details...

I found instructions to install the wireless driver here...
https://wiki.debian.org/iwlegacy
Do you think re-install would be best?

I used to have that "LSB: Raise network interfaces" message when I used /etc/network/interfaces but only for a few seconds.

Let's try disabling 802.11n

Highlight the Debian entry in your GRUB menu and press "e" then add this to the end of the line that starts with "linux":

Code: Select all

iwl3945.11n_disable=1

Then press <Ctrl>+x (at the same time) to boot the modified entry.

If this fixes your problems, create a file at /etc/modprobe.d/iwl.conf (as root!) with the following content:

Code: Select all

options iwl3945 11n_disable=1

If it doesn't help, post the output of:

Code: Select all

# iwconfig wlan0

You may have to install wireless-tools to get this command.

EDIT: You can also try disabling the entire IPv6 stack by adding this to the linux line on the GRUB screen:

Code: Select all

ipv6.disable=1

If that works, add that parameter between the quotation marks on the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line in the file at /etc/default/grub and then save the file and run `update-grub`

hughparker1 · #11 Post by **hughparker1** » 2016-02-12 21:32

I entered the text as suggested but it didn't make any difference, I did this twice to be sure but same result. (I made sure the third character was l for lima and not number 1)

Here is output for 'sudo iwconfig wlan0' as requested....

Code: Select all

hugh@hp530-Debian-8:~$ sudo iwconfig wlan0
[sudo] password for hugh:

The third field is a number one, *not* a letter ell

hughparker1 · #13 Post by **hughparker1** » 2016-02-12 22:12

I entered the text again, this time with number 1 but still no change to the boot error message and the message 'start job is running for LSB etc'

btw, I'm not sure about the third character, when I copied the text into wordpad and increased the font size, it looked like it should be letter 'l' for lima and not number 1. also when I examine the output below i.e. ' iwl3945' it does look like 'l' for lima ...

EDIT: I noticed in the Wicd Network Manager, my SSID is shown twice instead of once, one for channel 36 and one for channel 5, is this normal?

ralph.ronnquist · #14 Post by **ralph.ronnquist** » 2016-02-12 22:20

You might also want to try commenting out the line

Code: Select all

auto wlan0

in /etc/network/interfaces.

That should stop it from attempting DHCP interactions during boot.

You are right to go on about it, I was confused.

The name of the module is indeed India whisky lima 3945

I thought you meant the "=1" bit at the end

I have no idea, I use systemd to connect.

We have other forum members who are more skilled with connection issues than me; if you wait a bit they may be able to help more.

I have now commented out both these lines in /etc/network/interfaces ....

Now when i boot laptop I am not getting the last line [ ***]A start job is running for LSB:, just these lines below still appear for 15 seconds...

the last line [ ***]A start job is running for LSB: Raise network interfaces. (1min 20s / no limit) is no longer there which is good because that delayed things for about 1m 20s.

So does the second line 'fsck error 2 (No such file or directory)...' indicate there is still a problem with my boot process?

also each time I start the laptop, I find I am not connected to the wireless router, even though I have saved the wireless key and made sure the option

fsck from util-linux 2.25.2
fsck error 2 (No such file or directory) while executing fsck.ext4 for /dev/sda1
fsck exited with status code 8

This is a issue unrelated to the other issue. Post the output of blkid, and post your fstab file , you find it in /etc...

You would get this error if you for example are trying to mount a etx3 partition as ext 4, but there could also be other reasons...

Just to note: I was a little tired last night so I missed the rather obvious point that if you are using WICD or NetworkManager then you can delete all the wlan0 lines in /etc/networ/interfaces and let your GUI handle the connection instead.

I have had that fsck error on a Debian system before and never got to the bottom of it

Please open a new thread for this problem.

... so I have this extra line which doesn't appear in your example above...

... so should I just comment this line same as I did with the other two lines before?

p.s the other thing that puzzles me is sometimes when I start the laptop, I find I am not connected to the wireless router, even though I have saved the wireless key and made sure the option
Automatically connect to this network = enabled
It doesn't happen every time but at least 50% of the time. Do you think this is the extra line 'iface wlan0 inet dhcp' in my my "/etc/network/interfaces"

p.s. I will create a new post for the "fsck error 2 (No such file or directory) "
