I just upgraded my Ubuntu 22.04 LTS machine and now it gets stuck during boot with the message:

[FAILED] Failed to start Wait for Network to be Configured

on an otherwise black screen. I can still access the machine via ssh

systemd-analyze blame gives

I found this thread A start job is running for wait for network to be configured. Ubuntu server 17.10 and added optional: true to /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml but to no avail, after applying this and rebooting the machine still gets stuck at [FAILED] Failed to start Wait for Network to be Configured.

Any pointers to avoid a complete OS reinstall would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance/Evert

cat /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml

network: version: 2 renderer: networkd ethernets: enp0s3: dhcp4: yes optional: true

ls /etc/netplan/ 01-netcfg.yaml

I managed to fix the problem, for some reason the Nvidia drivers had become uninstalled. I installed them command line and can now access the GUI again. Everything seems to work as normal.

Thanks for your consideration/Evert

    If this is an ordinary desktop installation, not a server, you don't need 01-netcfg.yaml, you need 01-network-manager-all.yaml. Is there a conflict here? Please edit your question to show: cat /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml and also: ls /etc/netplan Please redact any sensitive details with xxxx. Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. – chili555 Jan 30 '23 at 16:26
