Description Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 2014-03-07 03:38:57 UTC
Sometimes randomly (~50% of times) networkd fails with this error message.
Under this state, only the address is configured, the gateway is missing. Restarting the service sets correctly the network.

Comment 1 Tom Gundersen 2014-03-07 13:44:23 UTC
Could you try again with full debugging output. Drop debug.conf into /etc/systemd/system/systemd-networkd.service.d/ with the lines:

    [Service]
    Environment=SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug

What I'm wondering about is the time stamps of the lines "enp0s16: bringing link up" and "enp0s16: could not bring up interface: Connection timed out" in the failing case, and in the successful case, the line "enp0s16: link is up".
Comment 2 Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 2014-03-07 16:50:29 UTC
When enabling debug level, network is always configured right all times. I tried rebooting some times but always works 100%.

Comment 3 Tom Gundersen 2014-03-07 16:53:33 UTC
Hm, that's a shame. Could you at least include the full output of

    # journalctl -b -u systemd-networkd

in a failing case (even if debug is not enabled)?
Comment 4 Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 2014-03-07 22:49:57 UTC
Yes, looks like "debug" add needed "delays", otherwise set to default "info", always fails. (Now I can not get at least one good network setup on boot)

# journalctl -b -u systemd-networkd
-- Logs begin at Sat 2013-12-14 14:49:00 ART, end at Fri 2014-03-07 19:45:09 ART. --

Mar 07 19:43:38 exequiel systemd-networkd[328]: enp0s16: failed
# 

Nothing new, just look like initial comment.
Comment 5 Tom Gundersen 2014-03-08 00:13:45 UTC
So as there is not more debug output available, I'm not sure if you are actually hitting the 10 second timeout, or if there is some other bug...

I just pushed two changes: 1) increased the default timeout to 25 secs (to match sd-bus); and 2) don't actually enter failed state just because the call to UP appears to have failed (there will still be a warning though).

Could you test with git if this fixes the problem for you, and if you still see a warning here?
Comment 6 Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 2014-03-08 02:11:47 UTC
Building with 59a7a684 and 76800848 works fine now.

In all boot cases I get:
# journalctl -b -u systemd-networkd
-- Logs begin at Sat 2013-12-14 14:49:00 ART, end at Fri 2014-03-07 23:10:14 ART. --
Mar 07 23:07:13 exequiel systemd-networkd[326]: enp0s16: carrier on
Mar 07 23:07:13 exequiel systemd-networkd[326]: enp0s16: link configured
#

No warning appears, so looks like increasing timeout (first patch) in my case is sufficient, right?

Thanks you :)
Comment 7 Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 2014-03-08 18:14:09 UTC
Now I also added a third patch 58b12917, recently commited by zbyszek and still works fine without any warning ;)
