A start job is running for dhcpcd on enp2s0f0

[Gamble]

Every time I start up my computer I get this message before it loads into my log in screen. Is it a problem or is it okay and I just have to live with it?

From terminal:
systemctl list-unit-files | grep enabled
if you see in that list this or similar:

dhcpcd@.service                             enabled  
NetworkManager.service                      enabled 
# or is like this
dhcpcd.service                             enabled  
NetworkManager.service                      enabled 

You have to stop one. Personally i would say to stop and disable the dhcpcd@ / dhcpcd
sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd --now
and let NetworkManager.service to take care of the connections.

If it's not already running then:

sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager-wait-online.service

Okay, I disabled it and it just removed it. Is okay that it's removed? Will I need it ever?

[bogdancovaciu]

Reboot and check the connection if is working. I use that only in special cases when i don't have network from TTY ...

[Gamble]

So after rebooting the message still came up. What should I do now?

On my end all i have related to network:

NetworkManager-dispatcher.service           enabled        
NetworkManager.service                      enabled

But the dispatcher becomes unloaded once the network is up.
I never used the wait-online service.
Did you created your connection trough the UI or from some commands and you have been guided to use the dhcpcd.service at that point ?

[Gamble]

I don't believe so, unless it was something I did when I was first setting up manjaro

[bogdancovaciu]

Looking trough this
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=213363
and this one
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=226160
seems to mention what i proposed, but i'll have to read other references they point too.

Just had to disable the old name and enable the new name.

might be a clue in reference to enp2s0f0 ...

I'm sorry, what is it that you proposed?

To disable the dhcpcd service

@bogdancovaciu

sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd

[Gamble]

Oh yeah, so I did do that and I did the reboot right after like you said and I still ran into the problem

[bogdancovaciu]

@Gamble

I still ran into the problem

Because somewhere you have the enp2s0f0 connection, while the status shows

Meaning you have a static profile or something, maybe a fallback profile and it removes those connections to use its profile. At least that is what i understand.

It might have been best if you mentioned your related posts:

A stop job is running for user manager for uid 1000

I keep running into "A stop job is running for user manager for uid 1000" whenever I try to shut down. I don't know what the problem is. At first I thought it was because I wasn't closing out of all programs before shutting down or rebooting, but now I make sure I do that all the time, and I still run into this problem. I also try the CTRL+ALT+DEL 7 times which usually forces the computer to shut off but sometimes that doesn't work either. Please help. Am I doing something wrong?

If you are not using your LAN connection then perhaps delete its profile from within Network Managers connections.

Disabling the NIC in your bios might be another idea if your bios has this feature.

It is also possible prevent your NIC from loading by blacklisting its module in /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf

[Gamble]

I deleted the LAN profile that I wasn't using. I rebooted and nothing worked. I then went into BIOS and tried too find NIC, but it doesn't look like I have that option either

[Gamble]

So how do I go about looking for other profiles and removing those?
