What does that message means?
Is it related to the Ethernet port?

Please, let me know what the message means and how to fix it.

Hi @taek8461, from the current log we can’t really determine anything. Please run the command systemd recommended directly below the error for more information.

sudo systemctl status networking.service

Hi @taek8461, it means networking failed on initial startup, then eventually ifup/dhclient was able to get a connection setup.

I’m guessing you configured eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces ?

Personally I leave /etc/network/interfaces empty and just let connman configure eth0 on startup.

Hi
Thank you for your help.
I resolved it.
I deleted the content related to eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces
and then when I rebooted the BBB, the message didnot appear

But when I did that, I had another question.

Below is the message before changing /etc/network/interfaces

Below is the message after changed /etc/network/interfaces

Why are the message gone? ( [OK]… )

Regards.

Those message are now gone, as you removed eth0 from /etc/network/interfaces without replacing it with ‘something’… Re-add it, then install connman, then re-remove it…

sudo apt update
sudo apt install connman
