systemd-networkd-wait-online takes 2 minutes to fail on a new installation on Debian 12.12

Hello everyone, I installed Debian 12.12 following https://wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv7:i386_32-bit_install in a Proxmox x64 VM and next I used wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/installScript/raw/master/install | sudo bash

Despite installation appeared OK, it took 2 minutes to make web GUI available to clients: systemd-networkd-wait-online was failed.

So I snapshotted the VM and ran omv-firstaid reconfiguring network: on next boot it went online in a few seconds.

Before running omv-firstaid, network was configured with /etc/network/interfaces; after omv-firstaid run, netplan yaml files appeared and fixed everything.

Do you have the output from the install script? It creates a log file in the directory you executed the script from as well.

Was the VM using dhcp? I can see the script not getting something perfect when converting from the old interfaces to netplan. There is an option to skip network setup (-n flag) as well.

VM was using DHCP as in standard Debian install process. Here it is the log. Strangely, previously (at most a month ago) in a similar situation I had no problems if I'm not wrong. Thanks

I don't see anything wrong in the log. I forgot that on x86 systems, the script doesn't configure networking in the omv database. So, when the system reboots, it is using whatever network setup you setup. I would run omv-firstaid after the install script if you are seeing this consistently.

I also haven't really changed how the script does things on omv7 in a long time.

So I did, omv-firstaid fixed the network. Network was configured by debian installer (as always, in a minimal setup, it uses /etc/network/interfaces).

Can I ask you in the script which parts are supposed to configure network using netplan? Thanks

On an x86 system? None. OMV itself will IF there is an adapter setup in the database. But the install script isn't adding anything to the database for x86. I guess I could add a flag to do that but people haven't wanted/needed it that I can remember.
