failed to start network service LFS systemd 9.1
 

I Was trying to configure the LFS systemd network configuration and i finished it but while booting the system shows error message:

failed to start network service

my .network file looks like this

[Match]
Name=eth0

[Network]
Address=192.168.43.12
Gateway=192.168.43.1
DNS=192.168.43.1

LinkLocalAddressing=no
IPv6AcceptRA=no

I see you're doing that in Qemu. What you are trying to do with the static configuration in the guest like that simply will not work with the "user" (NAT) networking that will be in use by default as you will have no communication with the network. You would need to create a bridged interface on the host, a TAP interface on the host, and use the TAP interface in the guest in order for that to work.

How you would do so depends on the distro you are using. Kali Linux on the host? I'm not familiar with it, but I believe it's debian based. You can use your network manager, or search for information on the network system you are using. For example ifup/down or systemd-networkd.

Thankyou I'll try

Even though I boot it in my original system it's the same issue

OK, so you just loaded up what you built so far in Qemu so you could take screenshots etc.

So then, what does

"systemctl status systemd-resolved.service" say? Any useful information as to why the service is failing?

For a static config like that, I'd still put my nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf

[grogan@getstuffed:~]$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
#nameserver 208.67.222.222
#nameserver 208.67.220.220
nameserver 192.168.0.1

I used to specify them directly, but I'm running dnsmasq on my router (that's why I have those OpenDNS nameservers commented out, they are configured in my router). I would not put a search domain in my resolv.conf as most instructions say to do. It tends to cause delays.

Another thing, if you're going to use your NIC as "eth0" you probably need to edit a udev rule or it's going to want to use that "enp?S?" naming. Something like:

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

here are the screenshots

when i run ip a i get

when i boot in my original system the enp0s3 is also missing

Well, your NIC is not eth0, it's enp0s3 so there's no way it's going to start with the network config you have. You can just make it easier on yourself and use Name=enp0s3

Now that error that systemd-networkd is throwing (200/CHDIR) generally means the service's working directory is unavailable at the time the service is trying to start. That could simply be due to a misconfiguration.

The first step would be to fix your network configuration and go from there.

Are your tempfs mounts like /run getting mounted?

Yes

I try to make the kernel with the host system config file,now I'm screwed so I'm rebuilding LFS systemd from beginning.

So from where should I have to take care of this problem(i mean which chapter)

Well, the chapters for systemd and networking would be:

6.73. Systemd-244
7.2. General Network Configuration

I have never built a LFS system with systemd and while I've had to use it in various distros, I'm not as familiar with it. I find it pretty cryptic when things are broken.

Thankyou I'll finish it and let you know

I thought of something else later... your NIC is enp0s3 in the Qemu guest, that may not be what it is in the host. It should be the same as in your Kali Linux host distro, for the real install of LFS.

You can also figure it out from lspci. It works like this:

enp0s3

en - type of device, ethernet
p - from bus type (PCI includes PCI-E)
0 - PCI bus number (00:00.0) <---- unlikely on the host
s3 - slot number

I tried rebuilding from scratch but same error. I loaded alx kernel module which is used by my host syatem. But after booting into LFS and type lspci it is showing e1000 but why is it not changing i also tried modprobe alx

at last i changed the kernel module but staill the problem exist
