Using: Debian 10 Buster

Problems

• network-online.target is stalling during boot:
  • See all services it depends on: systemctl show -p WantedBy network-online.target
  • Disable the unused services which stall.
• Firmware for the network card fails to load:
  • Causes a syslog record like "firmware: failed to load rtl_nic/rtl8168g-3.fw (-2)" when trying to up the interface.
  • Might happen after installation even if working initially (for some reason).
  • Realtek solution: Enable the "non-free" repo and install "firmware-realtek".
• Perl complains about a locale error:
  • Test with perl -e exit. It will complain if there's an error.
  • Check the locale: locale
  • Comment AcceptEnv LANG LC_* in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to prevent clients bringing their own locale.
