Hi there,
It looks like that there seems to be an issue with
sendmail
service preventing the networking service from starting.If you don’t need sendmail, you might consider uninstalling it to prevent it from causing more issues.
If you do need it, the error message indicates that it’s unable to open
/usr/share/sendmail/dynamic
, which could mean that the file doesn’t exist, or that there are incorrect permissions on the file or directory. If the file does not exist it might be best to purgesendmail
, restart the networking service then installsendmail
from scratch again.There has been a similar discussion here which also suggest purging and installing
sendmail
from scratch:https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/sendmail-not-letting-me-restart-networking-service-667894/
Best,
Bobby
