Good day

You may be able to get a few information out of the following,
maybe see what's on hold:

	$ sudo systemctl list-units

But it is the first time I hear about this specific "start job"
"running for Hold" behaviour.  I'm not sure about what to look
at.  A blind shot at the following might bring some additional
information too:

	$ sudo journalctl -xe

In case you were encountering some hardware issue (but I doubt
so for the moment), perhaps a look at the following could be
welcome:

	$ sudo dmesg

And of course, from Kenneth:
