Got a short moment: I tried sudo /etc/network/networking stop which gave me Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.
After googling for that, I changed /etc/network/interfaces (partly) from auto eth0 to auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp With this configuration, I can (again) (re-)start the networking service. I guess, the system will shutdown with the router still on. I'll report the behavior ASAP. -- [2.6.27] pausing during boot (several issues) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254668 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
