Same problem with Lucid, I actually solved it by adding "exec rpc.statd -L $STATDOPTS" before "status portmap | grep -q start/ || start portmap"
my statd.conf file actually is: [...] [ "x$NEED_STATD" != xno ] || { stop; exit 0; } start portmap || true exec rpc.statd -L $STATDOPTS status portmap | grep -q start/ || start portmap exec sm-notify end script [...] -- /etc/init/statd.conf: race with portmap startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/484209 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
