Will, that probably explains why your fix works. As I don't know the logic in starting the interfaces, it may be possible that lo is sometimes not the first to start and that caused your issue. Hopefully, my description may allow others to determine where their problem is at.
Also, I do have a note that localhost is a magic word, slightly different from 127.0.0.1 in this context, and that there may be a performance difference that you may want to check into. -- Upstart does not successfully start mysql on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/610085 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
