Sorry, this is already the bug 950662. I also experience this issue and here is my findings: The delays are caused by failsafe boot delay (/etc/init/failsafe.conf) which is started on: start on filesystem and net-device-up IFACE=lo and stopped on: stop on static-network-up or starting rc-sysinit rc-sysinit is started itself on static-network-up (or failsafe-boot, i.e. after all these delays).
However, inspection of /etc/init/ reveals that there is no place, where static-network-up would be emitted $ grep static-network-up /etc/init/* /etc/init/failsafe.conf:stop on static-network-up or starting rc-sysinit /etc/init/failsafe.conf: # these messages. currently only static-network-up counts for that. /etc/init/networking.conf:emits static-network-up /etc/init/network-interface.conf:emits static-network-up /etc/init/procps.conf:start on virtual-filesystems or static-network-up /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf:start on (filesystem and static-network-up) or failsafe-boot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/950662 Title: Waiting for network message on bootup when all network devices are up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/950662/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
