I need to have this as I boot computers over the LAN to admin them and if one boots with this bug then I would actually have to go to the machine or ask someone at the location to reboot until the message goes away.
A temporary measure I am using to get around this problem is this create a file in /etc/init.d that forces the network to restart on each boot so no matter what after it reaches the login screen ever after the 60 second time out I will have a working network connection with out having to manually log in and restart the network to bring up ethX. > sudo -i > cd /etc/init.d > nano forcenetworkrestartonboot ---- in this file place the script #!/bin/bash /etc/init.d/networking restart exit --------- > chmod a+x forcenetworkrestartonboot > update-rc.d -f forcenetworkrestartonboot defaults So if I get that bug after the 60 seconds the network will restart by the time it hits the login screen I believe. to remove this from runing on start up ... > update-rc.d -f forcenetworkrestartonboot remove and then delete /etc/init.d/forcenetworkrestartonboot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994862 Title: Random "Waiting for network configuration" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/994862/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
