I am experiencing this problem in Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop (package: tftpd-5.2-1ubuntu1). The tftpd daemon does not start when the computer starts up, even though the tftpd-hpa job starts. As far as I can tell, the problem is that the tftpd service is starting before the network is properly configured. The problem seemed to go away when I changed the line
start on runlevel [2345] in /etc/init/tftpd-hpa.conf to start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=lo) However, I am not an expert with Upstart and this may not necessarily be the best way to fix the problem. Here is part of the system log. Note: there are 2 ethernet interfaces on the computer, and NetworkManager is being used: Sep 18 11:06:31 server NetworkManager[952]: <info> (eth1): now managed Sep 18 11:06:31 server NetworkManager[952]: <info> (eth1): device state change: unmanaged -> unavailable ( reason 'managed') [10 20 2] Sep 18 11:06:31 server NetworkManager[952]: <info> (eth1): bringing up device.
