Hi, I just upgraded to gutsy and this annoying bug has also bitten me. Fortunately I found a simple workaround somewhere else (can't remember where =( ) that worked for me, and only messes with the real culprit AFAICS: if you disable NetworkManager's "roaming mode" and force "Automatic configuration (DHCP)" autofs starts up just fine when the system boots.
HTH Andre PS: to edit NetorkManager's properties, just go to System > Administration > Network, choose "Wired connection" on the "Connections" tab and then click on "Properties". PPS: of course these instructions assume you use a wired connection. -- NIS has problems starting before the network comes up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50430 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
