NetworkManager indeed doesn't deal with this kind of signal, nor does it need to, AFAIK.
Reassigning to ifupdown, that's my best guess for what goes wrong (need to emit static-network-up AFAICT, as required by the failsafe upstart job, which is what writes this plymouth message). ** Also affects: ifupdown (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: ifupdown (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: ifupdown (Ubuntu Precise) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu Precise) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Changed in: ifupdown (Ubuntu Precise) Assignee: (unassigned) => Canonical Foundations Team (canonical-foundations) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/924836 Title: network-manager does not tell plymouth it has started Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “ifupdown” source package in Precise: Confirmed Status in “network-manager” source package in Precise: Incomplete Bug description: On installing Kubuntu alpha 2 candidates I have an error on first boot of the installed system. Plymouth says "waiting for network setup" or similar. I think network-manager is not telling plymouth it has started. By the the time the full system does start network-manager works fine.
