Public bug reported: After rebooting and logging in, I am prompted with "no home for user. logging in with /". looking for a running autofs I find it not started. Executing "sudo service autofs start" starts autofs. After "cd ~" my home is mounted and available. This error is erratic, but only on 12.04 systems. 10.04.4 LTS, 11.04, or 11.10 are not affected. AFAICD autofs is sometimes started by upstart without the necessary services running (mainly DNS, just because Networking is not completely up) making autofs bail out. Starting it later it finds all necessities and starts.
