autofs does not need and should not have a strong require for ypbind (or, even statd) However, when configured to autostart NFS mounts or to use NIS (!) then of course it depends on those services. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is

autofs should depend on statd in upstart Run: start statd to verify It looks like this is a bug in statd... which is just plain wrong :) With upstart do you have to teach other services about your service? eg autofs needs statd. statd says start on (started portmap or mounting TYPE=nfs)

I reported this on #ubuntu-arm (or similar) whilst compiling arm code for ubuntu/maemo/mer on the open build service; and someone specifically requested that I tag it 'arm' when I reported it. The problem only manifests itself using qemu arm emulation ... OTOH I guess this is fairly important to

[Bug 181726] Re: swap not mounted after repartitioning

2008-10-28 Thread David Greaves
I just upgraded to Intrepid. Hibernate failed in Hardy and I wanted to see if it was fixed. It wasn't. It turns out I'd added more RAM and nothing noticed that swap was smaller than RAM. I used gparted to resize the swap. That went smoothly. I did swapoff/resize/swapon from inside gparted.
