Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty 32bit desktop
During the boot process, the network is not yet configured when rc.local is
run; since this is where I have network drive mounts configured, these mounts
fail at boot. By capturing the output of the mount commands in those scripts,
I can see that mounts by hostname fail with the messages:
mount error: could not resolve address for srv99: Name or service not known
No ip address specified and hostname not found
while mounts by IP address fail with:
mount error(101): Network is unreachable
I believe this is a bug since networking should already be started by the time
rc.local runs in the boot process. Witness the boot scripts:
/etc/rc0.d/S35networking
/etc/rc6.d/S35networking
/etc/rcS.d/S40networking
/etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local
/etc/rc3.d/S99rc.local
/etc/rc4.d/S99rc.local
/etc/rc5.d/S99rc.local
My network card is statically configured from the NetworkManager applet;
it specifies a static IP, gateway, domain, and DNS servers, and does not
use DHCP. The connection is marked "Connect automatically" and
"Available to all users", and it does connect normally by the time I get
into my desktop (firefox works right away, for example). Running the
mount script by hand after logging in also works, because by then the
network is actually started.
