I can confirm that unless eth0, eth1, etc are commented out my laptop also takes ages to boot up.
What happens is that the init script tries to start all the network devices that are uncommented. They are mostly configured to use dhcp. If no dhcp server is available on the network then the bootup will pause until the dhcp timeout is reached. -- long network delay on bootup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94993 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
