ilf, this was an intentional change in behavior and documented in the release notes. I understand it has made your particular use case a bit more difficult to achieve. I do see a need for a second group in /etc/network/interfaces called something like auto-nowait that will be brought up at boot time but not waited on. I would encourage you to open a new bug report as a feature request for this. Its a corner case, but one that I think we can support for you as a user. Even better, you can probably submit a patch and we should be able to add it for 12.04. You can achieve it yourself by changing the line in /etc/network/interfaces from auto eth0 to allow-nowait eth0 and then edit /etc/init/network-interface.conf to run ifup --allow nowait $IFACE Just before the exec of ifup. This will ensure that your interface is brought up, but not waited on in the boot sequence. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/839595 Title: failsafe.conf's 30 second time out is too low To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/839595/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
