I just had to edit /etc/init/failsafe.conf to remove all the sleeps. Otherwise, my system will sometimes take an extra few minutes to boot, for no good reason.
My setup is a bit unusual, but not too bizarre. I have a router with a single ethernet connection which is connected to my main computer. I have a second network card which connects it to a second computer (used by my partner). I have a script that enables NAT forwarding to the 2nd computer (which itself isn't very user-friendly to configure, but that's a different story) but it doesn't play well with network-manager so I've uninstalled that latter and configured the network manually in /etc/network/interfaces. Now I find that everthing works fine if I switch on both computers together, which is the usual case. However if I switch on mine only, it hangs in failsafe.conf. Editing failsafe.conf seemed like the best solution, but it's not very elegant. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995407 Title: Even if network is fully configured upstart waits for network configuration up to three minutes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/995407/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
