We have been preparing this machine for about a year. It is supposed to work as a a firewall and web proxy connected to about 10 vlans, with DNS server, LAMP, Squid, etc. It's a 64 bit Ubuntu Server perfectly up-to- date.
One week ago we decided it was finished and we moved it into production use. To this point everything was OK. During the last week we configured samba + swat - libpam-smb + cups + hplip and there was a kernel update: on Monday we noticed the hang at the "Deconfiguring network interfaces" but yesterday we saw that it was not a real hang because the system powered off in about tree-four minutes (it used to be about 20-30 seconds). I have just removed cups + hplip with no success. My next plan is to remove the samba set (I was suspicious of the problems between swat and libpam-smb) and maybe go back to previous kernel as this was the whole story of the last week. Here, above, I saw some relation between the length of the delay, the point where it happens and the number of interfaces, so I'm writing about it. I may try to add some verbosity, but I have very little clues... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1010045 Title: 12.04 hangs on shutdown deconfiguring network interfaces To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1010045/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
