BUG CONFIRMED A WORKAROUND FOUND heindsight's method worked for me, with one additional change that he also suggested at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=647559&page=5 ...
specifically, changing S24dhcdbd to S13dhcdbd in /etc/rc[2,3,4,5].d (I used "sysv-rc-conf -p ' by the way) so NetworkManager gets eth0 up faster . On my computer, that eliminated eth0 trying and failing to start about seven times before succeeding. With that change to dhcdbd startup priority and the previously suggested change, I end up with: - eth0 starts one time - there is an extraneous ntpd start that fails to get associations - heindsight's script stops ntp, runs ntpdate, then restarts ntp, successfully Other than the extraneous ntpd "too early" start, this is exactly the sequence desired, so I consider my system fixed. This, or an equivalent change accomplishing the same thing, needs to be implemented by the devs ASAP. -- ntp brought up before network is ready; fails not resolve any ip or host names; ntp does not recover https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/114505 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
