Public bug reported: Steps to reprdocue the problem:
1) alias ntp.ubuntu.com to somewhere not working or try to connect to a very flaky wireless network 2) bring up your network card in NetworkManager 3) watch it not connect expected result: 3) woohoo, internet! I worked around this with this patch: --- /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate~ 2008-03-07 22:24:21.000000000 +0200 +++ /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate 2008-07-11 11:13:08.000000000 +0300 @@ -25,7 +25,7 @@ invoke-rc.d --quiet ntp stop || true -/usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian -s $OPTS 2>/dev/null +#/usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian -s $OPTS 2>/dev/null invoke-rc.d --quiet ntp start || true but I don't think that's the right solution to the problem. :) ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- network doesn't come up if ntpdate fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247530 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
