Please excuse the incomplete information; But I highly suspect it is releated, and maybe some bells ring with the experts.
The week a system that I manage (xubuntu 12.04.1) failed to connect to the net on reboot. The br0 bridge interface does not get fully configured. There is nothing in syslog that points at a specific failure. The startup GUI shows "waiting for network" and "waiting 60 more seconds for network" before the greeter comes up. The bridge interface is used to bridge eth1 and OpenVPN tap0. It is solely configured from /etc/network/interfaces. I found that after tearing down the bridge completely, "ifup br0" successfully completes. But it fails at boot time. bridge-utils may be the only package update between the last reboot, when thins still were fine (some 80 days ago). Next week I may collect more information (ifquery br0 # of the disfunctional bridge, brctl show, etc). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vlan in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1003656 Title: bridge-utils/vlan udev hooks prevent execution of upstart hook, slowing down boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bridge-utils/+bug/1003656/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
