I noticed the following: this bug happens if I have lightdm and some other login manager installed (say gdm or slim). Then lightdm starts at boot even if it's not the default login manager. Then lightdm is shut down and the default login manager kicks in. After that, there seems to be a network configuration problem.
So the problem went away for me after I uninstalled lightdm. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/856810 Title: Boot hangs at "Booting system without full network configuration..." Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “netcfg” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I installed Ubuntu 11.10 beta1 64bit on a new laptop. I rebooted and it came up nicely. After that I did "apt-get update" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" to get the most recent fixes and installed some additional software. Now I do not seem to be able to boot. Fist I see: Waiting for network configuration... Then I see: Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration... And then it just hangs forever displaying the following: Booting system without full network configuration... Nothing happens after that, no matter how long I wait. However, I can switch to the console with CTRL-ALT-F1 and log in from there. The network is configured with DHCP and it works just fine from the console. I do not understand what the GUI boot display is waiting for. I installed the system using the alternate install CD to get LVM based partitions with full disk encryption. I noticed the bug #847782 and removed the "auto eth0" entry from my /etc/network/interfaces. Unfortunately that did not change anything, it still hangs forever.
