I had the same problem, CUPS didn't start with boot machine and apache as well. This was hellpful: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/497299 (comment no.12)
Error was in my /etc/network/interfaces I had this inside: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.5.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.5.0 broadcast 192.168.5.255 gateway 192.168.5.1 _________________________________ Instead, it shall be like this: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.5.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.5.0 broadcast 192.168.5.255 gateway 192.168.5.1 (well, I hope that after 3-4 restarts that this problem will not appear again.) BTW, Lucid looks really great, hope it will be stable in work .
