Its ok if 'eth0' *appears* in /etc/network/interfaces. What causes the wait is if there is an 'auto eth0'. NetworkManager should *not* be adding auto interfaces to that file. There's really no reason, whatsoever, for it to do that. I'm wondering if people are just seeing this because they've added interfaces for things like libvirt and such. Still not convinced this needs changing beyond strong wording in the release notes. Possibly also we could display a plymouth message after 30 seconds of waiting, something like 'Waiting for network interfaces...' so people know what is causing the slowdown. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/839595 Title: failsafe.conf's 30 second time out is too low To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/839595/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
