Yeah, I will be happy if something like this makes in precise. On my systems winbind tries to connect before there is any connection up. This is specially true if connection is via wlan, even if network manager's sets connection as system-wide and available to all users.
On a 11.04 system, winbind puts a message in /var/log/syslog 4 seconds before wlan0 is connected. Solved by adding "sleep 10" at first lines of /etc/init.d/winbind And I think the long delay before you can log in is caused by gdm's starting too fast, as this blog explains: http://davidmburke.com/2010/09/16/linux-and-active-directory-round-2/ Both problems will be solved by making winbind an upstart job, and I think it's a shame that it still remains untouched. It's true that ligthdm.conf has solved this problem at least in 12.04, (I have not tested 11.10) but still we need some way to make sure there is a network connection up and running before winbind's start. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/612958 Title: Please convert winbind init script to upstart.
