Another data set: 1. AT&T is my ISP. My Desktop connects to a DSL modem via Ethernet. 2. There seems to be some keepalive traffic. A packet of 64 or 121 bytes gets sent or received about every 10 seconds. This activity appears to happen in 12.04 which functions correctly and in 13.04 which fails 100% of the time. 3. Shutting down in this state (Enable Networking checked but NO explicit Internet activity) will result in an error every time. 4. The connection will drop if I unplug the Ethernet cable. In that state I can reboot with NO errors.
Since I can manually force the connection to drop by either unplugging the Ethernet cable or unchecking Enable Networking, shouldn't the network manager also drop the Ethernet connection when a restart/reboot/shutdown is requested? I pose the question because the failure will never occur if the network connection has been dropped. Perhaps the keepalive traffic is not being forcibly killed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1073433 Title: Ext4 corruption associated with shutdown of Ubuntu 12.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/1073433/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
