Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: samba
On Ubuntu/gutsy amd64, the order of startup scripts in /etc/rc3.d seems
to be wrong.
In particular, samba (S20samba) starts before avahi (S24avahi-daemon),
which I assume it now responsible for network i/f configuration (nothing
before S20 seems to relate to networking). Thus the network interface is
not configured before samba starts; when it does, it logs the warning
"WARNING: no network interfaces found". It does not fix itself when the
network interface comes up later. The result is that samba does not work
after a reboot until you restart the service manually.
It seems that a whole mess of network services are numbered before
"S24avahi-daemon": ntp is "S23ntp", several are "S20...", sshd is
"S16ssh". Unless I'm missing something (not impossible), the ordering is
simply wrong.
I also had to manually fix the loopback device (no "lo" in
/etc/network/interfaces) before, so it's not impossible that some
installation methods can leave you with incompletely configured network
setup.
