[Bug 886414] Re: No 2 Minute pause at login for Server Boot in Ubuntu Desktop

[Steve Langasek]

What "retries" are you talking about?  The system doesn't retry anything
related to networking, generally, except for dhcp.  Most of this time is
just spent waiting for the devices to be configured - in the case of a
broken configuration in /etc/network/interfaces, this is waiting for
devices that will never *be* configured, which is why there's a timeout.

Title:
  No 2 Minute pause at login for Server Boot in Ubuntu Desktop

Status in Upstart:
  Invalid
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  SpamapS and Scott Moser made the system to wait a few minutes at the
  login at the expense of Desktop users, for the benefit of Server
  users. I propose that we separate Ubuntu Server from Ubuntu Desktop
  completely. I have received a lot negative feedback about the change
  in 11.10. A related discussion about the problem here
