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

[tenuki]

Steve: I'm sorry i was thinking with the contextual information from the
link in the bug-report which refers  to the dhcp retries.

Indeed, in my case is due to dhcp, perhaps i'm missing something, but
that happened when not using network-manager and having configured dhcp
for some of the networks i use.

Before this release, I had no problems related to network configuration
with my notebook. But since update, it started to show that the network
isn't available and explicitly waiting some minutes.

I don't care if it is related to retries or a timeout. But if it's decided that in some environment it would be useful for reliability sake to have such timeout, it would be great to improve this feature with some option, like: 
- a place where to configure it, enabling the feature be useful in other scenarios, or
- allow the user to skip the timeout, like when fsck fails for some drive.

just my point of view.

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
