[Bug 950662] Re: Waiting for network message on bootup when all network devices are up

[Daniil Ivanov]

Sorry, this is already the bug 950662.

I also experience this issue and here is my findings:
The delays are caused by failsafe boot delay (/etc/init/failsafe.conf)
which is started on:
start on filesystem and net-device-up IFACE=lo
and stopped on:
stop on static-network-up or starting rc-sysinit
rc-sysinit is started itself on static-network-up (or failsafe-boot, i.e. after all these delays).

However, inspection of /etc/init/ reveals that there is no place, where static-network-up would be emitted
$ grep  static-network-up /etc/init/*
/etc/init/failsafe.conf:stop on static-network-up or starting rc-sysinit
/etc/init/failsafe.conf:    # these messages. currently only static-network-up counts for that.
/etc/init/networking.conf:emits static-network-up
/etc/init/network-interface.conf:emits static-network-up
/etc/init/procps.conf:start on virtual-filesystems or static-network-up
/etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf:start on (filesystem and static-network-up) or failsafe-boot

Title:
  Waiting for network message on bootup when all network devices are up

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Machine is an Asus EeePC 900, running a fresh (post-beta1) install of
  Precise.

  I get a "waiting for network" message on bootup, even though eth0 is
  connected and wlan0 is active and within range of the access point.
  Commenting out lines in /etc/network/interfaces doesn't make any
  difference.

  The message doesn't appear every time but bootup is still annoyingly
  slow.
