Bug Description

After upgrading to utopic, my system waits 2 minutes for network at boot, the boots ok. This has happened in previous releases as well for other people and is an annoying issue which will alarm many people especially the non-techinical users. Also, many fixes described in older bug reports no longer apply as ubuntu does not need them yet the bug is still alive and kicking.

Hi Dylan,

Thanks for taking the time to report this issue. Please can you do the following:

2) Attach /etc/network/interfaces (and any files you've created in /etc/network/interfaces.d/).

3) Attach /etc/fstab

4) Add '--debug' to the boot command line in the grub menu, boot your system and then attach file /var/log/upstart/mountall.log.

> Where do I add --debug? The Linux command line?
Yes:

1) Hold down control key at power-on to enter grub menu.
2) Press 'e' to edit the top (default) kernel command-line.
3) Use the cursor keys to move down the the line that begins with
"linux".
4) Press the END key (or use cursors again).
5) Add "--debug" (make sure there is a space between "--debug" and the
option before it).
6) Press CTRL-x or F10 to boot.

I can confirm bug is related to upstart, if i switch temporary to systemd, network-manager is launched fine.

Strangely, after purging teh configs of my removed packages (that still had upstart jobs on my machine) I did nto have to wait 2 mins for network while my machine booted this morning. I am hoping that this fixed state keeps repeating.

I am not sure about all of them. They included Jenkins, tomcat and a bunch of obsolete packages removed by the upgrade

It's a usability issue that doesn't limit the functionality of a core package.
