Hi David, Interestingly, the latest break hasn't been created by udev, it's been caused by upstart. The culprit is I think the solution (and this is consistent with how pppoeconf sets up the ppp interface) is not to mark ppp interfaces as 'auto'. Instead, create an upstart script in /etc/init/ that calls /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot when eth0 comes up. For example:
# ppponboot - configure ppp network devices # # This task causes ppp connections to be started on boot. description "configure ppp devices" start on net-device-added INTERFACE=eth0 task #the following is needed incase /var/run/network hasn't been created yet #this can happen due to upstart's aggressive startup ordering pre-start exec mkdir -p /var/run/network post-start exec /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot -- udev stops pppd persist working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78043 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
