This problem happened aqui after an upgrade to 11.04 to 11.10 and I'm unable to solve it. GDM do not start anymore and my boot continues with the annoying message and the 60 seconds of wait... And my network do not works correctily.

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “netcfg” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I installed Ubuntu 11.10 beta1 64bit on a new laptop. I rebooted and it came up nicely. After that I did "apt-get update" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" to get the most recent fixes and installed some additional software. Now I do not seem to be able to boot. Fist I see: Waiting for network configuration... Then I see: Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration... And then it just hangs forever displaying the following: Booting system without full network configuration... Nothing happens after that, no matter how long I wait. However, I can switch to the console with CTRL-ALT-F1 and log in from there. The network is configured with DHCP and it works just fine from the console. I do not understand what the GUI boot display is waiting for. I installed the system using the alternate install CD to get LVM based partitions with full disk encryption. I noticed the bug #847782 and removed the "auto eth0" entry from my /etc/network/interfaces. Unfortunately that did not change anything, it still hangs forever.
