[Touch-packages] [Bug 1385709] Re: network-manager service doesn't start at boot time
I may have another look at the problem. I was experiencing the same "waiting for network configuration" issue after installing sendmail. I looked at my /var/log/upstart/network-interface-lo.log and network-manager.log log files and I found this. /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail: 44: .: Can't open /usr/share/sendmail/dynamic run-parts: /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail exited with return code 2 Indeed, the line 44 of the script /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail calls another script /usr/share/sendmail/dynamic that does not exists. My (bad) patch was to comment line 44 of /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail which solved the "waiting for network configuration" issue at startup.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1385709] Re: network-manager service doesn't start at boot time
Oh.. I should add: It wasn't just that the network manager wasn't there on boot, as in the bug title. If the network-manager service was started, the network manager would appear, but pretty much every entry in the drop-down would be greyed out, so no connections could be established, such as wireless/VPN etc. The only way I could get an internet connection was to first start the network-manager service and then plug in a cable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1385709 Title: network-manager service doesn't start at boot time Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in sendmail package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I just completed the upgrade from Kubuntu 14.04 to 14.10.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1385709] Re: network-manager service doesn't start at boot time
Yep. Likewise. Uninstalled sendmail on Ubuntu 14.04. Upgraded to 14.10. Subsequently had "waiting for network configuration" during boot, and no network conection and no network manager after boot. Reinstalled sendmail, restarted, and then purged the newly installed sendmail. Now everything seems to be working as normal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1385709 Title: network-manager service doesn't start at boot time Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in sendmail package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I just completed the upgrade from Kubuntu 14.04 to 14.10.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1385709] Re: network-manager service doesn't start at boot time
I am/was also affected by this bug and can confirm that it is caused by leftover files from a former sendmail installation. Because of this, I'll add the sendmail package to the bug. Reinstalling sendmail removed the bug. Doing an "apt-get purge" on all sendmail-related packages also removed the bug (and the offending files). @ amichair Thank you for figuring this out!

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1385709] Re: network-manager service doesn't start at boot time
Updated lubuntu from 14.04 to 14.10 today. Had the same issue. #1 worked for me. Had installed sendmail in the past. I tracked down that the /etc/network/if-*.d/sendmail scripts were the culprit. Just moved them to sendmail.bak (in if-up, if-down and if-post-down) and now everything works fine.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1385709] Re: network-manager service doesn't start at boot time
My difficulties also began upon upgrade. However, I get no warning. I'm running the Plasma 5 desktop, so I have the new nm widget. In spite of configuring my home wireless setup, including proper password, etc. and selecting "connect automatically on start" - it never does. I have to click the widget and click the connect *every*time*. Really annoying. If there is a network problem it doesn't autoconnect once the router has been reset either, which in 14.04 it did without a hiccup. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1385709 Title: network-manager service doesn't start at boot time Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I just completed the upgrade from Kubuntu 14.04 to 14.10.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1385709] Re: network-manager service doesn't start at boot time
After wasting a whole day on this, I think I found the culprit. I had to delete a whole bunch of files named 'sendmail' which were scattered around /etc (/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/sendmail /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/sendmail /etc/network/if-post-down.d/sendmail /etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail /etc/network/if-down.d/sendmail /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit- hooks.d/sendmail /etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d/sendmail, and there are a few more that should probably also be deleted). Note that I do not have the sendmail package installed at all! I do not know, however, why the upgrade to 14.10 triggered this failure. Maybe it removed something related to sendmail, or started doing something with these files that were previously ignored... dunno. In any case, it's a pretty serious upgrade bug, since it prevents the network from connecting, and is quite non-trivial to trace back to its origin (there were lots of other errors/warnings in syslog that seemed related but weren't, and nothing there about these sendmail files or a hint as to the cause of failure). The indirect reason this happens on wired connections is probably that there is a correlation between hosts which at some point had sendmail installed and those that are on a wired connection :-) Please fix this issue quickly before others upgrade and lose their connectivity...
