Facing the same issue but with dhcp and on ubuntu 16.04 VM. $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial
Just after initial launch of VM, it's not accessible. /run/network/ifstate files for interfaces are locked by ifup which only gets released and dhcp probe begins when networking service is restarted. After this VM becomes accessible. $ cat /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.

The general problem is the distinction between the network being configured and the network being up and what that means for services that depend on the network. upstream systemd has network.target (network is configured) and network-online.target (network is up), however xenial server (dunno about desktop) doesn't seem to use network-online.target. The result of which is, as soon as the network is configured both network.target and network-online.target are considered complete. At which point services dependent on either of those will get started. However this can lead to problems if the services in question are actually dependent on the network (ie dns lookups) when they are starting up. Here's an example of what I mean. If you install openntpd and add the -s option there is a race on boot if it will or wont be able to do the initial sync. Jun 02 16:58:02 xenial64 systemd[1]: Reached target Network.

I believe this issue is only going to effect physical servers with static ips. vm's interfaces will instantly have link when they are brought up and dhcp, the interface will already be up or else they wouldn't have been able to get an ip. thanks jim To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1588915/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
