Ok, reversing my position after talking with Clint on IRC. :) We can't delay the static-network-up event because doing so would slow down the entire desktop boot sequence for all users. This needs to be fixed instead by converting nfs-kernel-server to use an upstart job that's 'start on [...] net-device-up IFACE!=lo'.
Tim, a workaround for you would be to configure your network via /etc/network/interfaces instead of network-manager. That would eliminate the race in your particular case (i.e., running servers on a desktop). ** Package changed: ifupdown (Ubuntu) => nfs-utils (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: nfs-utils (Ubuntu) Assignee: Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/848823 Title: nfs-kernel-server requires a real interface to be up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/848823/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
