Perhaps this is a 'default' configuration issue? My NetworkManager.conf had managed=false and interfaces had no eth0 entry. I don't know for sure whether this 'false' setting is an installation artifact or if I changed it at some point.
The following changes appear to resolve my issue - automount starts successfully! And syslog no longer shows any automount failures. dhclient now appears in log and cd /home/... works (see attached). I hope this works for other folks. // /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile dns=dnsmasq [ifupdown] managed=true // /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp ** Attachment added: "syslog_fix.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs5/+bug/994212/+attachment/3156353/+files/syslog_fix.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994212 Title: ubuntu 12.04 automounts (autofs) not working with ldap maps on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs5/+bug/994212/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
