Public bug reported: I installed isc-dhcp-server and started it manually.
After reboot the server didn't start. Checking the syslog Apr 2 07:57:18 paolo dhcpd: Apr 2 07:57:18 paolo dhcpd: No subnet declaration for eth0 (no IPv4 addresses). Apr 2 07:57:18 paolo dhcpd: ** Ignoring requests on eth0. If this is not what Apr 2 07:57:18 paolo dhcpd: you want, please write a subnet declaration Apr 2 07:57:18 paolo dhcpd: in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment Apr 2 07:57:18 paolo dhcpd: to which interface eth0 is attached. ** Apr 2 07:57:18 paolo dhcpd: Apr 2 07:57:18 paolo dhcpd: Apr 2 07:57:18 paolo dhcpd: Not configured to listen on any interfaces! Actually etho will be 192.168.0.3, but I suppose that network-manager hasn't activated it yet. I suppose that upstart isc-dhcp-server entry should check interface activation before starting the server.
