Public bug reported: Binary package hint: netatalk
I've been running Netatalk on a system since it was running Dapper 6.06 or Edgy 6.10. Now I'm running Gutsy 7.10 and noticed Netatalk doesn't start at boot, though it starts readily when invoked manually using sudo /etc/init.d/netatalk start There are no messages logged anywhere regarding the failed start so it's hard to know where to look for the problem. I honestly don't remember if it started correctly under Ubuntu Feisty 7.06. There are no error messages when it's started manually -- just a "normal" entry in /var/log/messages saying papd CUPS support is enabled. I found a forum discussion about it -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=486949 Based on this discussion I looked at the system-V and upstart scripts, and the scripts seem to be where they should be. I also tried removing the bootsplash and netatalk still does not start on boot. I have not tried any changes to my /etc/hosts or network configuration. I see several bugs where people had trouble installing netatalk, such as Bug #109917, Bug #158076, Bug #157685 and Bug #159202 -- all of these seem to be difficulties with the network interface. That may be the problem here -- maybe the interface is not ready when Netatalk starts, HOWEVER why does it not log anything at all -- not even the attempt to start? Could there be something odd about the netatalk code that doesn't play well with upstart? P.S.: I AM using netatalk "insecurely" on my LAN since I have not recompiled the package to use ssh as reported in Bug #26452 -- my file sharing clients connect using cleartext passwords. ** Affects: netatalk (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- netatalk silently fails to start at boot, manual start OK https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176472 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
