** Description changed:
In certain situations, ubiquity writes an "auto ethN" line
/etc/network/interfaces. This means that the boot up process, including
bringing up the X system by upstart, will be delayed for whatever
- timeout is defined in /etc/init/failsafe.conf . This is currently 120
- seconds
+ timeout is defined in /etc/init/failsafe.conf (see bug 839595). This is
+ currently 120 seconds
This seems to affect mostly (if not only) people who use either the
netinstall, or the alternate CD, while using a whired connection. Note
that a line stating "auto eth0" will prevent the network from being
considered "up", unless the ethernet card is connected to the internet.
Adding this line by hand might be a good idea for certain servers, but
for most practical use it is not needed, since network manager will
always bring up an ethernet connection via DHCP.
Please see bug #839595 for more information
