[Bug 940485] Re: No way to skip "waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration"

[dino99]

Agree that such issue should not be a show stopper, the system should be able to terminate its boot up; its easier to fix that issue then.
If that issue appear, the user should be able to skip it by hitting "Esc" key for example.
A temporary workaround is to install & use wicd (works smoother )

Title:
  No way to skip "waiting up to 60 more seconds for network
  configuration"

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is in 12.04

  Since configuring my interface in /etc/network/interfaces I've had my
  PC hang for a minuite and a lot on each boot, first waiting for
  network configuration, and then waiting a futher 60 seconds for it.

  This bug report is _not_ about the presence of the message or its
  cause, but about the fact that there is no apparent way to skip it.
  I'd like to be able to just carry on the boot with no network
  configuration so I can fix it.
