[Bug 1061639] Re: Upstartification of /etc/init.d/networking has lost deconfiguring-networking event causing bad side-effects

[Ernie 07]

In my daily work archives are created to preserve snapshots of work in
progress. In addition, they are extracted and the before/after folder
structures are compared via Beyond Compare. IF Nvidia drivers would stop
randomly hanging and thus forcing power resets, I might be able to
reduce archiving activities significantly.

1. Should I advise my less-technical associates to SHUN Nvidia hardware
because Nvidia continues to demonstrate that driver quality is not
important?

2. Should I advise my less-technical associates to SHUN Ubuntu One and
ALL versions of Ubuntu after 12.04 including any MOBILE offerings
because bugs like this one do not get fixed?

Title:
  Upstartification of /etc/init.d/networking has lost deconfiguring-
  networking event causing bad side-effects

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ifupdown” source package in Quantal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In precise, /etc/init.d/networking was a true SysV service script that
  did the following:

  initctl emit deconfiguring-networking

  In quantal, /etc/init.d/networking is now using the upstart-job
  symlink back to the upstart job /etc/init/networking.conf.

  The problem is that the 'deconfiguring-networking' is no longer being
  emitted. This causes dbus to fail to stop on system shutdown which
  causes a cascading effect whereby other Upstart jobs are also not shut
  down. Eventually, the system halt with the message:

  mount: / is busy

  This results in a unclean shutdown which can result in FSCK being run
  / slow / bad user boot experience.

  The two main options here are:

  1) Re-instate the 'deconfiguring-networking' event.
  2) Change the dbus 'stop on' condition and update upstart-events.7 to remove 'deconfiguring-networking'.
