[Bug 1176710] [NEW] avahi-daemon script holds up run-parts in the if-up.d directory

[David Lukacs]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

I hope this is the right forum, or product, to report this issue I found
on a fresh Kubuntu 13.04 install.

I'm using the networkmanager to handle networking, and everything is
running with default settings. I noticed that executing the
/usr/lib/avahi/avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh script takes quite a bit of
time to complete. I have persistent wired network, so the avahi-daemon
script in /etc/network/if-up.d directory tries to execute this when I
start up my computer.

Apart from a prolonged startup time, my real problem was that none of
the scripts, which are alphabetically after avahi-daemon were executed,
because networkmanager has a timeout of some sort on starting up the
network - which eventually always kicked in.

My solution was to simply run the mentioned script in the background, so I modified the avahi-daemon script as follows:
exec /usr/lib/avahi/avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh &

This fixed the problem, but at this stage I'm not sure if I introduced
any other:)

Thank you,
David
