Race condition during startup?

[Ricardo Pérez López]

Hi!

I've filed a bug (https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16749)
because the ntpdate daemon (wich synchronizes the clock during system
startup) sometimes can't find the host ntp.ubuntulinux.org, and
therefore fails.

Looking at the logs, we can see:

   Synchronizing clock to ntp.ubuntulinux.org         fail
   Error: Temporary failure in name resolution

It seems that the system takes too much time to set up the nameservers
in the networking startup.

Anyone has any idea?

Thanks,

Ricardo.
