[Bug 114505] Re: ntp brought up before network is ready; fails not resolve any ip or host names; ntp does not recover

[cwsupport]

Hi,

All fresh installs. ntp installed POST installation via apt-get.
Ubuntu Server 8.04.1 & Kubuntu Desktop 8.04.1 KDE4 Remix.
Mixture of DHCP and static IP.
 - As an example the desktop I am email from had 4 network interfaces. 2
static IP and 2 DHCP all specified under /etc/network/interfaces. 2
static both cabled, gateway specified on one of them. 2 marked as DHCP
not connected. Only eth0 and eth1 marked as auto. This typical of 5
server installs and 3 desktop installs which are all have this issue.

The machine it *does* work is a laptop with eth0 (DHCP not connected)
and ath0 (WPA wireless managed by knetworkmanager). This seems to always
come up OK. But that is probably because the wireless network comes up
under ifup post-login and the ifup scripts are probably doing their job.
I cannot remember if it works properly under a cabled eth0 with DHCP as
I always use the wireless on the laptop.

Hope this helps,
Barry
