[Bug 972845] Re: after upgrade to precise, service did not start

[Eric Biggers]

I am experiencing this problem in Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop (package:
tftpd-5.2-1ubuntu1).  The tftpd daemon does not start when the computer
starts up, even though the tftpd-hpa job starts.   As far as I can tell,
the problem is that the tftpd service is starting before the network is
properly configured.  The problem seemed to go away when I changed the
line

start on runlevel [2345]

in /etc/init/tftpd-hpa.conf to

start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=lo)

However, I am not an expert with Upstart and this may not necessarily be
the best way to fix the problem.

Here is part of the system log.  Note: there are 2 ethernet interfaces
on the computer, and NetworkManager is being used:
