After updating from the natty narwhal (11.04) to oneiric ocelot (11.10) a serious bug has been encountered. the Ubuntu stops booting in the middle and displays an error message as follows..
waiting for network configuration
*then after sometime...*
waiting an additional 60 seconds for network configuration
*then after sometime...*
Booting system without full network configuration
I hardly know how to handle bugs.. but one suggestion found in the forums was to hit in some commands in the terminal and restart should do the job, that how I could slove it, but keying the entire thing was a pain... so why not write a shell script and run it.
sudo mkdir /run
sudo mkdir /run/lock
sudo mv /var/run/* /run
sudo mv /var/lock/* /run/lock
sudo rm -rf /var/run
sudo rm -rf /var/lock
sudo rm -rf /run/dbus/*
ln -s /run /var/run
ln -s /run/lock /var/lock
sudo reboot
make a file <aNameOfYours>.sh and save it anywhere u can access it easily.. now just go to that directory where the file is located and type...
./<aNameOfYours>.sh
Ubuntu reboots and ready....
