Re: Hanging during boot-up following dbus upgrade
I am experiencing a similar problem. Mine isn't during boot, however,
because my iface is set to no auto. When I 'ifup eth0' or 'eth1' it
hangs after:
bound to 192.168.1.67 -- renewal in 300 seconds.
If I wait long enough, it closes itself. However, if I jsut close the
terminal, the ip address was apparenlty bound. I had assumed this was a
bug in the dhcp client.
Interesting...
