Init script not working because network interfaces are not ready

Binary package hint: mediatomb

I'm using Ubuntu Jaunty on AMD64, mediatomb 0.11.0-3ubuntu2

The problem is that mediatomb doesn't work for me by default. When I boot the computer I see this error in /var/log/mediatomb.log and mediatomb isn't running

It seems that mediatomb starts too early, before the network is up. What I did is:

$ sudo update-rc.d -f mediatomb remove
$ sudo update-rc.d mediatomb defaults 99

I tried your suggested changes but I still get an error message (ERROR: main: upnp error -117) linked to the fact the network is not up yet

following workaround worked for me, but now the mediatomb server runs under my user which does not bother me but may not be what other people want
