Comment 1 for bug 1053173

I can confirm this on 12.04. the problem is indeed related to the network. I have a wifi connection and if I run it without a network connection, it fails to start.Moving the init script to a higher id in the rc init process doesn't seem to work either.
The solution I found is to move the init to upstart as you can tell it to wait until network is up. So I wrote really simple upstart script and I would have put it somewhere if anybody is interesting. But this require a change in the package so the package maintainers should really put it there or write their own.
I would be glad to share this solution....
