Comment 0 for bug 1007293

I am managing about 20 Ubuntu Computers since release 5.04 and have the strong feeling, that problems are increasing rapidly from one distribution upgrade to anoter. Non of my LTS version upgrades works out of the box today. The main problems I have, is to upgrade or install the nis package. I cannot login anymore after the upgrade to 12.04 (neither from last LTS-Version, nor from Version 11.10). After a complete uninstallation of the nis and the network-manager package nis works more or less, but I have to restart it manually after every reboot.
I tried also a complete new installation, but nis also doesn't work there. After I installed NIS pagage on a fresh Ubuntu system, I cannot login anymore. Computers are booting, no graphical desktop manager comes up, only console with login promt. And after login, no shell comes up.

And this happens one month after a new LTS release. I am not amused and testing and thinking now about a change to Fedora Linux. I have the feeling that Ubuntu developers focuses only to single computer installations, disregards networking abilities and has a lot of problems with upstart, that I still not really understand.
