Comment 28 for bug 522509

Hi Diego

I added "service tftpd-hpa restart" as an "up" line to eth0 and it worked! Thank you very much.

But even better still you pointed me in the right direction to get to the bottom of the problem. My interface file looked like this:

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
#up service tftpd-hpa restart
#NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp

I moved the "iface eth0 inet dhcp" bit onto a new line and tftpd-hpa now works perfectly from boot. I don't know how the "interface" file got screwed up like that because I hadn't touched until you mentioned it.

To be fair I installed this system with a daily build of precise around the time of beta 2, so perhaps that's why.

Anyway all working now so thanks again for the help.

Allen
