Unfortunately, it did not tell me at all what was wrong! After a bit I found out that it called /sbin/pump which failed with "error while loading shared libraries: libpopt.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". I see pump is being removed (#221227). I guess in netcfg-common.c, udhcpc should also be preferred to pump, i.e. those lines swaped: else if (stat("/sbin/pump", &stat_buf) == 0) dhcp_client = PUMP; and: else if (stat("/sbin/udhcpc", &stat_buf) == 0) dhcp_client = UDHCPC; Still, netcfg should show why the DHCP client failed. Also, since pump is broken, it should definitely not be installed for beta2! Also, the "eth1: Ethernet or Fast Ethernet" menu is nice, but damn if I know what eth0 and eth1 are... it would be cool to show the name of the device, perhaps that shown by lspci: eth0: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 eth1: 3Com Corporation 3c905 100BaseTX Since DHCP didn't work in the beginning (I later simply removed /sbin/pump so it would use /sbin/udhcpc instead), I configured a static address. I put in my info and was asked "Is this information correct?". I said "no", and did the whole thing again. It rememberd the IP address I typed in before, but it reset my gateway from 10.0.0.140 to 10.0.0.1. Also, a /etc/network/interfaces entry is generated which looks like this: iface eth1 inet static address ... netmask ... Please format/intend this more nicely: iface eth1 inet static address ... netmask ... After boot, eth0 and eth1 suddenly changed! I told debian-installer to use eth1 (the 3Com) for DHCP, but after reboot the 3Com was suddenly eth0! Also, when base-config asked me to type a root password, I accidentally had CAPS LOCK on. Perhaps you should recognize this and warn the user. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------- Received: (at 224663-close) by bugs.debian.org; 24 Dec 2003 04:36:11 +0000 >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Dec 23 22:36:11 2003 Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from auric.debian.org [206.246.226.45] by master.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1AYzJR-0001cM-00; Tue, 23 Dec 2003 21:03:53 -0600 Received: from katie by auric.debian.org with local (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1AYzHi-0001M1-00; Tue, 23 Dec 2003 22:02:06 -0500 From: Joey Hess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Katie: $Revision: 1.43 $ Subject: Bug#224663: fixed in netcfg 0.37 Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sender: Archive Administrator <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2003 22:02:06 -0500 Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Source: netcfg Source-Version: 0.37 We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of netcfg, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive: netcfg-dhcp_0.37_i386.udeb to pool/main/n/netcfg/netcfg-dhcp_0.37_i386.udeb netcfg-static_0.37_i386.udeb to pool/main/n/netcfg/netcfg-static_0.37_i386.udeb netcfg_0.37.dsc to pool/main/n/netcfg/netcfg_0.37.dsc netcfg_0.37.tar.gz to pool/main/n/netcfg/netcfg_0.37.tar.gz netcfg_0.37_i386.udeb to pool/main/n/netcfg/netcfg_0.37_i386.udeb A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is attached.
