[Bug 872824] Re: Network-manager locks up when adding strongSwan VPN connection

I figured that from the name, but I wondered what packages it pulled in, and what the consequences were for removing it were. Uninstalling it would mean that in the future if another package was added to to the meta package, you wouldn't get that additional package on upgrade. Which sounds fairly low risk, but something one would ideally want to avoid. You could also remove the dhcp3-client package with --force-depends, which just runs the risk that it gets reinstalled later during an upgrade. There's probably a complex pinning solution too, but I can't fathom it. I couldn't figure out a way around it. Any combination I came up with (like putting dhcp3-client on hold, then removing it), just left the package system in a broken state. More importantly, on Hardy there are additional dependencies on dhcp3-client. dhcdbd depends on it, which provides the DBus interface to dhcp3-client that's used by network manager, which in turn Network Manager depends on, which in turn ubuntu-desktop depends on. The resolutions offered up by aptitude (supposedly the best tool for resolving dependency issues) all involved uninstalling more packages than I cared to. To work around this I ended up creating a dummy package using the equivs package. That lets me replace the real dhcp3-client with a dummy one, which uninstalled the dhcp3-client binaries and scripts. All this makes me wonder if ubuntu-minimal ought to be dependent on the generic dhcp-client (which dhcp3-client, dhcpcd, and udhcpc all provide), rather than a specific package. (Of course on Hardy that won't fix the dhcdbd dependency. I'm guessing that means dhcp3 is probably the only client Network Manager knows how to control.) I'm also wondering if uninstalling dhcp3-client was even necessary. I noticed when I installed udhcpc that it didn't cause any conflicts, even though it ought to have conflicted with another package providing dhcp-client. Either udhcpc isn't correctly tagged as providing dhcp-client, or the two can peacefully coexist. Looks like dhcpcd has dhcp-client listed as a conflict, while udhcpc doesn't. Given that they all are driven by the sane interfaces config file, I'd expect there to be conflicts. I'd like to understand better how that works. Is each overwriting the other's ifupdown scripts? Is there a common script with a bunch of -x tests to see which binaries are present? I did test and confirm that dhcpcd=1:3.2.3-1.1 does work on alias interfaces on intrepid. Unfortunately this doesn't work on Hardy with dhcpcd=1:3.0.17-2: # init.d/networking restart * Reconfiguring network interfaces... Error, eth0: dhcpcd not running dhcpcd.sh: interface eth0 has been configured with new IP=192.168.0.203 * Stopping NTP server ntpd ...done. * Starting NTP server ntpd ...done. Error, eth0:1: ioctl SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address Failed to bring up eth0:1. [...] ...done. Looks like the usual failure, though in a bit different format than what ifconfig produces, suggesting it is making its own syscalls, and they're failing in the kernel code. At least it positively states that it failed to bring up the interface (confirmed), unlike dhcp3-client. A second look at the interfaces man page shows that the DHCP configuration directives there are supported by udhcpc in addition to dhcpcd. I hadn't noticed that before, and the udhcpc documentation omits to mention it (should probably file a bug for that). Given that udhcpc spits out warnings, but did appear to work when invoked directly on Hardy, I'm going to try that next. Hurray, it finally worked: # init.d/networking restart * Reconfiguring network interfaces... RTNETLINK answers: No such process udhcpc (v0.9.9-pre) started Sending discover...

[Bug 351378] Re: dhclient fails for virtual interfaces (IP aliases)
Here's the summary how how to work around this bug: First, if you're using Dnsmasq on the server-side you might run into Bug #327703. The Dnsmasq author has a patched version available. 1. On Hardy, download and install the attached dhcp3-client dummy package: % sudo dpkg -i dhcp3-client-dummy_3.0.6.dfsg-1ubuntu9_all.deb and then put it on hold: % sudo aptitude hold dhcp3-client On Intrepid, remove the dhcp3-client package and permit ubuntu-minimal to also get removed (or build your own dummy package using the equivs package). 2. Install udhcpc: % sudo aptitude install udhcpc 3. Add your virtual interface to /etc/network/interfaces, while also adding unique hostname and client arguments for both. The client identifiers can match the corresponding host names or be any other reasonable string, as long as they are not used by any other DHCP clients on your network. auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp hostname primary-host client primary-client-id auto eth0:1 iface eth0:1 inet dhcp hostname virtual-host client virtual-client-id 4. Restart the network subsystem: % sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ** Attachment added: Dummy package to permit removing the real dhcp3-client package http://launchpadlibrarian.net/25005944/dhcp3-client-dummy_3.0.6.dfsg-1ubuntu9_i386.deb -- dhclient fails for virtual interfaces (IP aliases) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351378 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dhcp3 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 351378] Re: dhclient fails for virtual interfaces (IP aliases)
Bryan McLellan wrote: These two errors are because dhclient-script does not support alias interfaces. That may be partly right. I see /sbin/dhclient-script contains the comment: # The alias handling in here probably still sucks. -mdz and there's clearly evidence that it is attempting to support virtual interfaces: if [ -n $alias_ip_address ]; then But real problem seems to be that the script contains lines like: ifconfig $interface inet 0 up and the current version of ifconfig spits out those errors when a virtual interface is set to a zero IP address. The evidence suggests that this worked at one time. In fact, multiple DHCP packages seem to expect this operation to work. I recently tried udhcpc and got familiar results: # udhcpc --hostname=indianpoint --interface=eth0:0 --pidfile=/var/run/udhcpc.eth0:0.pid udhcpc (v0.9.9-pre) started SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address Sending discover... Sending select for 192.168.0.235... Lease of 192.168.0.235 obtained, lease time -1 Resetting default routes adding dns 192.168.0.35 In this case the error is triggered when udhcpc tries to deconfigure the interface before it configures it, but it happily ignores the error. I'm wondering if one workaround might be to modify the scripts to do: ifconfig $interface down if $interface is virtual. (It seems dhclient-script already contains code to detect virtual interfaces.) I presume there is a reason why deconfiguring an interface is normally performed instead of downing it. (I'm guessing it might make a difference if you were running other networking protocols in addition to IP.) The distinction may be irrelevant for a virtual interface, or just for the vast majority of use cases. Running: ip addr del $IP dev eth0:0 seems to work too, but has the effect of bringing down the virtual interface and you need extra code to obtain the current IP address (passing in a zero does nothing). Before a permanent fix can be determined, it needs to be understood whether this represents a bug in ifconfig, or an intentional change in its behavior. I'm thinking of opening up a ticket against ifconfig that this bug can be dependent on. If you don't use this script, those errors go away. But is that a practical option? Doesn't the script provide a pile of needed glue? Patching the script seems more viable. I can't find any mention in the source of supporting virtual/alias interfaces... The code in dhclient-script is enough to convince me that it was the intention to support virtual interfaces. I'm pretty sure I've read reports that they used to work prior to Ubuntu 8.04. I did test and confirm that dhcpcd=1:3.2.3-1.1 does work on alias interfaces on intrepid. Is it a drop-in replacement that works with the rest of the existing infrastructure in Ubuntu, like /etc/network/interfaces? My next step was going to be using the 'up' argument in an interface stanza for a physical interface to call udhcpc to configure a virtual interface. It looks like this will work, but using something that works with the normal documented way of declaring virtual interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces is preferable. -- dhclient fails for virtual interfaces (IP aliases) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351378 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dhcp3 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
Re: [Bug 351378] Re: dhclient fails for virtual interfaces (IP aliases)
Bryan McLellan wrote: Most likely that comment and surely that code is to support the inclusion of an alias definition in your dhclient.conf(5), as opposed to running dhclient on an alias interface. Ah, right. You're probably right. The dhclient.conf(5) man page also mentions pseudo interfaces, which sounds a lot like virtual interfaces: Under some circumstances it can be useful to declare a pseudo-interface and have the DHCP client acquire a configuration for that interface. ... A pseudo-interface is just another state machine running on the interface named real-name, with its own lease and its own state. It also notes: You must also provide a separate client script for the pseudo-interface to do what you want with the IP address. If by that they mean your script will be ran in place of /sbin/dhclient-script, then that would be some more evidence supporting your point that /sbin/dhclient-script doesn't support virtual interfaces, as is. Patching the script seems more viable. The script does provide a lot of glue, but working around it as a debugging technique isolates what errors are coming from the script and what errors are coming from the program itself. I guess I was already pretty convinced that the source of the errors was ifconfig, given that the error can be reproduced external to dhclient and it's scripts by invoking ifconfig directly using the same arguments. The next questions is: is ifconfig broken, or is the manner in which dhclient is calling it broken? I don't believe patching the script will do you any good until the 'Bind socket to interface: No such device' error from dhclient is resolved... My assumption was that this was simply a side effect of the deconfigure step failing, which results in the virtual interface never being created, and thus dhclient has no device to work with. This can be resolved by either 1. patching the code so that it instantiates the virtual interface in a deconfigured state, or 2. special casing virtual interfaces so that the physical interface gets used for the DHCP handshake, while the specified virtual interface is used for the resulting call to ifconfig. (Apparently the latter happens with udhcpc.) Removing dhcp3-client (which removed ubuntu-minimal)... Removing ubuntu-minimal sounds like something to be avoided, but there was mention of people doing that (as a side effect of removing the wireless package) in the bug this one was split off from, and it didn't sound like it caused any problems. I'll have to take a look at ubuntu-minimal to see what it is. ...and installing dhcpcd worked just fine with /etc/network/interfaces ... and thus appears like a clean enough work around. Excellent. Thanks for the suggested workaround. Care to post the /etc/network/interfaces syntax you used for the virtual interface?

Although I don't have dhcpcd installed, I've observed similar results with dhclient, where it fails to configure the interface, but invoking ifconfig directly with a static address works. This gives some hope for a possible workaround hack. I'm thinking in /etc/network/interfaces one could invoke a script using the 'up' argument for the main (real) interface, which then would invoke dhclient in some fashion or maybe using a simpler DHCP client like udhcpc that returns an IP address to a shell variable, and then invokes ifconfig, passing the address. It would have limitations, like requiring perpetual leases (I think, as there would be no process left running to handle an expired lease).

While a MAC address is often used as the default way to identify a DHCP client, the DHCP client can optionally supply other identifying information. For example, this theoretically correct (untested, due to this bug) stanza from /etc/network/interfaces specifies that when the DHCP client requests an address for the virtual interface that it identifies itself with the alternate host name, indianpoint. auto eth0:1 iface eth0:1 inet dhcp hostname indianpoint Being able to use DHCP on virtual interfaces is highly desirable in order to keep maintenance to a minimum, especially if you are using an integrated DHCP/DNS service, like Dnsmasq. In that case the act of requesting an address with the alternate host name will automatically generate a corresponding DNS A-record for that hast name.

that should apply to virtual interfaces.

This call to ifconfig seems to be the source of the errors. I'm puzzled how you
can get an EACCES error on a newly created socket while running as root, if
SELinux or AppArmor isn't involved (as far as I'm aware).

It seems the EACCES error is incorrect and misleading, and the call should
instead return an error indicating that the address is invalid.
I'm assuming dhclient is calling ifconfig in this fashion in order to
create the virtual device, and if successful, is going to go back after
obtaining an IP address via DHCP and update the interface.
I gather some internals in ifconfig or the kernel changed.

[Bug 351378] [NEW] dhclient fails for virtual interfaces (IP aliases)
Public bug reported: dhcp3-client 3.0.6.dfsg-1ubuntu9 on Ubuntu 8.04 fails as follows when you attempt to use it to configure a virtual interface: # dhclient eth0:0 There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.pid with pid 134519072 Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.6 Copyright 2004-2007 Internet Systems Consortium.

For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/sw/dhcp/ SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address Bind socket to interface: No such device This is a regression from the prior Ubuntu release, so I've read.

[Bug 329053] Re: Cannot use both zlib.output_compression and output_handler together!!
Kees Cook wrote: ...old installs of mythweb that contain a left-over copy of /etc/mythtv/mythwweb-htaccess file (it should be renamed to something else) So to clarify, this changes the steps to implement the workaround. I reverted the changes I had made to /etc/apache2/sites- available/mythweb.conf (per the prior comments), restarted apache, confirmed the problem was still present, then ran: # mv /etc/mythtv/mythweb-htaccess /etc/mythtv/mythweb-htaccess.obsolete # /etc/init.d/apache2 restart and that also worked to resolve the problem. Presumably mythweb-htaccess can then be deleted. -- Cannot use both zlib.output_compression and output_handler together!! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/329053 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to php5 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
