Public bug reported:
With the last Ubuntu update dhcp(3)-client got uninstalled on my system.
So when the network-manager tried to connected I read the following in
/var/log/syslog:
Sep 19 18:34:51 till-laptop NetworkManager: <WARN> dhclient_start():
/sbin/dhclient does not exist.
So I reinstalled dhcp3-client (using aptitude install dhcp3-client) and
now I read the following:
Sep 19 23:48:35 till-laptop dhclient: Usage: dhclient [-1dqrx] [-nw] [-p
<port>] [-s server]
Sep 19 23:48:35 till-laptop dhclient: [-cf config-file] [-lf
lease-file][-pf pid-file] [-e VAR=val]
Sep 19 23:48:35 till-laptop dhclient: [-sf script-file]
[interface]
Sep 19 23:50:58 till-laptop dhclient: Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client
V3.1.3
The workaround is to open a terminal and type: sudo dhclient3 and
everything seems to work. The only downside is that the network manager
doesn't seem to recognize this. So it keeps spinning up there.
You're only affected if you try to use dhcp. If you hardcode network
settings in the connection profile (in network-manager), it works like
expected.
