Thanks, Mathieu! I didn't get a chance to test this yet, but it's great to see it may be now fixed for good. :-)
Could you assist us once more? We've been trying to send the fix for this bug upstream, so that all GNU/Linux distros can get the fixed versions. However, the original mailing list for klibc seems... kinda flaky. It's not dead, but it seems there's a lot of outside conversation before they do get patches. By being (one of) the maintainer (s) of this package in Ubuntu, you might have more contact / closeness with H. Peter Anvin or any other dev who's involved with the upstream caretaking of klibc / klibc-utils. Could you send your fixes upstream? I know I'm asking for even more work regarding this, but it's a chance to have this fixed across all the Linux habitat instead of only Ubuntu (maybe Debian?). Thanks. :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to klibc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1327412 Title: Delay during PXE Boot, IP-Config gives up Status in klibc package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in klibc source package in Trusty: In Progress Status in klibc source package in Wily: In Progress Status in klibc source package in Xenial: In Progress Status in klibc package in Debian: New Bug description: [Impact] PXE booting users with live images or other minimal setups using klibc-utils. [Test case] Attempt to PXE boot using Ubuntu live images; see below for details. [Regression potential] This forces the yiaddr (client requested/current IP) to be set to 0 when sending DHCP messages; currently the messages are DHCPREQUEST and DHCPDISCOVER, which should typically only happen when there is no IP set on the device and it is otherwise unable to receive unicast (on account of not being configured). Should there be a need to send other messages which would require setting the yiaddr value to the current configured IP address, a naive change would break. The yiaddr variable would need to be adjusted to pull value from a new location, or initialized directly by the callers to dhcp_send() where the business logic would reside. --- Attempting to PXE boot both the 12.04.3 and 14.04 Live images. PXE boot works normally (PXE Menu, select desired image, image begins loading), then the boot process hangs while IP-Config attempts to get an IP address: IP-Config: eth0 hardware address e0:db:55:0c:34:7e mtu 1500 DHCP IP-Config: eth1 hardware address e0:db:55:0c:34:80 mtu 1500 DHCP IP-Config: no response after 2 secs - giving up IP-Config: eth0 hardware address e0:db:55:0c:34:7e mtu 1500 DHCP IP-Config: eth1 hardware address e0:db:55:0c:34:80 mtu 1500 DHCP IP-Config: no response after 3 secs - giving up These lines appear very quickly (5 seconds has NOT elapsed), after about a minute, we get this: IP-Config: eth0 hardware address e0:db:55:0c:34:7e mtu 1500 DHCP IP-Config: eth1 hardware address e0:db:55:0c:34:80 mtu 1500 DHCP IP-Config: no response after 4 secs - giving up Some time later, this: IP-Config: eth0 hardware address e0:db:55:0c:34:7e mtu 1500 DHCP IP-Config: eth1 hardware address e0:db:55:0c:34:80 mtu 1500 DHCP IP-Config: no response after 6 secs - giving up Until finally, this: IP-Config: eth0 hardware address e0:db:55:0c:34:7e mtu 1500 DHCP IP-Config: eth1 hardware address e0:db:55:0c:34:80 mtu 1500 DHCP IP-Config: no response after 9 secs - giving up IP-Config: eth0 hardware address e0:db:55:0c:34:7e mtu 1500 DHCP IP-Config: eth1 hardware address e0:db:55:0c:34:80 mtu 1500 DHCP IP-Config: eth0 guessed broadcast address 172.25.11.31 IP-Config: eth0 complete (dhcp from 172.25.10.20): (snip) While watching the DHCP server logs, Ubuntu is either not sending a DHCP Discover at times, or is not replying back with a DHCPRequest during these sessions, presumably ignoring an response from the DHCP server. From the initial booting of the system via PXE, to when Ubuntu finally shows the desktop, almost 12 minutes will have elapsed. I am seeing this same behavior on both 12.04.3 and 14.04. After finding a number of similar erros via Google and no real resolution, I have opened this bug. The system experiencing this issue has multiple ethernet interfaces (actual HW, not a VM), some Google found solutions suggest hard coding DEVICE=eth0 in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf, however this isn't acceptable as a system attempting to PXE boot may be using an alternate port for the network. I have found what looks to be a very similar bug filed for Debian, #584583, which also contains a patch for this issue (under Debian). I have no problems in PXE booting to various Windows, RedHat, Centos, or Fedora OSs. Ubuntu is the only Live OS that I'm attempting to boot at present.
