Public bug reported: Binary package hint: network-manager
Ubuntu release: Jaunty NetworkManager : 0.7.1~rc4.1.cf199a964-0ubuntu2 When I unplug/plug my PC on my DHCP network, sometimes I don't get the same IP, even if the IP is free. The problem is that when deactive an interface, NM delete the /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient-<interface>.leases file ! Doing this, it's impossible for dhclient to ask for the _same_ IP address when the interface is re-activated. It's a really annoying bug when you have to manage a network of Jaunty machines : all IP addresses can change if you just reboot a switch (deactive/reactive signal on all interfaces)... If /home is NFS-mounted, all PC just stop to work. The patch included fix this issue. It's from the NM git, see the commit here : http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=756bc704029050af94ef678bb4c0bdc02da14034 Thanks ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: jaunty -- dhcp-manager: don't remove leases: they can actually be useful... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378008 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
