Brian, I take NM and correct application behavior as importantly as you do. It *is* frustrating to see things not working properly, and while I am slightly biased, perhaps I can offer some details here.
Ubuntu and Canonical didn't exactly make the decisions regarding how NetworkManager was to handle interfacing with dhclient: upstream, so the NetworkManager developers themselves did. For various reasons this may have caused dhclient's scripts to no longer be run in Ubuntu, and the exit hooks to still work in other distributions, but blaming people (at Canonical, or upstream) for this is certainly not the constructive way to correct the situation :) Has this been brought up upstream yet? Also, as the suggested changes (attached script and blog post) seem safe, it could be feasible to implement them, but it probably needs a little more checking first. -- NetworkManager does not use dhclient-exit-hooks.d https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293139 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
