Public bug reported:
As documented in bug #96103 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/network-manager/+bug/96103 the network manager will only activate one
nic at a time in a multi-homed host. If you run ifconfig, the second
card is there, but there is no IP address assigned to it, even though it
has a static address in /etc/network/interfaces. On my system, network
manager always starts eth1, the public internet interface, and leaves
eth0 down, the LTSP client-side interface.
LTSP's DHCP fails to start because there is no active subnet for the
client side.
The work around is to manually "sudo ifdown eth0" and then "sudo ifup
eth0". This restores an IP address for the client side. Then run "sudo
/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart".
This must be manually done on every reboot. I have tried to make a
init.d script to automate it, but being a linux newbie, I still haven't
been able to get it to work in the right place to come after networking
start and before dhcp start.
Please fix for Feisty release. This kills LTSP out of the box. Thanks.
