I have encountered a similar issue with the Ubuntu installer. It turned out that the DHCP server was providing DNS server information, but the DNS server itself was not reachable.
It appears that dhclient does some verification of the DHCP settings offered, and rejects the IP address if the configration is invalid (e.g. the nameserver is not reachable). Unfortunately, there is no logging which indicates what settings dhclient is verifying and which configuration error causes dhclient to reject the IP address being offered. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1785768 Title: [bionic] net-installer dhcp client fails with DHCPDECLINE To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netcfg/+bug/1785768/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
