Public bug reported: What I expect to happen:
When booting Ubuntu, I expect the computer to get a DHCP lease and to have networking available as soon as Gnome starts up. What happens instead: 1 - The boot hangs at the boot splash screen for some 20 to 30 seconds (already reported as https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/114610). 2 - After eventually finishing the boot into Gnome, no network is available (except localhost). 3 - It needs at least one sudo /etc/init.d/network restart to get the network up. Ethernet network in this case. Often, issueing the above command more than once is needed. - - - This is obviously a regression as this misbehaviour started with one of the updates very close to 8.10's release date. I had installed 8.10 at the alpha3 stage. I tried to boot Jaunty's Xubuntu CD and DHCP times out there as well. DHCP works just fine if I boot this same computer into Hardy Heron or Windows. I tried to debug the issue by catching dhcp packages with dhcpdump. Please find the logs attached. What I found is, dhcp3 reports a vastly wrong time for the validity of the lease in case it eventually gets one. The lease is meant to be valid 14400 seconds while dhcp3 reports some 6000-odd seconds. - - - m...@piccard:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.10 Release: 8.10 m...@piccard:~$ apt-cache policy dhcp3-client dhcp3-client: Installiert: 3.1.1-1ubuntu2 Kandidat: 3.1.1-1ubuntu2 Versions-Tabelle: *** 3.1.1-1ubuntu2 0 500 http://ubuntu.intergenia.de intrepid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: dhcp3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- DHCP very slow and unreliable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311968 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dhcp3 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
