Title:
DHCP Server offline, causes IP release, causes X Windows not
responding
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I started with a basic fstab mount for a CIFS share on the local file system.
Nothing fancy about the mount. Use these instructions to duplicate:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
Sometimes my DHCP Server goes offline for whatever reason. The result
is ubuntu releases the IP of the network interface.
A that point X Windows stops responding (Both GNOME, and KDE in Karmic
Kubuntu). I'm not able to change window focus. Minimizing doesn't
work. The Start menu doesn't appear. Everything is stalled.
If, for whatever reason, my DHCP server isn't back online yet and I
don't feel like assigning a static IP, and I would like to continue
using ubuntu I have to switch to another tty and do a lazy unmount
(umount -l) of the CIFS to get Xorg back to normal.
What I would expect would be for the IP not to be released when the DHCP
server is unreachable.
What I would expect is for X Windows to continue to function as expected even
though this arbitrary mount on the file system is not functioning.
I used network-manager as the package because it's step one of two
faults that are reported here. I have no idea which package would be
appropriate for the second fault.
