Re: Ethernet connection weirdly not working mornings
Hello, Am 29.06.2011 07:03, schrieb John Magolske: Since switching to a new machine and upgrading to the latest Sid, I've been having some weird problems getting a wired connection to the net. Running `ifup eth0` brings up a net connection -- but not in the morning for some reasontimes out with a No DHCPOFFERS received message. Repeatedly. I've been trying this every day for over a week, and like clockwork, morning = no connection, evening = connection. BUT, even though the ethernet connection doesn't work in the mornings, `ifup wlan0` will bring up a wireless connection in the morning just fine. This I'm not a morning-type ethernet is coming out of the very same NETGEAR wifi router that successfully provides a wifi connection any time of day. And when I try my old laptop (running a not-as-up-to-date Sid), it works fine, gets that ethernet connection in the mornings every time. To bring light into this issue you shut sniff your ethernet traffic, when bringing your interface up. This could be done using wireshark or tcpdump. Issuing tcpdump -i eth0 -s 0 -w outfile before ifup eth0, should give some valuable information. You can kill tcpdump (Ctrl+C) after the DHCP timeout. If you can't interpret the resulting capture yourself, you could post it here. Then we should be able to see the communication between the dhcp server und your box. Of course looking into the server logfile would be a good alternative to this, but I suppose, that this isn't possible (with a reasonable amount of effort) for a dhcp server running on a wifi router box. Another idea: Could there be some kind of child protection running on the wifi router preventing the access at some time interval for specified computers?

Redmine allows a lot more flexibility in roles though, you can also run multiple projects in one instance which is not possibly in Trac (need to create differenc instances + you can't have the same level in integration, pe. type #441 in a wiki page to link to bug in an other project). I'm not sure what you guys are talking about, when writing about email in and email ingestion, but redmine support controlling it using email (change issues, create issues). Perhaps it could be a problem, that it doesn't allow this for unregistered users. http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineReceivingEmails#How-it-works My 2 Cent, Enno P.S.: If you like Redmine, you should try ChiliProject: www.chiliproject.org, which is a community fork of redmine. https://www.chiliproject.org/projects/chiliproject/wiki/Why_Fork signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
After upgrade to squeeze system doesn't boot, because of not finding one disk using dmraid
Hi, I already filed a bug about that [1] and now I hope somebody here can help me. I have some servers, where I have to use the hardware raid controller PDC20277 (Promise Fasttrak). Under lenny it works fine using dmraid, but after the upgrade to squeeze (to be exact: after upgrading kernel and udev as mentioned in the upgrade guide [2]) the system doesn't boot anymore, because only one of the to identical ide disks gets configured and therefore the raid array is degraded and the system won't boot using the raid array. The reason for this seem to be new libata, which got introduced in 2.6.30 (I read that on the internet during my research) or the new pdc driver (pata_pdc2027x instead of pdc202xx_new). Or something else I don't see. Any ideas? The only idea I have so far is using an older kernel with debian squeeze. But then I wouldn't get security updates for it. I don't get why the system configures one of the two identical disks but not the other. It seems to see both disks: scsi2 : pata_pdc2027x scsi3 : pata_pdc2027x and then following a similar ata3 and ata4 line (ata2.jpg attached to bug report) [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=618798 [2] http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#upgrading-udev Thanks in advance Enno signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
