[Bug 120483] Re: nfsboot ubuntu desktop fails with errors creating /dev/null
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Lucid Lynx. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/. Thanks again and we appreciate your help. -- nfsboot ubuntu desktop fails with errors creating /dev/null https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120483 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Did you figure out if this was an error on your part, or if it was an actual bug? ** Changed in: ubuntu Assignee: (unassigned) = Nanley Chery (nanoman) Status: New = Incomplete -- nfsboot ubuntu desktop fails with errors creating /dev/null https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120483 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 120483] Re: nfsboot ubuntu desktop fails with errors creating /dev/null
Hi, Yeah, turns out this was actually because of Network Manager taking down and bringing up again eth0. That bug is still present.

Hey, I managed to get it all working pretty nicely.

I did a quick search on launchpad; it looks like we are not alone! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/111227 There seem to be a couple of solutions listed, but they are a bit hacky and nasty -- nfsboot ubuntu desktop fails with errors creating /dev/null https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120483 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 120483] Re: nfsboot ubuntu desktop fails with errors creating /dev/null
Hacked up /etc/init.d/{avahi-daemon, dbus} with exit 0 at the top of both
files to get them to go away and stop mucking around with the network card when
it already has an IP.
TestingFails. New errors!
Seems to fail almost immediately after Starting basic networking...
Ends up with basically file not found errors and then I/O errors. Which
suggests Starting basic networking is hosing eth0 on boot.
I can't work out which service is responsible for this message though.
Must be somewhere in /etc/init.d/ :-)
Seem to be getting a tiny bit closer...

It's NetworkManager, and it's binary /usr/sbin/NetworkManager, not a script, so it will be hard to patch.

[Bug 120483] Re: nfsboot ubuntu desktop fails with errors creating /dev/null
I'm having the same trouble except that I don't see the /dev/null error, although it may flash by too fast for me to read. I get a slew of complaints about sed before the system hangs. I added single to the boot options of my nfs bootup, and successfully got to a root prompt. The only problem I had during the boot (that I could catch) was a timeout trying to mount my samba share. From there I could do pretty much anything that I wanted. The network was up, I had internet access, I could nfs share other file systems, I could start X and get a full desktop etc. Once I verifiied everything was looking good, I went back to the root prompt and entered telinit 2. From there it was all bad. Avahi timed out, so I removed that from the startup and tried again, and next the network manager (i think it was called) failed after that. Once that happened I got a flash of messages, and the last screen was full of startup script failures complaining they couldn't find sed (it's in /bin and does exist on the system). Since the system hangs at that point I can only guess what went wrong. I assume something is blowing away my root file system. Next I'll start manually running the rc2.d scripts and see if I can narrow down what's causing all the fuss. -- nfsboot ubuntu desktop fails with errors creating /dev/null https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120483 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It does look to me like some networking components in bootup are killing it off. It's 2:15am where I am, so I may well poke this tomorrow! :) -- nfsboot ubuntu desktop fails with errors creating /dev/null https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120483 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
