2010-12-08 Thread DinkyDogg
Problem still exists in Ubuntu 10.04 server. Removing package wireless-
tools did not help. Neither did removing auto eth0:0.

r...@dinkydogg:~# ifup eth0:0

After doing this, eth0:0 does NOT show up in ifconfig. However, trying
ifup again results in:

r...@dinkydogg:~# ifup eth0:0
ifup: interface eth0:0 already configured

Doing ifdown results in:

r...@dinkydogg:~# ifdown eth0:0
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address

But then I'm able to bring it back up with ifup.

What the heck... Any ideas?

2009-08-07 Thread cynicismic
Found workaround for jaunty:
apt-get purge wireless-tools: doesn't actually clear out wireless-tools (why is 
it installed on a server anyway?)
rm /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools: still doesn't fix the problem:

Remaining problematic script seems to be a symlink to
../../wpa_supplicant/ipupdown.sh at /etc/if-up.d/wapsupplicant. removing
this allowed the aliases to come up at boot.

on a test VM, apt-get purge wpasupplicant seemed to remove this script
entirely and had the same affect.

This bug deals with virtual interfaces triggering a SIOCSIFFLAGS:

can be remedied by removing or patching the /etc/network/if-pre-up.d

I can say that it is still not fixed with any of the above workarounds. On my

I have no DHCP activated or wireless tool. I defenitly can not work with 
virtual IPAdresses.

I've created Bug #351378 to track the issue where DHCP fails to work for
a virtual interface, when a DHCP client is used directly, or indirectly
via the /etc/network/interfaces config file, and is unaffected by the
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools file.

The two bugs may have a common underlying cause, but superficially they
have different symptoms.

[Bug 123773] Re: 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address' when setting up ip alias

2009-03-02 Thread Jonathan Stewart
Update:  I have found the source of my problem.

I had a custom script (related to dynamic DNS) in /etc/network/if-up.d/

The script was failing, and as a result, the DCHP aquired address was
not getting assigned to the interface.  It appears that if any of the
if-up.d scripts fail, this will interrupt the correct operation of DCHP.

Additionally, i still get the error SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign
requested address.  I do not know why... this indicates some kind of
failure, but all IP configuration is completed as normal. I have DCHP on
eth0, and a static IP addr on eth0:0.

I apologize for the noise, as it now seems my trouble report is not
related to the problems described by other contributors.

[Bug 123773] Re: 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address' when setting up ip alias

2009-03-01 Thread Jonathan Stewart
I want to chime in with my experience.  I have 2 machines, one 8.10, one
8.04.1. I have the same problem on both machines.

On both of them, I have DHCP working on eth0, and a static alias on
eth0:0. They are connected via an ethernet switch.

When I start networking, Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.6
starts up, broadcasts, gets a DCHP address, and then:

SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address

This is NOT a harmless error: the IP address is never assigned to eth0.
However, eth0:0 comes up correctly, properly configured as i expect.

I do not know why it cannot assign the requested address with the
scripts, when there is no problem assigning the same address via
ifconfig.  I will continue to investigate the source of the problem.

[Bug 123773] Re: 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address' when setting up ip alias

2008-11-14 Thread Steve Langasek
Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to improve Ubuntu.

The justification for the extra 'ifconfig' call in wireless-tools does
not apply in jaunty, so I've reverted that change for Ubuntu 9.04.
Changelog follows:

wireless-tools (29-1.1ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Revert change to bring up the interface before changing wireless
settings; the softmac driver this was implemented for is now
obsolete, no other drivers are reported to need it, and it
introduces other problems such as breaking PPP interfaces
(LP: #268519) and preventing configuration of some settings such as
hardware addresses (LP: #219520).

Unfortunately, the justification for this change *does* apply to Ubuntu
8.04, so simply reverting the patch is inappropriate for an SRU as it
would cause regressions for anyone using wireless with the softmac
driver.

For Ubuntu 8.10, wireless-tools is no longer a dependency of ubuntu-
minimal, which mitigates the severity of this problem for any server
users running Ubuntu 8.10.  But changing the dependencies of ubuntu-
minimal is also not a fix that I think would be appropriate for
inclusion in an Ubuntu 8.04 SRU.

So I don't have any good suggestions on how to resolve this for Ubuntu
8.04 LTS, but given the significant impact it's reported to have for
server users in certain configurations, I'm accepting the hardy
nomination for the bug for further consideration.

Tyles, does this problem that you describe have anything to do with the

seven first comments indicate that this is a harmless warning and that
things otherwise work well. Later some people join in with various
problems that are not necessarily due the warning.

Please file new bugs for these different problems. It's easier to merge

You don't have to nominate it for the current development version. The
nominations are for backporting released fixes (see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates). And a developer will
assign it to himself when he is working on it.

Is this still an issue in Intrepid Alpha 6?

If there is a patch that is confirmed to fix the issue and to not cause
regressions for other people, please prepare a debdiff and subscribe
ubuntu-main-sponsors when it's ready.

Its a bug, if you read more of the bug reports, you'll see that things
actually don't work, and actually are a regression from older versions.

Specifically, DHCP doesn't work on virtual ethernet interfaces (such as
eth0:0), and if DHCP is on the parent interface (eth0), that when you
stop the DHCP client/tools, it takes down the parent interface along
with all/any virtual interfaces.

Just can't figure out what actually is wrong, but downgrading manually
to

dhcpcd_2.0.3-1
net-tools_1.60-17ubuntu1
ifupdown_0.6.8ubuntu6

(from Feisty) gets things working in Hardy as they should.

2008-08-26 Thread Juuso Tähkäpää
I happened to upgrade my firewall+webserver and now the firewall part is
bust...

in Feisty I used to bring up my external ip-addresses using commands
like

dhcpcd -I someid eth0:1
dhcpcd -I someotherid eth0:2

but after upgrading to Gutsy today an to Hardy shortly after I found out
dhcp stopped working in the previous upgrade, dhcpcd, ifup with dhcp or
dhclient can't any more do anything to eth0:*. I get

SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address

and similar error messages. Removing wireless-tools has no effect.

BUT!!

If I do the following:

sudo ifconfig eth0:1 1.2.3.4
dhcpcd -I someid eth0:1

I get

dhcpcd -I someid eth0:1

as I normally should, but still ifconfig shows no eth0:1. Manually
assigned aliases (ifconfig eth0:2 $ip) do show up in ifconfig listings
just as they should.

So, something is broken in the two newest releases. No apparent reason
why dhcp:ing aliases shouldn't work any more.

Got this problem on an Ubuntu Server 8.04 recently.

I don't have any Wireless network adapters, so I just did this:

chmod a-x /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools

This removes the execute permission from the wireless-tools file which
disables it from being called and causing the error (SIOCSIFFLAGS:
Cannot assign requested address)

I did not remove the wireless-tools package, because it is a part of
ubuntu-minimal which definitely should not be removed!

It does however work with the non-dhcp virtual interface, which I couldn't get 
working until I figured out to put all the virtual devices on the same 'auto' 
line as their parent device, many examples on the net (debian docs) don't 
include that little note.

# uname -a
Linux www 2.6.13-15.18-smp #1 SMP Tue Oct 2 17:36:20 UTC 2007 i686 i686 i386 
GNU/Linux

Other note: I removed the wireless-tools package (which also took
ubuntu-minimal package with it), it didn't make any difference.

Other note2: So to sum up, it works for me with static virtual
interfaces, but not dhcp interfaces.  Writing this note right now, makes
me think that you may not be able use dhcp on virtual interfaces since
the mac address would be the same as all the other virtual interfaces on
that same parent, and the same as the parent itself.  However, allowing
DHCP on a virtual interface still makes sense, as long as its the only
virtual interfaces using dhcp, and the parent is not using dhcp.
Otherwise, I guess one could make sure to use the parent device as the
dhcp interface, and then static virtual interfaces for the rest, not
sure if this is by design or not.

[Bug 123773] Re: 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address' when setting up ip alias

2008-06-09 Thread gumptravels
I decided to try my theory of using dhcp on the parent interface only.
It works and sends out dhcp requests as expected, if it doesn't get any
responses, the virtual interfaces have to wait for it to be backgrounded
before they are brought up (not a big deal.. 10-15 seconds or something
I think), but the downside, is that if you ifdown eth1 (the parent
interface with dhcp on it), you down all of the virtual interfaces.

I'm guessing the downing of all virtual interfaces is intentional.. and
makes sense, however, this limits us to not being able to shutdown the
dhcp side of the nic without killing the rest of the virtual interfaces.
If the dhcp could run on a virtual interface (assuming the parent and
the other virtual interfaces are not using dhcp, since the mac address
is shared), one could ifup/ifdown the dhcp virtual interface without
affecting the parent or other virtual interfaces on the card.

Thankfully this bug/design is not hindering roll-out, and is more of an
observation showing usability issues.

Regards,
Tyler.

Confirmed in Hardy 8.04 server install.  Pretty annoying bug, when you
consider the vast number of servers that need wireless-tools.  In any
event, the patch (above) did the trick.  I'll play later on a non-server
with wireless to make sure that the change is benign there.

Same problem on ubuntu server 7.10
Tanks to behemot I have located the problem in the file 
/etc/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools (that is installed by the wireless-tools 
package).
In fact the error code is generated when /sbin/ifconfig is invoked to bring up 
an alias (like eth0:0) interface.
In debian lenny's wireless-tools package this problem has been solved by 
removing some lines of code from /etc/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools.
I did the same and it worked well for me, but I cannot test it on a wireless 
system.

I can also confirm that this is the case on AMD64 for Gutsy. This bug
(or it's like) has been around since Feisty. It's pretty annoying
because I run a computer at home with one ip address for my internal

some reason the network goes down, I have to remember to manually bring
up eth0:0 otherwise my site is unaccessible for my external clients.
