Public bug reported: System: AMD-64, Jaunty (fully updated) Sorry, I don't know which package this is related to - presumably the base system or something similar?
Booting into recovery mode, one of the options I am presented with after initial startup is "root shell with networking" (sorry, I'm paraphrasing as I don't have the exact wording in front of me). Taking this option, the first thing the system tries to do is connect to the network, but using DHCP, even though I have a static IP address configured. What happens: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.1 All rights reserved. For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/sw/dhcp/ [ 51.593109] NET: Registered protocol family 17 Listening on LPF/eth0/00:1d:92:3f:8b:27 Sending on LPF/eth0/00:1d:92:3f:8b:27 DPCHPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3 DPCHPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3 DPCHPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 DPCHPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 DPCHPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 16 DPCHPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 DPCHPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 16 No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Result: a long wait while it decides there's no DHCP available, followed by unconfigured networking. What should happen: Should recognise that the computer has static IP address set up and should configure networking accordingly. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Jaunty recovery mode networking fails with fixed IP address https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/380905 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
