Public bug reported: initramfs-tools 0.131ubuntu10 modified configure_networking to use run_dhclient instead of ipconfig. configure_network now fails to configure networking in the initramfs because it now uses features not available in the initramfs.
https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs- tools/commit/?id=a77729e9a69ff7af4911285c771d80e01b7addfe run_dhclient calls dhclient which calls /sbin/dhclient-script. /sbin/dhclient-script calls 'chown --reference=$resolv_conf $new_resolv_conf', but chown isn't available in initramfs /boot/initrd.img-4.18.0-7-generic. /sbin/dhclient-script also calls 'chmod --reference=$resolv_conf $new_resolv_conf' but busybox chmod in the initramfs does not support the option --reference. ** Affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: cosmic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1793060 Title: configure_networking uses features not available in initramfs.
