Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ltsp-client-core
My LTSP installation works great except for this issue: the LTSP clients got 0.0.0.0 broadcast address from the server after booting. Steps to reproduce: 1. Unlock the chroot root account following this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/UnlockChrootRootAcct 2. Boot an LTSP client. 3. When LDM is displayed, press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to go to a text console. 4. Login as root. 5. Type "ifconfig". Result: All the IP parameters has been correctly set up from the DHCP server, except for the broadcast address, which has been set as 0.0.0.0: r...@p8pc1:~# ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:d6:3b:40 inet addr:192.168.0.2 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.0.0 inet6 addr:fe80::a00:27ff:fed6:3b40/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets: 79891 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets: 14726 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:120036016 (120.0 MB) TX bytes:1055693 (1.0 MB) If I then do a "udhcpc eth0" to get a new DHCP lease, I get: r...@p8pc1:~# udhcpc eth0 udhcpc (v0.9.9-pre) started Sending discover... Sending select for 192.168.0.2... Lease of 192.168.0.2 obtained, lease time 43200 Resetting default routes adding dns 192.168.0.1 and now I have all the IP params perfectly setup, including the broadcast address: r...@p8pc1:~# ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:d6:3b:40 inet addr:192.168.0.2 Bcast:192.168.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 inet6 addr:fe80::a00:27ff:fed6:3b40/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets: 81418 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets: 15092 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:122309092 (122.3 MB) TX bytes:1086942 (1.0 MB) So obviously this is not a problem on the dhcpd configuration in the LTSP server. ** Affects: ltsp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- LTSP clients got 0.0.0.0 broadcast address from the server after booting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604276 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
