OK, I found where the problem is. Looking at /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init- premount/udhcp, line 223, you see:
ip address add $ip/$(subnet_to_cidr $subnet) dev $interface The above line is the command which effectively sets up the IP parameters of the network interface. However, it doesn't sets the broadcast address. The best solution is to change the above line with the following: [ -n "$broadcast" ] && IP_BROADCAST="broadcast $broadcast" ip address add $ip/$(subnet_to_cidr $subnet) $IP_BROADCAST dev $interface After doing update-initramfs, ltsp-update-kernels and ltsp-update-image, LTSP clients get their broadcast address perfectly well. -- LTSP clients doesn't sets up their broadcast addresses during bootup (patch provided which fixes the issue) 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
