Description Pedro Lamarão 2005-06-19 16:29:25 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pt-BR; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050524 Fedora/1.0.4-4 Firefox/1.0.4

Description of problem:
After upgrading from FC3, I noticed my DSL failed to connect at boot time.
As a consequence, many network aware applications, like the NTP client, failed.

Logging in, I could activate the connection from the system-control-network application.

I tried opening system-config-network, removing the DSL connection, (boot to feel safe), add a new DSL connection and reboot. But there was no change in the system's behaviour.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-network-1.3.26-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a new DSL connection, marking it to come up at boot time.
2. Reboot.
3. Don't profit.

Actual Results:  The boot scripts didn't properly activate the DSL connection.

Expected Results:  The boot scripts should have properly activated the DSL connection.

Additional info:

I have an ip-up.local script in /etc/ppp to do some system specific stuff I need. It works properly when I activate the connection through system-control-network.

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2005-06-20 07:32:03 UTC
any messages in /var/log/messages about the failure??

Comment 2 Owen Heisler 2005-06-25 01:15:50 UTC
On a clean install of FC4, the system hangs on startup while connecting to a
dialup connection.  If I disconnect the line from the modem, boot up will
continue.  I can connect manually without problems.  If I then shutdown, I get
the following message when shutting down the dialup connection:

Shutting down interface dialup... audit: *NO* daemon at audit_pid=1981

This is the first of about six lines; I can't catch it all while shutting down,
and I don't know where to find it if it is in a log file somewhere.

I checked /var/log/messages and /var/log/boot.log for logged errors.

I found only (in /var/log/boot.log):
Jun 23 19:44:29 localhost NET[10592]: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-post
: updated /etc/resolv.conf

Comment 4 Pedro Lamarão 2005-10-02 23:59:40 UTC
This problems stopped occurring to me byte the time of the 2.6.12 kernel update
in a fully updated system.

Comment 5 Owen Heisler 2005-10-03 00:47:25 UTC
Currently, my problems have become intermittent... I will wait to see whether
they are fixed completely now.  I still get junk during startup and shutdown
when enabling/disabling the dialup connection.

Comment 7 Harald Hoyer 2006-07-19 14:06:43 UTC
does it help, if you disable selinux?

Sorry, I'm using Debian Linux now; I got tired of problems with Fedora.  I also
no longer have a dialup connection.  However, a kernel update fixed the problem
in FC4, but the problem returned in FC5.  As of about two months ago, updates
had not fixed the problem in FC5.
