Description of problem: This is an odd one as I have 1 system where I see it and one where I don't. Doing a rawhide vnc install on ia64 I have a system who's ip address is 10.12.11.11 however when anaconda starts vnc it reports the ip wrong: The VNC server is now running. Please connect to 152.162.59.3:1 to begin the install... Starting graphical installation... I have verified that the system IS using the right ip address and if I point vncviewer to the right ip I see that vnc is running just fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rawhide-20060614 anaconda-11.1.0.33-1 vnc-server-4.1.2-2 How reproducible: every time on one system, never on another, will try other systems Steps to Reproduce: 1. do a vnc install and verify the ip address that is reported 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
These two machines are both ia64? Or you are experiencing this bug only on ia64 architecture?
both of these were ia64. Here are the differences that _might_ be why one works and one doesn't: broken system: using eth0 which is an e1000, ip is 10.12.11.11 working system: using eth1 which is an e100 device, ip is 10.12.11.31 I have other systems I will try this on today to see where else it works/does not work. All of my hardware here is ia64 but I have an x86_64 at home I can experiment with as well possibly tomorrow.
OK, I tried this on 4 HP Integrity ia64 systems. The only one that gives the right ip is the one that uses eth1. All the others (using eth0) give what appears to be a random number for the ip address. I will re-cable this to use eth0 just to confirm that is the difference. Not sure if that gets us closer to why it is broken but bothers me that it works on just this one! I like consistency ;)
Okay, looks like this was fixed by this: * Fri Jul 7 2006 David Cantrell <dcantrell> - 11.1.0.54-1 ... - Use configured interface for VNC connections (clumens, #197721) Re-open if not *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 197721 ***
