 Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2009 7:55 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] OpenRC 0.5.1 does not start my network correctly |
 |
|
EDIT: Here is the solution to get DHCP to work properly with OpenRC 0.5 and DHCP 5. I assume your network interface is eth0.
1) Emerge openrc-0.5.2 and dhcpcd-5.1.2. You do not need openresolv.
2) Do not run the "network" service in any runlevel, but do run "net.lo", "net.eth0", and "dhcpcd" in the boot runlevel and networked services ("ntp-client", "ntpd", etc.) in the default runlevel.
3) You do not need anything in /etc/conf.d/network, but you do need the following in /etc/conf.d/net:
4) Add the following to /etc/dhcpcd.conf:
5) Reboot and enjoy!
As for the long version:
---
Hi,
I've just upgraded to OpenRC 0.5.1 without the oldnet USE flag. I moved /etc/conf.d/net into /etc/conf.d/network, deleted /etc/init.d/net.lo and /etc/init.d/net.eth0 and added network and dhcpcd to the boot runlevel. My network uses DHCP to obtain an IP from a router.
On startup, both dhcpcd and network claim to have started just fine, but they take 0 time to do so, and other services (ntp-client and netmount) fail immediately after. Once I log in, the network is fine, but I can't tell if that's because the DHCP request was backgrounded, or because my router gives me the same IP address every time. There is no mention of DHCP when I try dmesg.
Also note that while ntp-client and netmount claim to be "started", although my NFS shares are not mounted. Restarting each after boot makes it work properly.

In the other thread you claim to see dhcpcd negotiate a lease. I don't. It just flies past that and claims success for the network service.

ip as in "ip route" to show what routes the kernel is using for IP packets. |

Both lines have no meaning with the network init script. They are for the net.lo script. |

Well, I just appended the two lines above to the example configuration, but everything in there was commented out anyway. The example configuration contains some other cases (static IPs, bridges, VLANs, wireless), none of which I need.
| Quote: | | Why it's still a nice nice script. |
Do I need that still? I thought "-oldnet" obsoleted that too, but please correct me if I'm wrong. How can I get that one back btw?
5.1.1
| Quote: | | Both lines have no meaning with the network init script. They are for the net.lo script. |
So, does that mean I need net.lo too?
Should I keep them in /etc/conf.d/network?
Was deleting net.lo my only mistake or did I miss anything else?
Thanks! |

Likely not but network and wpa_supplicant init scripts are not enough to replace net.lo.
So for your ethernet card:
Something like:
| Code: | interfaces="eth0"
ifup_eth0="ifconfig \$int up" |
is enough. |

Is net-dns/openresolv installed?
I think they all work together, that is -> openrc openresolv dhcpcd
On my box I need all of those with sys-apps/openrc-0.5.0-r2 |

I tried these 2 lines in /etc/conf.d/network, and I installed openresolv, which I didn't have before. No change.
Also note that I have now installed 0.5.1-r1, which forces "oldnet", and I have restored /etc/init.d/net.lo, /etc/init.d/net.eth0 (both started at boot), and /etc/conf.d/net.
As I said, my network does work, but the services that depend on it fail at startup. All I need to do is make certain cervices (or ideally, the entire "default" runlevel) wait until the DHCP negotiation is complete.

They are in the pure-funtoo overlay.

I had this problem long before openrc-0.5.x, the simple solution is to have an init script which tests for that using a loop and sleep. then let those services depend on this one. |

First of all, thank you for all your help!
| sera wrote: | | They are in the pure-funtoo overlay. |
OK, so assuming I get them, what should I do with them?
| sera wrote: | | I had this problem long before openrc-0.5.x, the simple solution is to have an init script which tests for that using a loop and sleep. then let those services depend on this one. |
I'd sooner downgrade to 0.4.x than start writing my own scripts. When getting a simple DHCP network client to work requires writing scripts, then something must have gone horribly wrong. Is there another way?
I can't be the only one running services at startup that require a network. |

That's good, but I would like to resolve this without writing any scripts. Even if I did put some time into wrting a script, everyone else with a similar problem would have to do it as well. I appreciate your efforts, but this is not an acceptable solution.
Now, I noticed that dhcp-5.1.2 has been released, and its changelog seems to be realted to my problem: http://roy.marples.name/archives/dhcpcd-discuss/2009/0108.html
I will try installing that in the next 24 hours and I will report what happens. |

I don't use any script. Nothing in runlevels.
There is only net.lo which belongs to openrc.
My static IP is configured in /etc/dhcpcd.conf (see man dhcpcd.conf)
That's it.  |

It's a possibility. And to get the benefit of dhcpcd-5.1.2 a necessity. |

Just spent a painful afternoon retreating from the new openrc and dhcpcd. I need my network connections to Just Work, and without an authoritative step-by-step guide to migrate to the substantively different openrc design, I had to fallback to openrc-0.4.3-r4 and dhcpcd-5.1.1.
After rolling back to openrc-0.4.3-r4, I was still seeing the behavior you describe where several services weren't starting and dhcpcd seemed to blow by without actually doing anything. After reading up on the changes in dhcpcd-5.1.2, I decided to roll that back to dhcpcd-5.1.1. Problem solved. I have a functioning server that establishes it's network connection and all servers and services start normally.
Such is life when you run with keywords (~amd64 in this case). Looking forward to whatever improvements the revamped openrc and networking provide, but I'm not one to hack on network scripts and the like. Networking is the one thing on my boxes I want working without manual configuration. |

OK, I have almost fixed this.
So, I upgraded to dhcpcd-5.1.2 and openrc-0.5.2. The former has exactly what I need: an option to wait before backgrounding. Just add:
to /etc/dhcpcd.conf and dhcpcd will fully acquire an address before it backgrounds, pausing the boot process for a moment, as it should.
Next, I think you do not need anything in /etc/conf.d/network. My /etc/conf.d/net contains:
If /etc/init.d/net.eth0 exists (as a symlink to /etc/init.d/net.lo), the line above will make net.eth0 ask the dhcpcd daemon for an IP, which it already has, resulting in the correct behavior.
Using this, I obtain the correct IP and the correct DNS servers, but I do not get my default route (a.k.a. gateway) set, so I can only access the local network. I end up with mounted NFS shares but virtually nothing else works, in particular ntp-client.
Why is my default route not being set? |

Some additional info:
I reemerged iproute2 and got /sbin/ip back, so now I can have a look at the kernel routing table (ip route):
| Code: | 192.168.0.0/16 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.2 metric 202
unreachable 127.0.0.0/8 scope host
127.0.0.0/8 via 127.0.0.1 dev lo scope link |
Not only is it missing a default route, but the last two lines confuse me. What do they mean?
After boot, if I do "/etc/init.d/dhcpcd restart", I get:
| Code: | 192.168.0.0/16 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.2 metric 202
unreachable 127.0.0.0/8 scope host
127.0.0.0/8 via 127.0.0.1 dev lo scope link
default via 192.168.0.1 dev eth0 metric 202 |
and everything works. Except that those two lines still confuse me... |

Here is what I have and it works.  dhcpcd-5.1.2-r1
openrc-0.5.0-r2
openresolv-3.3.2 | /etc/init.d/net.lo: | #!/sbin/runscript

ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 up && \
route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev lo
eend $?
}
stop() {
ebegin "Shutting down network interface lo"
route del -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev lo &&
ifconfig lo down
eend $?
} |
I use a static IP which is configured in /etc/dhcpcd.conf | Code: | interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.2.10
static routers=192.168.2.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.2.1 |
And dhcpcd in the default runlevel. That's all.
I do not have/etc/conf.d/net
/etc/init.d/net.eth0
/etc/init.d/network
or anything else
Result: | Code: | # route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 202 0 0 eth0
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo

A static IP is easy, since you don't have to wait for anything. If I were to set my IP as static, things would work, but that's not the point.
Anyway, I'm rather please to say that... I GOT IT!!!
All I had to do on top of what I posted above was disable the network service (rc-update del network boot). Voila! Everything works as before, no weird routes, ntp-date and nfs run at startup!
I will update the first post with the entire solution. |

Cool.
I suppose, I should also have mentioned that all my network services that I add to a runlevel get started by openrc during boot.
Glad you got that working.
Cheers. |
