network daemon hangs

ssl6 · 2012-04-01 18:12:51

so i'm not sure what happened, but I rebooted my system this morning, and the network daemon hangs and does not get an ip.....

any thoughts?

Check your logs for clues.

i cleared the logs thinking i would let them start fresh, so far I can't find anything network related showing up

I had to boot from a cd and chroot it to disable everything to get it to boot, so right now the only daemon loading is syslog

i tried booting from the cd to chroot again and run updates

if i try to start the network daemon it just hangs and says busy, nothing really happens

i've now tried downgrading the kernel, and dhcpcd and so far nothing

I can set an ip manually using ifconfig but then if i try to add a route, i still have issues, not sure whats happening, but im not happy at the moment

i have a feeling there might be something corrupted somewhere

I don't know if this is related or not, but in the past few days I noticed I had to restart the network daemon every time my computer woke from sleep. About that time, dhcpcd went from 5.5.4-1 to 5.5.5-1. I downgraded back to 5.5.4-1 and the problem went away (had to reboot of course). You might try that downgrade temporarily and see if it helps.

Start with the basics. Boot your system, bring up the interface and run "dhcpcd <interface>" manually and see what happens (direct output + logging).

if i run manually, nothing happens, dhcpcd just sits there.

i read about issues with the newer dhcpcd as well, so I had tried downgrading it to 5.5.4 as previously mentioend here and had the same results. i've just reloaded the system and its working.....I have a feeling it was something badly corrupted somewhere causing the problem.

it's working now, but I have to reconfigure my system. kde is giving me grief but ill be searching the error in the log and posting a new thread if i need to
