My DHCP client isn't started automatically anymore
Hi, since a safe-upgrade on 08.10.09, dhclient3 does not start automatically anymore. I use a router )Fritzbox), which is connected via USB to my machine. The hardware gets detected properly, and I have activated DHCP on the Fritzbox. The internal IP has not changed. Reconfiguring the network via grml-config results in turning on the client, but specifying the startup of dhclient at boot, fails. Although I answer this question with "yes", the client doesn't start with the boot procedure. The config script exits with code 1 shown at the prompt, but there are no error messages on the screen. The only thing that works is to include the networking script into the startup procedure by: update-rc.d networking defaults This was not necessary before. The client's binary has the date of 05.10.09, although the problems came up yesterday. I include the contents of my /etc/network/interfaces here:
auto lo eth0 iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet dhcp
Any hints? Hermann

I deactivated the networking script again and activated the bootlogd program. Here are the related lines from /var/log/boot:
Sun Oct 11 11:38:53 2009: Setting up networking.... Sun Oct 11 11:38:53 2009: Cleaning up temporary files.... Sun Oct 11 11:38:54 2009: Setting up resolvconf...done. Sun Oct 11 11:38:56 2009: Not starting as we're not running in a vm. Sun Oct 11 11:38:56 2009: Running 0dns-down to make sure resolv.conf is ok...done. Sun Oct 11 11:38:56 2009: Cleaning up temporary files....
What does this mean? "not in a vm"? If this should stand for "virtual machine", I don't understand this entry at all. I've installed GRML as only OS on that machine. Hermann

You don't have sysv-rc + insserv installed, right?

% grep ' vm.' /etc/init.d/* /etc/init.d/open-vm-tools: echo "Not starting as we're not running in a vm."
Not relevant/related.

No, none of them. Why did it work before Friday? What to do? Leave it as it is, e.g. using the networking script, or is it better to install the mentioned programs? Hermann

No idea what has changed on your box. Does manually running 'ifup eth0' work?

No, do NOT install sysv-rc + insserv.
