[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#854078: network-manager: nm-online returns before network devices got an address

[Uwe Kleine-König]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.4.4-1
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream
Justification: affects other packages
Control: forwarded -1 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777831

Hello,

this is to track this bug in the Debian BTS. It is already reported
upstream.

tftpd-hpa has in it's init script

        Required-Start:       $local_fs $remote_fs $syslog $network

Still adding to it in do_start()

        ip a > /tmp/tftpd-addr-info

results in this content of the above file

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: wlp2s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether e6:82:ab:03:8f:6c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

That is, tftpd is started before network is ready. When I log into the
machine, network is available, so the problem is really that nm-online
doesn't block long enough.

Best regards
Uwe
