Dhcpcd not starting correctly via rc.d/network startup script

Whenever I try to setup my network with /etc/rc.d/network  I always fail to get a lease.  When I execute the same command manually, I get an IP and everything associated with it.
I've added the lines below to the network script for debugging:
echo 'whoami: '`whoami`
echo 'which dhcpcd: '`which dhcpcd`
echo '$DHCPCD_ARGS: '$DHCPCD_ARGS
echo '$interface: '$interface
I've set it to debug mode, and have the output when running it below
[foo@bar etc]$ sudo rc.d/network start
:: Starting network [BUSY]
whoami: root

$DHCPCD_ARGS: -d

What am I doing wrong, and/or what can I do to fix this?

Maybe I got something wrong here but didn't sspitfire write that dhcpcd only works when starting it manually after it failed at startup? What exactly is "noip4all" supposed to do, I'm asking because it didn't work for me.  I tried "noip4ll" like written in dhcpcds manpage without any effort .  "noarp" and "waitip" also had no positive effect. Maybe I leave dhcpcd in the rc.local even if it's a bit of a dirty solution. ("noarp" and "waitip" I gathered from the dhcpcd  manpage).

  • "Plugin did not start correctly" error message

    I have the current version of Photomatix Pro loaded as an HDR plugin for Lightroom 3.0.  When I try to export the series of images from Lightroom to Photmatix, I get the following message:
         Info
              Plugin did not start correctly
              Please check whether you invoked the plugin by choosing 'File > Plug-in Extras'
    The process that I used in Lightroom was to hold down CTRL and select the 5 images while in Lightroom 3.0.  The I right clicked, went to Export and then to Photomatix Pro which appears in the list.  After doing this, I receive the above message.
    The way that I installed the software was to first have Lightroom 3.0 installed and updated.  Then I installed the Photomatix Pro software and answered the question during installation that I wanted to use it as a plugin in LR.  That was it.
    I just discovered something.  In LR I went to File, Plugin Extras, Export to Photomatix Pro and this worked!!!!  There is evidently a problem with the right click, export to a plugin.  Don't know how to pass this on to the developers so if someone does, please do so.
      Thanks, Don

    Hello @jimboware and welcome to the HP Forums!
    As far as I'm aware, there is no Windows 6, did you perhaps mean Windows 7? This What's My OS link will help if you'd like
    When you're starting the install, do you plug in the USB cable before the software asks for it?
    Let me know that information and we'll go from there!

  • Satellite M-series does not start correctly

    Hello,
    I have the following problem: suddenly (don't know why, nothing changed) Satellite notebook shows black white screen with about the following:
    (sorry, translated from german):
    windows did not start correctly... due to software or hardware change.. pls choose last functional configuration if mistake was due to power shut down...
    But this does not work, also all other options (start windows as normal, start in safe mode...did not work.
    No idea what happenend !
    Problem:
    Actually moved to another country and forgot or lost recovery CD ! already contacted Toshiba for new one but maybe anyway somebody can help?

    Hmm. Stupid situation. If possible try to obtain Microsoft WXP installations CD to see if you can start installations procedure properly and if you can use repair option too.
    It is not easy to say what is wrong there but I just hope there is no problem with HDD. Try to use original recovery disc.

    my computer will not start up. the message diplaying says 'startup test failed'. any tips??

    Hi,
    Do you know which test your notebook failed?  If you don't know, try the following.
    Shutdown the notebook.  Tap away at f10 as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu.  Under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory.  Post back with the details of any error messages.

  • Wicd works, network startup scripts don't

    Title tells the story.  Using wicd-1.7 I can connect to wireless networks and the connection remains stable.  Using various combinations of rc.conf settings, netcfg, /etc/conf.d/wireless getting a connection is impossible at boot time and problematic after boot.  The problem occurs on every system I've tested arch on.  Wicd works, network startup scripts don't or only occasionally if some magic spell is properly cast.  I'm positive I've configured the settings in rc.conf correctly as I've been able to connect using those by some combination of rmmod WLAN_MODULE, modprobe WLAN_MODULE, /etc/rc.d/network restart or netcfg ESSID.  The requirement is that I am willing to go through the sequence multiple times. 
    I have just started testing arch and don't know if the network scripts worked before, but I assume they must have.  Were there changes in the network startup scripts recently?  I'm seeing many topics in the forums related to wireless problems.

    When I say that netcfg ESSID works after startup, I mean that it  works sometimes and that net-auto-wireless failed along with all other options that had the wireless start during boot.  I'm not sure which version I tried but this was a new install in December or January and I was ready to remove arch by the end of February.  A new version of wicd was released with some bug fixes that kept arch on the systems.  Had that failed this laptop would likely have a BSD on it.  Probably OpenBSD as I haven't tested that yet.
    My current settings are configured for wicd and not causing any significant issues, other than having to reload the wireless driver when resuming from suspend.

    and this is NOT the case when the application hangs at startup.
    I tried other JDK version, and same there. Works once, .visualvm is created inside the $HOME location. Close the tool and restart, then it hangs at startup.

    I'd try reconfiguring the server - if you are getting an error on the simias10 page - there is something not right with the base configuration.
    On a next reconfiguration, try using SSL. Setting up SSL on openSUSE is not that hard to setup (for example see steps 1 & two in the bit 'Configuring Apache for SSL' : Installing iFolder Server on openSUSE 11.1 & 11.2 | DiWi ).
    The rest of that blog is dated as I wrote it for 11.1, but there is an updated blog here
    iFolder on OpenSuSE 11.3 full install walkthrough daniel lench
    that might help in getting a better pictures of what needs to be configured and shake off the rust a bit :)
    Also, the author of the iFolder JeOS might be able to give you some pointers?
    Cheers,
    Willem

  • Coreapp in 11g not starting correctly

    I have upgraded from 10g to 11g and run the UA as well as refreshed the GUID's. When I start OPMN, presentation services does not start. When I go through EM and do a restart I get the same behavior where everything starts except presentation service. When I go to the Availability tab and select Presentation Service and click start selected, it starts with no issue. The system almost acts like when OPMN starts it is starting services out or order thus why Presentation Service fails, but will start once everything is online. The logs are not telling me anything because nothing is truly failing. Has anyone seen this behavior? The install was done on AIX.

    I found that by setting the permissions on the middleware directory recursively to 775 that this resolved the issue.

  • IMS 5.1 not starting correctly

    I am using iPlanet Messaging server 5.1.
    When starting the messaing server I am getting error "/usr/iplanet/ims: Starting STORE daemon ...stored: Could not get store session lock. Possibly stored already running".
    I tried again after a reboot but no success.
    I have removed /etc/rc2.d/S88sendmail script.
    Thanks,
    -Prashant.

    make sure iMS will not start on reboot
    reboot
    start iMS by hand, i.e. ../start-msg
    what happens?
    Did you change user|group information post installation? Change permissions?

  • Internet stops working after 10 mins and apps do not start correctly

    Hi!
    I can use my Macbook pro for ten minutes after I turned it on. Then the followings happens:
    Safari crashes (also tried Chrome and Firefox) -> The loading bar does not complete and I cannot access any homepage.
    Some apps like iTunes, Pages,... do not start completely. -> I click on the symbol, the white point beneath it appears but nothing more happens.
    I hope that somebody can help me with it.
    s.

    How are you accessing the internet? If by Airport, then what happens if you try ethernet?
    It might be worth running the extended version of the Apple hardware test right after you lose connection to the internet. I'm wondering if you might have a problem of some sort with the airport card which is triggered by heat or something like that? If so, you might get an error code that would point to the problem.
    Also try running SMART Utility to check out the physical health of your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/smartutility.html
    You can download the demo and run it several times for free. If your hard drive is going south, that could be a contributing factor to your other problems.
    You have the early 2010 MBP? If so, you are still under the 1 year warranty, and if there is a hardware problem, it should be covered. Be sure to report your problem to Apple and get a case number before your warranty runs out so that if you do have hardware issues, they can be fixed under warranty. If you do not already have 3 year Applecare, consider getting it while you still can.
    Good luck!

  • Java pms - playstation media server not starting correctly/at all

    dont' know if it's the right forum, but i guess since it's a multimedia application, i thought i go best here.
    i just downloaded and installed the playstation media server from the AUR and installation went fine and all deps are installed.
    then i wanted to start that thing, but it didn't quite work like i expectet. i started it from dmenu and it popped up a window without anyting in it. so tried to start it from the console to see the output. so here it is:

    and here is a link to the output and the window
    as you can see, you can see nothing. i tried to mess around with folder/file permissions in opt/pms like it was suggested in the comments from the aur page - didn't change anything.
    so i tried the tar.gz from the official webpage - but with the same result.
    the problem in the console output, pms not being able to bind on port, isn't even the first problem, since i can't change the port without a GUI. so i wonder how to bring it up correctly.
    i'm using arch x32 with kernel 2.6.32 and currently openjdk6 1.6.2-1
    could it be some problem with the java vm or some wrong versioning? or am i missing some other things? if anyone could come up with help and/or solution, i'd be very happy ^^;

    Although it is somewhat off-topic, I have exactly the same question.
    I asked for mencoder or ffmpeg settings in the doom9-forum and the lead x264-dev just pointed me towards pms. So I guess I'll be trying pms out (although I'm quite satisfied with mediatomb-svn, except for the HD-stuff...

  • X11 not starting correctly.

    Hi all! After putting arch on my netbook and my desktop, I've now decided to put it on my media centre pc too!
    When I try to start X i get no display (no signal). The console shows me the following issues. I'm not sure if these are what are preventing me from starting x, or if its a seperate issue.

    Hi guys. I tried MadCat's advise of the vesa driver, and it works! I can now run gnome and everything.. kb and mouse work too. However I would really like to run the nvidia driver. Not sure why it's not working. =[
    Hal is indeed running (which i understand invokes dbus if it cant find it?) If i try to start dbus manually, and then hal, i cannot start hal - it fails. Starting only Hal works fine.

  • Launchd daemon not starting correctly on launch

    Hi All,
    I have a script that I like to have run anytime my wireless network changes.  The script needs to be run under sudo, so I created a daemon inside of /Library/LaunchDaemons .
    My plist file looks like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
              <key>Disabled</key>
                   <false/>
              <key>Label</key>
                   <string>my.plist.name</string>
              <key>ProgramArguments</key>
                   <array>
                                  <string>/path/to/script/to/run.sh</string>
                   </array>
              <key>WatchPaths</key>
                   <array>
                                  <string>/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.pr eferences.plist</string>
                   </array>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    So here's where the oddness starts happening.  When I start up my computer, launchctl tells me that this daemon is loaded.  (I run sudo launchctl list and it's there).  However, the script does not run when it should.
    However, if I manually unload and then load the plist using the launchctl command then everything works completely fine.
    So the question is, why does it work when I load it manually, but not work when the system loads it on startup?
    Thanks,
    Q

    No suspicious message in the console.  When I sudo launchctl list it shows up with a 0 in the second field.
    The only thing I can find in doing some google-ing is this:
    https://managingosx.wordpress.com/2006/05/10/launchd-gotcha/
    Which seems to imply that a launch daemon that is watching a file will fail to work if that file doesn't exist at all times.  However, I would think that /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist should always exist.  So I'm still perplexed.
    Right now I have a seomwhat convoluted system set up as the following:
    My launch daemon (that needs to run as root) is set to watch a folder ~/random/
    Then I have a launch agent which successfully watches for changes in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist and when it sees them touches a file in ~/random/.
    The launch daemon then deletes that file and successfully runs the script I want it to run.
    It seems weird/odd/annoying to have to set up a this double-headed process just to do something simple like this, so I'm open to suggestions as to what is going on.
