Network daemon hangs

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?

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

[SOLVED] Network daemon starting slowly

Hello guys,
It seems like the network daemon is starting rather slowly (maybe due to the fact that it has to obtain an ip address via dhcp). If I could get it to start faster, my system would boot up in under 10 seconds Is it safe to launch the network daemon in the background? If no, is there any way to speed it up?
Thanks for the help.

Maybe try Backgrounding it by adding a @ in front of it within /etc/rc.conf.
Yes it's generally safe to background it in most cases unless you have a good reason not to do so.

Automounting smb share without network daemon

Hello everyone, I have an issue. I'm using networkmanager to manage wireless connections. While installing networkmanger, the wiki told you must remove network daemon from rc.conf, and use networkmanager instead: that's exactly what I did, and networkmanager does the job just well. I told you that because I think that it is the reason why i'm failing to auto mount smb share through editing fstab. If i put in fstab the command described on the wiki (cisf mounting) I get a FAIL at booting, it says it can't find the share. Otherwise am I wrong and the reason must be related to something else, like syntax errors? Thank you.

Trying to follow your advice, I did the following: I put into /etc/fstab
//server/Videos$ /mnt/video cifs noauto,noatime,username=Y3KNET/Arch,password=Ilove69,ip=192.168.1.1 0 0
//server/Public$ /mnt/public cifs noauto,noatime,username=Y3KNET/Arch,password=Ilove69,ip=192.168.1.1 0 0
then, in /etc/rc.local:
mount /mnt/video
mount /mnt/public
and, as a second try,
sudo mount /mnt/video
sudo mount /mnt/public
but without luck: no mount actually takes place. Anyway, if i type the above code after logon into kde, everything works flawlessly. Where am I mistaken?

Boot time confusion involving wireless (BCRM4313) and network daemon

The platform in question of course my Asus eeepc 1015PEM and the issue isn't likely to be coursed by me making a mistake, though I may have misinterpreted what the stock network daemon is all about.
During boot I get this message:
:: Starting network
[ 5.616800] ieee8011 phy0: brcms_ops_bss_info_changed: qos enabled: false (implement)
[ 5.620882] ieee8011 phy0: brcms_ops_config: change power-save mode: false (implement)
All I know is that it has something to do with my wireless, as it goes away when I disable it in BIOS, and that I haven't had this issue with previous arch installation, only with the latest release and possibly with the one just before that, which I didn't mess around with.
As far as I know the stock network daemon can't handle wireless devices, so it does confuse me a bit.
Apart from that, the wireless seem to work as it used to, but I can't confirm it as I haven't had a chance to test it.
Also this is a more or less clean install and I've done very little to begin setting up the wireless.
Well, all that doesn't matter anyway, I'd simply like to know what those two lines mean and how to get rid of them.
Best regards.

They won't disappear by changing the network daemon, as they're printed when the brcmsmac driver loads. Which is done by udev. That the messages appear right after the network daemon loads is pure coincidence. I don't think the messages indicate a problem, it's just the brcmsmac driver being a bit too chatty. Try adding loglevel=3 to the kernel line in the grub config (or the append line if you use syslinux or lilo).

Make Network Daemon Wait Until Network is Ready?

I run an Arch64 server which is behind a router. I am also away from home a lot. If the power goes out I worry that there is a chance the server will boot up and the network daemon will give up before the router has booted back up, and then I will be unable to access my machine remotely until I can get home and reboot it manually. Does anyone know of a way to make the network daemon, upon starting up, wait for the network to become available no matter how long it takes? I guess I'm looking for a way to disable the network daemon's timeout period. Thanks in advance!
Last edited by tony5429 (2010-05-20 02:47:59)

Hrm.. maybe I didn't explain myself well enough. The machine is not using DHCP. Instead it tries to take the static IP 192.168.1.100 on the LAN, for which ports 80 and 22 are forwarded through the router so I can access it remotely. My concern is this: Whenever I turn on the machine with the router turned off, when Arch Linux gets to starting up the network daemon it will time out. So I worry that if the power goes out on both the router and the server and the power returns, if the Linux box tries to connect to the network before the network is ready, it could give up too fast and then I would not be able to access it remotely when the router actually did boot back up. So I'm just looking for a way to disable the network daemon's timeout option so that it tries forever until the network is available, regardless of how long that takes. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for the help!

/usr/sbin/PasswordService: SSH daemon hangs; No more terminal windows

Hi ! I'm using OS X server 10.4.6
it's the second time I see this behaviour.
A while ago I coun't connect to my server via ssh and I kept getting a
"/usr/sbin/PasswordService: Client response doesn't match what we generated". I introduced the password but the client seemed to hang after I type it.
Also I've noticed that for some reason I couln't open more terminals.
I always got [Process Completed].
I rebooted the server and everything seems ok, except the fact that when
I type "w" on a terminal, I get 29 admin entries on tty's:
p1 -> p9
pa -> pf
q0 -> q9
qa -> qf
I don't have a clue about what happened here but at least I can open more terminals, and ssh connections are ok.
Can anyone help me with is ?
Thanks !
David

This has brought up a point of interest regarding the Wiki and how it can accommodate these kinds of tutorials and guides.
Much like the "commonly used applications", would it be wise to create a page simply linking to these Guides/How-To's?
So essentially you've got a "Guide" section, with categories, e.g.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Guides_and_Tutorials
GUIDES
***NOTE: These guides can become outdated rapidly, use at your peril.****
> Installation
* Setting up GPT tables with LVM and GRUB2
> Networking
* Setting up Port Knocking with the SSH Daemon and IPTables
* MAC Address Spoofing
* IPv6 - Tunnel Broker Setup
> Wine
* Installing Office 2007 (Out of Date)
> Misc
* iproute2 vs ifconfig commands and reference guide
etc
Essentially so it can act as a central source for all these guides (as personally I haven't come across them unless deliberately looking) (edit: In fact, I still can't find that iproute2 vs ifconfig reference guide)

Network variables hang subvi

I have a GUI with several subvis.
I am using an LV project (LV 8.2).
One of the subvis is used to construct a GPS string and hand it over to a RT (cFP-2120) deployed serial write vi using network variables.
If I run the subvi standalone from the project with the RT deployed vi all works perfectly.
If I open the GUI from the project, it also opens the GPS subvi now.
When I run the GUI it apparently tries to run the subvi and the subvi's front becomes a blank white window with only the subvi title bar showing.
It hangs in this postion and never gets any further.
Before I implemented the network variables for the serial write, the subvi did not open on GUI launch.
Further, the two are designed such that pressing a button on the GUI would open up the subvi as a dialog. Once the stop button on the subvi is clicked it would close down. This is how it used to work before I implemented the network variables. Now the GUI won't even run.

I don't get anything when running in highlight modem, just a blank white window.
I let the original run last night while I went home. It finally had come up and was running this morning.
After days of working with bindings, etc I finally started hacking off sections of my main VI today. It eventually started working.
I apparently have too much baggage or a conflict on the main vi structure.
I'm dealing with nearly 40 indicators/controls used to monitor or modify simulation values for an avionics simulator.
Clearly I'm not being effecient in memory management.
I do have multiple while loops monitoring and sending data.

WiFi PC connection: network configuration hangs

I have a new Z3C (UK) and I am trying to sync it with a Windows 7 x64 PC for WiFi access. The drivers are installed and "Xperia Z3 Compact" appears in "Computer". If I right-click and choose "Network Configuration" as per the instructions, a dialog appears asking my if I want to start the pairing process. I click OK and the wizard hangs. I have to unplug the device in order for the dialog to come back to life and tell me it cannot pair my device. Both devices are connected to the same WiFi network and the phone is in MTP mode. I have tried two Windows 7 x64 PCs now and the result is the same: I cannot get this to work.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have installed PC Companion but see no options for WiFi pairing.
Help...!

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
I suggest that you download our program PC Companion:

Plz: Replication 9i Job Network Problem Hang

Hi ,This problem is posted on this forum by other users
but all of them remained unresponsed!
I hope somebody will help me now:
I have a hang problem in 9i
We are using bidirectional Replication (Materialized View Replication)
and when mview refresh group is being refreshed if there happens a network problem( on the VPN) then our refresh job seems to hang, it will never end (once we waited a week but nothing happened) and the materialized views remain locked
the session won't be killed at all, the only way for us is to restart the database,
I hope there is a better way or some settings to prevent this.
somebody help me please

Personally, I've never seen this behavior. If other reports of the same problem in the forum haven't been answered, it's likely because none of the folks that answer questions here have seen this behavior elsewhere.
Have you logged a TAR in Metalink? It certainly sounds like a bug. Have you tried upgrading to the latest patchset?

Connecting MB Pro w/OS 10.8.4 to other network computers hangs

I have updated my 2011 MB Pro to OS 10.8.4. I have an Airport Extreme network with 3 other desktop Macs connected - a Mac Pro, a G5, and an older iMac all runing a combination of Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion, but not the latest OS 10.8.4 update.
I can connect and share files from those older OS Mac desktops with each other and to the MB Pro. Trying to connect from the MB Pro to either desktop Mac hangs. In a nutshell - to the MB Pro is fine, from the MD Pro hangs. An icon for the selescted volume does appear on the MB Pro's desktop when try to access one of the desktops but the connection window stays open and I get the dreaded beach ball. Only answer is to shutdown the MB Pro, restart, and do the file sharing from the desktops to the MB Pro. That direction works okay.
I suspect there is something in the latest OS update that is causing the networking problem. Is there a fix? I could update the desltop Macs to OS 10.8.4 but am afraid I'll have no netwroking capability at that point. So, just checking to see if there is a known networking issue with OS 10.8.4, or perhaps a workaround.
Thanks Much!

Are you doing this via screen sharing?
On the MacBook Pro
Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application uninstaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Opening a .mov file on a Mac across a Windows network causes hang

QuickTime player hangs when I try to open a .mov file on a networked Mac OSX machine from my Windows XP machine. This happens 80-90% of the time; that is, not every time, but most of the time.
I've tried this from 2-3 different machines, and get the same result.
Interesting thing is that, if I'm viewing the directory that the .mov file comes from in Windows Explorer, Windows Explorer also hangs - so it looks like something bad in going on in the Windows networking layer.
File opens fine when I open it locally or on another Windows machine on the network.
We're actually accessing the QT SDK from an app we're developing. We first noticed this behavior in our app, and decided to see if we could repro the problem in QT player. Sure enough, we could.
Is there somewhere else I can log this message so that it will come to the attention of the SDK group? This a major problem for our app that I need to resolve one way or another.

A MOV. file can be anything.
I would suggest you download and install Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.

Network daemon is slow to start and netfs fails, why?

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond sshd alsa)
If I have a network filesystem that needs the network (duh) to initialize
during netfs, it will fail. Why? Because network is taking a while
to actually create the network, and it is doing it asychronously. What I mean is that
the network script completes and the boot process then continues to netfs, but
in actual fact, the network isn't up yet!
If I put code in the network script to make it wait for a few seconds before completing,
in order to allow the actual network to come up, I can get the network to come up
and be ready before netfs runs. And netfs then runs fine and starts it's file systems.
But, why is networking taking so long (like 6 seconds) to start, and why
doesn't it block during the init process, so dependancies will be assured
to have it when they run?
I'm somewhat new to ARCH. Came from Gentoo, don't remember this being an
issue over there.

It's wired, and static IP.
However, I forgot to mention that I'm bringing up a bridged interface.
BRIDGE_INTERFACES=(br0)
bridge_br0=(eth0)
br0="br0 192.168.0.40 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
eth0="eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc"
INTERFACES=(lo br0 eth0)
Perhaps herein is the problem.....

Unavailable mapped network drive hangs file explorer

I am using Windows 8.1 Pro (x64) and I have this problem from beginning.
I have mapped two network drives, one is my home NAS and second is shared network storage in our office.
When I open some application which is loading directories (XnView for example) in my computer OR I want open some file in any application
OR, especially, I want to save some new document by "Save as" button (in Notepad, MS Word for example), application hangs for about 30 seconds and I can not work with it. Other applications are working fine during this freeze.
The problem occurs when I am at home and the network storage in office is not available (or I am in the office and home NAS is not available of course), but Windows
doesn't show unavailable drive as disconnected.
When I connect my computer to the office VPN (and both network storages are available) OR I unmap unavailable network drive, everything works perfectly... but it is really not comfortable.
I have tried stop Indexing and disable Windows Defender as I read on some forums but without any solution.
Any hints how to solve this issue?

This isn't one I've seen personally, and I can really test whether this would work, however...
On each of your network drives, try selecting something (doesn't matter what, but probably something small is better), right clicking on the folder and selecting "Always available offline" so your machine maintains a local copy of that information.
My logic being, by doing that on both network drives, each of them contains some information which is available regardless of the resource itself being visible. In this situation Windows will continue to show those network drives as available and accessible,
even if you're no longer connected to either network. Since those folders are available the network drives will also be available, and if you're no connected to the resource itself, Windows will still see that drive as connected, will still be able to list
it, and the apps you're seeing this issue with should no longer have any problems (provided they're not trying to access information on one of those drives that isn't available obviously!).

Network Service hanging on boot

I use Arch on my laptop, and that often means I am using it where there is no network available. I find it terribly annoying when booting up my computer that the system hangs for about 20 seconds on "Configuring Network Interface".
My research revealed that there is a timeout somewhere in the network configuration that can be set so that the system won't stall so long looking for a non-existent network.
I searched the forums, wiki and google for a solution to this problem but the first two came up empty and the google results were confusing.
If anyone can point me to the configuration file I need to look at it would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome! Works great, and probably a better solution anyway

Word 2010 32bit connecting to network printer hangs

User has issues when trying to print from Word or Excel 2010 32bit. In word once the user clicks print, there is a drop down menu to select a printer. When the user selects the network printer (a Ricoh MP C6501), underneath the printer drop down it says
"connecting to printer". Word will hang and then show up as "not responding".
Notes: There is another network printer (HP Printer) and a local HP Printer setup along with the ususal Fax, Microsoft XPS Document Writer, OneNote 2010. The default printer is the local HP Printer. When selecting the other network printer printer (HP Printer)
there is no hang or lag. From research I have found that it could be that the driver resides on the Print Server which is why it was taking so long to connect. So I directly connected to the printer by IP address bypassing the Print Server with an updated
32bit driver and it still comes up with the same results.
PC Info - Lenovo T410 running Windows 7 32bit and Office 2010 Professional 32bit.
Our other users who are running the same setup but with Windows 7 64bit and Office 2010 Standard does not have the same hang up. If there is any other information that I am missing, please ask me.
I have also tried a couple of other possible solutions, like disk clean and repairing Office to no success.
Any assistance would greatly be appreciated.
