[Solved] dhcpcd times out, fails

i686
kernel 3.6.6-1
dhcpcd 5.6.2
desktop xfce
My ethernet card is a Rhine II VT6102 rev 74 and the driver is via_rhine.
Today I installed xscreensaver and immediately lost my network connection. So far I have tried the following without success:
killed xscreensaver and removed the package
reboot
found eth0 state was UNKNOWN rather than UP
tried several versions of ip link... without any change
unplugged the network cable for a few seconds; now eth0 state is UP
restarted dhcpcd@eth0
stopped dhcpcd@eth0 and tried just dhcpcd eth0
disable dhcpcd@eth0 and enable dhcpcd
reload the driver using modprobe
Sorry for the lack of log/error msg output but I have no way to get the data off the computer except copy by hand and then manually enter it here. Journalctl and the error msgs are all similar however:
eth0: sending IPv6 router solicitation
rebinding lease of 192.168.1.22
sending IPv6 router solicitation
broadcasting for a lease
sending IPv6 router solicitation
sending IPv6 router solicitation
no IPv6 routers available
timed out
Failed to start dhcpcd on eth0
Unit [email protected] entered failed state
What should I try next? Thanks for any help.

Sporadic issues with wireless connection (dhcpcd times out)

I'm using a wireless usb adaptor Dlink DWA 110 (chipset rt73). It can connect fine some times, but many times it times out on dhcpcd. Raising the time out time causes it to hold indefinitely on the message "offered 192.168.0.132 from 192.168.0.1". Analyzing the dmesg, I see

I've tried googling, but no suggestion seems to work. Any help?

This is basically a workaround, but still. You can try hold_connect script to automatically watch connection status. It can be found here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103139. Just add "iwconfig wlan0 power off" string in function connect under "sudo netcfg down ..." line.

[solved] dhcpcd: timed out after reinstalling arch

Hi erveryone!
After reinstalling arch I can't connect to my wireless network anymore.
Typed:
wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant_vienna.conf
dhcpcd wlan0
Got:
dhcpcd: wlan0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd: timed out
wpa_supplicant_vienna.conf (ssid and psk deleted):
network={
ssid=""
proto=RSN
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk=
I reinstalled arch on my netbook at the same time and there's everything working fine (even with the same wireless-card). The only difference between the two systems is that my laptop has an i686 installation while on my netbook I've installed x86_64.
Things I've tried:
+ Update the system via wired-connection (mirrors.kernel.org) --> the download never gets faster than 10KB/s (?).
+ Configure the wireless interface via netcfg --> same problem
+ Reinstalled again and only changed LOCALE in /etc/rc.conf --> same problem
So you may see, I have no idea what I could be doing wrong and hope that theres anybody out there who knows what to do!
P.S. Well, i have now by-passed my problem.
1.) Created a list of packages installed during system-update on my netbook.
2.) In this list I changed package-name-x86_64.tar.gz to package-name-i686.tar.gz
3.) Downloaded the list with wget.
4.) Ccopied the packages to my laptop
5.) Created a local repository and made a system-update.

Hi trusktr
This might seem stupid but are you sure you are using "eth0" and not "eth1" etc.? As an example I have two on-board lans and I'm plugged into eth1. I had to change rc.conf as it defaults to using eth0.
#Static IP example
#eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth1)
Since I am using eth1 and not eth0 here is what I get when I try:
ifconfig eth0:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:4B:00:88:0E
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:23 Base address:0x6000
Look familiar?
I'm not saying this is the case but it could be something as simple as that.
ifconfig -a
should show you how many lans you have.
Thought I would drop the obvious first in case that's all it is.

Time out fail over

On this system:
OS: Solaris 10 11/06 s10s_u3wos_10 SPARC
Cluster version: 3.1u4
A- Normally after how much time resource is moved to the other node if ipmp fails (e.g. gateway is unreacheable) ?
B- What happens if ipmp fails in both server ? packages are kept on their nodes ?
C- Does it exist timeout over 10 minutes in cluster configuration ?

u have 2 options - u could increase the back end time out to a very large value so that server can wait rather than timing out rather than failing over or to do some thing like
<Object name=�default�>
NameTrans fn=map from=/ name=reverse-proxy-/
</Object>
<Object name=�reverse-proxy-/�>
Route fn=set-origin-server server=server1
ObjectType fn=http-client-config timeout=600
</Object>
see - http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4841/gdhrg?a=view
( or simply disable any fail over but have different individual servers distributing load across different application)
split your uri or application so that each application goes to 1 back end server. for example, let us say - u have 2 java applications that u would like jboss to do the job for you, u could do some thing like
now, u could edit your obj.conf or (<vs>-obj.conf) depending on your configuration so that it looks like this
<Object name=�default�>
NameTrans fn=map from=/ name=reverse-proxy-/
</Object>
<Object name=�reverse-proxy-/�>
<If $uri =~ /foo1>
Route fn=set-origin-server server=<ŝerver1>
</If>
<If $uri =~ /foo2>
Route fn=set-origin-server server=<ŝerver2>
</If>
</Object>
btw - i will file a RFE on your behalf for this feature.

Speedport time out fail wireless

I am connected to ethernet port, no problem.
AirPort fails to connect. Now Windows with two local machines connect ok. My previous Dell connected.
My AirPort works at home, a Bell Modem.
SpeedPort W 700 V seems to have some issues for Win.
The SpeedPort does not reply giving time out same as incorrect password.
I tried a manual connect with full name from my AirPort detection script.
Also problem with iTouch, but it failed to reconnect at home after upgrade to new software.

SpeedPort W 700 V is both wireless and wired. I am connected to wired now.
When disconnected, the wireless shows on AirPort and asks for password. Entering password gives a time out. I tried a manual connection with network name WLAN-4A7D03 selected security type and entered password. Again a time out. The SpeedPort fails to handshake on receiving the password. That is, I do not think the password accepted reply is connecting. My AirPort works on other wireless connection in Canada. I am in Germany and the SpeedPort modem is a few years old, but I had no trouble with my new Dell windows Vista last year.
This could be a SpeedPort issue. I know the SpeedPort wireless is working because two Windows computers are connected to the wireless. I did find reports of some Windows machines having difficulty connecting to SpeedPort but no comment on Apple problems.
By the way thank you for answering. I will be traveling in Italy where most hotels only have wireless connections. So I am trying to isolate problem to SpeedPort. If it is my use of AirPort then I have a problem. If necessary I could buy a USB port wireless.
I do know update of my iTouch has crashed its wireless connection. I tried reset to orignial but it then automatically upgrades and I am back where I started.
These are my first Apple products so I may be missing something. The more I use the Apple Interface the more I like it.

[SOLVED] dhcpcd: timed out

I want to install Arch using wifi. I'm trying to connect to my WPA network before I even begin.
I did this (with my own network and passphrase in place)
wpa_passphrase mywireless "secretpassphrase"
wpa_passphrase mywireless "secretpassphrase" > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ifconfig wlan0 up
wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhcpcd wlan0
And got:
dhcpcd: version 5.2.2 starting
dhcpcd: wlan0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd: timed out
What's wrong?
EDIT: Long story. Wrong key

Before starting dhcpd, make sure you are connected - run wpa_supplicant without the -B switch to check for errors.

[SOLVED] pacman times out

Hi, I'm new to arch, but have used ubuntu for a while now.
New installation, and when I run pacman -Syu, it says the following

error: failed to synchronise code: Connection timed out
Also, I think my network is set up correctly as I can ping google.com
I am using a wired connection with dhcp.
Do I need to edit the resolv.conf, and the hosts files, I am not sure what needs to go in these files.
I installed from the 2008.06 core i686 iso.

Thanks again for all your help Xyne,
I am trying the install from within Ubuntu, and it isn't looking good.
I needed to follow http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … ting_Linux instead of the link you posted because of pacman.static being removed or something.
Anyway, it is still timing out
I don't know what to do, I don't think it can me my connection, as it seems to be working well for everything else.
Also, I read this in the wiki guide, and was curious, I'm not using x86_64.
You may want to manually resolve DNS in the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, because pacman-static for i686 may not be able to get address information on x86_64 systems.

[solved] SPDIF times out

Hi,
I've connected my PC to a receiver using spdif / iec958 / toslink, which works fine. Except after a few seconds of silence the entire link is powered down which produces an irritating popping sound. Also, there is a small delay before I can hear the output because it has to power on again.
/sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save is already 0 and /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save_controller = N.
Does anybody have any ideas?
My current workaround is continuously playing silence in the background, but for some mysterious reason that causes pulseaudio to use 5% cpu.

Yes, I already tried that, but it didn't work.
edit:
Alright, I solved it by editing /etc/pulse/default.pa and commenting out the line
load-module module-suspend-on-idle

[solved] systemd times out waiting for dev-null.device on encrypted fs

I have a relatively new install of Arch on my laptop. The relevant sections of the drive setup are a luks encrypted root device (with associated unencrypted /boot), and a large ntfs device encrypted with truecrypt. That contains my home directory, which is shared with the Windows 8 dual-boot on the machine.
I have all this mounted on boot, so my typical usage is to enter my password for the encrypted root, followed by the password for the truecrypt-encrypted data drive, then normal login.
This has been working fine for a couple of weeks. This afternoon I rebooted my machine from Windows to Linux, at which point the secondary encrypted drive failed to mount. The root device mounts fine.
On further examination, in the form of journalctl -xb, I'm getting the following errors after mounting the encrypted root device:
Feb 12 21:29:54 kafka systemd[1]: Job dev-null.device/start timed out.
Feb 12 21:29:54 kafka systemd[1]: Timed out waiting for device dev-null.device.

-- Documentation: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Softwar … e9d022f03d
-- Unit [email protected] has failed.
As my root home directory is on the root filesystem, I can still log in as root. If I try to mount or unmount the truecrypt device (located at /data) the command hangs. After removing "auto,x-systemd.automount" from that device from /etc/fstab and rebooting, I have a significant delay at boot, but I can then mount the /data device as normal.
I can't find anything related to this either here or on Google. Any ideas?

Thanks for the warning. Sadly, as there are applications I need for work that only run in Windows, I need to dual boot this machine with Windows 8.1. This is the best option I can find for sharing my home directory, which is also a necessity due to the amount of data I have to share between the systems. I would much rather trust to ntfs-3g-ar and its UserMapping (and all the fiddling with ACLs that I had to do) than to the Windows ext2 drivers I can find. They all seem to be several years out of date. Linux is much better at talking NTFS than Windows is at talking EXT. (To be honest, I'm actually quite impressed with Windows 8 since the upgrade to 8.1. As a long term Arch user and a fan of tiling window managers it's interesting to see Windows moving in the right direction. )
With 'permissions' in the /etc/fstab and the .NTFS-3G/UserMapping file in place it works almost seamlessly. (It took a lot of tinkering with ACLs in Windows and Linux, but it's working very well now. One tip that I'll write here in case it's of use is that you want the last line of the UserMapping file to be a 'generic' mapping. When I didn't have that there were very strange things going on.)
The only two minor problems I have now are:
1) A few applications don't like FUSE filesystems. Steam worked for a while and then broke; reinstalling it failed at every stage. When I checked, it seems that FUSE is a known problem for Steam. (I don't think it's restricted to NTFS.) My response to that was to create /home/.local/$HOME on my root (ext4) filesystem and symlink out to it for troublesome applications.
2) There are a few characters for filenames that Windows doesn't like, making those files inaccessible in Windows. (Colons are the major culprit.) They're usually quite easily renamed. (The exception being my .maildir folder, which I have had to duplicate natively in cygwin.)
Neither of these are anything more than minor niggles. I appreciate the warning, though.
Having said that, if you have an alternative that lets me share a truecrypt-encrypted drive between Linux and Windows that is better than the NTFS-3G approach, I'd love to hear it for future reference.

[SOLVED] systemd times out stopping transmission.service

After a recent update, systemd takes really long to shut transmission down either manually or while the computer is turning off.
Both systemd and transmission were update at the same time so I don't know which one has caused this issue.
I'm pretty sure it is systemd because starting and killing transmission-daemon manually works as usual.
I suffer from this problem on two of my machines, one of which runs a fresh install (today).
Any workarounds?

This must be it. There's a patch to fix the issue.

Time out problem in BPS

BPS friends,
We have a planning function to copy Versions based with some filters. The copy function takes 5 hours and times out after that. The function is reaching max buffer size as recommended by SAP so we cant increase the buffer size anymore.
We are on BW-BPS 3.5.
How can I solve this time out problem? Please respond to me.

Hi Pat,
How many record did you copy ??
Could you restrict the copy in not 1 package ??
Package per package ...
I suggest you ..
e.g. you have restriction by a 0CALMONTH / something ..
Then,
You can copy e.g. for January to March, then March to August, etc.
You can automate it by planning sequence.
Hopefully it can help you a lot.
Regards,
Niel.
thanks for the points you choose to assign.

USB Mass storage device CHAOS test time out.

The test item keep running WDTF_SIMPLE_IO test until test timeout.
Could anyone tell me the root cause and how to fix it?
Thanks.

It could be because of the mini's disk problem. Have you dropped it or shaken it recently?
Try restoring your iPod mini via iTunes 7 (download the latest, 7.0.2). If it doesn't work, and if it still under warrantry, try replacing your device.

IPad2 slideshow in Picture Frame times out

I want my iPad to act as a conitnuous Picture Frame when I'm not using it. However it times out and goes to the black screen while playing the slideshow. Is the only way to keep the slideshow playing continuosly by setting Auto-Lock to Never? (Settings/General/Auto-Lock/Never)
My preference is not to set Auto-Lock to Never....but if that is the only way to continuosly run the Picture Frame slideshow then that's what I'll do.

KP....Thanks for the reply. I was able to solve the time-out issue via the prior posts. What wasn't solved though is whether or not the slideshow can be configured to continuously run rather than stopping on the last picture. I have 378 photos and once the Picture Frame app has displayed all 378 photos it stops on the last photo (it essentially freezes on the last photo).
For example....I have a Pandidgital photo album in another room that continously cycles through all of the photos that are stored on it, never stopping the cycle. I would like to configure Picture Frame to continuosly cycle through all of the pictures and not stop (freeze) on the last photo.
Any ideas? Thank you. Stu
