[Solved]no automatic dhcp

[wsteven]

Hello again,

I did set dhcp through the wizard, but it won't acquire any ip on boot. I have to run dhcpd manually.
Any ideas? Thanks

"I have to run dhcpd manually."
did you boot kiosk to text mode and ran dhcpcd from cli? if yes and if it worked then i would suggest you to try again with the wizard as i have booted kiosk over 1000+ times with dhcpcd enabled and everything was ok.

[wsteven]

well, I must do something wrong I guess, I'll check again and let you know

[wsteven]

Well, here is what I did :
_ re-run wizard, activate dhcp on eth0
_ modified inittab and 10-xorg.conf (for tty access), prefs.js to include my proxy and changed wallpaper.
_ make-iso.sh (which I have to modify to use genisoimage as the script is pointing to an nonexisting mkisofs)
_ boot : same problem, no ip set.
_ if I run /etc/rc.d/rc.d/rc4.d/S-pns manually I get an IP. Same thing with /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 .

Hard to debug as most of logging is off. Can you imagine any reason why these scripts aren't started? Where can I check if they are called?

Thanks,
Steven

i guess you have set runlevel 1 as default in /etc/inittab.
in Slackware we use runlevel 3 for text mode and 4 for GUI so please change it to 3.

[wsteven]

Code: Select all

id:4:initdefault:
x1:4:respawn:/etc/rc.d/rc.4

[fanthom]

should be ok so,
please upload your ISO and i'll check what's wrong with it.

Thanks in advance for your time here it is : http://dl.free.fr/jEsEepzCf
(just wait download starts automatically)
This is the version with the new kernel!

EDIT :
root pass is root... just in case

[fanthom]

your ISO works ok - searching through duckduckgo works. the only problem is a homepage which seems to be incorrect and giving 'server not found'.
perhaps that's what has confused you?

[wsteven]

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# cat /etc/rc.d/rc.local
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 start
sleep 5s
mkdir /dev/pts
mount -o mode=0620,gid=5 -nt devpts devpts /dev/pts
/etc/rc.d/rc.sshd start

This works, dunno why, but if network script is not called again through rootcopy/ then I won't get an IP.
Anyway, this is solved for me
