Ebox 1.2 doesn't pull an IP address on restart
« on: July 13, 2009, 06:24:26 pm »
I would first like to say that I think the Ebox Team and its developers are doing a great job and are building a great piece of software. Can't wait for the next stable release. Well on to my problem.

I installed the new version 1.2 and everytime I restart it doesn't pull and IP address. I have tried with dhcp and I have assigned a static address as well. So, I have to manually restart the network by running /etc/init.d/networking restart in order to reach the GUI in firefox. Im guessing this is a bug? When should this issue be fixed?

i do encounter this

I am not sure if this is a bug but i do realise that networking service is not started during reboot or booting. This is the workaround you can try to perform

sudo update-rc.d -f networking remove

sudo update-rc.d networking defaults

The above command will remove and add networking services to configure it to start up during runlevel 2 - 5. Hope it helps

There was a bug in ebox-network, it has been fixed in 1.2.1. The package is already available.
