Other modules / Re: DHCP server broken on non-Ubuntu kernels

« on: December 18, 2016, 03:47:01 pm »

I see. Unfortunately, if Virtualisation wasn't mandatory in my home environment, I would use an old laptop (Celeron M or Pentium M/512MB RAM) which is a fine pfSense box doing its job perfectly at my client's location.

When I was over at Netgate, I know there was some discussion on this.  I am not sure if they were targeting the 2.4 release to resolve it.  I can say that their hardware is pretty high quality.

I am not sure what are you talking about.

Out of curiosity,  what is pushing you away from pfsense?

No. Arch Linux. I thought it might be AppArmor thing, so I compiled a new kernel with its full support, but that did not solve the problem.

Installation and Upgrades / List of connected fixed IP clients?

I am coming from pfSense, and there in the DHCP leases section, you can see all clients, not just those with dynamic leases. It also shows their online/offline status. This is a very useful thing when you want to see how many and what machines are running at the time, with both fixed and dynamic IP.

Can something similar be achieved on Zentyal?

I think the problem is related to the kernel. When Zentyal is run in LXD on top of non-ubuntu linux, it is using host's kernel. And it seems that for some reason Zentyal's DHCP is dependant on ubuntu-kernel specific functions.

Is there some way around it?

Here are the logs to show for it:

Other modules / DHCP server broken on non-Ubuntu kernels

« on: December 12, 2016, 12:10:44 am »

I just installed bare Ubuntu 16.04 server (lxc container) and Zentyal on top of it (like so: https://wiki.zentyal.org/wiki/Installation_Guide ) three times, and it is not possible to make its DHCP server work.

Every time I try to enable (or disable) it, I get an error message

Code: [Select]

Some modules reported error when saving changes . More information on the logs in /var/log/zentyal/

The following modules failed while saving their changes, their state is unknown: dhcp
I tried reinstalling it form GUI and from command line - to no avail.
There is nothing in /var/log/zentyal/errors.log
The file /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf remains untouched with default sparse config regardless of how much settings I add to DHCP server from web gui.

I finally did some manual editing of the file and only then clients were able to get IP addresses. But I need the GUI to manage clients so that is not a solution.

What can be done to fix it?
