 |
|
This should be a quick fix but I need help. I followed the gentoo wiki on networkmanager.
However, ntpd fails to start when I start-up gentoo. It seems to work after waking up from a hibernate-ram or if I restart the wired connection (in knetworkmanager, click on wired).
So, my guess is that the network is not ready when called by the dispatcher. I have reviewed my logs but I don't get any errors.
rc-update -s
| Code: |
NetworkManager | battery default
NetworkManagerDispa | battery default
acpid | battery default
alsasound | boot
bootmisc | boot
checkfs | boot
checkroot | boot
clock | boot
consolefont | boot
cpufreqd | battery default
cupsd | battery default
dbus | battery default
dhcdbd | battery default
hald | battery default
hostname | boot
keymaps | boot
local | battery default nonetwork
localmount | boot
modules | boot
net.lo | boot
netmount | battery default
rmnologin | boot
sshd | battery default
syslog-ng | battery default
urandom | boot
xdm | battery default
|
As you can see, net services (net.eth0) have been removed because they are handled by NetworkManager (I'm not sure what netmount does)
here is the dispatcher script I use:
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
/etc/init.d/ntpd status | grep -q "started"
if test "$2" == "up" -a "$?" != "0" ; then
#added sleep 2 minutes so the net is ready.
#the dispatcher seems to work only after weaking up after hibernate
# but on a clean boot up.
rc-config start ntpd
else
rc-config stop ntpd
fi
|
If I manually start ntpd it works.
I plan replacing the line rc-config start ntpd by
| Code: | | sleep 120 && rc-config start ntpd |
hoping to give enough time to NetworkManager to get an ip address. This looks ugly though.
Perhaps a cleaner solution would be to change the dependencies on ntpd
| Code: | /etc/init.d/ntpd
depend() {
need net
use dns logger
after ntp-client
}
checkconfig() {
if [ ! -f /etc/ntp.conf ] ; then
eerror "Please create /etc/ntp.conf"
eerror "Sample conf: /usr/share/ntp/ntp.conf"
return 1
fi
return 0
}
start() {
checkconfig || return $?
ebegin "Starting ntpd"
start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/sbin/ntpd \
--pidfile /var/run/ntpd.pid \
-- -p /var/run/ntpd.pid ${NTPD_OPTS}
eend $? "Failed to start ntpd"
}
stop() {
ebegin "Stopping ntpd"
start-stop-daemon --stop \
--pidfile /var/run/ntpd.pid \
--exec /usr/sbin/ntpd
eend $? "Failed to stop ntpd"
} |
But I've never messed up with init.d scripts... I usually change the files in conf.d/. However, I don't see anything that I could change in the ntpd.conf file that would help.
Should I change | Quote: | | need net to need NetworkManager? |
or something like that. However, I think that NetworkManager is started, but I don't have a valid ip and that's what upsets ntpd. This are all wild guesses since as I said, I haven't found any errors in my log files.
Any help is appreciated.

If you use openrc (baselayout2) you can add dependancies with out editing files in init.d/*

Please feel free to elaborate. How do I know if I'm using baselayout2?
How would I add the dependency?
