Attachments:	patch fixing the hostname issue by initializing config earlier

Description bruno randolf 2008-03-25 04:37:55 UTC

there is a bug in networkmanager setting the hostname (from the gentoo patch networkmanager-updatedbackend.patch). it tries to add the hostname before config is initialized. the attached patch fixes the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. look at the output of NetworkManager --no-daemon and see:

NetworkManager: <debug> [1206415223.753861] GentooReadConfig(): Found hostname.
NetworkManager: nm_ip4_config_set_hostname: assertion `config != NULL' failed
... and later ...
NetworkManager: <WARN>  nm_system_set_hostname(): nm_system_set_hostname(): gethostbyaddr failed, h_errno = 1




Expected Results:  
NetworkManager: <info>  Setting hostname to 'my_hostname'


the attached patch fixes the problem.

patch fixing the hostname issue by initializing config earlier

just initialize config earlier.

Comment 2 Anielkis Herrera 2008-04-11 18:54:13 UTC

I applied your patch, but even with it... networkmanager changes my hostname
and I have the "send host-name " and "supersede host-name " with my hotname in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf

any idea?

sorry, the problem was that I cannot add the ';' at end of line
