Steps to reproduce :
(1/Buy a serial or USB modem)
2/Configure through the "networking" method ( not "ppp" ), e.g adding those lines into /etc/network/interfaces and using the "usepeerdns" option :
auto ppp0
iface ppp0 inet ppp
provider speedtch
3/Reboot. Score : ppp0 is up, but ISP DNS are not registered in /etc/resolv.conf, so I can't even ask for help on Ubuntu forums
What happens ? The problem is located inside the rcS.d folder : S40networking uppes ppp0 and pppd backups resolv.conf and writes down the ISP DNS, but ere S55pppd-dns immediately restores the backup so the changes by pppd are cancelled.
pppd-dns seems to be designed for the obsolete ( since years ) init.d/ppp script, not for init.d/networking, am i right ? If so, shouldn't it be removed along the whole obsolete stuff, then replaced by a if-up.d script ?
Anyway this is a very serious bug and is making every non-Ethernet modems owners very unhappy ( well actually only those requiring a connection at boot ), especially users of my speedtouch-ng package :( ( a configuration helper for Speedtouch USB/330 modems : http://moigeeknevro.com/speedtouch-ng/files/1.2.4/ )
I've fixed it through modifying the boot sequence order so the pppd-dns runs before networking, i.e :
sudo update-rc.d -f pppd-dns remove
sudo update-rc.d pppd-dns start 39 S .
Is this susceptible to break something ? |
