ltsp's dhcpd fails after server is hibernated

indeed, i never thought that someone would hibernate a server, will be fixed in edgy.

I guess if you give someone a capability, they'll use it. I run a WinXP print server and the Ubuntu server in my house and I hibernate when I'm not using them because I don't like the fan noise. It sure beats waiting for the system to reboot. I can imagine that K12 school systems running classroom ltsp servers would hibernate them, at least overnight, to save power and reduce exposure to security exploits. Anyway, thanks for the fix.

Just a thought, since hibernation in general is fairly new - how about implementing a script to run when entering or leaving hibernate mode, kind of like .profile on login? It would allow things that might be sensitive to the interruption to shut down and start up again. It would also offer a kludge to fix this sort of problem.

Well I've often thought about hibernating servers in the evening to save on electricity.
This morning one of my users selected Hibernate from their Log Off... screen and I start getting lots of calls.
I go to the ltsp server and it's powered down.
Powering it back up worked, but I can confirm that dhcpd had to be restarted because it was not handing out IP addresses after resuming from hibernation.

Ubuntu 7.0.4 ltsp-server-standalone

Could someone try this?

Edit /etc/default/acpi-support
Change the STOP_SERVICES line from:

STOP_SERVICES="mysql "

to

STOP_SERVICES="mysql dhcp3-server "

Please note spaces are important.

Cheers,

Scott,
Changing that line to...
STOP_SERVICES="mysql dhcp3-server"

Worked!

Sorry I forgot to include the last space before the ending quote. Although maybe it was good to know that the space wasn't required.

Thanks for the Fix!

We fixed this yesterday by adding proper suspend.d and resume.d scripts for dhcp3-server package.
