This patch addresses problem RHBZ #1133686. For some (unknown to me) reason, g_spawn_async() is not starting dhclient so that a dhcp NIC can be configured. However, simply using g_spawn_sync() works. This was the only use of g_spawn_async(). Note: There is no problem using sync instead of async since dhclient will disconnect and put itself in the background once the network is started. --- libvirt-sandbox/libvirt-sandbox-init-common.c | 6 ++---- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/libvirt-sandbox/libvirt-sandbox-init-common.c b/libvirt-sandbox/libvirt-sandbox-init-common.c index e5f8af0..49baa5c 100644 --- a/libvirt-sandbox/libvirt-sandbox-init-common.c +++ b/libvirt-sandbox/libvirt-sandbox-init-common.c @@ -113,10 +113,8 @@ static gboolean start_dhcp(const gchar *devname, GError **error) { const gchar *argv[] = { "/sbin/dhclient", "--no-pid", devname, NULL }; - if (!g_spawn_async(NULL, (gchar**)argv, NULL, - G_SPAWN_STDOUT_TO_DEV_NULL | - G_SPAWN_STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL, - NULL, NULL, NULL, error)) + if (!g_spawn_sync(NULL, (gchar**)argv, NULL, 0, + NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, error)) return FALSE; return TRUE; -- 1.9.3 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
