Description David GEIGER 2012-04-01 20:31:44 CEST
Tested on Mageia 2 beta 2 for x86_64.

I have a problem with the Ethernet configuration:

When I configure a new Ethernet connection and I choose "Manual Setup" to assign a fixed IP to my Laptop , I have a very very slow connection, almost impossible to use.

So if I select "Automatic assignment of IP address (BOOTP / DHCP)", there is good, no problems, and the connection speed is really correct.


To reproducte :

->> CCM
->> Network & Internet
->> Set Up a new network interface (LAN,ISDN,ADSL,...)
->> Wired (Ethernet)
->> eth0 : nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller
->> Manual configuration
->> IP adress : 192.168.1.119
    Netmask : 255.255.255.0
    Gateway : 192.168.1.1
    DNS server 1: 192.168.1.1
    DNS server 2: 192.168.1.2
    Host name : david.david
->> Allow users to manage the connection
    Start the connection at boot
    Enable traffic accounting

On Mageia release 1 (Official) for x86_64 (and also Mandriva) with the same configuration there is no problem, the connection speed is correct and timely.

----------------------------------------------------

Yet another problem (yet never seen on Mageia 1):

In the configuration described above, if I chose the option "Allow Interface To Be controlled by Network Manager"and indeed the ethernet connection does not work at all.

and if you use ifconfig I guess it works ?

can you paste the output of lspcidrake -v ? (maybe we can found something somewhere)

Comment 4 Dave Hodgins 2012-04-03 00:32:36 CEST
When adding the output of a command to a bug report, where the output
is more than approx. 10 lines, please put the output into a file,
and then add that file as a plain/text attachment to make it easier
to read.

Any chance you have another system connected to the router that is
also assigned to 192.168.1.119 causing an ip address conflict?

CC: (none) => davidwhodgins

Comment 5 David GEIGER 2012-04-03 20:52:59 CEST
Oh sorry Dave for the output ,

No I have not conflict with IP address 192.168.1.119 because it only on the router
I tried with 192.168.1.35 or 192.168.1.72 or 192.168.1.98 and always the same result.

When I use Windows Vista the IP address is 192.168.1.119 = no problem and same config
When I use Mageia 1 the IP adress is 192.168.1.119 = no problem and same config
Just on Mageia 2 is this problem.
Comment 6 Dave Hodgins 2012-04-03 22:27:25 CEST
What are the contents of /etc/resolv.conf, with both setups?

Also, what type of system is assigned 192.168.1.2?

Just trying to look at things that are affected by the ip address
change, which is the only real difference here.
Comment 7 David GEIGER 2012-04-03 23:27:56 CEST

> What are the contents of /etc/resolv.conf, with both setups?

With "Automatic assignment of IP address (BOOTP / DHCP)": IP 192.168.1.13

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 192.168.1.1

With "Manual Setup" : IP 192.168.1.119

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN

nameserver 192.168.1.2



> Also, what type of system is assigned 192.168.1.2?

Nothing DHCP assigns address from 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.50
Comment 8 Dave Hodgins 2012-04-04 05:24:20 CEST
If 192.168.1.2 is not running a name server, then why is it
being specified as the second dns server?

Try replacing it with 8.8.8.8, which is a google public dns server.

No I have always the same problem.

In fact, it's a bit more complicated than I thought :

I just realized that was affected only some browsers with IP 192.168.1.119 

-With Firefox browser ->> web surfing is very slow but not the speed of file download (580ko/s ,this is the maximum of my bandwidth)

-With Chromium browser ->> web surfing is Ok (fast) and the speed of file download too.(580ko/s)

-With Konversation ->> connecting to the server freenode is slow.

-With urpmi ->> it is not affected ,the speed download is good (580ko/s)

-With konqueror ->> web surfing is very slow but not the speed of file download
-------------------------------------------------------

And with "Automatic assignment of IP address (BOOTP / DHCP)": IP 192.168.1.13
 
-With Firefox ->> web surfing is good (fast) and speed of file download is good too(580ko/s)

-With Chromium browser ->> web surfing is Ok (fast) and speed of file download too.

-With Konversation ->> connecting to the server freenode is good (fast).

-With konqueror ->> web surfing is good (fast) and the speed of file download too.
-With urpmi ->> it is not affected ,the speed download is good (580ko/s)
Comment 10 Dave Hodgins 2012-04-04 18:21:48 CEST
That sounds to me like a problem with ipv6 failing.  Some browsers wait
for ipv6 dns lookups to fail, before trying ipv4.

In the configuration for eth0, select the advanced dialog and unselect
the ipv6 option.

The ipv6 option is unchecked (and always was) but the problem remains the same.


By cons I found the error on my configuration :
on my Orange Livebox 2 the primary DNS server is 216.146.35.35 and the auxiliary DNS server is 216.146.36.36 

->> Manual configuration
->> IP adress :   192.168.1.119
    Netmask :     255.255.255.0
    Gateway :     192.168.1.1
    DNS server 1: 216.146.35.35
    DNS server 2: 216.146.36.36
    Host name :   david.david


With this configuration, I have no slowdown and no problem on web browser it's Ok for me.

You can close this bug.
Comment 12 Dave Hodgins 2012-04-05 19:45:08 CEST
Ok.  Closing the bug as invalid, since it's just a dns
configuration issue.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => INVALID

Comment 13 David GEIGER 2012-05-14 22:13:05 CEST
I reopen this bug because I have new information rather interresting:

Many French users have encountered a similar problem,and we have come to the conclusion that the bug is due to the new Livebox (Orange) the Livebox 2.

I've solved the problem by replacing the DNS server but for others it does not work.

By cons, for others a solution was found:
Add the line "install ipv6 /bin/true" at the end of /etc/modprobe.conf file.

Apparently this bug was already known with Mandriva 2009.

What do you think? Is it really a problem? Is there a solution?

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life.  If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 18 Manuel Hiebel 2013-11-23 16:16:36 CET
Mageia 2 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on ''22 November''. Mageia 2 is no
longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or
bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
