eth_up: command not found

skisoccer13 · 01-23-2006, 05:10 PM

i am having slow boot times. the system displays this (edited):

probing for pcic: edit /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia
cardmgr[1788]: no sockets found!
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1: line 1: eth_up: command not found
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1: line 2: eth_up: command not found
dhcpcd mac address = 00:e0:18:6b:89:6f

it then hangs here for a minute and proceeds with (then continues starting the hotplug stuff):

/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1: line 256: eth_up: command not found

is it the hotplug that is making it take so long to start or something with the above errors?

How did those lines get into rc.inet1 in the first place?
There's no eth_up in slackware ...

Cheers,
Tink

raska · 01-23-2006, 05:37 PM

maybe you wanted to do

Code:

ifconfig eth0 up

or something like that...

skisoccer13 · 01-23-2006, 05:53 PM

ok, it only hangs when i don't have the internet plugged in, otherwise it starts fast.

i don't know how it got in rc.inet1. i just compiled the 2.6.15.1 kernel.

Tinkster · 01-23-2006, 06:04 PM

I suppose what I was trying to say is this:

In the slackware-packages as they come of the CD there's no
reference to a command eth_up. Not in the packages, and not
in any of the network scripts. Did you edit it, or do you
have a "Linux-savvy" person trying to be helpful by modifying
scripts on your behalf?

Cheers,
Tink

skisoccer13 · 01-23-2006, 06:10 PM

i didn't edit any files by hand. i just used xconfig when compiling instead of menuconfig.

skisoccer13 · 01-23-2006, 06:16 PM

it doesn't really bother me that much. the only other problem i'm having is the system freezing up when i try to reboot or get out of x. i know it has to be related to the ati drivers that i just installed, but i can't find the post that helped fix it.

Tinkster · 01-23-2006, 06:21 PM

I'd suggest you re-install n/tcpip-0.17-i486-35 since you
don't think that you changed anything and I can assure you
that the content of your file is wrong.

Cheers,
Tink

skisoccer13 · 01-23-2006, 06:52 PM

alright, reinstall with slackpkg and it's all good now. i'll make a separate thread for that other problem.

If you are getting this on Slackware 10.2 then you have a messed-up rc.inet1 file. Slackware 10.1 and previous did have a function in rc.inet1 called "eth_up" but this function's name was changed in Slackware to "if_up" (because there is more than just ethernet cards).

I'm using Slackware 10.2 and I ran into this problem recently. Here's my rc.inet1:

There's two instances of eth_up 0, once at the very beginning of the file and once at nearly the end. I simply commented them out and my problem was gone.

Strange though. I'm guessing this file was written by Pat as his initials are up at the top, but that doesn't mean someone else didn't mess with the file before I got it in an upgrade or something.

Shrug. Who knows? Thing is, this file is floating around out there. I can't be too sure at this point where exactly I got this file...anyone know which package this file comes from? I'd like to check it to see if it came from one of Pat's packages or if it came from elsewhere. My curiosity is piqued and I want to know where I got this file if it isn't Pat's.

cwwilson721 · 01-24-2006, 06:16 PM

I just checked my rc.inet1, and there is NO eth_up command where yours is.

That is one of the many reasons why I WILL NEVER install Dropline Gnome. It messes with MANY files it has no business changing, then you get errors like the one described above.

Mine is a straight 10.2 install, no Dropline

LocoMojo · 01-24-2006, 06:43 PM

I've been wanting to uninstall Dropline for the longest time, but I've heard some horror stories about how it really screws up your system when you do that so I've been avoiding it like the plague.

I NEVER use Gnome...I prefer KDE or Fluxbox. I do need the Gnome libraries for a lot of things though. I've been wanting to uninstall Dropline then install the minimal version of FreeRock Gnome...I'm just too lazy to deal with the headaches of giving Dropline the boot.

FreeRock tells you exactly which packages to reinstall from Slackware if you should ever decide to uninstall FreeRock, but Dropline, as far as I'm aware, doesn't.

P.S. - Saw your signature...
