It may be of interest to someone in the future that, if you buy a Dell workstation with RHEL pre-installed, these solutions don’t work. Indeed this is what I originally tried to do. The problem appears to be that Dell have installed some sort of BIOS command to overrule any changes you make to the grub cfg file, or the interfaces list. In my case the only way to effect a change was to use the network config/manager command line utility.

Fortunately, this naming scheme is optional and it’s easy to switch to the more human-friendly names by adding “net.ifnames=0” to the kernel command line (probably in some grub config file, depending on your distribution). You might also need “net.biosdevnames=0”. Googling those terms plus your distro’s name will get you some relevant pages with more details. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, Dave On Aug 18, 2020, at 04:00, James Smith <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Heystek, Unfortunately not - I have had this in the past as well IIRC, some of the more modern Linux distributions will give you something like "en0s1" or the like. Matlab is stuck in the past, looking for eth0. It's easy enough to change the name, but bear in mind that you may have some funnies elsewhere that you will need to change as well (e.g. if you have /etc/network/interfaces - you'll need to update that too).

On the Mathworks forums some of the folks suggest to “force” a name change. Apparently the license is looking for “eth0” but on my machine it is “em1”. That is what is. causing the error. I was just wondering if there is perhaps a more elegant solution to this. Thanks for the help!

It looks like a complaint about the naming convention of your primary NIC. You can force a name-change if you want using the network manager (I did it in RHEL, unsure about Ubuntu) but better to find a solution from Mathworks if you can. What does the indicated solution say?
